Barcelona fear Manchester United will trigger Samuel Umtiti's £54m release clause
Jose Mourinho is keen to strengthen his squad and, though he's pessimistic about deals being done in January, the 54-year-old expects 'two or three' signings in the summer.
Umtiti, 24, is a first-team regular at the Camp Nou but his £52,000-a-week wages fall well short of his status within the squad and he wants his salary doubled to stay at the club.
However, Barcelona currently spend around around 84% of their revenue on wages
and need to bring the figure down if they're to make signature signings like Philippe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann in the summer.
Liverpool's £75million move for Southampton ace Virgil Van Dijk will inflate prices for defenders in the market
and Umtiti is one of the few top centre-backs available on the market.
According to the Sun, Barcelona fear United will meet the defender's release clause
and are trying to renegotiate the figure to keep him in Spain.
Umtiti is only likely to sign a new deal if the La Liga giants meet his wage demands
and he's aware he could more than double his salary in the Premier League.

"People Will Say That You're A Failure!" - Study Motivation - Duration: 10:25.
so many people put me down and say Nick you look too weird and no one's really
offended you can't do this and you can't do that and I couldn't change anything I
it's not like just fixing my hair one day and everything's fine it's not like
you know just whatever I couldn't change my circumstance I could have just one
day wake up and say hey give me arms legs I need arms legs yeah I mean like I
went to a bodybuilder you know and said can you make me some arms and legs no
I'm joking body builder do you get it right hey you know I got to be able
can you give me a hand you know I'm just joking but it was so hard because
people put me down and I started believing that I was not good enough I
started believing that I was a failure but I'll never ever be somebody who
people would like or people would accept and it was so hard man I thought to
myself I you know I can't go on the go on the soccer field with like everybody
else and I can't ride my bike and I can't skateboard and all these sort of
things and I started getting depressed I thought what kind of purpose do I have
to live I mean do you are you just here to live to die I mean is there not a
purpose for me is there not a purpose in life and I had questions and no answers
and I asked my mom and dad why did this happen I asked doctors why did this
happen they don't know there are some things in life that are out of your
control that you can't change and you got to live with the choice that we have
though is either to give up or keep on going I wanna ask you what are you
gonna believe are you gonna believe in yourself are you gonna believe everybody
else's judgment on you are you gonna believe people when they say that you're
a failure no one really likes you no one really cares about you it's not really
to say that hey you need someone to come up and say hey really I I like you I
care about you no it's not that but it's the fact that people put you down people
don't even look you in the eye people ask you how you why and you say fine but
you're not fine and they'll know they'll never know that here's maybe the
greatest thing a teen or anyone in this room and who's watching on the
television at home can learn from the champ these are words to remember when
anyone tries to tell you to give up tell you to give in because whatever you're
trying to do is impossible the champ said this impossible is just a word
thrown around by a small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been
given than to explore the power they have to change it impossible is not a
fact it's an opinion impossible this potential impossible is temporary
impossible is nothing greatest goal ever
so as a relatively new dad and a former team I'm here to say you will make
mistakes along the way you will fall down I have
many times even Ali did but what we do after that fall is how we make
history because impossible is nothing in your
life what obstacles that you face before you achieve success did positivity help
you in some ways and how did you come up with this solution wow that's a good a
good philosophical question and you know we all have adversity in our lives I
doubt if you really you know if you know somebody any friend or anybody that you
talk to there's no lack of adversity and by the way that's good because it's what
teaches us how to get back up you fall down you get back up it always happens
and you know you get certain gifts in life and you wanna take advantages of
those but you like it's my advice on adversity and success would be to be
proud not of your gifts but of your hard work and your choices so you know you
may be the kinds of gifts you get like you know you might be really good at
math it might be really easy for you that's a kind of gift but practicing
that math and taking it to the next step that could be very challenging and hard
and take a lot of sweat that's a choice you can't really be proud of your gifts
because they were given to you you can be grateful for them and thankful for
them and but your choices you choose to work hard you choose to do hard things
those are choices that you can be proud of how easy is it when you go practicing
now to have what your mindset is it to improve or is it just to keep winning or
because it's yeah personally I found it very difficult at some points ya no
for me it's always to improve and I've had some tough losses this year but
those losses I think were necessary and they helped me to work on my game
forced me to see that I need to get better at this I need to get better at
this and this and now I've gotten better at it so yeah why are you here what's
your reason for being why do you get up in the morning most people don't have a
clue and yeah the bills keep a roof over your
head I think we have to reflect on Who am I why am I here
what drives me if I died today what three words what I want said about me if
I died today you know what is it that defines me you know and how how do i
define myself most people allow their circumstances to define them as opposed
to defining themselves and how they're gonna show up in life and so my
mission is to help people to connect with the power they have within their
greatness when you're pursuing your greatness you don't know what your
limits are so you act like you don't have any and when you live from that
place you can now be able to make a greater contribution and make a greater
impact with your life when I was 25 or so I probably weighed about 138 pounds I
smoked like a pack of cigarettes day I drank tremendous amount of alcohol I was
from northern Alberta this rough little town up in northern Alberta called
Fairview and you know there were long winters there and my friends were heavy
drinkers and most of them dropped out of school by the time they were 15 or 16
went off to work on the oil rigs and you know it was a rough town and we drank a
lot I started when I was 14 and you know and so I was I had a lot of bad habits
let's say and things that were and I wasn't in great shape physically and I
was also still intellectually obsessed by as I am now and so that would have
been that would have been in 85 but when I but I decided around that about 85 84
or something like that maybe a little earlier that I was really gonna try to
get my act together and so I started doing that I you know I first of all I
quit smoking well that took a long time because I eventually had to quit
drinking too in order to quit smoking and I started working out starting playing
sports which I'd never done I had a fine time when I was a kid and
but I needed really to get disciplined and I had to do it because I was working
on these hard problems that you know that I've been discussing with all of
you and I've been working on them really you know obsessively since I was
probably about 18 maybe even earlier than that got to the point around 25
when I was in graduate school trying to get my PhDs doing all my research like I
published fifteen papers by the time I graduated with my PhD which was by I
think by a fairly large measure the most papers that any graduate student at
that time had ever published at McGill I think that's right might have been twice
as many or maybe twice as many maybe even three times as many and at the same
time I wrote maps of meaning which was a terrible terrible terribly difficult
thing to do because I was writing about three hours a day doing that and I
couldn't do all that and continue with my misbehavior you know my sort of my
what what would you say my my my hedonistic my hedonistic my massive
hedonistic consumption of alcohol and all of that I just couldn't keep it up
and also work seriously on the issues that were at hand so you know I had to
stop now it's a sacrifice I had to stop messing about and straight myself oh I'm
I'm a believer bro I like I see things and I wanna make them real no matter
how how hard it takes no matter what obstacles no matter how many
embarrassing meetings I have to imagine it's happening when I leave does it
matter I'm a doer and a freaking make it happener I was a garbage man like Troy
huh you get eight hours worth of work but you can do it in three so you can go
home as soon as you finish post office you get three hours worth of work and
you make it last eight I did both I like being the garbage man better but they
weren't bad jobs just like you know people say oh the difficulty of making a movie
I'm like send your son in Iraq that's difficult it's just a movie it's like
relax I don't play that precious nonsense oh whoa get out of here
you know your son got shot in the face that's difficult making a movie is
this is a luxury it's a gift it's an opportunity and most
importantly it's a gift obviously everybody here is talented enough to do
that but don't get it twisted it's just a movie
the harder I work the more productive I will be is has been debunked by the
science if you study human performance just what they've realized it Jim
Lehrer and Tony Schwartz have done some great work in this field but here's what
the science says optimal performance and productivity happens in 90-minute cycles
so what am I saying work for 90 minutes and then take a
break to recover then work for another 90 minutes and then go for a
walk and then work for another 90 minutes and then take a drink of water
and then work for another 90 minutes and maybe take a nap or read something
interesting that's not related to what you were doing what will that do it will
keep your mind focused on the work at hand it will increase your energy
because energy is like a well you deplete it you need to fill up the well
again and it will really keep you and your productive that's also keep you
inspired rather than getting burned out

Will Smartphones Get More Expensive in 2018? (Upcoming Smartphones 2018) - Duration: 2:06.
Apple iPhone X - $1000.
Apple iPhone 8 - $700.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - $900.
Samsung Galaxy S8 - $800.
These are just a few of the top brand name smartphones of 2017.
Phones with extremely good performance, great cameras, and great specs.
There is no doubt that smartphones prices are increase with every new model released,
and with every new year, we expect a new model to be released.
But just how much will prices increase in 2017?
The Smartphone industry has clearly been switching its focus to drive sales value, and top tier
global brands, such as Apple, Google, HTC, Huawei, LG, Moto, Nokia, Samsung and Sony,
either already have, or will release, new premium models in an effort to upsell customers
to their flagship devices.
This is something which can clearly be seen by the global director of telecom research
at the organization known as Growth from Knowledge.
According to one statistical graph, we can see that between the years 2012-2015, average
smartphone prices were decreasing slowly but surely year by year, but when 2016 hit, There
was a noticeable increase in prices, leading up to 2017.
Given this data, and a realistic perspective of how technology is moving forward at an
extremely fast rate, we can say for sure that prices can be expected to increase in 2018.
Here I'm mainly talking about the Big Boys on the Market, not necessarily those companies
who make smartphones for Budget Buyers.
Speaking of the Budget Dedicated companies, you can probably also expect to see more and
more good quality smartphones being produced by them in the upcoming year.
While this isn't a sure thing for 2018, since we all don't know what companies like
Samsung, Apple and LG are planning for 2018, I think according to the path that we can
see being taken, prices are sure to increase.
And yeah, that's just about it for this video.
I didn't plan to blab for too long, just wanted to make it short and sweet, and answer
an actually important question.
Thanks for watching.

Shark Tank Young Entrepreneur Will Accept A Deal Only From Mark Cuban - Best of Shark Tank TV - Duration: 8:31.
Best of Shark Tank TV
Shark Tank Young Entrepreneur Will Accept A Deal Only From Mark Cuban - Best of Shark Tank TV
I'm seeking $100,000 in exchange for 20% of my company as a social enterprise
Arbitron is an online recourse business that buys used or unwanted electronics
not only do we offer the highest price in the market but we are also the
greenest place for you to get rid of your cellphone's calculators mp3 players
and more now sharks I know you guys always want the biggest baddest newest
smartest smartphones there is to offer however not everyone is that case in
fact me myself I don't even want the newest tomorrow and thus IRA trunk
caters to them by providing older phones that still have years of life left in
them to people who can't pay the full price with their technology the best
part is it's as easy as one go on our website and receive an instant quote and
number to ship is your products free of charge and finally three get paid in
less than 48 hours let's dream for the world it's free and clear wallets what
do you say sharks how for you to reach wrong walk nature an example I sell you
my old phone right do you fix it up then and try to sell it to somebody else well
inspect it within 48 hours then we'll send you a check okay so your part is
done do you have a guarantee buyer on your end yes and that's been proven
because we were running this for two years
and we have zero inventory meaning that it never gets stuck right selling it is
so much easier than actually getting the product and that's what we need to work
on we need to market because I haven't spent any money yet on advertisements
Jay said what makes you different from the other ninety guys doing there's that
same thing right so yes I am aware that we do have a lot of competition but the
one thing that separates us is the worst social enterprise if you look at our
website we accept over 5,000 different products including products that have
literally no value because number one is environmentally friendly and number two
it's a simple way of customer acquisition so you're basically telling
me you're making less for me as an investor because you're buying stuff
that nobody wants so that cost me your pay
higher prices which kills my margins everybody's telling me they're green
because that's for free anybody can say that mm-hmm but there's so much
competition in fact if you google this there's so many pages you'll die of old
age get into the last but if you google us right now if you search and sell my
Kindle we're actually on the first page of Google all right Jason let's forget
what Kevin says let's let's see what the market says what are your sales so in
the past 12 months we've made $40,000 and I don't want us to get caught up in
the numbers because why not because you have to look at our growth rate first
$40,000 in this industry is an absolute nothing burger on that 40,000 that you
made him profit how much $10,000 so we have about a 25% net profit margin Jason
do you do this full-time no I'm 16 years old you're obviously
very savvy you know what's out there what do you think you have to offer
that's better the one thing that separates us you know we're not always
you know a hundred percent profit driven we care about social environment and
profit all equally Jason what drives you is it the social responsibility or are
you trying to build a business I think there's there's a lot of things I
emigrated to America when I was six years old
where'd you come from China I always wanted to be independent and I always
wanted to contribute rather than to take for myself I like to say that I had two
passions in my life one is judo and the other is re Tron and
so with judo I started that when I was five years old and I wasn't half bad
either I got to Nationals and I was about to go to the US Open
until I broke my back end of the month that I was in bed resting I began
reading a lot of books and one of them was called how to change the world by
David Bornstein in which he talks about social entrepreneurship in third-world
countries and how that's really making a difference
Jason I just read in the Wall Street Journal that's something like 85% of all
new businesses are started by immigrants or children of immigrants
I admire how far you've come at 16 because my friend at 16 I wasn't
anywhere near where you are right now that is almost the the business you
presented today I'm not seeing it and to give you a hundred thousand
I just don't think I see how it's gonna make the business better I wish you all
the best but I ma'am thank you but that was 16 I wasn't doing electronics but I
was buying and selling stamps I already knew what I could sell it for so I can
flip it very quickly that's exactly what this it right at the point is right now
you're forced to hustle everything is I've got to go out there
and figure out how to pay for it before I do it right
introducing that much capital into a business it gives you a comfort level
that you shouldn't have particularly while you're still in school I mean I
love what you're doing but it scares me that the money would take you in a
different direction and so for that reason I'm out well thank you very much
for your time and really part of this is all about inspiring the next generation
Jason you got a deal with your generation before you I was thinking you
know what next generation next generation that's my generation so it's
up to me to make a solution and it's up to me to inspire all of my friends on
all the main centers you value this that half a million dollars okay so one test
that you should always do in your own life before you come in front of an
investor like me is could I do this myself and hold 100% of it for a lot
less than half a million dollars because there's nothing proprietary
about what you're doing so you failed that test and for that reason I'm not
sure about this business all right I don't know if it's gonna win or it's
gonna lose so it's a big question mark quite honestly in my head but what I'm
gonna do is I'm gonna offer you $200,000 for the 20% in your business for one
reason only I feel like you're a winner I don't know what form that winnings
gonna take all right but it comes with a big contingency the contingency is or
twofold the one you're gonna get the money on it as needed basis because
you're only 16 you talk like you're 30 but you're only 16 you know the
contingency is I want to have 20 percent of any business you think about and
store it over the next five years that is the kind of grade that just disgusts
me I'm putting up big blank checking on you which makes no sense but I can't
help but to feel you are with Wow thank you oh well I think you're great I love
what you're doing because you're a young entrepreneur I think that Barbara has
offered you a deal and it's a lot better than what I would have offered so for
that reason I'll go out thank you very much for your time
so Barbara I love your offer but if I can address mark no problem very much
and so mark honestly I'm not gonna stop hustling I've been working on this for
the past two years and I'm reaching the level where I can't do any more than
what I can right now I said like I don't have the ability or
the knowledge and I really love to both of you and I would really love it if
both of you can you know if I could work with both of you would you guys like to
comment on this together I'll tell you that I'll tell you do this deal with
Barbara I'll be a partner with Barbara in it I'll split it I'll split it with
you can take money from you why not just put it yeah let's do work

A Simple 24-Hour Challenge That Will Boost Your MTB Skills | DailyGroove 024 - Duration: 2:48.
Hey Groovers, Chris Carter here.
Welcome to the DailyGroove Vlog.
You're probably wondering why I'm walking
around my house with no mountain bike in sight.
Well there's a very good reason.
One of the best things you can do
for your mountain biking skills is get control
over your posture on the bike.
That starts with riding with your pelvis aligned
with your spine much as possible,
no matter whether you are climbing or descending,
on or off the saddle, or whatever.
And that's why the hip hinge is so important
and why you hear me talk about it so much.
By hinging at the hips,
instead of bending through your back,
you can align your pelvis with your spine
and be in control of your posture.
This naturally activates core stability,
which is the foundation of optimal movement.
This posture supercharges your pedal power, your movement,
your efficiency, your endurance
and your control in every way.
That's why I get so excited about it.
And it doesn't cost you anything.
It doesn't matter what bike you ride, your wheel size.
You can make this change.
This is something everybody can do to improve their skills.
The thing is though,
if you normally ride with a bit of a bend in your spine
it can be a bit of a challenge to train yourself out of
that back bend habit and into the hip hinge habit.
There are some great training programmes out there
that can help you learn this new habit,
but one of the greatest things you can do
for yourself is start incorporating a hip hinge
into everyday movements around the house and at your work.
This is easy to do,
and if you start bringing the hip hinge habit
into more of your life,
rather than just your life behind bars,
you'll form the habit faster,
and it will benefit you in so many more ways.
So do this!
Challenge yourself today
to see how many times you can hip hinge in a day
around your home and work,
and then make it a habit daily off and on the bike.
You'll start to notice that riding
in control of your posture,
especially when the trail gets tough,
is one of the key control skills you need,
to mountain bike better.
And it doesn't cost you a cent.
All it takes is a little bit of commitment and action.
I've given you the tip,
but it's worth nothing if you don't put it into action.
So, put it into action!
Start hip hinging everywhere you can.
Share this tip with someone
who you know is a back bender, too.

What will Dragon Ball Super be like in 2018? - Duration: 5:07.
Dragon Ball Super has been on fire this last year, and to be honest the whole
journey has been breathtakingly epic, now I'm going to talk to you guys about
what the next year is going to be like for this anime which we've all grown to
love despite all its flaws which were there in the beginning, you know I
understand many of us are actually anime fans not manga fans because we've
had a habit of actually watching things happen you know instead of reading
right-to-left and getting confused in the whole sequence of events happening, I
always get confused I don't know about you but I get confused but there's a
friend of mine not actually a friend I just know me from a group well I wish
he was a friend though he's a nice guy so that person is KenXyro a very
prominent translator of Dragon Ball super the Japanese dub and everything he
translates them and create subtitles for all of us and he's been a really
reliable source of information for all the things that have been happening so
here's something that he posted and I'm gonna show you guys that
you guessed it right, Uub is coming back yes - so this snippet is basically from the latest
chapter Dragon Ball super manga at the time when Goku was looking Android 17 then it
Dende tells him about a little kid who has spectacular power and the kid doesn't
even realize it so he tells Goku to training when the kid gets older so Goku
actually reluctantly says that it's not it's actual style to do all this, like
mentorship and Dende tell him, that he's actually the reincarnation of
Majin Buu, his soul was cleansed and he was sent back to earth
so the opposite of Buu is Uub, I think this detail was not in the anime and to
be honest I'm really excited I'm real excited for it now he's gonna be in the
in the whole picture of Dragon Ball super Goku is gonna train him it is hey
it is breathtaking and I think the fact the whole there's a problem with the
continuity of the anime where people are saying that the end of Dragon Ball Z
shows Goku fighting Uub now maybe Dragon Ball super will tie up to that moment
I mean the last episode of Dragon Ball Z will actually be in the middle of Dragon
Ball super Soho I mean you never know what's gonna happen next right and that
is he actually amazing part of this anime and I'm in love with Dragon Ball
super so this was the first part of this video now let's get on with the second
part how 2018 is gonna be for this anime

The ICC Just Announced It Will Treat War As a Crime - Duration: 5:26.
War is a crime. The International Criminal Court has just announced that it will finally
treat it as a crime, sort-of, kind-of. But how can war's status as a crime effectively
deter the world's leading war-maker from threatening and launching more wars, large
and small? How can laws against war actually be put to use? How can the ICC's announcement
be made into something more than a pretense? The Kellogg-Briand Pact made war a crime in
1928, and various atrocities became criminal charges at Nuremberg and Tokyo because they
were constituent parts of that larger crime. The United Nations Charter maintained war
as a crime, but limited it to "aggressive" war, and gave immunity to any wars launched
with U.N. approval. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) could
try the United States for attacking a country if (1) that country brought a case, and (2)
the United States agreed to the process, and (3) the United States chose not to block any
judgment by using its veto power at the U.N. Security Council. Desirable future reforms
obviously include urging all U.N. members to accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the
ICJ, and eliminating the veto. But what can be done now?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) can
try individuals for various "war crimes," but has thus far tried only Africans, though
for some time now it has claimed to be "investigating" U.S. crimes in Afghanistan. Although the U.S.
is not a member of the ICC, Afghanistan is. Desirable future reforms obviously include
urging all nations, including the United States, to join the ICC. But what can be done now?
The ICC has finally announced that it will prosecute individuals (such as the U.S. president
and secretary of "defense") for the crime of "aggression," which is to say: war.
But such wars must be launched after July 17, 2018. And those who can be prosecuted
for war will be only citizens of those nations that have both joined the ICC and ratified
the amendment adding jurisdiction over "aggression." Desirable future reforms obviously include
urging all nations, including the United States, to ratify the amendment on "aggression."
But what can be done now? The only way around these restrictions, is
for the U.N. Security Council to refer a case to the ICC. If that happens, then the ICC
can prosecute anyone in the world for the crime of war.
This means that for the force of law to have any chance of deterring the U.S. government
from threatening and launching wars, we need to persuade one or more of the fifteen nations on
the U.N. Security Council to make clear that they will raise the matter for a vote. Five
of those fifteen have veto power, and one of those five is the United States.
So, we also need nations of the world to proclaim that when the Security Council fails to refer
the case, they will bring the matter before the U.N. General Assembly though a "Uniting
for Peace" procedure in emergency session to override the veto. This is what was just
done in December 2017 to overwhelmingly pass a resolution that the U.S. had vetoed, a resolution
condemning the U.S. naming Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
Not only do we need to jump through each of these hoops (a commitment to a Security Council
vote, and a commitment to override the veto in the General Assembly) but we need to make
evident beforehand that we will be certain or likely to do so.
Therefore, World Beyond War is launching a global petition to the national governments
of the world asking for their public commitment to refer any war launched by any nation to
the ICC with or without the Security Council. After all, it is not only U.S. wars that should
be prosecuted as crimes, but all wars. And, in fact, it may prove necessary to prosecute
junior partners of the United States in its "coalition" wars prior to prosecuting
the ring leader. The problem is not one of lack of evidence, of course, but of political
will. The U.K., France, Canada, Australia, or some other co-conspirator may be brought
by global and internal pressure (and the ability to circumvent the U.N. Security Council) to
submit to the rule of law prior to the United States doing so.
A key detail is this: how much organized murder and violent destruction constitutes a war?
Is a drone strike a war? Is base expansion and a few home raids a war? How many bombs
make a war? The answer should be any use of military force. But in the end, this question
will be answered by public pressure. If we can inform people of it and persuade the nations
of the world to refer it to trial, then it will be a war, and therefore a crime.

Trump rails against North Korea and China, says Mueller will be 'fair,' during wide-ranging
interview
Satellite images reportedly show China selling oil to NORTH Korea
President Trump railed against "nuclear menace" North Korea and fumed at the reports China
illegally delivered oil to the Hermit Kingdom, exclaiming "That wasn't my deal!" during a
wide-ranging interview Thursday with an outlet he's long derided.
During an impromptu talk with a New York Times reporter, Trump said his stance on trade with
China has "been soft" in order to encourage the country to help bring an end to the North
Korean nuclear threat.
But after a South Korean report Wednesday said U.S. spy satellites caught Chinese ships
illegally sending oil to North Korean boats dozens of times since October, Trump told
The Times that sort of transaction wasn't acceptable, adding "the only thing more
important to me than trade is war."
"Oil is going into North Korea.
That wasn't my deal!" Trump said.
"If they're helping me with North Korea, I can look at trade a little bit differently,
at least for a period of time.
And that's what I've been doing.
But when oil is going in, I'm not happy about that."
He added: "We have a nuclear menace out there, which is no good for China."
The comment followed a tweet from Trump earlier Thursday saying: "Caught RED HANDED – very
disappointed that China is allowing oil to go into North Korea.
There will never be a friendly solution to the North Korea problem if this continues
to happen!"
In addition to China and North Korea, Trump spoke to The Times about several other topics
that have shadowed his first year in the White House, including special counsel Robert Mueller's
Russia probe.
Trump said he believed he was "going to be treated fairly" by Mueller and ultimately
be vindicated.
"I can only tell you that there is absolutely no collusion," Trump said.
"Everybody knows it.
And you know who knows it better than anybody?
The Democrats.
They walk around blinking at each other."
He added he believed the investigation was meritless, calling it a "ruse" devised
by members of the Democratic Party "as an excuse for losing an election," and lamented
the inquiry made "the country look very bad."
"It makes the country look very bad, and it puts the country in a very bad position,"
Trump said.
"So the sooner it's worked out, the better it is for the country."
Regarding the investigation and Attorney General Jeff Session's recusal -- an event that
ultimately led to Mueller's appointment -- Trump unexpectedly touted his predecessor's attorney
general, Eric Holder, to The Times.
In what appeared to be a veiled shot at Sessions, Trump praised Holder for his "loyalty"
to former President Barack Obama, saying Holder "totally protected him."
"And I have great respect for that, I'll be honest," Trump said.
Regarding his administration's success' during the year, Trump hailed his recently-passed
tax bill, boasting he knows "the details of taxes better than anybody" and knows
"the details of health care better than most."
When asked about Alabama Republican Roy Moore's recent failed Senate bid, Trump told the outlet
he felt he had to give his endorsement "as the head of the party."
Trump added he believed he'd "win another four years" in the White House, and that
news outlets would eventually back him because otherwise "their ratings" would
go "down the tubes."
