TRUMP AND HARVEY: From POLITICO’s Josh Dawsey: “President Donald Trump sought to project tough competence in the face of the biggest natural disaster of his presidency, describing the hurricane battering Texas over the weekend as an epic storm on social media and announcing he will visit the state on Tuesday. The White House released photos Sunday showing Trump, with a trademark tough-guy look and a white USA hat, at a conference table at the Camp David retreat leading a teleconference of his senior staff on how to handle Hurricane Harvey, which the National Weather Service has described as ‘unprecedented.’ The agency said rainfall deluging the southeast part of the state could reach 50 inches in some places, and television footage and photos showed much of the Galveston-Corpus Christi-Houston region of Texas beset by extensive flooding well after the storm made landfall Friday night. Trump’s friends say he has a short attention span — he also tweeted about an upcoming trip to Missouri and his proposed border wall Sunday — but he sought to present himself as focused on Texas, posting online about the hurricane repeatedly. ‘Even experts have said they’ve never seen one like this!’ he tweeted at one point. ‘Major rescue operations underway!’ he wrote later Sunday.”

LAW AND ORDER?: From the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman: “President Trump spent 18 months as the ultimate law-and-order candidate, promising to rescue an American way of life he said was threatened by terrorists, illegal immigrants and inner-city criminals. But during seven months as president, many critics and legal scholars say, Mr. Trump has shown a flexible view on the issue, one that favors the police and his own allies over strict application of the rule of law. Over the past two years, in ways big and small, the critics say, Mr. Trump has signaled that taking the law into one’s own hands is permissible, within the executive branch or in local police departments, or even against a heckler at one of his rallies.”

MEXICO STILL NOT PAYING: From POLITICO’s Louis Nelson: “Spurred by President Donald Trump’s emphatic reiteration that it will eventually pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the Mexican government said in a statement Sunday that it will not fund such a project ‘under any circumstances.’ ‘As the Mexican government has always stated, our country will not pay, under any circumstances, for a wall or physical barrier built on US territory along the Mexican border,’ the statement from Mexico’s foreign ministry read. ‘This statement is not part of a Mexican negotiating strategy, but rather a principle of national sovereignty and dignity.’”

THE LATEST TRUMP-RUSSIA NEWS: From the Washington Post’s Carol D. Leonnig, Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman:“While Donald Trump was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers. As part of the discussions, a Russian-born real estate developer urged Trump to come to Moscow to tout the proposal and suggested that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say ‘great things’ about Trump, according to several people who have been briefed on his correspondence. The developer, Felix Sater, predicted in a November 2015 email that he and Trump Organization leaders would soon be celebrating — both one of the biggest residential projects in real estate history and Donald Trump’s election as president, according to two of the people with knowledge of the exchange. Sater wrote to Trump Organization Executive Vice President Michael Cohen ‘something to the effect of, “Can you believe two guys from Brooklyn are going to elect a president?”’ said one person briefed on the email exchange. Sater emigrated from what was then the Soviet Union when he was 6 and grew up in Brooklyn.”
