Chess is the reason POTUS mentions Norway
POTUS did an interview with George Stephanopoulos last night and made this statement: "I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening," Mr. Trump continued. "If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said,] 'We have information on your opponent' — Oh, I think I'd want to hear it."
What's going on in Norway?
