[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald Trump Jacobus ? An appeals court upheld a decision Tuesday tossing a Republican commentator's $4 million defamation suit against  President Trump   ruling  his  tweeted insults "were opinion and not fact."
A lower court dismissed Cheryl Jacobus's suit in January  ruling she was engaged in a "petty quarrel" with  Trump  that did not rise to the level of defamation.  Trump  called  her  "a real dummy " among other jabs.
Jacobus  a GOP consultant and TV commentator  sued  Trump  and his former campaign manager  Corey Lewandowski  in April 2016  contending that they raised questions about her professional ethics by suggesting that she only criticized  Trump  on TV after his campaign turned her down for a job early in 2015.

As with many musicians   Tom Petty 's music provides a soundtrack for many fans' lives.
In the case of  Petty   who died Monday night at 66  it's a literal soundtrack  too  as the singer and guitar player's tunes have enjoyed a life far beyond concerts  albums (more than 80 million sold) and radio play  elevating many films and TV shows over the past few decades.
 Petty  earned the ultimate stage  too  as  Tom Petty  and the Heartbreakers performed at the Super Bowl XLII halftime show  playing American Girl  I Won't Back Down  Free Fallin' and Runnin' Down a Dream.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michel Barnier ? Ministers from the 27 other states took just two minutes in Brussels to endorse new instructions to their negotiator Michel Barnier  who will launch talks soon with the aim of sealing a transition package within a couple of months.
Pressed on how that might work   Barnier  said the offer was principally in Britainâs interests and not open to significant negotiation:
âThe United Kingdom must acknowledge these rules of the game and accept them from the outset â  he  told reporters.

 Barnier  said this timetable was still subject to May and  her  ministers agreeing a plan among themselves and presenting it to Brussels -- and also depends on finalizing many issues on the divorce treaty.
 Barnier  said: âI want to remind you  without agreement on all the withdrawal issues  there is no transition.â
 He  also made clear that talks on the future relationship might start after an EU summit in late March -- but only if May spells out what she wants in time for Brussels to put together its own responses. An outline trade package could then be agreed by the time the divorce and transition deal is ready in October.
Showing some willingness to be flexible  the EU ministers are open to extending the transition period if need be to reach a trade pact -- though  Barnier  warned it could not be very long -- and also voiced a will to endorse Britain concluding trade agreements with other countries before the transition ends.
