Trump is still praising Putin and Kim Jong Un. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...ocuses-foreign-policy-speech-gops-top-donors/ excerpt: "“I knew Putin very well. He would not have done it. He would have never done it,” Trump said, without mentioning that, as president, he held up military aid for Ukraine as he pushed the country to investigate Biden’s son Hunter. He espoused praise for North Korea’s brutal leader, marveling at how Kim’s generals and aides “cowered” when the dictator spoke to them. “Total control,” Trump said of how Kim ran the country, describing generals snapping to attention and standing up on command. “His people were sitting at attention,” he added. “I looked at my people and said I want my people to act like that,” he said to laughter. Trump also spent a large portion of his speech falsely claiming that he won Georgia, Wisconsin and other states in the 2020 election, offering unsubstantiated theories about how he won. After not touching on the election until minute 45 — a win for some of his advisers — he finished the speech with a long jeremiad about it. For example, he said, he knew he had to have won Georgia because he won Alabama and South Carolina by such large numbers, and he accused Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg of tilting the election against him."
Trump muses on war with Russia and praises Kim Jong Un By Josh Dawsey March 6, 2022 7:28 a.m. EST Updated March 6, 2022 at 9:45 a.m. EST https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...ocuses-foreign-policy-speech-gops-top-donors/ excerpt: "He also viciously mocked Republicans who didn’t back him in his crusade to hold power after he lost the 2020 election. “Stupid, corrupt Mitch McConnell,” he said of the Senate minority leader, before labeling former vice president Mike Pence a “conveyor belt — like corn” for opening and counting the electoral college votes as the Constitution requires."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...ocuses-foreign-policy-speech-gops-top-donors/ excerpt: "Trump made an ominous call for the party to be more loyal in backing up his claims about fraud. “The vote counter is often more important than the candidate,” he told the crowd, saying he had learned that from radio show host Mark Levin. “ … We have to get a lot tougher and smarter at the polls.” If not, he said, the Republican Party would no longer exist. “At a certain point, they won’t show up if we allow this to happen again,” he said of Republicans. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, he added, had vowed she would “work on it.”"
Trump had been refraining from childishly name-calling Pence. Calling him a 'conveyor belt' is a departure for him. It's becoming more difficult for Trump to refrain from name-calling now that Pence is clearly separating himself from Trump.
Trump managed to go 45 minutes in his latest fund-raising speech before starting up a long rant about his 'stolen' election.
Trump hasn't gained any traction in trying to oust Mitch McConnell if the GOP should take control of the House after the 2022 midterm elections.
You know, Trump will be twice as crazy, in two years, as he is now. I think people will see that and vote against him. Of course you did. He’s your boss.
Have the vote counters throw out tens of thousands of votes for the opponents because they allegedly are fraudulent ballots sneaked into the election center via a food truck and a Korean passenger jet.
Roger Stone said Jared Kushner should be 'punished in the most brutal possible way' in previously unheard recordings, WaPo reports excerpt: "In the recordings, Stone raged against Kushner for failing to help secure pardons for himself and other allies from outgoing President Trump. Stone said Kushner needed to be "punished in the most brutal possible way" and would be "brain dead when I get finished with him," The Post reported."
Roger Stone said Jared Kushner should be 'punished in the most brutal possible way' in previously unheard recordings, WaPo reports excerpt: "Stone had also created a "pardon wish list" of various other felons, and in October 2020 told one prisoner's representative that Jared Kushner would help him secure them. They included Michael Sessa and Victor Orena, according to the Washington Post, reported to be the former acting boss and a captain of the Colombo crime family in New York. They are serving life sentences for murder and racketeering convictions in the 1990s."
Roger Stone said Jared Kushner should be 'punished in the most brutal possible way' in previously unheard recordings, WaPo reports excerpt: "The day of Joe Biden's inauguration, Stone was wearing a microphone but out of view as he complained to staffer Enrique Alejandro about Kushner, The Post said. "In two weeks he's moving to Miami," Stone told Alejandro, referring to a $32 million lot in Miami purchased by Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump. "He's going to get a beating. He needs to have a beating. And needs to be told, 'This time we're just beating you. Next time we're killing you,'" Stone reportedly said to Alejandro. Alejandra urged Stone to say he was joking, aware that filmmakers were nearby, but Stone refused. "No, no, it isn't joking. Not joking. It's not a joke," Stone reportedly replied."
The political comedy show Spitting Image portrayed Jared Kushner as beyond brain dead. In the episodes, when Trump needed Kushner for another PR event, he would yell out, "Bring in the kid!" The staff would roll a Kushner manikin on wheels to Trump.
In an attempt at expand Kushner's minister-of-everything post to include the medical field, Trump had Kushner show up at one of his coronavirus press gatherings. Kushner gave a confusing address. The media and general public didn't know what to make of it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/03/jared-kushner-coronavirus-briefing/ excerpt: "While Kushner spoke Thursday with an air of authority, his rare on-camera moment appeared to only spark questions and pointed commentary about whether he is qualified to handle his critical duties. Kushner, a former real estate developer turned newspaper publisher, has no medical background and did not have any experience in government before Trump’s election in 2016. “Is this a joke????” Sunny Hostin, a co-host of ABC’s “The View,” wrote on Twitter alongside a clip of Kushner speaking at the briefing. The White House did not respond to a request for comment late Thursday. Why is Jared Kushner, someone with absolutely no medical background, speaking about a global pandemic and opining about managerial competence?!!! He couldn’t even pass a security clearance. Is this a joke???? https://t.co/kOwTGSpro1 — Sunny Hostin (@Sunny) April 2, 2020"
Is trump ok with this. . . . . Yes Trump’s own mafia. Willing to sacrifice anything to save himself. Think Michael Corleone having his own brother offed.
