    Trump is the same way with paying contractors. "Hey, guess what? I'm only paying you half what I owe."

    He's expected to behave the same way with the Ukraine war if he becomes president again. "Hey, Ukraine. Guess what? Putin and I will allow you to keep half your country, and we'll keep the other half."

    Trump has been making those types of remarks since the 1980's.

    In the 80's he said Japan was ripping off America.


    What’s Donald Trump planning? 1987 advertisement offers clues

    excerpt:

    "On September 2, 1987, Trump published full-page advertisements in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe that were billed as an “open letter from Donald J. Trump”.

    “Make Japan, Saudi Arabia, and others pay for the protection we extend as allies,” he said in the advertisements, which cost him a total of US$94,801.

    Trump urged America to “‘tax’ these wealthy nations” and allow its economy to grow by relieving itself of “the cost of defending those who can easily afford to pay us for the defence of their freedom”.

    “Let’s not let our great country be laughed at any more,” he concluded."

    Trump suggests Ukraine should give areas `where people speak Russian’

    excerpt:

    "NEW YORK, September 7. /TASS/. Ukraine should give areas with a Russian-speaking population to survive as a country, former US President Donald Trump opined.

    "I would have negotiated a deal," the ex-US leader said in an interview with Just The News. "But you could have also given some areas that are inclined to be Russian, where the people speak Russian, you know, etcetera, etcetera. And you could have had a country [Ukraine]," he said."

    Haley rakes in campaign cash after Trump warned her donors would be 'barred' from MAGA

    RNC may stymie Haley by formally declaring Trump the presumptive nominee.


    Republican National Committee considering move that would declare Trump the presumptive nominee | CNN Politics

    excerpt:

    "A draft resolution circulating among the Republican National Committee would formally declare Donald Trump the Republican Party’s 2024 presumptive nominee.

    While the former president would still need to reach the delegate requirements necessary to win the nomination, if the resolution is approved, he would have access to the RNC’s data operation, benefit from fundraising with the RNC, and have the support of all of the committee’s ground operations. It would also mean the committee would be supporting Trump and effectively opposing former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – an unprecedented break from the party’s past approach to the nominating process."

    Trump and his cronies have become the DC insiders that he says he dislikes so much.


    Haley campaign lashes out at RNC, Ronna McDaniel over resolution to declare Trump presumptive GOP nominee

    excerpt:

    "Who cares what the RNC says? We'll let millions of Republican voters across the country decide who should be our party's nominee, not a bunch of Washington insiders," Haley campaign spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas told Fox News Digital.

    When he was president, Trump said he wanted the U.S. to pay back only part of the national debt.

    It sent shock waves through the financial markets.

    It's money the government owes the people.

    The bank loans Trump refused to pay back are money of the public who let the banks use it for loans while expecting a return on it.

    Trump doesn't understand any of this and how his reneging on loans is ripping off the general public. His supporters fall for his rhetoric, not releasing they are allowing him to cheat them out of their money.

    ‘Preposterous’: Federal judge decries efforts to downplay Jan. 6 violence, label perpetrators ‘hostages’

    excerpt:

    "The longest-serving district judge on the federal bench in Washington, D.C., warned Thursday that false rhetoric about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — including the sorts of lies hurled by former President Donald Trump and some of his congressional allies — poses an ongoing danger to the nation.

    Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee to the bench, said the “destructive” misinformation, spread by political leaders who have downplayed and misrepresented the attack, had become pervasive.

    “In my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream,” Lamberth lamented in a seven-page public court filing.

    Though he did not mention Trump by name, Lamberth specifically called out language used by Trump and, more recently, Trump allies like Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), describing Jan. 6 defendants as “hostages.”"

    https://www.usnews.com/news/world/a...n-trump-2024-rematch-reuters-ipsos-poll-finds

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump leads Democratic President Joe Biden by six percentage points in a Reuters/Ipsos poll that showed Americans are unhappy about an election rematch that came into sharper focus this week.

    The nationwide poll of 1,250 U.S. adults showed Trump leading Biden 40% to 34% with the rest unsure or planning to vote for someone else or no one. The poll had a margin of error of three percentage points.

    That represented a gain for Trump after a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month showed him and Biden tied, though a nationwide survey does not capture the subtleties of the electoral college contest that will be decided this fall in just a handful of competitive states."

    Scarborough remark about Tim Scott.


    https://www.salon.com/2024/01/25/ti...sement-for-trump-the-humiliation-is-so-naked/

    excerpt:

    “He’s supporting a guy right now who defended Nazis in Charlottesville," Scarborough continued. "He’s defending a guy that supports the replacement theory. He’s defending a guy and supporting a guy — happily, happily. — that's easily the most racist president in our lifetimes.

    Tim Scott is a U.S. Senator from SC, Nikki Haley's home state.

    When she was governor or SC, Nikki Haley appointed Tim Scott to the U.S. Senate seat when DeMint vacated to head The Heritage Foundation..

    Scott had a chance to endorse Haley in 2024 but endorsed Trump instead.

    Tim Scott should have pulled Trump's pants down on stage and kissed his rear end while saying, "We're going to beat Nikki Haley, the person who gave me my U.S. Senate seat."


    https://www.salon.com/2024/01/25/ti...sement-for-trump-the-humiliation-is-so-naked/

    excerpt:

    "Critics are ripping former presidential candidate and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., over his praise-filled exchange with Donald Trump during the former president's Tuesday remarks in New Hampshire, with many emphasizing how "humiliating" Scott's admiring comments to Trump were.

    “It was humiliating to watch what Tim Scott did as a sitting senator,” Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil rights leader, said during an appearance on "Morning Joe" Wednesday, per The Guardian. "And at one time … he wasn’t even on the script, he interrupted Trump to pay homage.”"

    Tim Scott - Wikipedia

    excerpt:

    "On December 17, 2012, South Carolina governor Nikki Haley announced she would appoint Scott to replace retiring Senator Jim DeMint, who had previously announced that he would retire from the Senate to become the President of The Heritage Foundation.[60] "
