    Trump is experiencing intense consternation in trying to decide whether to tear-gas her or grab her by the pussy

    Trump has been saying the confederate flag has nothing to do with race............

    Tell that to the 8 year old black girl who has been terrorized and plagued with bad dreams since this this incident occurred back in 2015

    Justice was served but the trauma will last a lifetime.

    Just one more of Rump's series of lies. Rump said of "choice" on TV, "Nobody thought we could do it - but we did it." He's correct that we didn't think he could do it..................... because Obama already DID IT.

    He also took credit for "opening" a factory in the deep South - that was actually opened under Obama. FACT.

    Next, this P.O.S. will take credit for winning the American Revolution and defeating the British all by himself. He probably designed the Apollo moon rockets & the space shuttle too.

    All bad news for Trump.

    He has been relegated to talking about sending federal agents to cities to straighten them out and having Pompeo play the 'China is the enemy' card, hoping that it will distract the public from his failures.

    Trump appears to have backed off his threat to cut funding to schools that don't fully reopen.

    He canceled the RNC convention in Florida supposedly for public safety (yet he demands schools to reopen fully in-person).

    He reluctantly admitted that face masks are useful.

    After four months of denial, he admitted again (like he did in March) that the virus will worsen before it improves.




    The Note: Trump falls behind country, as political realities set in
    The COVID-19 pandemic will continue to get worse before it gets better.

    The Note: Trump falls behind country, as political realities set in

    excerpt:

    "This week brought the belated acknowledgment from President Donald Trump that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to get worse before it gets better. That now means no convention next month in Jacksonville, after Trump moved his big party in the hopes of having the kind of massive gathering he now acknowledges cannot realistically happen.

    But as we approach 100 days out from the election, the race's dynamics are being driven by a more basic fact: The country has for months now known that the realities are far worse than the president has acknowledged -- and has been disinclined to take Trump at his word.

    Even now, as Trump pushes for schools to reopen, the new ABC News/Ipsos poll out Friday morning reveals a clear majority of Americans opposed to seeing their local public schools open for in-person instruction this fall. Trump appears to be backing off of his threats to cut off federal funding to schools that don't open."

    Live updates: Coronavirus deaths soar in Florida, Texas and California, as U.S. surpasses 4 million cases
    By Antonia Noori Farzan, Katie Shepherd, Jennifer Hassan, Adam Taylor, Kim Bellware, John Wagner, Herman Wong, Derek Hawkins and Hannah Denham
    July 24, 2020 at 9:19 a.m. EDT

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/24/coronavirus-covid-live-updates-us/

    excerpt:

    "As U.S. coronavirus cases surged past 4 million on Thursday, the number of daily covid-19-related deaths surpassed 1,000 for the third consecutive day. More than 500 of the fatalities were recorded in Florida, California and Texas, where the novel coronavirus is spreading at alarming rates. “What we have right now are essentially three New Yorks with these three major states,” White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx said, a reference to the earlier epicenter of the U.S. outbreak.

    With the virus spreading rapidly, President Trump abruptly canceled next month’s Republican National Convention events in Florida, a sign that his large, boisterous campaign rallies may be a thing of the past. The about-face is the latest reversal from Trump, who in the past week has begun enthusiastically promoting masks and acknowledging the gravity of the pandemic while conceding that schools may have to delay reopening."

    An article summarizing Trump's bankruptcies.


    Why Donald Trump's Companies Went Bankrupt
    Details About the 6 Trump Corporate Bankruptcies
    By Tom Murse
    Updated October 16, 2019

    The Details About the 6 Donald Trump Corporate Bankruptcies

    excerpt:

    "6 Corporate Bankruptcies

    Trump has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his companies six times. Three of the casino bankruptcies came during the recession of the early 1990s and the Gulf War, both of which contributed to hard times in Atlantic City, New Jersey's gambling facilities.

    He also entered a Manhattan hotel and two casino holding companies into bankruptcy.

    Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows companies to restructure or wipe away much of their debt to other companies, creditors, and shareholders while remaining in business but under the supervision of a bankruptcy court.

    Chapter 11 is often called "reorganization" because it allows the business to emerge from the process more efficient and on good terms with its creditors.

    Personal vs. Corporate Bankruptcy

    One point of clarification: Trump has never filed personal bankruptcy, only corporate bankruptcy related to some of his business interests.

    “I have never gone bankrupt,” Trump has said.

    Here is a look at the six Trump corporate bankruptcies. The details are a matter of public record and have been widely published by the news media and even discussed by the president himself."

    Pompeo has been doing the talk circuit lately, sounding like he is grooming himself for a presidential run in 2024.



    Opinion Mike Pompeo, Enemy of American Values
    As the Trump administration deploys unmarked police on the streets of Portland, its Secretary of State, eyeing a presidential run in 2024, gave a ‘pro-human rights’ speech that was actually a defense of the violation of human rights

    Mike Pompeo, enemy of American values | Opinion

    excerpt:

    "Desperately seeking to cling to the presidency despite cratering polls, a collapsing economy and the worst public health crisis in a century, Donald Trump has embraced a defense of the losers in the American Civil War as a central theme of his campaign.

    This, combined with 1980s-vintage commitment to deregulation and tax cuts for the wealthy, the racism of 1960s era governors from the Deep South, and tactics branding opponents as Marxists and anarchists that date to the middle of the last century and before — that is the totality of Trump’s platform. If a policy is both old and odious, he has embraced it."

    Mike Pompeo, enemy of American values | Opinion

    excerpt:

    "Pompeo’s serial defenses of those repressive regimes — like the one in Saudi Arabia or, for that matter, the increasingly anti-democratic coalition currently in power in Israel, itself a serial violator of the human rights of the Palestinian people — added another dimension of hypocrisy to the speech.

    Pompeo singled out Iran and China for criticism. But even there, he neglected to note his boss’ explicit approval ("exactly the right thing to do") of China’s expansion of concentration camps as reported by John Bolton in his book. (Not to mention Trump’s close relationship with the thug regime in Moscow.) Nor, of course, did he care to address America’s own establishment of concentration camps for immigrant families along our borders."

    When Obama was elected, his detractors said that it would cause race riots in the U.S. and even around the world.

    Trump bragged to Hannity on Fox about the mayor of Portland being tear-gassed.



    Trump brags about tear gassing Portland Mayor

    Trump brags about tear gassing Portland Mayor

    excerpt:

    "Wheeler also claimed that the city of Portland is under siege, and that Trump sent agents in for the sole purpose of causing chaos.

    “The president is using these federal forces as his own personal militia, I believe for the purpose of political grandstanding. He’s doing this.” Wheeler said. “He's creating the chaos in Democratically controlled cities so, ironically, he can point to the chaos and then say, ‘Look, those Democratically controlled cities are in chaos and I, and only I, can stop the chaos.’ I think this is abhorrent and it's a clear political stunt.”"

    Trump undermines new virus strategy by hiding experts and facts
    Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
    Updated 8:19 AM ET, Thu July 23, 2020

    Trump undermines new virus strategy by hiding experts and facts - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    ""I think it's probably a very concise way of doing it. It seems to be working out very well."

    Trump, however, went on to make misleading statements that would never have been uttered by a public health expert but that he seems to think are politically helpful. He blamed migrants from Mexico crossing the closed border for causing a spike in cases, along with young people attending anti-racism protests.

    The President also claimed that kids with strong immune systems don't bring the coronavirus home and that all schools can open in the fall. He did not provide any scientific evidence for the assertion or explain, for instance, why children who often pick up the flu and colds in class would not be at similar risk for transmitting the coronavirus."

    Trump might as well side with the British who lost the Revolutionary War.

    He has already sided with the Confederacy which lost the American civil war.

    He could also further side with the Russians because they lost the moon race.
