All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

Another tax cut for the rich planned. Only congress won't pass it in the Trump 2021 era.

Trump Tweets

“Face It, You Probably Got A Tax Cut!” This was a New York Times headline, and it is very true. If Republicans take back the House, and keep the Senate and Presidency, one of our first acts will be to approve a major middle income Tax Cut! Democrats only want to raise your taxes!

Just had lunch with French President @EmmanuelMacron. Many good things are happening for both of our countries. Big weekend with other world leaders!

“Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA.”

It’s unclear what legal authority Trump would be able to use to compel U.S. companies to close operations in China or stop sourcing products from the country. Experts said he could invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (1977) used in the past for sanctions on Iran and North Korea, or cut offending companies out of federal procurement contracts..

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce rebuffed Trump’s call, urging “continued, constructive engagement.”

“Time is of the essence. We do not want to see a further deterioration of U.S.-China relations,” Myron Brilliant, executive vice president and head of the business group’s international affairs, said in a statement.

Trump also said he was ordering shippers including FedEx (FDX.N). Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), UPS (UPS.N) and the U.S. Postal Service to search out and refuse all deliveries of the opioid fentanyl to the United States.

It is the job of customs and DEA to track opiates. FedEx is not going to find packages with "fenatnyl" as the contents on the paper.

FedEx could employ people with a certain familiarity with opiates.

Newsweek
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) this week sent a morning news briefing to all immigration court employees across America that contained a link to a blog post from a white nationalist website filled with anti-Semitic references.

The National Association of Immigration Judges (NAIJ) sent a letter to James McHenry, director of the DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), on Thursday alerting him to a recent "EOIR Morning Briefing" email that contained a "pseudo-anonymous source whose values and statements are in contradiction" with the department's standards and legal principles.

"The August 19, 2019 morning news briefing contained 'news' from a website known for publishing white nationalist ideology and Anti-Semitic tropes," Ashley Tabaddor, NAIJ's president wrote, adding that numerous judges across the country have since complained about the "offensive" blog.

The EOIR morning briefing is distributed to all employees on a daily basis, including all 440 immigration judges across the U.S., according to Market Watch.

The post was from VDare, according to Tabaddor, a "website that supports white nationalism and has been found to be a 'hate website.'" VDare's founder Peter Brimelow has previously been linked to Richard Spencer, a American neo-Nazi and white supremacist. Brimelow was also quoted saying in 2017 that "Hispanics do specialize in rape, particularly for children. They're prone to it, compared to other groups."

Tabaddor also pointed out that the name VDare was derived from Virginia Dare, who became an important symbol for white nationalists after becoming the first English child to be born in North America.

I bet Donald Trump's rubbish products are still being made in China.

The federal gov't for its own use has banned Chinese products years ago. I know someone who deals with the gov't for office machines. He sources the very same copy machines but made in Japan, for a higher price. These Washington will take.

Japan will buy our GMO Roundup corn:
WASHINGTON – President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced Sunday that the two countries had agreed to the framework of a trade deal.

“We’ve been working on a deal with Japan for a long time. And we’ve agreed in principle,” Trump said, adding that the deal would amount to “billions and billions of dollars.”

Japan, Trump said, agreed to buy excess corn from American farmers.

“With regard to the potential purchase of American corn, in Japan we are now experiencing insect pests on some agricultural products,” Abe explained to the White House pool, using a translator. “And there is a need for us to buy some of the agricultural products.”

He would have his security as chaperone if he is abroad...
