All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

[Sean Hayden]

They don't even know their own god. I pointed out to someone recently that it's unwise to claim god is on your side, to which they replied, "god is on my side, because I asked him to be".....lost causes

[Brian Peacock]

God, like Trump, is a post hoc justification for doing what you were going to do anyway.

From the Melania book:
If her husband loses the presidency at the November 3 election, "she'll be in the south of France on a really big yacht with a really big brim hat doing what she's always wanted to do: nothing".

In her view, the first lady's apparent aloofness and superficiality is a way of avoiding scrutiny. "By remaining mysterious, by keeping up that steel wall, she doesn't have to answer to anyone. To make her human, and to make her feel, would mean opening herself up for criticism," Wolkoff says.

"Melania looks unapologetically, authentically skin-deep... The reality is she is not unhappy, she is complicit."

The former White House insider says the relationship between Melania Trump and her stepdaughter Ivanka is genuinely strained, with the two rarely sitting down to talk face-to-face. She says the Trump presidency has been fundamentally altered for the worse by the ambitions of Ivanka and Kushner, who is also a special adviser to his father-in-law.

"Melania has been usurped by Ivanka. It's a very fair assessment to say that Ivanka and Jared's need to have control of the office and initiatives has won.

"That entire new ring of power is pretty much hidden from the rest of the world. I don't think our country would be in such peril today if Donald actually was president and he didn't have the two of them there with him. I think it was the worst thing that could have happened for our country."

Trump would love nothing more than for his daughter to become president, Wolkoff says. "The fact that he's literally getting Ivanka ready to become a president and already putting that in people's minds is sick, is just insane. And it can happen."

White folks finally see Trump is just talk, no jobs?

The Justice Department announced Monday that New York City, Seattle and Portland would be designated as jurisdictions "permitting violence and destruction of property" under President Trump 's early-September order requiring federal agencies to submit potential funding cuts for cities "permitting anarchy."

Fuck the DOJ. This is pure campaigning for Trump.

[Sean Hayden]

...I'm not worried about funding cuts. It's the nerve of these fuckers to openly use the DOJ to prop up a campaign narrative....politics as usual I guess.

Of course it is, not to mention the "fill this seat" hullaballoo where he proposes to do exactly what he forbade Obama to, and closer to the election too...

That's just how these types think. They can't seem to figure out that it just begets more of the same from others, so that the supposed --good end-- through nefarious means never materializes. The smartest probably do realize it, and are content to take the personal gain from here to there...

Hey, let's use the power of the US government to strong-arm some corporations for a windfall! Then let's put it into a national propaganda program. We're going to need some funding for indoctrination of the Trumpenjugend, after all.

'Trump wants the TikTok deal to pour $5 billion into 'real history' education. It's not that simple'

President Donald Trump is adamant that a tentative deal involving short-form video app TikTok will include a $5 billion fund to "educate people" about the "real history of our country."

That appears to have taken TikTok's Chinese parent company ByteDance by surprise, and created even more confusion about how the finer points of an already complicated deal will work in practice.

...

As part of the deal, Trump said he asked the companies to "do me a favor" by putting "$5 billion into a fund for education, so we can educate people as to [the] real history of our country — the real history, not the fake history."

This isn't the first time Trump has floated the idea that a TikTok deal should include some kind of monetary reward for the US government. He previously expressed a desire for the companies involved with the deal to give money to the US Treasury, but last week said he was surprised when he was told such an arrangement would be illegal.

Trump's latest remarks have done little to clarify how an education fund would work, creating even more confusion.

Imagine the outrage if China insisted on the same for US companies doing business there.

[pErvinalia]

They kind of do in regards to IP. And Trump has expressed outrage at this.
