This should be easy to clear up: Either the president of U.S. Steel tipped market-moving information to the president of the United States, or he did not. Interestingly, the securities markets have not reacted to the president's disclosure; U.S. Steel's stock fell the day after Trump made his comments about six new facilities, and it has continued to decline.
A recent Gallup poll showed that, at the 500 days mark, Trump was the second most popular US president among his own constituency. How is that possible?
The mess of American electoral system well put:
After explaining that the vast majority of Americans do not support Trump, and that he was elected with almost 3 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton – because the United States is the only “democratic” country in the world where a person with fewer votes can win the presidency – I bring them the really bad news: if things continue this way, Trump will be comfortably re-elected in 2020.
Of course, the main reason for Trump’s re-election, as well as his election, is the dysfunctional political practice and system of the United States. Like in other western democracies, the white majority is overrepresented because minorities vote at much lower levels. However, unlike in most other democracies, various types of old and new acts of voter suppression actively discourage the electoral participation of non-white minorities. On top of that, gerrymandering further strengthens the disproportionate power of the white electorate, particularly in the conservative rural areas of the individual states and the country as a whole.
This does not look as it will change in the near future.
2016:
During an interview with televangelist Pat Robertson that aired on the Monday morning edition of The 700 Club, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed that his opponent Hillary Clinton favors killing unborn children just days before delivery.
“According to the rules of Hillary you can take the baby at nine months, and you can imagine what you have to do to that baby to get it out,” Trump said. “A day prior to birth you can take the baby, and I said it’s unacceptable.”

Donald Trump has claimed Democrats want to see "all police" abolished, in an early morning Twitter rant defending US law enforcement.
The president said the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), under fire in recent months over its aggressive targeting of illegal immigrants, was doing a "fantastic job" of removing "the worst criminal elements".
Everybody can safely ignore this; it comes from anonymous and untrustworthy Deep State operatives in the US intelligence community. On the other hand President Bogus trusts and has a very special bond with Supreme Leader Kim; we can rest assured that Kim would never renege on an agreement with the very smart master of the Art of the Deal.
U.S. intelligence agencies believe that North Korea has increased its production of fuel for nuclear weapons at multiple secret sites in recent months — and that Kim Jong Un may try to hide those facilities as he seeks more concessions in nuclear talks with the Trump administration, U.S. officials told NBC News.
The intelligence assessment, which has not previously been reported, seems to counter the sentiments expressed by President Donald Trump, who tweeted after his historic June 12 summit with Kim that "there was no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea."
Analysts at the CIA and other intelligence agencies don't see it that way, according to more than a dozen American officials who are familiar with their assessments and spoke on the condition of anonymity. They see a regime positioning itself to extract every concession it can from the Trump administration — while clinging to nuclear weapons it believes are essential to survival.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Well, "Suckered in Singapore" has such an ugly ring to it, and anyway, it's a success if you can spin it as one to the rubes.
