Trump explicitly told Ingraham that he was delaying
the sacred ceremony—which included hundreds of
veterans who helped turn back the spread of Hitler’s
violent fascism—in order to talk to Fox News viewers.

“These people are so amazing, and what they don’t
realize is that, I’m holding them up because of this
interview. But that’s because it’s you,” Trump said,
relishing his own petty display of power.

After airing the pre-taped interview on her program
Thursday night, The Ingraham Angle host wanted
her viewers to know that regardless of what the
(Feckless Cunt #1 Goon) had just said in the
segment they’d watched, it was not true that
he held up the ceremony.

“By the way, some of you may have heard or read
that President Trump supposedly held up the entire
D-Day ceremony in order to do this interview with me,”
Ingraham exclaimed. “That is patently false. Fake news.”

The Best Words!

7 Jun 2019

Trump’s declaration shocked many space enthusiasts, because the moon has not traditionally been regarded as part of Mars.

The leading theory is that a collision between Earth and a planet-sized entity, many years ago, resulted in debris that eventually became the moon. On average Mars is 140m miles from the moon. Nasa did not immediately respond to a question from the Guardian asking if the moon is part of Mars.

Irrespective of whether the moon is part of Mars (it isn’t), Trump’s announcement was doubly surprising given his previous enthusiasm for a moon trip. His criticism of Nasa for “talking about going to the moon” came just three weeks after Trump championed the idea of a lunar visit.

On 13 May Trump said in a tweet: “We are going back to the moon,” while in March Nasa administrator Jim Bridenstine, who was appointed by Trump, announced plans to send US astronauts to the moon by 2024. In October Mike Pence, the vice-president, said: “Our determination is to see Americans back on the moon in the very near future.”

There is a possibility ​Trump’s tweet was a comment on Nasa’s broader plan to eventually travel to Mars from the moon, but either way it soon emerged that Trump’s moon reversal may have been provoked by the Fox Business TV channel.​ One hour before the president offered his take on the moon’s origin and his criticism of Nasa, Fox guest Neil Cavuto had expressed scepticism over a moon trip.

Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto at around
12:30 pm. EST said NASA is "refocusing on the moon,
the next sort of quest, if you will, but didn't we do this
moon thing quite a few decades ago?" according to a
clip shared by a senior fellow with the liberal watchdog
Media Matters for America.

Just over an hour later, Trump, an avid watcher of Fox News
and Fox Business programs, tweeted, very similarly to Cavuto,
"For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be
talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago."

Trump claims undisclosed component to US-Mexico migrant deal, Mexico contradicts him

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...eal/story?id=63603874&cid=social_twitter_abcn

 

[bodysong]

signatures and typed text

What is it ?
A Post photographer snapped an image of Trump’s alleged secret Mexico deal.

The Post’s Jabin Botsford, snapped an image that reveals
some of the document’s contents. That image allows us to
glean some clues.

It is signed by two people, that we can see, but neither of
these signatures are from the countries’ respective presidents,
top diplomats or ambassadors to the other country. They appear
to belong to Marik A. String, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary
of State for Political-Military Affairs, and Alejandro Celorio Alcantara,
a deputy legal adviser in Mexico’s foreign ministry.

The big question is what’s in the part above what we can see
and how much force it carries. It seems unlikely, given there
is only one-third of a sheet of paper above that first visible
paragraph, that there are extensive guidelines for what the
deal entails. The lack of signatures from heads of state is
also curious, given the gravity of the topic. But there appears
to be enough of an agreement that Mexico would immediately
be put in the position of trying to implement it -- subject, i
mportantly, to “domestic and international legal obligations”
-- rather than engage in further negotiations.

"I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening," Mr. Trump said. "If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said,] 'We have information on your opponent' — Oh, I think I'd want to hear it."

"It's not an interference. They have information — I think I'd take it," Trump said.

One day after President Donald Trump said he would entertain the idea of accepting dirt on his political rivals from foreign nations, Federal Election Commission Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub released a statement Thursday making it clear that candidates for public office cannot accept assistance of any such kind.

"I would not have thought that I needed to say this," Weintraub said in a statement, which she posted to Twitter.

https://www.salon.com/2019/06/14/am...l-for-trump-to-accept-foreign-dirt-on-rivals/

What Trump said was that “there isn’t anything wrong with listening” and “If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI. If I thought there was something wrong.” So he’d “maybe” go to the FBI, but also, the FBI director is “wrong” in saying such instances should definitely be reported to the FBI.

Trump made a half-hearted pass at walking back the remarks on a friendly Fox News show, promising he would contact the FBI if he thought any of the foreign dirt provided to him "was incorrect or badly stated."

Daily Kos

It must be the fault of our lyin' ears!

Trump continued in his mangled syntax: “Nobody’s gonna present me with anything bad, and No. 2, if I was — and of course, you have to look at it, because if you don’t look at it, you won’t know it’s bad, but, of course, you give it to the FBI or report it to attorney general or somebody like that.” He added: "But of course you do that — you couldn’t have that happen with our country, and everybody understands that and I thought it was made clear.” No, it wasn’t “made clear.”

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has unveiled a
new settlement in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights,
named after US President Donald Trump.

Mr Netanyahu’s Cabinet convened in the tiny hamlet to
inaugurate the settlement, named after Mr Trump in a
gesture of appreciation for the president’s recognition
of Israeli sovereignty over the territory.

The settlement, currently known as Bruchim, is over
30-years-old and has a population of 10 people.

Zvi Hauser, an opposition lawmaker who formerly served as
Mr Netanyahu’s Cabinet secretary, called Sunday’s ceremony
a cheap PR stunt.

“There’s no funding, no planning, no location, and there’s
no real binding decision,” he said.

https://www.independent.ie/world-news/israel-rebrands-golan-settlement-trump-heights-38224066.html

In April, its international edition (which is distinct from its
US edition) ran a syndicated cartoon by the Portuguese
cartoonist António Moreira Antunes that depicted the
Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as a guide
dog leading a blind Donald Trump wearing a yarmulke.

It was widely condemned as antisemitic. The NYT
published a long apology and decided to end all
syndicated cartoons. On Monday, it announced
that it was dropping all cartoons, syndicated and
in-house, from its international edition.
The newspaper did not deny that the decision was
linked to the furore over antisemitism, but insisted
that it wanted to bring the international edition in line
with the US edition, which abandoned political cartoons
some time ago.

“It’s absolutely beautiful,” said U.S. Ambassador David Friedman,
who attended Sunday’s ceremony. Noting that Trump celebrated his
birthday on Friday, he said: “I can’t think of a more appropriate and
a more beautiful birthday present.”

Israel builds Trump a Potemkin village

-Dana Milbank

June 19 at 7:19 PM


Under terms of the proposal, President Trump agrees that Israel
gets whatever it wants: all of Jerusalem, all of the Golan Heights,
West Bank, Gaza — you name it. In exchange, Israel agrees to
name a village after Trump.

And not even a real village. More like a sign marking where a
village might be. Someday.

This was a shrewd move by Netanyahu, who correctly recognized
that Trump can be bought with just a bit of ego-stroking.

No substantive concessions necessary!

North Korea’s dictator sends Trump love letters and is allowed
to keep his nuclear program. Saudi Arabia spends millions of
dollars at Trump properties and is allowed to buy U.S. weapons
and to murder a Post contributing columnist.
Japan’s prime minister nominates Trump for a Nobel Prize and
is largely spared in the trade war.

Netanyahu had better hurry, lest others out-flatter him.
I hear China is already negotiating an agreement under
which the United States would import all Chinese goods
tariff-free in exchange for China naming a section of its
Great Wall the Donald J. Trump Great Wall of China.
And Iran has already floated a plan under which the
United States would allow it to develop nuclear weapons.
In exchange, Tehran’s landmark structure, Milad Tower,
would be renamed Trump Tower.

Donald Trump made 84 false claims last week

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/21/politics/fact-check-trump-84-false-claims-last-week/index.html

August 21, 2019

The most egregious false claim: Google and the election

Trump has found various excuses including imaginary voter fraud
for why he did not win the popular vote in the 2016 election.
This time, he said his victory would have been bigger if Google
had not "manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for
Hillary Clinton."

This claim was based on a highly flawed study that Trump
described inaccurately.

(study by psychologist Robert Epstein)

Facts First: Epstein himself says Trump was wrong about his findings.
Epstein did find "bias" in Google search results, but he says there is
no evidence Google "manipulated" the results to favor Clinton.
Also, critics of the study note that there is no definitive link between
search results and voting behavior in presidential elections.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/19/politics/trump-google-manipulated-votes-claim/index.html

Mystery- Why did Trump Lie About the Time ?

During his energy speech on Tuesday, Trump looked at the crowd
and said: "That's a lot of people back there for a --
like an 11 o'clock speech. That's a lot of people."

We don't know if he was lying or just confused, but it was
not 11 o'clock. He made the comment at about 2:40 p.m.
The speech was scheduled for 2:10 p.m.

This was perhaps Trump's dig at the Union employees at Shell
forced to listen to Trump bloviate, against their will. They were
forced to wait around for him. They missed lunch, because of him.
They were under a company gag order that forbid them from "resisiting"
and ordered them to smile and be enthusiastic, The threat was that they
would suffer penalties for not cooperating. Like getting cut off the list
that would give prefered workers access to highly paid jobs.)

Trumpypants attempts to deflect about emoluments violation reports

Whattabout Obama!

Obamas received their book deal in 2017, while out of office.
The Constitution's emoluments clause is about payments

Payments to Greenland

Trumpypants claims that-
"It's hurting Denmark very badly because they're losing almost
$700 million a year carrying it. So they carry it at a great loss." --
August 18 exchange with reporters

Facts First: Denmark's annual subsidy to Greenland, an autonomous
territory of Denmark, is for less than $600 million.

According to a representative from Greenland's Ministry of Finance,
Head of Division Anders Fonnesbech-Wulff, the grant for 2019 is
expected to amount to 3.86 billion Danish kroner (DKK), which
is approximately $573 million. The amount has increased slightly
over the years, from $547 million (3.68 billion DKK) in 2016 to
$553 million (3.72 billion DKK) in 2017 to $568 million
(3.82 billion DKK) in 2018. All US dollar amounts are based
on the Tuesday exchange rate.

How About Those Glorious Tariff Results ?

"Import prices down, China eating Tariffs." --
August 18 tweet

"We are taking in billions of dollars in tariffs. And again,
China is devaluing their currency, they're pouring out money,
the prices haven't gone up. So that means we are taking in billions
of dollars, we are not paying for it and ultimately their devaluations
are going to hurt them very badly." -- August 15 campaign rally in
Manchester, New Hampshire

Trump twice admitted that his tariffs hurt American companies, and consumers

Facts First:
American importers make the actual tariff payments, and economic studies
have found that Americans, not people and companies in China, have borne
most of the cost. This same week, Trump acknowledged at least the possibility
that tariffs on China might hurt US consumers when he delayed planned
additional tariffs until December 15. Peter Navarro, his trade adviser,
described the move as a "Christmas present to the nation."


"US Steel now, all of them -- they're all expanding.
The steel industry is back, it's doing great." --
August 15 campaign rally in Manchester, New Hampshire


Facts First:
We give Trump broad leeway to claim that the industry is doing well,
but US Steel is not currently expanding. It announced in June that it
would idle two of its blast furnaces in the US, one in Indiana and
one in Michigan, plus another furnace in Europe.

US Steel revealed the week after Trump spoke-
that it would temporarily lay off 200 workers at the Michigan facility.
Though the company has been profitable since Trump imposed his
