| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Source
Like the article quotes "What kind of president makes up “riots” in his own country?
In other words, after weeks of Trump rhetoric about dangerous Democratic “mobs,” the president believes it’s his supporters who’ve taken to the streets, violently lashing out at communities in California that disagree with the White House about immigration.
In reality, of course, the riots don’t exist.
The debate over so-called “sanctuary cities” is real, but enraged conservatives rioting in California appear to be limited to the president’s imagination."
Amazing Trump's ability to survive and be successful after behaviour that would have destroyed any other President. | | | | | He's just doing the thinking for the hard-of-thinking. Seems to work, especially if he sows thoughts in their heads that they like to think. Who cares about the truth? Nobody is going to fact-check something that resonates deeply with them and they want to believe it.
The new sweet-spot of politics. | This user would like to thank for this useful post: | |

I thought the liberals were supposed to be the violent ones | Quote: |  | | | White House condemns attempted attacks on Clintons, Obamas, after authorities intercepted potential explosive devices that had been mailed to their homes. | | | | | Source
This sort of thing will only get worse while Trump stokes divisions in the US.
No doubt Trump will condemn this immediately in the strongest terms | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

But we would view the situation very differently if we knew we were specific targets.
Maybe you would not have a different view if you found you were identified as a target?

Tom | | | | | More from CNN. Looks like a pipe bomb https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/24/p...qua/index.html
Bryan Paamann, an FBI special agent in charge of the counterterrorism division in New York, said the devices appeared to be pipe bombs. A law enforcement official told CNN that the initial examination of all of the devices shows them to be constructed similarly. At least one of the devices appeared to contain projectiles, including shards of glass. The devices are rudimentary but functional.

The Stock Market just reached an All-Time High during my Administration for the 102nd Time, a presidential record, by far, for less than two years. So much potential as Trade and Military Deals are completed.
3:04 PM - 3 Oct 2018 | | | | | When Trump posted this the Dow was at an all time high @ 26,773.
In the three weeks since the Dow has steadily fallen and collapsed today with a fall of over 600 to 24,583; now down 0.5% since 1st Jan, all this year's gains evaporated!
The S&P 500 sank more than 3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq plummeted more than 4% -- its worst daily drop since August 2011.
Which way the markets will go next is anybody's guess.
Corporate tax cuts pushing upwards, central bank interest rates and Trump's trade war pushing downwards while Trump's attacks on Iran & oil sales will likely hit local petrol prices and industry energy needs.
Trump needs a strong economy for success for the GOP and mid term elections |

No doubt Trump will condemn this immediately in the strongest terms  | | | | | As expected Trump did just about the bare minimum expected after the attempted attacks using improvised explosives on two of his predecessors and several other prominent political critics and the New York offices of CNN.
He did not mention the victims by name.
"We should not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property," Trump said, in a reference to liberal protests against GOP politicians. The media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories." Source
He again missed the opportunity to be Presidential and White House sources told CNN that Trump had made no attempt to reach out to the former commanders-in-chief after these assassination attempts.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Woooosh. | | | | | You class facts as outrage?  Everything marton said was a cold, hard fact, not an emotional diatribe. Was only discussing this last week with a friend who had just been on the 'terrorist risk' training meeting at his London workplace. His workplace is in the top 10 London risk locations. Every place that is on the risk list has such training for key staff members. I did it 13yrs ago when I was a site manager. No emotion. No outrage. It's just a fact of working life for many people.
Former high ranking politicians are always going to be targets. It's a fact of their lives.
However, the Times Warner building houses more than just the NYC offices of CNN, and I seriously don't see Robert De Niro's restaurant as a legitimate terrorist target. But was does Trump do? He fans the flames... What a freakin' eejit | This user would like to thank Blueangel for this useful post: | |

Interesting day today! | Quote: |  | | | The New York attorney general's office and lawyers for President Donald Trump's charitable foundation are set to face off in court today over the state's civil lawsuit that alleges the charity violated campaign finance laws and abused its tax-free status.
The suit alleges that the Donald J. Trump Foundation and its directors -- including Trump, his sons Eric and Donald Jr. and his daughter Ivanka -- violated federal and state charities law .
The investigation that led to the lawsuit found that the Board existed in name only and did not meet at any point after 1999. | | | | | Source
The New York AG has alleged that the Foundation’s board had not met for years, and that the “investigation found that the Foundation operated without any oversight by a functioning board of directors.
Decisions concerning the administration of the charitable assets entrusted to the care of the Foundation were made without adequate consideration or oversight and resulted in the misuse of charitable assets for the benefit of Donald J. Trump.”
The board of the Foundation was totally missing in action, to the point that individuals listed as members did not know they held that role.
With no functioning board, Donald Trump was able to personally direct the Foundation’s activities and appears to have used it as another source of funds to support his personal interests and presidential campaign.

and as it is nearly Friday | Quote: |  | | | Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
The so-called experts on Trump over at the New York Times wrote a long and boring article on my cellphone usage that is so incorrect I do not have time here to correct it. I only use Government Phones, and have only one seldom used government cell phone. Story is soooo wrong! | | | | | | Quote: |  | | | President Donald Trump continues to make calls via cell phone despite intelligence that China and Russia listen in.
It is claimed Trump refses to change his phones once a month as requested by his security advisors. | | | | | Source
Do not know whether to be more sorry for the Security people who have to protect this child or for the foreign spies that have to listen to his calls! | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |
