Talk Like Trump

August 13, 2019

President Trump on Tuesday pulled back from the brink of
a dangerous escalation of his trade war with Beijing,
putting off until at least mid-December his plan to
impose new tariffs on tens of billions of dollars worth
of cellphones, laptop computers, toys, shoes and clothes
made in China.

Trump said he reconsidered the original Sept. 1 tariff start date
because of the potential effect on American consumers during
a critical shopping period. “We’re doing this for Christmas season,
just in case some of the tariffs would have an impact on U.S. customers,”
he told reporters Tuesday.

Trump Increases Tariffs on Chinese goods by 5 percentage points


Aug 23, 2019 5:16 PM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Escalating his trade war with China, President Donald Trump
bumped up his tariffs on Chinese imports Friday, lashing back
after Beijing raised taxes on U.S. products.

In a tweet, Trump said he would be raising planned tariffs on
$300 billion in Chinese goods from 10% to 15%. The Office
of the U.S. Trade Representative also said existing tariffs
on another $250 billion in Chinese imports would go from
25% to 30% Oct. 1 after receiving feedback from the public.

(Bloomberg) —

President Donald Trump said he’s raising tariffs further on Chinese imports
in response to Beijing’s retaliation earlier in the day, deepening the impasse
over the two nations’ trade policies.


"... a dramatic escalation in tensions between the U.S. and China after
months of failed talks to resolve their trade dispute. It’s unclear whether
negotiators will follow through with a plan to meet in Washington next
month as relations have continued to sour.

“China should not have put new Tariffs on 75 BILLION DOLLARS
of United States product (politically motivated!),” Trump said on Twitter.

Trump Is Melting Down Because China Won’t Give In on Trade

August 23, 2019

Trump wants Powell to aggressively, quickly, and smoothly
reduce interest rates to mitigate the economic harm Trump
is inflicting on the economy.

As Powell has pointed out, this is hard. “Because the most important
effects of monetary policy are felt with uncertain lags of a year or more,
the committee must attempt to look through what may be passing
developments and focus on things that seem likely to affect the
outlook over time or that pose a material risk of doing so,”
the Fed chairman said today. “But fitting trade-policy
uncertainty into this framework is a new challenge.”

Translation:

Monetary policy is always hard, but it’s really hard when the president is erratic.

Surely Trump won’t escalate the trade war to the point
where he tips his own economy into recession, right?

Is Trump Bored With Being President?

Trump seems more unstable than usual these days --
but maybe he's just restless and bored.

"...instead of becoming a recluse, he's combating the
existential emptiness by saying out loud every crazy
thing that pops into his head, or reaches him via Fox
or Twitter.

(Throughout his presidency, he's repeated whatever he
picked up on Fox or Twitter, but now he seems to do
nothing else.)

Maybe, this is the last season of the White House reality show.

FOX TV just co-opted the White House and has given Trumpypants a script to follow

(Trump bores his own audience at the Hate rally.
He cannot help himself.
His rants at the bedsides of mass murder survivors at the hospital
did not get a good reception. FFS, the doctors had to tell the public
that they did not leave patients cut open on the surgeon's table to
rush to Trump's side. Trump went too far. Obssessed with convincing
his core supporters that he was popular with the towns that suffered
collateral damage of his racist policies, he lied.

(CNN)When President Donald Trump was asked Wednesday
what victims of mass shootings are telling him about gun laws,
he did not answer directly. Instead, he boasted of "the love for me"
among the people he visited in hospitals in El Paso and Dayton after
the August massacres in those cities. "Not only did they meet with me,
they were pouring out of the room. The doctors were coming out of the
operating rooms. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all over
the floor," he said.

Once, again, the Trump mouthpieces come to the microphone
and tell the public about what Trump has tweeted, or said while

witnesses/ legitimate press/ major media outlets not bought by
Trump

1.) He was not serious, about what he said- He did not mean it,
the way that it was interpreted by the rest of the world, that exists
outside of the bubble of Trump Alternate World.

a.- It was a joke.

b.- What he said, is not what he meant.
Let the Trump Alliance tell you what to think.

c.- The helicopters were too loud.
He misunderstood the question.

d.- He never said that! The press lied!

e.- He had a brain fart, and made a mistake.

f.- That was an example of his sarcasm.

g.- There were too many questions asked.
He answered one of them, but was confused.

h.- An aide wrote it. They were wrong.
He got it from the interwebs. They were wrong.
Someone told him. They were wrong.
He remembered it wrong. Not his fault.

i.- We blame the press! He was misquoted!
 
Donald Trump has sown confusion about Hurricane Dorian,
repeatedly wrongly claiming that Alabama was set to be hit
by the storm and that he had -

“never even heard of a category 5 storm”,

despite having said the same thing at least four times previously.

Despite their clarification, (that Alabama was not included)
Trump repeated the claim (about Alabama) at his press
conference later.

1 Sep 2019

“I have – not sure –
I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a category 5,”
said Trump.

“I knew it existed. And I’ve seen some category 4s; you don’t
even see them that much. But a category 5 is something that
I don’t know that I’ve even heard the term other than I know
it’s there. That’s the ultimate. And that’s what we have,
unfortunately.”

But, as observant viewers were quick to point out, this is a line
he has trotted out before. There are at least four other occasions –
including as recently as May – that he said he was astonished
to discover category 5 hurricanes existed.

Georgia and Florida to reach Alabama. And, according to a

website, ABC News did play the entirety of the president’s
incorrect claim that Alabama stood a chance of being impacted
by the path of Hurricane Dorian.

Donald Trump is so incompetent that even his insults backfire.

On Wednesday the president tweeted an instantly iconic photo
of Nancy Pelosi reprimanding him during a meeting on Syria.
“Nervous Nancy’s unhinged meltdown!” he wrote.

Pelosi looked like the most powerful person in the room.

The Pelosi/Trump photo immediately went viral. And for good reason –
the picture doesn’t just show a particular moment between two politicians,
it’s a perfect snapshot of the patriarchy.

I doubt there’s a woman in the world who hasn’t had her strength rebranded
as “aggression”, “bossiness”, or “hysteria”. Calling women “crazy” or
“unhinged” in order to put them in their place is something men have
been doing for centuries.

Is Colorado Going to Get Its Wall After All?

- Patricia Calhoun

Trump had said this at a speech at an energy conference in Pittsburgh:
"We're building a wall on the border of New Mexico. And we're building
a wall in Colorado...a big one that really works — you can't get over, you
can't get under."

Will Hayden himself had proposed this late last year, in a GoFundMe
spoof urging residents of this state to make Colorado great again by
building a wall around it. And now here was the (Presiderp) suggesting
the same thing...or at least suggesting building a wall across Colorado,
even though the southernmost part of this state is almost 500 miles
from the Mexican border.

when he launched his own build-the-wall campaign
on December 28, he included this:

Here in Colorado we are being accosted by outsiders jacking up our rent,
smoking our weed and using our preciously fracked energy. We need a
WALL around Colorado to stop people from entering. In addition,
I promise to use these funds to attempt to force out anyone who has
moved here in the last 10 years in an effort to
MAKE COLORADO GREAT AGAIN!!!

I am reading Trump's speech, but it is garbled-
What is the message that Trump is trying to convey ?

Is it that his call to President Volodymyr Zelensky was a joke ?
That he was not serious ?

Trump is serious about having Volodymyr Zelensky construct dirt on
the Bidens that is not real. It is part of Trump's repertoire to quote un-
qualified sites in order to tell lies about others. FFS sake, he invited the
malicious site clowns into the White House. Having the head of another
country providing mis-information for him to use as ammunition against
Biden, would be icing on the mini-series cake.)

Was former Lt. Gov. André Bauer (R-SC) trying to tell the
USA that Trump was joking about investigating Hunter Biden ?


“I don’t think it’s a quid pro quo … Trump to me said it in a jovial manner,
look, you all ought to investigate this guy, his son’s making $50,000 a month,”
said Bauer.

“Jovial manner?” repeated Blackwell. “How did you get jovial out

Ukraine is a thorn in Trump's ass cheek

Supporting Ukraine with weapons and support is not a good deal for Trump.

Trump’s entire national security Cabinet unanimously supported it.

Trump hesitated. “He kept saying it . . . wasn’t worth pissing off Russia
and what a bad country Ukraine was,” said the former senior
White House official.

Trump told his top advisers that “everyone” was telling him not to do it
because it would anger Russia, the former official said. In fact, his entire
team was advising the opposite. After months of delay, Trump approved
the sale of the weapons in December 2017.

Others wondered whether the president’s disdain had to do with his
well-known dislike of all U.S. foreign aid.

This was the impulse that led him to see what he could squeeze out
of the Ukrainians in exchange for an Oval Office meeting, officials
said.

“The whole episode is sadly unsurprising,” said a senior U.S. official familiar
with U.S. policy on Ukraine. “It’s the epitome of impulsive, self-serving
decision-making at the top that has undermined American power.”

His skepticism and dislike of Ukraine, though, did not abate but,
if anything, seemed to deepen over time, U.S. officials said.

Or, in this case, keep quiet about talk, like Trump

Merry Christmas, from Putin!

Vladimir Putin called Donald Trump for a chummy holiday season
catch-up Sunday, thanking him for intelligence that had helped prevent
terror attacks on Russian soil, according to the Kremlin.

During the call, which was initiated by Russia, Putin thanked Trump
for “information transmitted through the channels of U.S. special services
that has helped thwart terrorist acts in Russia,” the Kremlin said in a statement.

The statement gave no further information about the plot that purportedly
had been disrupted. But Russian government news agency TASS, citing
a source from the Federal Security Service (FSB) intelligence agency,
reported that two Russian citizens were arrested on Friday based on
intelligence provided by the U.S.

The pair were suspected of planning an attack in St Petersburg
during New Year’s Eve celebrations, according to the report.

Trump spent just under an hour at his private golf club in West Palm Beach
before returning to his Mar-a-Lago resort home in nearby Palm Beach.
He had spent nearly six hours at his golf club on each of the previous
two days.

A visit to the omelette bar, for breakfast/brunch,
and the motorcade took him back to Mar-A- Lago
 
President Donald Trump falsely claimed that one of his “greatest honors”
was helping pass a veterans health bill, which was actually authored by
the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and
signed into law by former President Barack Obama.

“One of my greatest honors was to have gotten CHOICE approved
for our great Veterans,” Trump incorrectly claimed in New Year’s
Eve tweet. “Others have tried for decades, and failed!”

Trump has been lying about Veterans Choice since 2018,
falsely claiming he was the one who got it passed.
His rendition on May 30, along with a similar claim
in March, might have been the most egregious.
"I disagree with John McCain on the way he handled the vets,
because I said you got to get Choice. He was never able to get
Choice. I got Choice," Trump told reporters.

This was a double lie. In addition to taking his usual unearned credit
for a program that President Barack Obama signed into law in 2014,
Trump used his non-accomplishment as a cudgel against a deceased
foe whose accomplishment it really was. McCain, in fact, was a key
author of the Choice bill.

What Trump signed in 2018 was the VA MISSION Act, a law that
expanded and modified the Choice program. The full name of the
VA MISSION Act honors McCain: it is the John S. McCain III,
Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal
Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018.

on 57 occasions, Trump falsely claimed that he signed the
Veterans Choice health-care program into law, at times touting
his ability to overcome a 45-year effort to pass it.

“They’ve been working on that one for 45 years; we got it passed,”
Trump said last August. “I’m good at getting things passed.”

The program was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2014.

Meanwhile, Presiderp minions are expressing their joy-" har har har,
MAGA triggers the libs."

Do they forget that John McCain cared about veterans ?
 
Listening to Presiderp speak, today.

(Drugged with sedatives, is my guess.)

Trump glitches in the middle of some rant about criminals
and you can hear a Fox News host laughing at him on a hot mic.

They'll never admit it publicly, but behind closed doors
and off the air, they all laugh because they know he's a
fucking clown.

Attacking Democrats, Trump says, "Look at what's happening to their cities."
An interesting "their."

Rudy calls Bolton a "backstabber" as Trump gaslights New Jersey

A hot mic picked up the unmistakable sound of giggles
on Fox News as the network abruptly cut away from P
resident Donald Trump while he stumbled over his words
during a New Jersey re-election rally.

During the 7:00 hour of its Tuesday night broadcast, the network
had pre-empted The Story with Martha MacCallum to show parts
of Trump’s rally in Wildwood, New Jersey. During a portion where
he talked about his restrictionist immigration policies, the president
again attacked Democrats for supporting sanctuary cities in the face
of widespread deportations. And as he began to specifically target t
he opposition party, Trump, reading off a TelePrompTer, appeared t
o badly mangle the word “criminal” before simply abandoning the
sentence.

“No American should ever be hurt, harmed, or killed because
left-wing politicians, Democrats, decided shield and shelter
crimin-cle — look, look, wait,” Trump said.

At that point, the audio feed of the broadcast clearly picked up
the sound of laughter over a live microphone, suggesting the
giggles came from somewhere in the Fox studio rather than
ambient noise at the rally.

I saw this clip, the one described above, and at the moment where trump stumbled in his speaking he give this weird shoulder and neck spasm, it was as though his brain had reset itself. Worrying! Can't help but wonder just how stable, or unstable, he is.
It's not the first time it's happened either. There have been several of these instances over the last few years.

Trump pollutes Super Bowl Sunday with politics

Trump's legal team and other Republicans have repeatedly
highlighted the "coup has started" tweet from a lawyer for
the whistleblower -- while omitting the tweet it was replying
to.

Here is the context.

The Hannity-Trump interview has started airing.
Hannity begins by talking about impeachment
and asking, "Your reaction to all of it."

Trump says it is all unfair, as was the Russia investigation --
to "my family" and other families.

23 hours ago

Mike Bloomberg’s campaign says there is no basis
for Trump’s claim -
which Trump made both on Twitter and rather angrily
in his Super Bowl interview with Hannity -

that Bloomberg is trying to get a box to stand on at debates.

During the entire history if Lit, no one has been treated more unfairly than me. I reach across the aisle to encourage unity and all I get in return is sarcasm and insults.

The president himself has pushed back against guidance around masks, calling them
a personal choice.

In an interview with political news outlet Axios released on Friday night, he was asked
if he recommended rally attendees wear facial coverings.

"I recommend people do what they want," he replied.

Mr Trump also said: "We're going to have a wild evening tomorrow night at Oklahoma."

“Well, I want to remind you again that the freedom of speech and the right to peacefully
assemble is enshrined in the constitution of the United States,” Pence replied in between
long pauses. “Even in a health crisis, the American people don’t forfeit our constitutional
rights.”

In Texas, bar owners sued on Monday to try to overturn Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s
order closing their businesses. They contend Abbott doesn’t have the authority, and they
complained that other businesses, such as nail salons and tattoo studios, remain open.

“Gov. Abbott continues to act like a king,” said Jared Woodfill, attorney for the bar owners
“Abbott is unilaterally destroying our economy and trampling on our constitutional rights.”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that Abbott is on the right path, and he added that Trump
should order the wearing of masks.

“States that were recalcitrant ... are doing a 180, and you have the same states now wearing
masks,” Cuomo said. “Let the president have the same sense to do that as an executive
order, and then let the president lead by example and let the president put a mask on it,
because we know it works.”
