[SEVERUSMAX]

Most of the GOP will come around to Trump, sad to say. That's an indictment of them if there ever was one. To be so desperate to win back the White House that you'd openly embrace a xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, nativist, protectionist religious bigot who advocates public violence, torture, and wholesale massacres....not to mention disrespects veterans, POWs, the disabled....and really has no plan for this nation, not at all....yeah, a real statement of how much low cunning the GOP has truly embraced now at the expense of its soul and the good opinion of posterity.

History will never forgive them for this betrayal of Abraham Lincoln's legacy.

Trump tells British Prime Minister Cameron “I’m not stupid, okay?”

In an interview scheduled to air Monday with Piers Morgan, the Republican candidate for president is already talking about his foreign relations before general election ballots have even been cast. Despite past comments from Cameron calling Trump “stupid, divisive and wrong,” Trump thinks they’ll have a great relationship, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“It looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship. Who knows! I hope to have a good relationship with him but it sounds like he’s not willing to address the problem either,” Trump said in the interview.

“Well, number one I’m not stupid, Okay. I can tell you that, right now – just the opposite. Number two, in terms of divisive: I don’t think I’m a divisive person. I’m a unifier, unlike our president now (referring to President Barack Obama), I’m a unifier,” Trump continued.

Yes he is a unifier, of small minded RWNJ's.

Obama slams Donald Trump in Rutgers commencement speech: ‘Ignorance is not a virtue’

According to a White House transcript of the speech, Obama explained, “Facts, evidence, reason, logic, an understanding of science: These are good things. These are qualities you want in people making policy. … That might seem obvious. … We traditionally have valued those things, but if you’re listening to today’s political debate, you might wonder where this strain of anti-intellectualism came from.”

Obama continued, “When our leaders express a disdain for facts, when they’re not held accountable for repeating falsehoods and just making stuff up, when actual experts are dismissed as elitists, then we’ve got a problem.”

Donald Trump claimed income of more than $557 million over the last year, though the campaign provided few details on the sources of the money.

Trump’s statement says the $557 million in income “does not include dividends, interest, capital gains, rents and royalties.”

The news release said Trump’s net worth has increased since his last financial disclosure, a 92-page document that he filed in July 2015. “As of this date, Mr. Trump’s net worth is in excess of $10 billion dollars,” the release said.

And he says the economy is a disaster?

Boston's 70 year old Bill Weld had a particularly pointed reference when asked about Donald Trump’s plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.

“I can hear the glass crunching on Kristallnacht in the ghettos of Warsaw and Vienna when I hear that, honest."

A little waffle ?

"I don't consider myself part of the Never Trump movement."

Bill Weld, Running as a Libertarian, Likens Donald Trump’s Immigration Plan to Kristallnacht

William F. Weld, the twice-elected former Republican governor of Massachusetts, who was last seen campaigning in the 2006 Republican primary for governor of New York, now hopes to be on a national ticket as the vice-presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party.

And he is already on the attack.

In his first interview since accepting an invitation to be the running mate of former Gov. Gary Johnson of New Mexico, Mr. Weld assailed Donald J. Trump over his call to round up and deport the 11 million immigrants in the country illegally.

Asked if he believed Mr. Trump was a fascist, Mr. Weld demurred. “My Kristallnacht analogy does evoke the Nazi period in Germany,” he said. “And that’s what I’m worried about: a slippery slope.”

After a circuitous answer, he eventually came to a conclusion. “No, I wouldn’t call Mr. Trump either a fascist or a Nazi,” Mr. Weld said. “I’m just saying, we got to watch it when we get exclusionary about people on account of their status as a member of a group."

The Libertarian Party will hold its nominating convention on Memorial Day weekend in Orlando. While Johnson is favored to win the party’s nomination, according to NBC News, it is expected to be a close race against 70-year-old computer programmer John McAfee.

Vets blast ‘fraud’ Trump over claim he raised $6 million: ‘His mouth writes checks no one can cash’

A veterans’ advocacy group weighed in on the Washington Post’s Saturday revelation that GOP candidate Donald Trump did not, as he claimed, raise $6 million for veterans at a January fundraiser.

According to the Post, Trump skipped out on a GOP debate in January and instead held a fundraiser for veterans. Afterward, Trump had boasted about the event’s success, saying “We just cracked $6 million, right? Six million.”

Actually, Trump only raised about 75 percent of that, with the total coming in at about $4.5 million, his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, admitted.

“There were some individuals who he’d spoken to, who were going to write large checks, [who] for whatever reason . . . didn’t do it,” Lewandowski told the Post. “I can’t tell you who.”

In response, VoteVets, which describes itself as the largest progressive veterans group in America, called Trump a “cheap fraud.”

And how much was received by the Vet groups?

 

[Sean Renaud]

I hate trump as much as the next guy but did anybody else earn 4.5 million for vets? (I don't think that was a valid reason not to go to a debate.)

 

[NOIRTRASH]

How many of the VET groups are legit?

When I worked at the psych hospital most of the Vets who walked thru the door had never served. The VA hospitals know.

Both Trump and Clinton face favorability problem

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and business mogul Donald Trump are tied in the battleground state of Virginia, a Roanoke College poll released Monday states. The poll found that while support for the presumptive nominees was split, both candidates suffered from low favorability ratings.

Both the likely Democratic nominee and the presumptive Republican saw 38 percent of support among those surveyed. Just 30 percent of people polled had a favorable view of Clinton, and 50 percent had an unfavorable view. Ratings of Trump were even lower, however, with 23 percent of likely voters surveyed saying they had a favorable view of him and 56 percent saying their view of the real estate mogul was unfavorable.

Trump and Clinton are looking to pivot to the general election as they close in on their nominations. Following the suspension of the campaigns of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Trump is the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party, barring a brokered convention.

Trump unifies the GOP by viciously trashing New Mexico’s Republican governor

A lot of political observers assumed that Donald Trump would take on a more “presidential” tone once he clinched the Republican nomination for president. So far, those assumptions have turned out to be very, very wrong.

In his latest offense, Trump decided to fire up the crowd at a campaign rally in Albuquerque by taking shots at New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who just happens to be a Republican.

“Since 2000, the number of people on food stamps in New Mexico has tripled,” Trump said in making his case against Martinez. “We have to get your governor to get going, she’s gotta do a better job. Your governor has got to do a better job. She’s not doing the job. Hey, maybe I’ll run for governor of New Mexico, I’ll get this place going!”

Trump then ripped Martinez for allowing Syrian refugees to be resettled in New Mexico, even though he acknowledged that governors don’t really have a choice about whether their state will accept refugees since it’s the federal government’s call.

“They say governors have no choice, if I’m governor, I have a choice, believe me,” Trump boasted.

"Donald, they said you had to become a uniter not an igniter!"

Trump plans to target Clinton over Whitewater
In an email obtained by POLITICO, the Trump campaign asks the RNC to research the scandal

Hope Hicks, who Caputo copied on his request to the RNC, accidentally responded instead to Marc Caputo, a POLITICO reporter who is not related to the Republican consultant.

Hicks, in her errant email, attempted to warn Michael Caputo, not to directly contact the RNC researcher, Michael Abboud, with research requests. But Hicks’ email suggested the researcher may soon be joining the campaign team, which has mostly lacked a robust in-house research operation.

“He is still an employee of the RNC and we need to be sensitive to that until he comes over to our team full time,” Hicks wrote in the email accidentally sent to Marc Caputo.

About 20 minutes later, Hicks realized her error and sent a separate email to the reporter with the subject line “Wrong email, obviously!” The body of the email had one word: “Apologies.”

Asked for further comment, Hicks didn’t respond.

Caught fibbing, Trump scrambles to address veterans controversy

The Washington Post reported this week that Trump’s claims simply weren’t true. He did not, for example, raise $6 million. And what about the $1 million check the Republican bragged about? His campaign manager insisted this week that Trump did make the contribution.

Except, that wasn’t true, either. The Post reported last night:

Almost four months after promising $1 million of his own money to veterans’ causes, Donald Trump moved to fulfill that pledge Monday evening – promising the entire sum to a single charity as he came under intense media scrutiny.

The check is apparently going to a group called the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, whose chairman received a call from Trump on Monday night, the day the campaign controversy broke.

Let’s put aside, for now, why the Trump campaign said he’d made a donation that did not exist. Let’s instead ask why it took nearly four months for the candidate to do what he claimed to have already done.

Don't fuck with people who know how to use the media, Donald. Most Vets know about psy-warfare and aren't afraid to use it.

Got that right... From all of that time staring at goats (that are each smarter than Trump & anyone who actually votes for him).

Trump pledged $1 million to help veterans.
Trump tried to weasel out of it for months and hoped no one would notice.
When Trump finally got caught, he ponied up grudgingly and insulted the reporter who caught him.


$1 million is one ten-thousandth of Trump's claimed wealth.

The average American household has a net worth of about $50,000.

One ten-thousandth of that is $5.

In terms of its effect on his personal finances, what Trump did was the equivalent of promising five bucks to a homeless vet and then trying to weasel out of it.

Trump says he would exit global climate accord, slash US oil regulation

onald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said on Thursday that he would pull the United States out of the U.N. global climate accord and slash environmental regulations on the energy industry if elected.

The comments deepen the contrast between the New York billionaire and his Democratic rivals for the White House, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who both advocate a sharp turn toward renewable energy technology as a way to combat climate change.

“We’re going to cancel the Paris climate agreement,” Trump said at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismark, the capital of North Dakota, the second largest U.S. oil-producing state. It was Trump’s first speech detailing the energy policies he would advance from the White House.

Trump said he would invite TransCanada to reapply to build the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to the United States, reversing a decision by the administration of President Barack Obama to block the project over environmental concerns.

“I want it built, but I want a piece of the profits,” Trump said. “That’s how we’re going to make our country rich again.”

Serial pandering is what Trump does best!

NOTHING is what Trump does best!

That final word implies he does anything well, which is BS!!

He may have his name on half of NYC, but at least people who own most companies/eateries, etc. have worked some at the lower levels... Trump passes his immigration laws (walls & all), & there will be as many people doing those jobs as the # of times he's done any of them.
