The guy is making money by going to Mar a lago every weekend to encourage visitors who pay to stay with him, and getting a break on trademarks from China after he agrees to the one China policy, and you think breaking the emoluments clause of the Constitution is an NPR fantasy? It's in plain sight. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...chaos_has_real_consequences_for_everyone.html "That it also distracts from the ongoing war against the environment, women’s rights, workers, and baby bears now taking place on Capitol Hill is just a cherry on top. Emoluments violations are piling up like beer cans on a frat house lawn. The media is made to attempt to chase down what may or may not be fake news because it may or may not be true. It is chaos." and "And finally, Spicer’s evade-then-berate act undermines the credibility of the press. That matters, too. Without the press acting as watchdogs, looting the public coffers and preying on the weak is exponentially simpler. The media loses by reporting the real story and getting chastised for it. And we all lose if the media doesn’t report the real story, because that lets the White House get away with mounting evidence of corruption, incompetence, and cruelty. And none of us can afford that." Ron
Do you mean like sending cash to Iran and Palestine? Maybe lifting an embargo with Cuba to help Cuba support a Russian spy ship? Perhaps sending weapons to Mexican drug lords, or commuting drug dealer sentences? ...You must mean releasing Gitmo detainees?
That money belonged to Iran from the beginning. It was held up by the Govt. for punitive reasons for years in the form of frozen assets. Obama in essence, returned Iran's money to them. Not a payoff. Now if you're OK with the USA stealing other countries' money, I can see being upset with the cash to Iran but lets not try to frame it as anything other than what it was for partisan purposes. Correction: The $1.7B payment was for military equipment Iran purchased before the revolution. The initial payment ($400m) was for the prisoner release. I would imagine the families of those released prisoners were good with the deal..
Hahahaha and you think giving "their" money back was a right and just decision by our president.. not to mention the circumstances behind which the money was "returned". Got it C. Hear no evil, see no evil... it's trump!!! Hysteria.
"May have received?" Cmon JV28.. Don't go all Kellyanne on us. Either the $33.6B was paid or it wasn't. Hell, that wasn't even an alternative fact.
The 1.7 was a enough for me... But 33.6 additionally is highway robbery of taxpayer money. All done in cash or in the latter case, possibly gold as well. Testimony before congress is a bad source? Got it. Truly, a crown achievement to hang your hat on. One expected of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Might as well just hand them a nuke.... or 20% of our uranium assets,,,, no wait that was completed by Clinton, under Obama. But Trump, hide your kids, hide your wife.
That's even more fake news JV.. You really must want a spot on Trump's progaganda wagon. Hillary did not hand over 20% of all american Uranium supplies. That's a consistent LIE put out by the Trump machine. More Alternative Truth JV. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/02/16/trump-claims--falsely--that-clinton-gave-russia-20-of-us-uranium.html Now if you want to continue Trump's tradition of lying at every turn feel free. One thing will always work against you and that is the truth. These days, any lie can be exposed with only a minimum amount of effort. Kellyanne found out the hard way. So has Trump and that's why he's terrified of the media. Spicey is simply a pawn in the game and really doesn't matter. Trump is only 4 weeks in and already setting records for lying and whining. He's started cracking from domestic pressures so just imagine when he's faced with a real crisis internationally. I hope they give Trump the "alternative launch codes" along with "alternative targeting" so we all don't wind up glowing in the dark because that mango manchild had a hissy fit and decided to strike back.
OK.. Before another alternative fact parade graces us, here's a link to a site that fact checks Herr Trumps' statements.. Feel free to consult but make sure you're not reading with "alternative glasses"... http://www.factcheck.org/2017/02/factchecking-trumps-news-conference/
Trump has trouble distinguishing between the truth and a lie. That's clear based on the many times he has said something and then contradicted himself within a short time period, let alone the times when he has denied saying something for which there is clear video evidence available on the record. The other people lying in his wake so to speak don't have that excuse. They're just doing the thing that they think curries the greatest amount of favor with the boss. I really think Trump is ill, and I'm not saying that in a derogatory way. He has many of the hallmarks of an elderly person beginning to lose touch with his ability to remember and to reason. If you look at even the outrageous stuff that he did in his 40's and 50's and then you look at what he did over the last few years there's a marked difference in his presentation and demeanor. He really does appear to be losing it and in a way that is very familiar to people who have worked with the elderly in a mental health capacity.
You can criticize every president's policies. How about Dubya starting a war over false intelligence? But I won't go there because those presidents were sane. Trump has real issues and the sooner his supporters come to terms with that the better off we'll be.
No he doesn't. He just doesn't give a crap. If it makes him look good or his enemies look bad, he's going to lie and say it's the truth. If it makes him look bad or his enemies good, he'll lie and say it's fake.
Yea, the New York Times is fake news https://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/04/...s-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html Pull the wool over.
Trump has an uphill battle against the media cronies and leftover shadow government.... the old globalist agenda. 4 weeks and so much accomplished in putting America first. You must not follow business or the markets. Pull the wool over.
The market rally is Obama's. Trump can't take credit for the economy when he hasn't gotten anything implemented. Except of course for an unconstitutional travel ban lol. This time eight years ago Obama was getting bills passed as the economy he inherited from Bush was collapsing. Trump got a way better deal coming in and all he and his supporters do is blame bogeymen for his ineptitude.
