President Trump, Week 15

Here's this week's LONG list of moronic behavior coming from President Trump, and his White House, for the week beginning 2 PM Friday, April 28th to 2 PM Friday, May 5th.  This is likely not all of the Trump team's transgressions, but it's most of them.

Once again, the reason I'm posting this list is because if the letter next to President's name was a 'D' instead of and 'R', this entire list would've AT LEAST warranted a stern, condemning press conference.  The majority of these infractions would've justified immediate Congressional hearings, and more than a few of these would've been the catalyst to begin impeachment proceedings.  But who are we kidding?  If a Democrat had the same list of incompetence Trump had by the end of week 2, Republicans would've thrown them out of office in February, and that's a fact.

Air sickness bags are conveniently located in the pouch in front of you!  Let's begin...

• Sebastian Gorka, the White House National Security Aide with ties to the Hungarian Nazi lovers Vitézi Rend, has become persona non grata.  The White House is trying to remove him from the Administration and move him to a different government department.  He's been excluded from day to day meetings and was described as a "pain in the ass"
• Former President Obama takes a jab at Trump, reminding him ObamaCare/ACA is currently far more popular than he is
  
• Attorney General Jeff Session states prosecuting undocumented workers will lower the crime rates, something proven to be completely false
• At a rally of NRA members, head of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, clearly rallies the angry crowd up against the Jewish people, while Trump repeatedly calls Senator Elizabeth Warren the undeniably racists term "Pocahontas"
• A United Kingdom spy report, the Steele Dossier, shows the Trump Campaign in 2016 paid the Russian hackers who hacked into the DNC/Clinton camp computers, while the same hackers were taking direct orders from Vladimir Putin.  In August/September of 2016, four Trump Campaign representatives went to Prague to hammer out secret discussions with representatives from the Kremlin, discussing directly how to pay the hackers who broke into the Democratic computers.  This is validated with 16 memos which were confirmed by Russian sources
  
• A Trump supporter terrorizes Transylvania University in Pennsylvania.  He confronted students and asked if they were a Democrat or a Republican.  If they said Republican, he let them go.  If they said Democrat, he attacked them with a machete.  No condemnation of the attack from the White House
• Trump guts funding for the Department of Labor's, Bureau of International Labor Affairs, an organization which fights child labor, human trafficking and slavery around the globe
• North Korea ignores Trump's warnings again and fires another test missile
• The former head of a clearly racist anti-Immigration group, Julie Kirchner, is set to be named by Trump as the Ombudsman to US Citizenship and Immigration Services
• Trump Administration allows far-right and alt-right media special access to the White House Press Room, where they are allowed to take photos flashing white power hand gestures, the modified 'OK' sign, repeatedly

• Jeff Sessions reverses course on police reform initiatives by reversing track on the reform efforts in Chicago
• Trump has invited Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte to the White House for an official visit.  The dictator/strongman is known for violently cracking down on his own citizens, bragging he's killed some of his own citizens himself
• While the White House Correspondence Dinner goes on without Trump, Trump has a campaign stop in Pennsylvania where he rails against the Correspondence Dinner as 'fake news'
  
• Former Republican Presidential Adviser David Gergen calls Trump's Pennsylvania Campaign speech one of the "most divisive ever," adding you usually leave the campaign rhetoric on the campaign trail, not take it into the White House

• Hundreds of thousands of protesters descended upon the National Mall, with tens of thousands more at other events across the country, for the third weekend in a row of major protests.  This time it was the People's Climate March, where they wanted Trump to stop pandering to fossil fuel companies and start fighting climate change.  Trump ran away to coal country to avoid the protesters
  
• The EPA removes more references to scientifically proven climate change from their website
• Trump insists the fake media won't report on his extensive list of 100 Days accomplishments, but he himself offers no list of accomplishments

• Trump is revisiting Loyalty Day, a made up patriotism holiday first made popular in the 1950's under McCarthyism.  Trump implies people should honor Trump as part of their celebration
  
• Think Progress' Ryan Koronwski wonderfully details 80 Trump promises he's broken in his first 100 Days (https://thinkprogress.org/donald-trumps-100-days-of-broken-promises-a4c116bbb2b4).  I included this because if you put that together with 20 days of golfing...well there you go!
• Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer says he's tried repeatedly to talk to Trump about major issues, but Trump purposely changes the subject
• Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, on ABC's This Week, says the White House has researched changing the 1st Amendment so Trump can sue the press.  No hints on how they plan on doing that
• Trump insists his constant travel, to Mar-A-Lago and other locations, is actually a cost cutting move because he's not staying in New York City.  One might point out he could just stay at the White House, which is already paid for
  
• A report out says Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka, a man linked directly to the Hungarian Nazi group Vitézi Rend, will finally be leaving the White House
• Even though there is copious evidence (which we know about) directly linking Trump's presidential campaign to the Russians, and the Russian's attempt at hacking the election, Trump, on CBS' Face the Nation, insists his campaign/Administration "had nothing to do with this, and everyone knows it"
• Trump insits Russia was not responsible for the election hacking of the Democratic Party/Hillary Clinton
• Trump calls North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un a "smart cookie."  He is neither
  
• As Trump is inviting Philippines President and Evil Dictator Rodrigo Duterte to the White House for an official visit, it should be noted there's a brand new Trump Tower in Manila, and First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump is prominently featured in the building's new advertising campaign
• Reince Priebus claims Trump's stance on NATO didn't change, but rather NATO changed.  He refuses to explain how exactly NATO changed

• Trump gleefully stops Michelle Obama's 'Let Girls Learn' Program, a program which fostered education opportunities in developing countries
• Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announces a discontinuation of Michelle Obama's healthy school lunch initiative, a program despised by Republicans.  For the record, rates for childhood obesity decreased during the Obama Administration, and the Trump plan seems to be harking back to lunches of pizza, cheeseburgers and ketchup as a vegetable
  
• During the Face the Nation interview from Sunday, Trump brought up his allegation former President Obama wiretapped him.  When John Dickerson asked a follow up question, Trump ended the interview, pointed at the door to imply the interview was over and to get out.  Trump then went back to his desk and pretending to look at a stack of papers until Dickerson left
• Trump's appointee to oversee the Federal Family Planning Program for Low-Income Americans, Teresa Manning, is an anti-abortion extremist who doesn't believe in contraception
• Trump is pushing for another vote on Trumpcare, with the only real change being the Administration seems to be strong arming Republicans with threats of primary challenges if they don't vote with him
• Trump guarantees Trumpcare will cover preexisting conditions, but then says it will be a state decision, which is far from a guarantee
• Trump implies Andrew Jackson, if he were President, would've prevented the Civil War.  Putting aside the fact Jackson was long dead before the Civil War, Jackson was a horrible racist.  Jackson would've been pro slavery, so the likely difference would've been the US being the southern states and the north would've rebelled to leave the union
  
• Trump on Fox News talking about North Korea, "Nobody's safe, I mean, who's safe?  We're probably not safe."  Such a calming voice
  
• Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross described the April 6th airstrike on Syria as "after dinner entertainment" for Trump and his guests at Mar-A-Lago.  "...it didn't cost [Trump] anything to have that entertainment."
• Trump's re-election campaign has spent $274,000 to rent space in Trump's office building for the first 3 months of his term, even though there are less than 2 dozen employees on his entire re-election payroll as of today

• New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed a bill that would require presidential candidates, even ones currently holding an office, to release their tax returns in order to run for election/re-election in the state of New Jersey
• Trump reaffirms that Mexico will pay for the border wall between the US and Mexico.  For the record, they will not

• Rick Perry, the Secretary of Energy, is pushing for a study to determine if renewable energy is threatening the power reliability of the nation's power grid, in turn hurting coal and nuclear power plants...no seriously
• Sean Spicer says there is "no belief" Sebastian Gorka is leaving the White House "at this time"
  
• Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin drew cackles and laughter when he suggested to a conference room of financiers that should thank HIM for the surging Wall Street stocks.  He was not joking, and an uproarious laughter can be heard from the room
• Trump gets his seventh Goldman Sachs cabinet position member, as former Goldman Sachs lawyer Jay Clayton is confirmed as the chairman of the Security and Exchange Commission.  Reminder: Trump accused Hillary Clinton of being too close to Goldman Sachs to be President
  
• It appears Trumpcare is in trouble again, as there are serious questions on whether there are enough Republican votes to pass it, even with the Administration openly threatening any GOP'er who dares not vote for the bill
• Desiree Fairooz, an activist with Code Pink, is actually being charged for laughing out loud during the Jeff Sessions Attorney General confirmation hearings.  She laughed when Republican Senator Richard Shelby stated Sessions had a record of "treating all Americans equally under the law..." (irony!)  For the record, that's a very laughable statement, but prosecutors seem to be intent on charging Desiree
• Congress seems to smack Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the face, in regards to his attempts to reign in state marijuana laws.  They included the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment in the budget bill which allows states to continue with crafting their own medical marijuana laws without Federal interference
• After the latest series of television interviews, numerous people are starting to question the mental state of Trump, saying he seems "incoherent" and 'confused"

• Trump supporters assaulted May Day protesters in New York and Los Angeles, with intent to do physical harm.  Once again, after Trump and the Administration demanded all Democrats apologize for one incident in January where some alleged leftists attacked a pro-Trump rally in Berkeley, no one in the Trump Administration has condemned the Trump supporters instigated violence

• Senior Advisor and First Son-in-Law Jared Kushner failed to mention on his Federal government financial disclosure forms the paltry sum of one billion dollars in loans he received, as well as the fact he's the part owner of a real estate finance start up called Cadre.  The Cadre stake means he's in partnership with...wait for it...Goldman Sachs
• Trump now says a shutdown of the US Government is necessary to fix the "mess" in the Republican controlled Congress.  He says the Senate, with their filibuster rules, is the problem, implying shutting down the Government will be a way to solve that
• Trump doubles down on his fractured history, and broken historical view, by insisting 'no really Andrew Jackson would have prevented the Civil War.'  At least Trump now is aware Jackson was dead a decade and a half before the Civil War...

• Senator Al Franken, during a Senate committee hearing where DOJ lawyers were being questioned about hate crimes, pressed a lawyer to answer if he thought Steve Bannon's presence, a man who has expressed a lot of hateful things in his life, within the White House was making hate crimes increase in America.  The lawyer refused to answer

• It's reported the White House is looking to exit the Paris Agreement on Climate Change as early as next week
• In a weird story, First Lady Melania Trump on her official Twitter account liked a tweet which implied she approved of how the public perceives how her relationship with her husband is strained.  The tweet uses the gif from the Inauguration where Melania's face turned sad and despondent immediately after Trump turned away from her

• According to media reports, former acting Attorney General Sally Yates is going to tell Congress she very specifically warned the Trump White House about former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, specifically saying she warned White House Counsel Don McGahn in January that Flynn was lying.  This directly contradicts the White House's claims they never knew
• Trump's promise that anyone who worked on his transition team would not be allowed to be lobbyists is completely untrue, as 9, NINE of his former transition team members have registered as lobbyists within three months after he took office, and numerous others are acting as lobbyists even though they haven't registered as such
  
• A Texas based 'think' tank, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, an organization with ties to Trump, has asked the EPA to reconsider whether greenhouse gases are a problem.  I guess we could ask Venus if they were a problem for their planet

• Vice President Pence says Trump is serious about moving the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move which would undoubtedly infuriate Arabs in the region, purposely and unnecessarily

• Vice President Pence proudly bragged about the White House staffing itself with anti-abortion zealots by saying "life is winning." Well as long as you don't count wealthy people abortions which the GOP will never outlaw, and the death penalty, gun violence, wars, and people dying of lack of basic necessities like food, water and shelter, because they were labeled 'lazy moochers' by Christian politicians.  Outside of all those things, I guess...

• By a 217 to 213 margin, House Republicans pass the Trumpcare financial portion of repeal and replace, a move which will undoubtedly kill many children and adults by making healthcare too expensive for the vast majority of Americans.  The Republicans then had a kegger in the US House to celebrate...no seriously, they started drinking beer on the House floor afterwards

On MY!

I want to point out the hate mail/comments I'm getting from Trump heads who hate me with the fire of a million suns.  They're furious I'm posting this list.  They're not upset about the list of factual things the Trump Administration has done, something any rational, intelligent person with integrity would surely condemn at this point.  Nope!  They're mad because I'm just putting this list together and posting it.  Whenever I ask what they disagree with, stating I can offer them a link to the story they question, they either misspell swear words at me, or threaten to kill me.

SNOWFLAKES!

Their reaction is what keeps me doing this...
