President Trump, Week 37

Here's your weekly list of incompetency coming from President Trump, and his White House, for the week beginning Monday, September 25th, to Sunday, October 1st.  This is likely not all of the Trump team's transgressions, but it's most of them.

The reminder: if a Democratic President and Administration had done any of these things, Republicans would've AT LEAST held a scornful news conference.  Many of these points would've automatically triggered official Congressional investigations, some would've lead to special prosecutors, and, WITHOUT A DOUBT, some would've lead to gleeful Republicans calling for impeachment proceedings to begin.  Instead, most Republicans, who knowingly ordered this 'all you can eat' crap sandwich fest, continue to silently bite into their meal.  They could stop eating at any moment, but instead they, as it dribbles down their chin, reluctantly take another bite of something they know isn't edible, digestible or consumable.

Get ready to feast!  It's a full buffet this week!

• The fallout from Trump's decision to condemn the NFL and all athletes who protest racial inequity in America by kneeling during the National Anthem continues.  Kansas City's quarterback Alex Smith pointed out Trump refused to condemn violent neo-Nazis, but instead attacked black athletes
• One of the few legitimate celebrities to support Trump, New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady, was very critical of Trump's attacking of the NFL players for their peaceful protest
  
• A right wing, pro Trump 'Free Speech Week' which was supposed to occur at UC Berkeley, and was to feature many far right Trump champions, has been exposed as a farce.  At the last second, the organizers stated there had been some scheduling mistakes and so the 'week' was to become a rally on Sunday, which was to last all day, but was ended after 20 minutes when the organizers fled. What the organizers didn't explain was there seems to have been zero intent to hold a week of events.  The entire exercise was to just try to catch UC Berkeley trying to stop their freedom of speech, but when a sincere UC Berkeley went out of their way to ensure the far right event was to happen, the organizers, not anticipating holding an actual rally, panicked and ran away.  The lack of intent was exposed via emails from one of the organizers to UC Berkeley, emails which have been made public
  
• North Korea has told their citizens that Trump has declared war on their country
• White House staffers, desperate to find a silver lining in these Tump clouds, point out at least Trump's fight with the NFL won't start a nuclear war
  
• Trump retweets a tweet on Twitter about how former NFL player Pat Tillman left the sport, joined the US Army and was "...killed in action in 2004."  Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire, likely from a mentally unstable US Army soldier, not "in action."  Tillman's widow is also anti-Trump, and has asked him to stop referencing her husband
• It's been revealed that Former White House Advisor Steve Bannon, prior to joining Trump's campaign, conspired with a GOP staffer, Chris Gacek, to infiltrate Facebook, and install a pro Trump content manger there to ensure anything pro Trump could be posted there without being removed, regardless of factual accuracy
  
• Possibly the most popular American athlete of all time, the NBA's Michael Jordan, condemned Trump's anti protesting comments
• A loyal Trump Republican, Louisiana State Representative Kenny Havard, is calling for $400 million in tax payer funding to be stripped from the NFL's New Orleans Saints, solely to punish the team for their players peacefully protesting, following Trump's lead
• A tape of an old episode of The Howard Stern Show with Trump comes to light, and in it Trump admits to liking to grope First Lady Melania in public (Family Values!), and he acknowledges his compulsive hand washing "could be a psychological problem."
  
• In an attempt to save the 'circling the bowl' Trumpcare bill, Graham-Cassidy, new revisions are being proposed.  They're now acknowledging they won't have protection for preexisting conditions, and instead will funnel the money for that to specific states in an attempt to bribe Senators into supporting it
• NASCAR, a sport which proudly features insane displays of the Confederate Flag, a flag of an anti-USA uprising, has backed up Trump, stating they will not tolerate any protesting the National Anthem by anyone.  Almost immediately, one of their most popular racers, Dale Earnhardt Jr, stood by the protesting athletes pointing out all they're doing is peacefully protesting
  
• The Mayor of London England, Sadiq Khan, insist Trump should not be offered a formal British State Visit, insisting to do so would be rewarding behavior from Trump which he says mimics the behavior of ISIS
• It's pointed out while Trump is fixated on trying to destroy the NFL if they don't bend to his will, he's purposely ignoring a massive humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico, where millions of people still have no water or power, and a major dam is on the verge of collapsing, all due to Hurricane Maria which hit their country over a week ago.  Puerto Rico is BEGGING Trump for help
  
• Senator John McCain stated that Trump never once apologized for his incredibly insensitive, and anti-soldier, 'captured' insults
• First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump is the latest Trump Administration official being caught using personal technology, in this case an email account, to conduct government business...you remember, the thing the Right in this country said, 11 months ago, was an instant dis-qualifier in regards to working for the government 
  
• Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House Press Secretary insisted Trump referring to any other human being as a "son of a b*tch" was "absolutely appropriate" for a president, insisting his colorful language is just protecting the flag, a flag that was never under attack, but rather being viewed from a different angle
  
• Huckabee Sanders then told a whopper on Monday.  She claimed the NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem weren't actually protesting racism.  The whole point of the protest was to highlight the mistreatment of African Americans in this country
• Huckabee Sanders was clearly upset when asked in her press conference whether Trump thought if any of those who kneeled on Sunday were "very fine people", or were they all SOB's?"

• The owner of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, defied Trump and went and took a knee with the entire team before their Monday night game
• Trump has released a new series of countries he's including on his travel ban list and there's a bit of a shocker in one of them.  The central African country of Chad is now on the list.  Chad has been a staunch ally of the US, a major player in the regional flight against Boko Haram.  The government of Chad is baffled by the inclusion, and many foreign policy experts are wondering if Chad was accidentally included in the ban, as "it makes no sense whatsoever."  No word on Nambia's fate...
  
• In case you are keeping track at home, so far, in 9 months of being in the White House, the following 6 senior level staff members have ALL been caught using non-governmental technology for communication, something they themselves, 11 months ago, called an offense that justified immediate firing of them from government service:  White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, Former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, Dir.  of the National Economic Council Gary Cohn, Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller, and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump.  The ones who are no longer with the White House were NOT removed because of these violations.  It should also be mentioned Trump continues to use his private, unsecured cell phone for daily conversations
  
• Trump tweeted about a Iranian missile launch which never happened.  He was confused by Iranian stock footage
• Donald Trump Jr. (Tweedle Dee) is now back under Secret Service protection, after throwing his protection unit out last week, thinking they were the cause of the leaks
• Trump BFF Roger Stone absolutely rejects the idea that Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russians.  This was part of a 47 page opening statement he submitted before a closed door hearing with the House.  Apparently he hasn't seen the evidence clearly showing collusion happened
• At a private dinner which looked like a scene from Dr. Evil, Trump hosted a dinner with the leaders of the far right conservative institutions of America.  During his talk, Trump went after Attorney General Jeff Sessions for appointing Special Council Robert Mueller to investigate Trump/Russia, comments which were described as "dripping with venom."  He also told the Legion of Doom his war with the NFL is "really taken off" and he feels like he's winning that exchange
  
• Even Trump supporters are now very publicly asking what the heck is going on in Trump's mind as he continues to attack the NFL while going out of his way to ignore the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico
  
• Trump FINALLY acknowledged the crisis in Puerto Rico, but in such a jerk way.  He first ripped on the country for not having proper infrastructure prior to the Hurricane, then sated how the Puerto Rican debt crisis needed to be addressed first, before saying food, water and medicine are being dispatched to the devastated region
  
• Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is now part of a large vocal group of people in the Administration insisting Trump's Twitter comments are not to be listened to, that the US is committed to a diplomatic solution on the Korean Peninsula 
• Trump's claim the NFL ratings are "way down" isn't true, as the ratings for September 24th show a dramatic increase in viewers for the pre game shows, and when factoring online streaming, NFL's ratings are the same as they've ever been
• CNN reported a disagreement between Trump and Chief of Staff John Kelly in regards to his war with the NFL. Trump flew off the handle after the report, on Twitter, claiming the report to be a total lie
• Hillary Clinton, Democratic challenger to Trump in 2016, called out the unbelievable hypocrisy of the Trump Administration for their own staffers, including his daughter and son in law, using private electronics for communications, something Trump insisted was a disqualifying action, in regards to consideration for working in the government
  
• Senator Lindsey Graham defended fellow Senator John McCain on his vote against Graham's own bill, the Graham-Cassidy version of Trumpcare, stating McCain, as opposed to how Trump thinks the world is supposed to work, has earned the right to vote however he wants to

• In a stunning report, Dictator Kim Jung-Un is apparently asking for assistance from a Republican Party foreign policy expert to help decipher Trump's constant rage tweets agains him and his country.  The crazy Jung-Un doesn't even understand Trump
• As Trump seems to have finally figured out he has a responsibility to Puerto Rico, he insists the US is giving them an A+ response, but then says "it's an island, in an ocean, a big ocean, a very big ocean."
• In another stunning setback to a Trump/Republican initiative which was supposed to be passed on Day 1 of Trump's Presidency, the latest version of Trumpcare, the Graham-Cassidy bill, has been pulled from the floor, as they don't have the 50 votes needed to move the bill forward.  This makes the Sept. 30th deadline for Trumpcare passage for the fiscal year very unlikely
  
• Trump, after receiving copious criticism for his lack of any action on hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico until recently, insisted he has time for his unnecessary and unimportant war with the NFL, admitting, "I have plenty of time on my hands and all I do is work." First off, wha??? Second, how many golf days has he had, including last weekend...
• It should be mentioned Trumps made these comments when he having a joint press conference with the Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.  He then went on to defend his hammering of NFL athletes

• The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford, has urged Trump to not follow through with his promise to kick transgender service members out of the military
• The Internal Revenue Service is now sharing information with Robert Mueller's investigation.  The information being shared is in regards to Trump's aides, primarily Former Campaign Chair Paul Manafort

• Trump now thinks his Senate candidate in Alabama, Luther Strange, will lose his primary bid and is now trying to gauge the damage this has done to his political clout
  
• Nick Akerman, an Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor, explained that Trump BFF Roger Stone lied at least three times during his testimony today.  1) He lied about having knowledge that John Podesta's emails were hacked, 2) he lied about his relationship with the hacker Guccifer 2.0, and then 3) he lied about his communications with Wikileaks head Julian Assange.  He added, 'you have to ask yourself what the heck he was doing being in contact with the entities behind the hacking and leaking of the DNC emails.'  That's a pretty big coincidence

• Trump's tax breaks for the wealthiest people will be paid for by raising the tax rates for the lowest income earners in the US, from 10% to 12%.  Reminder, this is so he can give billionaires tax cuts 
• Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke had a wild address to a Washington DC crowd.  He said the Department of the Interior was shifting towards a new relationship with the fossil fuel industries, where they viewed them more as "partners."  He went on to add how members of the fish and wildlife service hated fossil fuel people (with good reason) but how he was bringing them around. He then made the mysterious comment of how "he's got 30% of the crew [employees of the Interior Department] that's not loyal to the flag.  It's like capturing a prize ship at sea and only the captain and first mate roll over."  O....kay....
  
• Energy Secretary Rick Perry also addressed the same Washington DC crowd.  He stated the Trump Administration wants to let oil and gas drill...without federal government standing in the way." "We're going to free you from regulatory restraint, regulatory burden."
  
• Roy Moore, the crass, homophobic, Alabama judge, wins the Alabama Republican Primary, dealing a blow to Trump who backed his opponent Luther Strange

• Trump is dragging Jamaican runner Usain Bolt into his unnecessary and ill advised NFL fight.  Trump is pointing out that in 2012, as he was being interviewed during the London Olympics, Bolt stopped an interview to honor the National Anthem.  The response from the Jamaican Running Federation was immediate:  "leave us out of your 'poli-tricks'."
  
• Trump not only was busy dragging Jamaican runners into his personal fight this morning, he also had time to hit the 'delete' key a few times. Trump has been deleting his tweets of support for Luther Strange in the Alabama Senate GOP primary.  This would technically be deleting Presidential Records
  
• Taxpayers are paying for a soundproof communications booth in the office of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt at a cost of $25,000.  There already is a secret soundproof communications room in the EPA, but Pruitt calls that one inferior because it's on a different floor of the building
  
• Russian funded Facebook ads were not only targeted to help Trump (the primary recipient of help), but they also ran ads for Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein, a clear sign their main goal was to defeat Hillary Clinton

• Trump is trying to use the Pittsburgh Penguins NHL team as a pawn.  After the debacle with the Golden State Warriors, the Penguins, the Stanley Cup Champs, announced they were still planning on going to the White House, but respected many points of view and political ideologies.  Trump is using them as a political pawn to taunt the sports teams and leagues who are boycotting him
• Trump is ending a US program which allowed children fleeing violence in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to apply for refugee status before leaving their country
  
• HHS Secretary Price and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin are not the only Trump officials spending tax payer dollars on their flights.  EPA Chief Scott Pruitt spent $14,000 on a flight to Oklahoma recently.  Reminder, he used to be a fiscal conservative, preaching about tightening budgets (see earlier story on his cone of silence he's building himself)
• Trump, when asked why his latest travel ban didn't include Sudan, a country he'd previously insisted was a dangerous country, gave an incredibly non-sensical answer which never explained his rationale 
• Trump, explaining the reason his Trumpcare bill failed again in the Senate, told the tale of a mythical Republican Senator who was unable to vote, because they were receiving medical treatment at a hospital.  Skipping past the boldface lie Trump said to make himself feel like he's a winner, let me see if I got this correctly: your made up excuse for not being able to take away everyone's healthcare was because someone was getting government healthcare...okay
  
• So far Trump's tax proposal would break 6 of his campaign promises he made about standing up for the middle class

• Dutch filmmakers who've been releasing well researched documentaries about Trump have exposed Trump's mob ties, and their connection to a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme, money laundering which netted Trump himself a billion dollars.  The questionable contacts are intertwined within Trump's real estate empire, and would be a very legitimate reason for someone to refuse releasing their tax returns
• Donald Trump Jr. (Tweedle Dee) ditched his secret service escort, and flew, at tax payer expense, to northern Canada to hunt moose
  
• Even though many Republicans are encouraging Trump to let the fight with the NFL go, Trump showed up on Fox & Friends again to viciously attack the NFL for using their Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Protest in a manner he doesn't approve of.  He insisted the owners are afraid of their players
• One of the craziest things about the Trump tax plan is how it banks on an unprecedented level of US economic growth to pay for it.  It's gambling, and we've seen how much Trump sucks at gambling.  White House Economic Advisor Gary Cohn insist the US GDP growth will be an astronomical 3%, hence their tax plan makes sense...no word on what happens if it doesn't reach 3%, or it isn't consistently 3%, year after year
  
• After initially refusing to do so, Trump has now waived shipping restrictions to Puerto Rico, the Jones Act, restrictions which had ships full of food, water and medicine in Puerto Rican ports, but unable to be unloaded

• 50 Cent, the rapper, told the story of how Trump offered him 500K to appear with him during the campaign in 2016, in an attempt to help him lure African American voters.  He turned it down.  "Nah, that's not good money"

• Rep. Devin Nunes is trying to find out what the Department of Justice and the FBI know in regards to their investigations into the Steele Dossier.  Both agencies have refused Nunes' demands for their files.  Nunes is the Representative stooge who is a Trump lackey
• White House Spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway is avoiding paying a substantial tax bill on the sale of her polling company because of a conflict of interest loophole which allows her to keep the money as a member of the Executive Branch.  It makes me wonder, now that the deal is done, will she be leaving the White House soon

• Under Trump's order for a crackdown, ICE agents (his hired thugs), specifically target sanctuary cities in raids over the last four days

• The White House is refusing to release what exactly Trump did, if anything, in regards to Puerto Rico while Trump was at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey the weekend of September 23rd and 24th.  They won't even state if he even called Puerto Rico over the weekend, 4-5 days after the hurricane hit
  
• Intelligence experts are stating it's a pretty safe bet that White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner's private email has been compromised by foreign agents, email he was using to conduct official government business, illegally
  
• After spending an obscene amount of money traveling the country as Health and Human Services Secretary, Tom Price tenured his letter of resignation and Trump accepted it.  My guess is he flew commercial back to Georgia

• Even with all the chaos going on in the country today, Trump heads for another weekend at the golf course

• NBC's National Affairs analyst and noted conservative John Heilemann laid out the most likely case for Trump collusion with Russia.  The ads Russians bought on social media were WAY too targeted to be just random.  The ads were targeted to specific places and specific voting groups leading up to the election, people Trump had to win to get elected
• Before walking out the door in shame, after wasting millions of tax payer dollars, Former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, the day before he left office, delayed an ObamaCare rule which would punish drug companies for knowingly price-gouging.

• Trump, a man who didn't even acknowledge Puerto Rico's plight until 6 days after the hurricane, a man who spent the previous days golfing, attacking kneeling players in the NFL, NOT calling Puerto Rico to see how there were doing, and a man who when he did finally address the hurricane ravaged island, first said they had to pay their debt, and then painted the White House's lack luster response as fantastic, went on an early Saturday morning Twitter temper tantrum against the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, insisting she's nasty for criticizing his half ass efforts, implied this disaster is all the mayor's fault, blamed Democrats for turning her and all the Puerto Ricans suffering against him, and called the people of Puerto Rico lazy, wanting everything to be done for them.  Wow...sad day America
  
• It's reported Trump's tax plan will save him 757 million over ten years.  That's an estimate because he won't release his tax returns.  This would place the tax bill in the realm of conflict of interest
  
• Trump is rightly taking heat for his 'Blame Puerto Rico' stance, getting a lot of backlash from the Mayor of San Juan, whom he personally attacked.  Retired Lieutenant General Russel Honoré, the general who aided Louisiana after W. Bush's missteps:  "The mayor's living on a cot, and I hope the president has a good day at golf." "And [Trump] has shown again, you don't give a damn about poor people. You don't give a damn about people of color and the SOB that rides around Air Force One is denying services needed by the people of Puerto Rico."
  
• Trump doubles down.  Trump, a man who had a red button installed on his desk so that a butler could be summoned to deliver him a coke whenever he needed it, preventing him from having to walk five feet to a fridge and get one himself, is complaining about how the people of Puerto Rico, who are without water, electricity, food and medicine, "Want everything done for them."
  
• Even the Evangelical church is now calling on Trump to do something about the white racist alt-right movement
• Sarah Huckabee Sanders used Trump's comments to attack the media stating they're not covering the REAL story, Trump having Puerto Rico's back.  It's immediately pointed out Trump clearly doesn't have Puerto Rico's back
• Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin refused to confirm whether or not Trump's tax plan would benefit Trump directly, something analysis of the plan shows it would
• Trump once again makes a major policy decision on Twitter
  
• Trump, on Twitter, tells Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to stop diplomatic efforts with North Korea, reiterating the name calling Trump's become known for, when he referenced North Korean dictator Kim Jung-Un as "little rocket man"
• This latest North Korea story does present the question of whether or not Trump was the decider behind Tillerson's latest efforts to restore diplomacy with North Korea.  If Trump didn't okay it, then who did?
  
• After Trump ordered the NFL players to not engage in their Freedom of Speech and Freedom to Protest, NFL players disregarded him and knelt for the National Anthem again
  
• White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney was taken to task by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, who pointed out the Administration had broken their promise stating the wealthy wouldn't be the recipients of major tax cuts, which they certainly are in the latest tax bill.  Then Wallace scolded Mulvaney for the disproven Conservative fiscal argument that tax cuts pay for themselves, which they don't
• Military people are apparently on the ground in Puerto Rico and have not yet received any orders on what exactly they should do
  
• In another Twitter temper tantrum Trump is now referring to the Mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulín Cruz, as an "ingrate"
  
• Another weekend, another protest march.  This time it was the March for Racial Justice and the March for Black Women.  Thousands showed up in D.C.
• Leaders from both parties have told Trump to stop whining and making a scene, and to help Puerto Rico
  
• In what is a surprising but not surprising move by Trump, in September, he apparently told senior aides to describe him to South Korean leaders as erratic and unpredictable, being "so crazy" he might pull out of longstanding US-Korean deals.  He wanted his aides to describe him to the leader of another country as "crazy," like a manager at a mattress sale who might give him a deal, because sometimes 'he goes crazy!'
  
• It's pointed out the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) has been without a boss (the presidential science advisor) for the longest stretch since 1976, and no one seems to know why the hold up is in place
• A Trump tweet implies he doesn't know the history of North Korea, stating North Korea has been like this for only 25 years.  1976 is really the beginning of the modern North Korea. Kim Jung-Un has only been in power since 2011.  Kim Jung-Il came to power 23 years ago, but died in the aforementioned 2011...???
  
• Puerto Rico, an island which needs food, medicine, electricity, and has 55% of their people without water, had Trump, who instead of doing the job he campaigned for, spent his time at a PGA tournament this weekend, dedicating a professional golf tournament trophy to them.  No seriously.  Nothing else, just the trophy
  
• Trump's FEMA Administrator Brock Long accused Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulín Cruz, of spouting off, not appreciating all FEMA is doing for Puerto Rico, and of not helping FEMA on the ground.  When asked to follow up on the allegation Cruz was not helping FEMA, he deflected away

At this point, any Republican who isn't vocally screaming their disgust needs to be labeled correctly: "Part of the problem!"  They are tolerating this incompetency, shaking their heads quietly hoping it conveys just enough disgust so they can run next year as someone who's "been disappointed in what Trump has done," while at the same time cheering the dismantling of our energy policy, education system, national parks, foreign policy, transportation system, housing and urban development, government assistance programs, emergency management systems, going after African Americans, going after Latinos, installing a massive tax handout to the wealthy the rest of us are going to pay for, dismantling health insurance, and possibly starting a war or two.

All Republicans are, for the most part, fully endorsing what Trump's doing in Washington DC.

What's done is done, but to prevent Trump from being able to do this for a full term (it's clear the GOP money people are prepping Pence to be the candidate in 2020), #2018IsEverything!  If the Democrats can take back the House and/or Senate, not only does all of the evidence against Trump, in regards to Russia, NOT disappear, (which it will if the GOP is in charge for two more years) but then the Democrats, if they have any competency at all, can spend two years publicly rubbing the GOP's faces in the Trump mess they silently endorsed, opening the door for a monster 2020.

Make sure you get five people to the polls on election day in 2018.  Thank you!
