President Trump, Week 40

Here's this week's list of undeniable incompetence coming from President Trump, and the White House, for the week beginning Monday, October 16th to Sunday, October 22nd.  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', most of this 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.  Instead, the same Republicans who had a rage-gasams at the thought of President Obama disrespecting the troops, sit quietly as their guy not only ignores dead US soldiers, but when he finally does find time in his golf schedule to make a call, he insults military widows with insensitive comments.  Proud day, Republicans!

It is indeed a scary time of the year.  Let's go trick or treating!

• In a sign the damage to the Republican Party is already done, Vice President Mike Pence went to a rally in the reddest district in Virginia.  In a room which fit 1200, and would've been overflowing a year ago, only 400 showed up, for Pence
  
• A Democratic Congressman, Steve Cohen, is saying at least one House Republican is currently considering Articles of Impeachment against Trump
• The Trump Administration, realizing every legitimate review of their tax plan points out it's obscenely top heavy nature, have released their own benefit "research," stating if a whole bunch of mythical scenarios come true, a working class worker MIGHT see a benefit...MIGHT
• Washington Post report states Senator Bob Corker's claim the White House is an 'adult daycare center' might be fact.  There are daily attempts to "intentionally" delay Trump so he can "calm down," attempts to rein in the "impetuous Trump." At the same time aides and outside advisors are trying to push their friends and allies into key White House appointments by setting up TV interviews for their buddies, and then advising Trump to tune in to certain shows for praise 
  
• The battle lines in DC are forming.  On one side is the Republican establishment who want their way, but who don't want to change things too much.  On the other side is the 'Axis of Stupidity', Steven Bannon, the Koch Brothers, the Nazis, White Supremacists and the self serving (people like Gover Nordqvist or the Russians).  These two groups are desperately fighting for control of Trump, and the USA
• To pay for Trump's billionaire tax breaks, Trump and Republicans are eyeing the earned income tax credit, a tax refund geared towards the working poor
• Trump's choice for his new Drug Czar, Rep. Tom Marino, was actually the guy to crippled the DEA's fight agains the opioid epidemic.  He took drug company money to make sure suspicious drug shipments from companies could not be frozen by the DEA
  
• Report from the New Yorker states Trump often mocked Vice President Pence, much like he mocked many former members of the White House staff.  The primary source for Pence's ridicule is his Christians faith.  Trump us actively mocking Christianity!
• During the same interview, when asked about gay rights, Trump pointed at Pence and said "Don't ask that guy.  He wants to hang them all!"  Sweet Lord...
• White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his family, might end up losing control of the New York City based 5th Ave Tower.  This is the same tower they were trying to use their connections to Trump to help financially
  
• People are openly suspecting Facebook is not being forthright, blocking data they have in regards to Russian purchased pro-Trump ads from the 2016 Election
• Trump desperately wants to run against Hillary Clinton again in 2020
• Representative Devin Nunes, a Trump lackey, and a man who was supposed to step aside in any US House Trump/Russia investigation, had his targeted subpoenas for the people behind the Steele Dossier, Fusion GPS, rejected.  Fusion's counsel went on to point to the bad faith interactions between Nunes and the company is one of many reasons the founders will outright refuse to testify
• Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross failed to completely list all of his assets on his disclosure forms when applying for the job.  He left two BILLION, with a B, off of his forms.  Oopsie!
  
• According to the New Yorker, First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump commandeered a Trump Transition meeting away from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and offered traitorous bastard Michael Flynn any job he wanted in the White House
  
• Trump, talking to the media, told them to stop covering ObamaCare, because "it's dead. There's no such thing anymore." It actually is still he law of the land, with Obamacare sign ups beginning again soon
• In what might be a direct response to Steve Bannon's Value Voters Summit comments, Trump specifically held an impromptu press conference with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to re-establish his commitment to working with the Senate leader.  He claimed he and McConnell are "buddies"
  
• Trump goes to a new low.  In an effort to excuse his inexcusable behavior in regards to the four Green Berets killed in Niger, Trump stated "President Obama and other Presidents, most them didn't make calls" to the families of soldiers killed in combat.  That is an unequivocal lie, easily disproven in the case of Obama and ALL the other Presidents, prior to Trump
• Alyssa Mastromanaco, President Obama's former Deputy Chief of Staff, called out Trump's lie on soldiers killed in combat, and she didn't mix words.  "that's a f*king lie! [Trump]'s a deranged animal."
  
• Numerous media outlets immediately call out Trump's lie about President Obama and other Presidents never calling the families of soldiers killed in the line of duty
• NBA coach of the San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich called Trump "unfit" and a "soulless coward" for not calling the families of the fallen Green Berets
• White House Press Secretary tried her best to defend Trump's outrageous "no President ever called the families of fallen soldiers" comment by stating  Trump was "just stating a fact."  That itself is an outrageous lie
  
• House and Senate Investigators are turing their attention towards the GOP activist, Peter Smith, who committed suicide a few weeks after he acknowledged 1) he had been actively searching for who had hacked Hillary's emails prior to the 2016 Election, 2) had direct ties to former National Security Advisor and traitorous bastard Michael Flynn, and Former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, and 3) had been working with the Trump campaign on opposition research
• A paper trail shows Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, ICE, to label undocumented immigrants as criminals to justify the mass raids ICE was conducting across the country
• The White House, in a sign they might be starting to circle the wagons, have outright refused a request by the House Oversight Committee for information about private e-mail use by various White House Staffers, including First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump and her husband White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner
  
• The buck stops with someone else!  Trump, a man who promised all his legislation would get passed almost immediately after he took office, fails to criticize his own lackluster efforts to get bills passed, and points to Senate Republicans as the reason his agenda is stalled
• Former Democratic nominee, and winner of the popular vote in 2016, Hillary Clinton, compared Trump to the serial sexual abuser Harvey Weinstein
• Given an opportunity to condemn the hate speech of Republican Candidate for Senate in Alabama, Roy Moore, Trump refused and bragged about meeting with Moore soon
• Trump, when asked about the subpoena he had served for documents on sexual assault accusations, called it "totally fake news"
• Trump's continued failure at taking care of American citizens on Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, where people are dying due to Trump's incompetent response, is unforgivable.  Trump once again blames Puerto Rico for getting hit by two hurricanes
  
• Trump purposely dodged question on whether or not he was aware of what the true meaning of the kneeling protest NFL players were committing to
• Trump is cheering the economic comments of former Reagan Administration member Art Laffer, especially the ones touting Trump's tax plan.  Laffer is the man who helped instigate Kansas's full trickle down economics, policies which have completely annihilated that state's economy
  
• Trump's two appointees to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pushed through two new pipelines, pipelines the lone Democrat on the committee called unnecessary "given the environmental impacts and possible superior alternatives"

• Colin Kaepernick, the NFL player who started the kneeling during the National Anthem to protest racial injustice in America, has sued the NFL for colluding to keep him from playing for anyone.  The focus of the lawsuit will be Trump's influence over the NFL owners, billionaires who have a lot to gain from Trump's pro-wealthy policies
• Former GOP Representative David Jolly, disgusted by Trump and the current GOP, actually stated the country will be safer if the Democrats win the House in 2018
  
• It's being reported that one of the Green Berets who was killed in Niger, Sergeant La David Johnson, had his body left on the battlefield for 48 hours before being retrieved.  Once again I do not think we should be politicizing these deaths, but the point of these lists is what would Republicans be outraged by if the President's party was Democratic.  I guarantee there would be immediate hearings on Capitol Hill about this, with the goal of attaching the failure to Sergeant Johnson to the Democratic Administration
• Retired Army Lt. General Mark Hurtling blasted Trump for his lies about the Niger ambush and his excuses for not reaching out to the military families
• Trump's anti-immigration stance is leading to a tech boom, in Mexico.  Most major US tech companies have expanded their operations south of the border

• A small business owner from Massachusetts, Dave Ratner, says he was tricked into being at the White House for Trump's anti-ObamaCare signing.  He was told the only thing Trump would be signing was a bill to allow small businesses to form associations to buy insurance, not the attempted killing of ObamaCare.  Ratner is taking a lot of heat for being there, so this could just be an excuse to try to redeem himself after the fact
  
• Trump claims he's justified in his Obama never cared for the Troops comments, buy putting out Chief of Staff John Kelly, whom Trump says never got a phone call from President Obama after his son was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2010.  Trump stated "you could ask General Kelly if he got a call from Obama"  
• Traitorous bastard, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn's son, Michael Flynn Jr, might soon be subpoenaed by the Senate Intelligence Committee himself, as he's refused to turn over documents and to testify before the committee up until this point
• First Daughter and White House staffer doing...something(?) Ivanka Trump touted her new World Back led initiative to empower women entrepreneurs.  She posted a video on Twitter and it immediately drew criticism, including the most obvious, "what about your dads sexual abuse/assault allegations?"
  
• Should be noted most of Ivanka's programs are being funded by foreign countries and foreign organizations Ivanka is openly soliciting donations from while in the White House, something Republicans were OUTRAGED by the thought of 11 months ago
  
• After Senator John McCain's criticism of Trump and Steve Bannon, Trump warns McCain "I fight back...and it won't be pretty"
• The real story of President Obama's response after the loss of Chief of Staff John Kelly's son comes out.  First General Kelly had specifically asked for privacy for his family after the loss, not wanting to make it seem like one lost soldier was more important than another lost soldier.  The Obama's then did invite them to sit with Michelle Obama during a breakfast honoring gold star families at the White House in early 2011.  By all accounts, General Kelly and his wife attended
• Trump is nominating White House Deputy Counsel Greg Katsas to the Washington DC court of appeals.  Katsas specifically was pushing against the Mueller probe from ever happening, and if his nomination is approved, he'd be on the court listening to any appeals of the Mueller probe
  
• Scripps News Political Correspondent Mike Sacks called out Trump to his face about Trump's claims the US is the highest taxed country in the world.  Asked why he was saying something objectively false, as it undermines his credibility, Trump, after deflecting, said "Because a lot of people know exactly what I'm talking about"  No...no they don't

• It's reported on MSNBC that White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner met with the Putin appointed head of the Russian slush fund Putin used to influence American politics, Sergey Gorkov.  Kushner met with Gorkov during the transition and he's not explained what happened during that meeting or what exactly was discussed
• Trump keeps using the Rolling Stones song, 'You Can't Always Get What You Want,' as an entrance song, oblivious of the irony, even though the Rolling Stones have requested he not use the song
  
• Trump finally called a family member of one of the soldiers lost in Niger.  He called the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and told her, still grieving mind you, "He knew what he signed up for."  Rep. Frederica Wilson confirmed he said it, and condemned his lack of tact and sensitivity.  "I was going to curse him out."  The widow was left in tears
• Trump, during a press conference with the President of Greece, was asked by FoxNews what his healthcare plan is.  What came next was a jumbled word salad which should make anyone question Trump's sanity.  He attacked insurance companies, then attacked ObamaCare, and then attacked Democrats.  Three minutes of mindless ranting and he never once got close to answering the question
  
• Thumbing their noses at Trump's attempt to kill Obamacare, Senators Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray have come up with a deal to stabilize the healthcare markets in the short term (2 years) to ensure they keep operating while Republicans try to figure out what the heck they're doing.  No word if it would pass the Senate, or even be taken up by the House

• A meeting between the NFL owners and the NFL Players Association did not come up with a mutual agreement in regards to players kneeling during the National Anthem in protest of racial injustice in America.  Trump has ordered the NFL to make the predominantly African American players bow to his will.  So far, they're not bowing; still kneeling
• It seems White House Advisor and Trump son-in-law, Jared Kushner was always very wary of former FBI Director James Comey, from the beginning of the transition stage.  He apparently is terrified of the Mueller probe focusing on the reasons and rationale for firing Comey, something he apparently had some involvement in

• Trump's Anti-Voting Commission might be headed for disbandment after one of the commission's researchers was arrested on child pornography charges.  The researcher, Ronald Williams II, has a history of working in the inner circles of the private conservative groups, who are the real people running the Commission.  Democratic members are calling for transparency on Williams, as well as other members of the commission
  
• Trump posts an early morning rage tweet against Rep. Frederica Wilson, the Democrat who was listening in on Trump's call when he told the widow of Sgt.

• Trump on Monday said he's personally consoled every family who has lost a service member while he's been in office.  We know of at least two gold star families he's never once contacted, beyond the four families of the Green Berets we lost, and one family stated they had received a letter, but no call from Trump

• Senator Dick Durbin pointed out that Attorney General Jeff Sessions would have blown up if he, when he was a senator, would have had an Attorney General dodge questions like he did today
• Durbin then attacked Sessions lack of comprehensive plan to deal with GLBTQ discrimination caused by Sessions "religious freedom" guidance, putting out numerous examples of scenarios which clearly Sessions had no answer for, or just didn't want to give the answer he knew on camera: "yes that discrimination would be legal."
  
• Senator Al Franken absolutely mopped the floor with Sessions when he confronted him about his never ending changing excuses about his Russian connections.  Sessions ending up falling back to denying "a continuing exchange of information" with the Russians.  Sessions then added, "I don't have to sit here and listen to this"
  
• Franken then started messing with Sessions, HARD!  He confronted Sessions on Trump surrogates communicating with the Russians, and when Sessions stated he didn't think there were any, Franken brought out a laundry list of Trump people who we know have had Russian contacts (Flynn, Manafort, Kushner, Tweedle Dee), and proceeded to slam dunk Sessions 
• Senator Amy Klobuchar also went after Sessions.  She cornered Sessions on the White House's war on the media, and Session refused to promise that he wouldn't jail journalists for doing their job
  
• The daily press briefing with White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was an absolute train wreck.  Sanders was immediately in over her head, trying to insist Trump was respectful and supportive in his call to Sgt. La David Johnson's widow, while having to confirm whether or not he was even aware of the name of the soldier whose family he was talking to.  He kept using the phrase "your guy" during the call
• It's not like Trump hasn't called some family members of fallen soldiers, but even those calls are giving him issues.  In one of those calls, he offered the grieving father $25,000, but only followed through on Wednesday after backlash from not paying the man what he offered
• Another gold star family reports they were told Trump would call the, but he never did
  
• It's reported that right before the election, Kellyanne Conway, Michael Flynn and Donald Trump Jr. (Tweddle Dee) all retweeted posts from Russian trolls posing as American Republicans.  They all pushed Russian propaganda.  The account @10_GOP was pretending be a Tennessee Republican sympathizer, but was actually a set up fake Russian account.  No word on whether Conway, Flynn or Tweedle knew that when they posted the tweets
• Someone needs to fire the Trump photo supervisor.  The latest mistake was using a photo of the White House to tout Trump's tax plan, a photo which featured former President Obama's dog Bo front and center in the image.  The photo was from 2012

• It's now revealed Trump himself thanked the Russian propaganda Twitter account 
  
• In a new sign of trouble for Trump, people are starting to ask what exactly was going on with the Niger mission where we lost four Green Berets and why is the Administration so quiet about what was going on there.  The feeling is Trump might be purposely creating a distraction with his inappropriate comments, trying to hide in plain sight
• WOW!!!  Realizing the net is closing up around him, Trump unleashes a bizarre conspiracy theory (ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!).  He's now insisting the Steele Dossier, the one which implicates him with his many Russian connections, and exposes his urine fetish, is actually a conspiracy between the Democrats, the Russians, and the FBI

Bush tore into Trump for 16 full minutes.  He never once said his name, but undeniably condemned him and his actions over the last few months.  Amongst his comments, he condemned white supremacy, calling it a 'blasphemy,' and encouraged leaders to take on a more positive role, saying bullying and prejudice are beneath the national tine

• In reaction to Trump's claim about UK crime, the best response from the UK comes from Liberal Democrat MP Jo Swinson: "Hate crime is up and it is fueled by the kind of populist xenophobia you peddle."  She's claiming Trump has far more to do with the crime rate in the UK than radical Islamic terrorists

• White House Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, even though she said she'd seen the video of Rep. Frederica Wilson's FBI Building dedication speech, said the White House and General Kelly stood by his mis-characterization of the speech.  Asked if Kelly was correct, Sanders said "absolutely."  She then went onto state it's inappropriate to question the truthfulness of a four star general, like John Kelly, even though the video shows quite clearly he was lying

• Reminder:  One of the biggest Republican arguments against former President Obama was that he played too much golf.  Trump has played golf 75 times, SEVENTY FIVE TIMES, since taking office.  That's roughly once every 4 days.  No, Obama was nowhere near that much, and NO, Republicans are not complaining anymore about amount of time a President spends golfing
  

SUPER SPOOKY!

What's amazing to me are the people who were FURIOUS over dijon mustard, chewing gun, latte salutes, tan suits, Michelle's sleeveless dress and fist bumps.  As they try to say they were only mocking Obama, I remember their comments and social media threads.  They were truly angry about all these lesser issues, posting for weeks about how Obama and the White engaging in such activity was beneath the office of the President.  There were multiple, determined calls, from Republicans, for him to resign due to these petty things.

Meanwhile, Trump openly disrespects the family of a fallen solder and they say NOTHING.

Does anyone doubt when the Democrats take the White House back, the same people who are silently endorsing disrespecting the military will demand immediate Congressional investigations because the Democratic President used a salad fork for their main course, "destroying America's relations with the world by using a tiny fork!!!"
