Is there anything this guy won’t say? Is he, or his speech writers purposely trying to see just how far they can go before he / they alienate EVERYONE?
Is he actually so tired of the criticism that he’s going to try to sabotage his own re-election? His ego wouldn’t allow him to voluntarily decline the nomination, but is it so fragile that he’d go as far as this to assure the Republican Party goes with someone else?
I’m no fan of the Gang of Four, but telling them to go back to where they’re from was blatantly racist and right in line with the tired “go back to Africa” rhetoric.
I don’t disagree with him telling those who don’t like and constantly criticize our country that they’re free to leave, which they are. There’s hundreds of other nations and countries out there.
But those that are complaining the loudest aren’t going anywhere. And they aren’t doing a thing to effect the “change” they so dutifully swore to enlist since taking over the House.
I’m certainly glad my wife and I chose to decline parenthood and I feel and fear for those next two generations, if we all even make it that far.
GO DODGERS!!!

So now we know for sure what Trump's 'return to greatness' meant.
‘Send Her Back’: The Bigoted Rallying Cry of Trump 2020
Conor Friedersdorf 9 hrs ago
Editor’s note: The opinions in this article are the author’s, as published by our content partner, and do not necessarily represent the views of MSN or Microsoft.
On Wednesday night in North Carolina, Donald Trump agitated rally-goers with inflammatory rhetoric about Representative Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American born in Somalia, until his supporters began chanting “send her back”––as if a legal immigrant who became a U.S. citizen can or should be denied equal treatment under the law and extra-constitutionally deported by the president.
Burning a copy of the U.S. Constitution would show no more contempt for it than the crowd’s bigoted, nativist reverie about tyrannically deposing an elected member of Congress. No opinion expressed by the congresswoman, no matter how wrongheaded, could excuse the un-American mob.
The crowd’s authoritarian outburst and the purposefully divisive, irresponsible presidential rhetoric that prompted it portends an ugly Trump campaign for reelection. Like “lock her up,” the chant that Trump rally-goers directed at Hillary Clinton in 2016, “send her back” is poised to travel the country with the president.
Already, the civic poison of the chant has been televised and celebrated on social media by Trump supporters. Naturalized immigrants must have heard it and felt anxious. Racists must have heard it and felt glad. Children must have heard it, too, and felt uncomfortable, knowing in their gut that the chant is wrong. Some kids are surely being malignly influenced by its repudiation of the American creed.
Republicans know that more of the same is coming. Wednesday’s rally put them on notice: Trump intends to run a reelection campaign that stokes the ugliest impulses of his base, no matter how much damage it does to the civic fabric of America and no matter how much hatred it stirs up against immigrant populations. The overwhelming majority of the GOP and its electorate are sticking by Trump anyway, even though they could be working for a contested primary election.
That is shameful.
How many times between now and Election Day 2020 will Trump whip up a crowd of his supporters into a new frenzy of bigoted, unconstitutional nativism? Four more years of this would be devastating for America.

I've had it. Rants about his twitter popularity (who gives a shit?), demeaning our allies, who have followed our word to the letter (read about Operation Gladio in Europe & Condor in Latin America), threatening dangerous countries like North Korea, minimizing & insulting a large segment of our own American population. This guy is a total retard. I don't care if the Democrats put up Bozo the Clown. I'm voting Democrat. His own party must know he's out there. Yet they won't abandon him because white backlash from Reagan's Bible Belt (8 years of Obama) wants someone like Trump. We're more polarized than ever.
F'n fruitcake.

The only problem is the Dems are so unorganized they literally have two dozen plus or so vying for the nomination and none of them likely have the backing or support to keep Trump at a single term. And most of them are pushing a socialist platform that I don’t think ANYONE wants to see this country go to - I know I don’t. The free handouts need to be stopped and most of them only want to give away MORE. Free college, forgiveness of current college debts, free healthcare to anyone who sets foot in our country, open boarders, etc. Where’s this money going to come from? Bernie states he doesn’t think Americans will mind paying more taxes?!? Is he insane? The racial divide in this country is deplorable, to be sure. The juvenile name calling and “go back to” is unbecoming of what is supposed to be the greatest nation on Earth. Trump can say and do just about anything he wants and his popularity continues to grow. His last name might as well be Kennedy. GO DODGERS!!! |

And so continues his bizarre fascination with twitter.
Trump mocks London mayor after police Twitter account hacked
Jesse Byrnes 3 hrs ago
President Trump on Saturday mocked London Mayor Sadiq Khan after the main Twitter account for his city's police department was taken over by hackers posting bizarre messages.
"With the incompetent Mayor of London, you will never have safe streets!" Trump wrote in response to a tweet from English media personality Katie Hopkins.
"Officers says they have lost control of London streets. Apparently they lost control of their twitter account too," Hopkins had written in her tweet, one of several pro-Trump messages from her that the president also shared Saturday.
Trump needled the London mayor after the Metropolitan Police's website and Twitter account were both targeted by hackers who sent various tweets including some about British rapper Digga D, the BBC reported.
Scotland Yard confirmed on its website Saturday that "unauthorised messages appeared on the news section of our website as well as on the @metpoliceuk Twitter feed and in emails sent to subscribers."
"While we are still working to establish exactly what happened, we have begun making changes to our access arrangements to MyNewsDesk," it added, referring to an online provider it said it uses to issue news releases.
"We apologise to our subscribers and followers for the messages they have received," police added, emphasizing that "there has been no 'hack' of the Met Police's own IT infrastructure."
London's mayor has been a familiar punching bag for the president, with the two trading barbs since before Trump entered office.
Trump blasted the mayor as a "stone-cold loser" ahead of the president's state visit to the U.K. last month. Khan responded by comparing Trump's behavior to that of an 11-year-old child.

I know I'm always fascinated with the inner workings of London's city hall. It has such a profound impact on events in the U.S. Good for Trump calling that "stone cold loser" out.
Apologies to any eleven year olds who were offended by the comparison to a bigoted, spoiled brat billionaire going through his own second childhood.

Apologies to any eleven year olds who were offended by the comparison to a bigoted, spoiled brat billionaire going through his own second childhood. I’m guessing the only reason he didn’t tweet “neener neener neener” is he didn’t know how to spell it. As much as I enjoy it sometimes talking with friends, seeing photos and videos, etc., for the good of this country, perhaps it’s time Twitter closed up shop. But of course, he’d just jump to Instagram, Facebook or other like sites. There’s something truly wrong with him. GO DODGERS!!! |

Trump renews Mueller attacks days before testimony
Jordan Fabian 1 hr ago
President Trump on Monday renewed his attacks on Robert Mueller, days before the former special counsel is set to testify about the Russia investigation during a highly anticipated congressional hearing.
In a pair of tweets, Trump repeated his claim that Mueller is "highly conflicted" and accused him of leading a "ridiculous Witch Hunt." The president for more than two years has leveled both charges in an attempt to undermine Mueller's credibility.
"Highly conflicted Robert Mueller should not be given another bite at the apple. In the end it will be bad for him and the phony Democrats in Congress who have done nothing but waste time on this ridiculous Witch Hunt," Trump tweeted.
The president also repeated his belief that Mueller's report found "NO COLLUSION, NO OBSTRUCTION!"

This is going a bit far.... Trump appeared in front of altered presidential seal which read '45 is a puppet' When President Trump appeared at the Turning Point USA student summit on Tuesday, the presidential seal behind him had been altered to include a graphic that alluded to his alleged ties to Russia and a banner that read "45 is a puppet" in Spanish, according to The Washington Post. What happened so far: Two days after Trump addressed a summit hosted by the conservative NGO Turning Point USA, a reporter for the Washington Post spotted a few peculiarities in what at first glance appeared to be the presidential seal. But upon closer inspection, it looks to have been doctored to incorporate a two-headed eagle — resembling the bird on the Russian coat of arms — clutching a set of golf clubs. — Time www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/25/how-did-trump-end-up-front-presidential-seal-doctored-include-russian-symbol/?utm_term=.4274fa962b50 |

Donald Trump
Family and personal life
Early life and education
Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, at the Jamaica Hospital in the borough of Queens, New York City. His father was Frederick Christ Trump, a Bronx-born real estate developer, whose own parents were German immigrants. His mother was Scottish-born housewife and socialite Mary Anne MacLeod Trump.
Ancestry and parents
Further information: Trump family
Trump's ancestors on his father's side came from the German village of Kallstadt in the Palatinate, and on his mother's side from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

My GOD! Descended from the Huns? Gaelic speaking? She didn't even speak English? A horde of semi-barbaric children by eastern European mothers?
