Donald Trump's campaign has cycled $6 million back into Trump companies

NEW ORLEANS - Donald Trump's campaign likes to keep it in the family.

When Trump flies, he uses his airplane. When he campaigns, he often chooses his properties or his own Trump Tower in New York City, which serves as headquarters. His campaign even buys Trump bottled water and Trump wine.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been on the campaign trail for a year, and federal finance reports detail a campaign unafraid to comingle political and business endeavors in an unprecedented way - even as he is making appeals for donations.

Through the end of May, Trump's campaign had plunged at least $6.2 million back into Trump corporate products and services, a review of Federal Election Commission filings shows. That's about 10% of his total campaign expenditures.



Unlike in the primary when Trump touted his ability to pay his own way, he has been on an urgent fund-raising quest for more than a month. His campaign began June with $1.3 million in the bank, compared with the $42 million presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton had amassed.

Wealthy political candidates in the past have walled off their business from their campaigns, but Trump embraces his companies. Public documents indicate that his revenue has risen along with his presidential aspirations.

While Trump's controversial comments have cost his businesses money - for example, the PGA Tour recently announced that it would move its World Golf Championship from a Trump course to one in Mexico City - Trump reported in documents filed in May with federal regulators that his revenue had increased by roughly $190 million over the previous 17 months.

Trump's campaign didn't respond to detailed questions about the intermingling of his businesses and campaign.

Trump isn't the first high-profile politician to run a campaign while managing large corporate assets. Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York and presidential contender Steve Forbes both ran companies bearing their name.

Both took great care to carefully separate their businesses and their campaigns, their former aides said, citing the complex maze of campaign finance regulations about using corporate resources. For instance, federal rules require a company to charge their campaigns fair-market value.

The Trump campaign - funded during the primary contest mostly by loans Trump made - appears to be properly documenting its use of the businessman's assets in federal reports, leaving a record of his campaign's finances and their impact on his self-reported financial largesse.

Some of Trump's revenue bump appears to be directly traced to his campaign. TAG Air Inc., the holding company for his airplane, had $3.7 million in revenue in the most recent reporting period - an amount that came largely from the campaign.

Trump's relentless product branding while on the campaign trail might be helping, too. Trump Ice LLC, the bottled-water company, brought in income of more than $413,000 in the most recent reporting period, up from $280,000.

In the beginning months of his presidential bid, Trump paid about $350,000 out of pocket to rent campaign space in his own building and to cover the salaries of some of the Trump Organization employees he had moved onto his campaign staff. FEC reports show that the campaign reimbursed him for those costs. In May, the campaign paid Trump an additional $45,000 for more rent and payroll.

Trump also lent his campaign more than $46 million over the past year - money he has largely not recouped, according to FEC reports.

The campaign has paid about $520,000 to Trump Tower Commercial LLC and the Trump Corporation for rent and utilities. The campaign also paid $423,000 to Trump's private Mar-a-Lago Club in south Florida for rent and catering and an additional $135,000 in rent and utilities to Trump Restaurants LLC.

The campaign paid out $26,000 in January to rent out a facility at Trump National Doral, his golf course in Miami. He held an event in the gold-accented ballroom there in late October. The campaign paid almost $11,000 to Trump's hotel in Chicago.

Even $4.7 million the campaign has spent on hats and T-shirts has a tie to Trump. The provider, Ace Specialties, is owned by a board member of son Eric Trump's charitable foundation.

Photo of Trump, Falwell Jr. beside Playboy cover raises holy heck

Evangelical Hypocrisy ???


  • Jerry Falwell Jr. tweeted a photo of himself with Donald Trump on Tuesday

  • Oops. They were standing near a framed copy of a Playboy magazine — one with Trump on the cover

  • When people criticized Falwell, he more or less warned them not to cast the first stone

falwell

This photo of (from left) Jerry Falwell, Jr., Donald Trump and Falwell’s wife, Becki, got the Christian leader into some hot water Tuesday. @jerry Jr
Falwell Twitter

Christian leader Jerry Falwell Jr. was so happy to pose with Donald Trump on Tuesday that he tweeted the photo to the world.

Then the world started casting stones.

Because hanging on the wall behind Trump, Falwell and Falwell’s wife, Becki, was a framed Playboy magazine cover.

It was the March 1990 Playboy, to be exact, with Trump and Playmate Brandi Brandt on the front. Brandt is also known for her failed marriage to Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx and for being jailed for her involvement in a cocaine smuggling syndicate that hid drugs in the toilets of airliners.

The New York Post reports that it is a permanent fixture in Trump’s Manhattan office on a wall that showcases other magazine covers Trump has graced.

It took all of a split second for social media to see it in Falwell’s photo.

The campaign named a list of people on Tuesday who will serve on an evangelical executive advisory board to Trump that will “convene on a regular basis,” according to Politico.

Some of them were responsible for organizing the meeting between Trump and Christian leaders in New York on Tuesday.

Falwell is one of them.

Trump is proud of that Playboy cover. Last month at a rally in Pennsylvania someone handed him a copy of the magazine to autograph as he worked the rope line.

Trump held it up and showed it to the crowd standing nearby.

People cheered.

Chris Christie Is Reportedly Being Vetted to Be Donald Trump's Running Mate
Because, according to Trump, "everyone loves a fat guy.":o

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie—the former Trump opponent turned errand boy—has reportedly received the official paperwork for the vetting process to be the likely Republican nominee's running mate, the New York Times reports.

The news comes as no surprise really, considering that Christie was one of the first Republicans to endorse Trump following his own failed presidential bid, then rushing to the realestate mogul's side as a campaign advisor and defending Trump's statements in interviews.

Back in May, Trump named Christie the head of his transition team, which tasked his former rival with planning his presidential administration and trying to win over disgruntled Republicans unhappy with their party's choice. According to the Times, Trump has said before that Christie would have a place in the White House if he won in November. If the vetting goes well, apparently that place could be as Trump's No. 2.

Of course, Christie could just be a pawn in Trump's larger plan to launch a media conglomerate. According to a former crew member on Trump's reality show, The Apprentice, the former host has said before, "Everybody loves a fat guy. People will watch if you have a funny fat guy around. Trust me, it's good for ratings."

Is America Repeating the Mistakes of 1968?

The Kerner Report confronted a tense nation with data about structural racism throughout the country and made recommendations to solve the problem. But America looked away.

“All of us, as Americans, should be troubled by these shootings, because these are not isolated incidents,” said President Barack Obama following the horrific shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. “They’re symptomatic of a broader set of racial disparities that exist in our criminal-justice system.” In an American tragedy of the nation’s own making, Obama will end his historic presidency with racial turmoil rocking the nation. The person whose election brought so much hope about the trajectory of race relations in the United States, a country that has perpetually suffered from the original sin of slavery, is spending these days desperately trying to calm the anger over police killings of African Americans and the protests and violence that have ensued.

Today, America has a president who understands the urgent need to address the problems of institutional racism that have been broadcast to the entire world through smartphones and exposés of a racialized criminal-justice system. But this conflict is taking shape right in the middle of a heated election season—one that includes a candidate who has made draconian proposals for national security and who appeals to the “Silent Majority.” Following the events in Dallas, Donald Trump released a statement that read: “We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.” Trump will no doubt conflate the Black Lives Matter movement with those responsible for the murder of the police, capitalizing on events in Dallas to rile up his supporters even more.

* * *​

This is not the first time this has happened. When questions over race and policing were front and center in a national debate in 1968, the federal government failed to take the steps necessary to make any changes. The government understood how institutional racism was playing out in the cities and how they exploded into violence, but the electorate instead was seduced by Richard Nixon’s calls for law and order, as well as an urban crackdown, leaving the problems of institutional racism untouched. Rather than deal with the way that racism was inscribed into American institutions, including the criminal-justice system, the government focused on building a massive carceral state, militarizing police forces, criminalizing small offenses, and living through repeated moments of racial conflict exploding into violence.

In July 1967, during the aftermath of the devastating race riots in Detroit, Michigan, and Newark, New Jersey—each of which started after incidents of police brutality against African Americans—President Lyndon Johnson established the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, known popularly as the Kerner Commission (for the chairman, Otto Kerner), to examine the roots of the violence. The rioting had taken place at a politically fraught time for Johnson. Southern Democrats and Republicans were leading a resurgence of the conservative coalition following the midterm elections of 1966. The disastrous Vietnam War had consumed all of the president’s remaining political capital, and conservatives on Capitol Hill were forcing him to make a decision between spending for guns or butter. Meanwhile, the civil-rights crusade had splintered, with the Black Power movement insisting that activists needed to take a bolder stand on issues like housing discrimination, policing, and unemployment.

Desperate to do something, but not in a position to do much more than defend his existing accomplishments, Johnson created the high-profile commission. The president stacked the commission with established political figures who were moderate and committed to the existing economic and political system. He wanted them to demonstrate to the public that the administration took the problems seriously—but he also wanted them to avoid recommendations that would embarrass him. Johnson was deeply cognizant of the economic and racial problems afflicting cities, but he felt that there was not much more he could do politically at that moment in time. Which is why the first version of the report was killed.

“A truly revolutionary spirit has begun to take hold,
an unwillingness to compromise or wait any longer.”

Commission staffers had produced a blistering and radical draft report on November 22, 1967. The 176-page report, “The America of Racism,” recounted the deep-seated racial divisions that shaped urban America, and it was damning about Johnson’s beloved Great Society programs, which the report said offered only token assistance while leaving the “white power structure” in place. What’s more, the draft treated rioting as an understandable political response to racial oppression. “A truly revolutionary spirit has begun to take hold,” they wrote, “an unwillingness to compromise or wait any longer, to risk death rather than have their people continue in a subordinate status.” Kerner then nixed the report, and his staff director fired all 120 social scientists who had worked on it.

Nevertheless, the final Kerner Report was still incredibly hard-hitting: “This is our basic conclusion: Our Nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal.” Though the commissioners had softened the language from the first draft, much of the data remained the same and the overall argument was still incredibly powerful. The report focused on institutional racism. This meant that racism was not just a product of bad individuals who believed that African Americans were inferior to white Americans, but that these racial hierarchies were literally embedded in the structure of society.

“Segregation and poverty,” the report said, “have created in the racial ghetto a destructive environment totally unknown to most white Americans. What white Americans have never fully understood—but what the Negro can never forget—is that white society is deeply implicated in the ghetto. White institutions created it, white institutions maintain it, and white society condones it.” The riots in Newark and Detroit, the report continued, “were not caused by, nor were they the consequences of, any organized plan or ‘conspiracy.’” The rioters were educated and had been employed in recent years; most of them were furious about facing constant discrimination when seeking new employment, trying to find a place to live, or, worst of all, interacting with hostile law-enforcement officials.

The police received the most scrutiny in the report. In a haunting section, the report explained, “Negroes firmly believe that police brutality and harassment occur repeatedly in Negro neighborhoods.” The rioting had shown that police enforcement had become a problem not a solution in race relations. More aggressive policing and militarized officers had become city officials’ de facto response to urban decay. “In several cities, the principal response has been to train and equip the police with more sophisticated weapons.” The report stressed that law-enforcement officers were not “merely a spark factor” to the riots but that they had come to symbolize “white power, white racism, and white oppression.”

The commissioners warned of “ominous consequences” if nothing changed.

The commissioners believed that cities had to stop arming the police with automatic rifles and machine guns, and instead recruit more African Americans and impose stricter guidelines on political conduct. Critics decried the commissioners for backing away from tougher language about police—language that would have acknowledged how violence was often used in retaliatory fashion against protesters and how police brutality against African Americans was constant, not sporadic. Nonetheless, for 1968, the Kerner Report included extremely tough language for a government body. The commissioners warned of “ominous consequences” if nothing changed. In the absence of action, many African Americans would see the conditions they faced as “justification for violent protest.”

Johnson knew the Kerner Report would embarrass him, and so he tried to ignore it as long as possible. He refused to formally receive the publication from the commissioners, and he didn’t talk about the report with the media for weeks. But the public did not ignore it. The report generated instant national attention when Bantam Books published it as a paperback in March 1968. With an introduction by New York Times columnist Tom Wicker, the 708-page paperback reached the best-seller list and sold more than 740,000 copies. In addition to exceeding sales of the Warren Commission Report, the Kerner Report was said to be the fastest-selling book since Valley of the Dolls. Marlon Brando even read parts of the report aloud on ABC’s Joey Bishop Show.

Donald Trump: Sarah Palin won't speak at RNC because Alaska is too far away:roflmao:
By Tom Kludt, CNN

Updated 9:56 PM ET, Thu July 14, 2016





160120085456-palin-trump-hp-2-exlarge-169.jpg

Story highlights
  • As the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008, Palin made a star turn at that year's RNC
  • Many observers expected her to have a speaking slot in Cleveland
(CNN)It's a long way from Alaska to Ohio -- a bit too long for Sarah Palin, apparently.

The former Alaska governor was a noticeable absence from a partial list of speakers announced to speak at next week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner on Thursday, Trump said that Palin was asked to speak, but that the distance ultimately precluded her from making the trip.
"It's a little bit difficult because of where she is," Trump said, referring to Palin's home state of Alaska. "We love Sarah. Little bit difficult because of, you know, it's a long ways away."
As the GOP vice presidential nominee in 2008, Palin made a star turn at that year's RNC in St. Paul, Minnesota, with a speech that had conservatives and pundits gushing.
But she was absent from the party's convention in Tampa, Florida, four years ago, saying it was a "good opportunity for other voices to speak" there.
Many observers expected her to have a speaking slot in Cleveland, given her early endorsement of Trump, but her name was not included on a list that includes Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel and Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton. A Trump adviser told CNN earlier Thursday Heisman-winning quarterback Tim Tebow would be speaking, but the former Denver Bronco later posted a Facebook video saying it was only a "rumor" -- though he did not unequivocally say that the rumor was false.
Anchorage is roughly 3,000 miles from Cleveland.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin’s enabler: Understanding the Republican frontrunner's fondness for Russia's strongman
lithuania-daily-life.jpg

Peas in a pod
(Mindaugas Kulbis/AP)
Garry Kasparov
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Thursday, July 21, 2016, 5:00 AM

It’s too easy to imagine the horror with which statesmen like Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan would view Donald Trump’s rampage through the GOP. I’d like to hear instead from the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the founding father of the Red Scare in the 1950s, or from his fellow redbaiter Richard Nixon.

I can imagine them waving a stack of papers and shouting, “I hold here in my hand a list of names of people at the highest levels of the Trump campaign who have worked for the Russian government under the direction of a former agent of the KGB!”

This charge would be entirely accurate, although it’s always been dubious that there is anything former at all about Vladimir Putin’s KGB status. It’s well-established that Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and two of Trump’s top advisers, Carter Page and Michael Flynn, have ties to Russia and the Kremlin.

Manafort worked for years as the chief political fixer for Viktor Yanukovych, Putin’s puppet ruler of Ukraine. Page used to work for Russian energy giant Gazprom and was recently in Moscow on Trump’s behalf to explain that America shouldn’t interfere in global affairs (especially Putin’s), talking points that come straight from Russian state-controlled TV. Trump himself has frequently praised Putin’s “strength” while suggesting that the two of them would get along very well.

INTERACTIVE FEATURE: See how the Daily News has covered Donald Trump's scandals for 30 years

Meanwhile, Putin’s giant global propaganda machine promoted Trump through the GOP primary and makes it quite apparent that Moscow would much prefer him to Hillary Clinton as President Obama’s replacement. What had been lacking until now was any tangible return on the Kremlin’s investment.

That changed last week when members of the Trump campaign worked with pro-Trump delegates to change a GOP platform amendment on American aid to Ukraine, which was invaded by Putin in 2014 and where Russian forces maintain a destabilizing conflict. The amendment originally followed the recommendation of nearly every top U.S. military and security official to “provide lethal defensive weapons” that would help Ukraine’s fragile democracy defend itself.

The Trump staff got the language changed to “appropriate assistance,” a meaningfully meaningless phrase that no doubt pleased Putin very much.

The change also aligned Trump’s position with that of Obama, who has made a foreign policy career of always doing just enough to look like he’s doing something while never doing enough to get anything done. Obama’s tepid response to the invasion of Ukraine — and to Russia’s genocidal campaign in Syria — hasn’t deterred Putin. Meanwhile, other dictators and would-be autocrats from Iran to Venezuela to Turkey are watching and learning.

Russia hackers steal DNC's Donald Trump opposition research

The idea that America has a vital role to play in promoting and defending democracy around the world has long been out of fashion in the Democratic Party. This was not always the case. Following in the footsteps of Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy, Sen. Henry (Scoop) Jackson inserted human rights into American foreign policy with legislation that tied trade to easing restrictions on emigration, especially for Soviet Jews.

In a 1972 speech on the Senate floor, Jackson said, “We can, and we must, keep the faith of our own highest traditions. We must not now, as we once did, acquiesce to tyranny while there are those, at greater risk than ourselves, who dare to resist.”

Reagan fulfilled Jackson’s sentiment, to the great jubilation of myself and hundreds of millions of others behind the Iron Curtain. Reagan’s strong moral stance also coincided with the rise of hyperpartisanship in Washington, D.C., meaning anything a Republican President was for, the Democrats were against, and vice versa, turning global human rights and democracy into just another political talking point.

Now, on the other side of the aisle, a neoisolationist consensus is forming, with Trump parroting “America First” drivel from the 1930s, which makes even less sense in today’s world of globalized economies and globalized terror. This head-in-the-sand approach is matched by Obama’s savvy understanding that action is always judged more harshly than inaction, especially while he’s in office.

The Iraq War accelerated the trend against intervention. Instead of learning lessons about how to do a better job of acting against terror-sponsoring tyrants, protecting civilian populations, and helping fragile freedoms and democracy to grow, the takeaway has been “never do anything.” Unsurprisingly, the power vacuum left by the U.S. has been filled by the thugs and terrorists who are growing only bolder.

An America in full global retreat is creating a backslide toward the great powers era of distrust, disunity and regional spheres of influence.

Yanukovych fled Ukraine in disgrace at the cost of many lives. Better still for Trump and his ilk: prevent would-be tyrants from grasping power in the first place.

Hail to the winners and the losers of the Republican National Convention

Whew, that’s over.

The Republican National Circus, er, Convention wrapped its four-day run in Cleveland on Thursday. And now that the dust has settled on it, there were winners and losers — and some straddle both categories.

WINNERS
Ted Cruz — He gave a good speech and didn’t fawn all over Donald Trump because he didn’t want to.

Stephen Colbert — He finally won his 11:30 p.m. timeslot as he went back to his political roots on “The Late Show.”

Chris Cuomo — He proved himself amazingly balanced and took great pains to hold people to facts.

Laura Benanti — Her Melania Trump impersonation on Colbert’s show was a Tina Fey as Sarah Palin moment — and Benanti nailed it.

Roksanda Ilincic — The Serbia-born, London-based designer made Melania Trump look great. Too bad the would-be First Lady had to open her mouth (with someone else’s words).

Helicopter manufacturers — Trump’s flight-o op as he arrived in Cleveland was designed to send two messages: Trump is the man - and rich boys need flying toys.

Tom Barrack— Trump's best friend (wait a second, he has a friend?) gave a singular non-political speech from the heart. He admitted he had nothing bad to say about Hillary Clinton — then talked about real-people values, not political "values."

Michelle Obama — She gave a speech so good that even Republicans were quoting it!

LOSERS
Ted Cruz — See above — but his “principled stand” left everyone knowing who he really cares about: Ted Cruz.

Meredith McIver — The Trump speechwriter owned up to cribbing from Obama’s 2008 DNC speech and offered her resignation, but Trump refused to say his famous, “You’re fired.” But she still goes down in history as the writer who merely typed.

Queen — The rockers didn't want “We Are the Champions” played at the RNC. But it got played anyway.

Chris Matthews — He asked Michael Che of “SNL” who is the reigning "funniest black guy.” He really did. Really awkward.

Reince Priebus — It's his party, but the chairman of the GOP should certainly cry, whether he wants to or not. If Trump doesn't win, he's presiding over the political party equivalent of Dresden after the war. If Trump wins, he's out of a job.

All of us — Now that "presumptive" nominee with the plan to “Make America Great” is now the actual nominee.

Your First Look At Donald Trump’s Version of ‘Law & Order’ (VIDEO)
By Meghan O'Keefe and Brian Maxwell Mann

July 22, 2016 // 2:10pm

Decider
Stream Law & Order

At last night’s 2016 Republican National Convention, Donald Trump made a bid to unite the Republican Party in his grand keynote speech. During the bleak speech, Trump declared that he was a voice for the silent and that he would restore “law and order” when he took office next January. In fact, he was very obsessed with this idea of “law and order.” He said the phrase so often we began to wonder whether or not he was actually stealthily pitching a reboot of the classic Dick Wolf procedural crime drama.

Law & Order still exists on NBC as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but its original iteration was canceled six years ago. Could this be the Law & Order Trump promised in his speech? Is he vowing to bring the original show – which provided so many New York City-based actors jobs — back to the Big Apple next year? Eh, probably not. Still, it’s fun to imagine what Donald Trump’s version of the show might look like. We’ve created some faux opening credits to give you an idea on what we’re missing out on. It’s Law & Order starring Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and a few more important figures in the modern Republican Party.

MB, I'm not so sure that statement is true. Funny. But, true?

I haven't researched it, but is there not some place in this country where some billionaire has purchased residential property supplemented, one way or another, by public dollars where the billionaire cleared the property and built some Taj Mahal of a development where he may have taken up residence, for some period of time? Sounds like something Mr. Orange has probably done himself. LOL.

Donald Trump’s black supporters say the David Duke-supported, Muslim ban-proposing, immigrant-bashing Republican nominee ‘isn’t racist’

Through it all, Trump insists he is "the least racist person" around — and some black people have even bought it.

“If you really look at the facts, he's trying to promote policies that would help black people," said Dequan Shelton, 20, a music producer from Queens.

"He's saying things like, 'Let's send the illegal immigrants back.' What that is going to do is open up more jobs for the black community.”

Zero percent of African Americans support Donald Trump in the battleground states of Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls.

And last week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland drew fewer black delegates and speakers than any in two decades, with one party count estimating that only 80 of the 2,472 GOP delegates were black.

One of those black delegates — Willie Dove, of Kansas — was inside the Quicken Loans Arena to hear Trump talk about crime and black unemployment, and how the nation's first black president failed the African-American community.

"I don't think there's anything he's said that is racist," Dove said.

"He has said things that people with other agendas have construed as racist. A guy like Trump, you don't get to where you are by being a racist. I don't think it's about doing things for the black community, because if you're doing things for the U.S. you're doing things for the black community."

California delegate Jonathan Husar, 26, is used to getting heat from his peers for his unabashed support for Trump.

On social media, he’s bombarded by messages asking how he could vote for “such a bigot.”

“People tell me I am a traitor to the black community,” Husar said.

Despite the backlash, Husar isn’t wavering.

“He's not a bigot,” he said of Trump. “He'll create jobs for everyone.”

Trump has made efforts — even if symbolic — to reach out to the black community, appointing reality TV star Omarosa Manigault as his director of African-American Outreach.

Manigault didn’t return a request for comment. But in an interview at the Cleveland convention, she claimed Trump was misunderstood.

“He takes heat on racial issues but he is certainly not a racist,” she told the local ABC affiliate. “I just think that people don't see him as a real person, they see him as a caricature, a cartoon character, too,” she added. "He's a real person. He has a sense of humor. He's very caring.”

Perhaps no black person was more enthusiastic about a Trump White House than the Rev. Darrell Scott, a Cleveland pastor, whose stem-winding endorsement electrified the crowd.

"I don't care if 99% don't support him," Scott told the Daily News after the speech. "I support him. And you know what, those polls ask for people who publicly support him. There's a very large number of African-Americans who support him privately."

If that is true, critics warn, they do so at their own peril.

"We know better," Rashad Robinson, spokesman for Color of Change, a black Political Action Committee, said in a statement after Trump's acceptance speech.

Robinson noted that Trump was demanding to see President Obama’s birth certificate five years ago — and had previously called for the executions of the Central Park Five.

“Tonight America got to see exactly what a Trump presidency would mean for black people — denial of justice, denial of peace,” Robinson added. “It's not black protesters, or the first black president, who are dividing America — it is the bigotry of Donald Trump."

But Trump’s African-American cheerleaders aren’t moved by such arguments.

"He says what a lot of people are thinking and afraid to say," said Barbara Myrick, 65, of Plainfield, N.J.

"I speak my mind, too, whether you like it or not. That's how he is. You make enemies and you make friends. Some people don't want to hear the truth. They prefer to be lied to."

Dana London, 58, worked for Trump for several years after being hired as a card dealer at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City in 1989.

She hailed Trump as a big-hearted businessman who often donated food to a nearby soup kitchen and always embraced black people.

"I would say 30% of the people at his opening for the Taj Mahal were African-American," London said. "Randall Cunningham had his wedding at the Taj. We had Patti LaBelle on a regular basis. And when that singer Jennifer Hudson's family members were murdered, he put them up in a penthouse suite free of charge.

"If he was such a racist, he wouldn't have all those people showing up and associating with him," she said.

"I get a lot of backlash,” London added, “but I'm voting with my conscience.”

Ex-congressman Weiner riles up Trump Jr. after saying he would ‘beat him like a rented mule’:roflmao2: in potential mayoral match-up

The 38-year-old responded quickly to Weiner, who resigned his congressional seat after he was caught up in an online love affair and sexting scandal.

"Too soon Anthony!!! You probably shouldn't be talking about beating anything ever again," Trump Jr. tweeted. "Go back to your cave."

Trump Jr. has repeatedly said he's weighing his options when it comes to the possibility of a political future.

"As my father has always said, I want to- we always like to keep our options open," he told CNN last week. "So if I can do that as a service to our country I'd love to do it."

The businessman's bombastic billionaire father used the opportunity to dispel rumors about his son eyeing a run and to blast Weiner.

"Donald Trump Jr. has no intention of running for mayor of New York, but I was the one who predicted that Anthony Weiner would flame out and not be able to run for mayor," Trump said in a statement. "People were amazed at how insightful I was."

Weiner, who was at the Democratic National convention in Philadelphia Tuesday, ran for mayor in 2005 and again in 2013, after resigning from Congress.

Trump has a history of roasting Weiner, whose wife Huma Abedin, is a top adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Politicians who call government 'public service' are a disgrace

Trump accused Abedin last August of passing information to her husband, calling Weiner "a perv" and "one of the great sleazebags of our time."

Trump, who has made no effort to hide contributions he has made to campaigns on both sides of the aisle, gave $2,000 to Weiner's 2010 bid for reelection to Congress.

"I know Anthony Weiner for a long time," Trump said last year at a rally in Massachusetts. "I knew before they caught him with the bing bing bing, and he was a bad guy then. It turns out he was a really bad guy."

BLAME GAME BACKFIRES: Trump spokeswoman says Obama, Hillary Clinton are at fault for Humayun Khan's 2004 death — but soldier died under Bush command

Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson blames Capt. Humayun Khan’s 2004 death on President Obama, Hillary Clinton
NICOLE HENSLEY
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Updated: Wednesday, August 3, 2016, 6:14 AM

Donald Trump flack Katrina Pierson blamed Humayun Khan’s death on Hillary Clinton and President Obama — even though the soldier died during the George W. Bush administration.

Contrary to Pierson’s erroneous statement on CNN Tuesday night, the U.S. Army captain was killed during a suicide bombing in Iraq in 2004, five years before Obama assumed the presidency.

“It was under Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that changed the rules of engagement that probably cost his life,” said Pierson, alluding to the 2009 order tightening restrictions on when troops can engage in combat.

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson suggested Capt. Humayun Khan died because of President Obama and Hillary Clinton.
(FOX NEWS)
The statement surfaced during a contentious back-and-forth with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on whether her Republican nominee boss should apologize to Khizr Khan forinsulting his son’s legacy, as wellas his wife.

STASI: Dictator Donald Trump has gone crazy

Pierson argued that her billionaire boss should be exempt from apologizing because he “never voted for the Iraq War.”

“Hillary Clinton did,” Pierson added. “And then she didn’t support the troops to have what they need.”

The interview ended seconds after Pierson’s claim with Blitzer thanking the Trump campaign spokeswoman for joining him on “The Situation Room.”

He returned minutes later to clarify Pierson’s remarks.

Veteran-mocking Trump admitted he lacked ‘the guts’ to serve

“Captain Khan died in service in Iraq in 2004, five years before President Obama took office,” Blitzer added. “President Bush was then President of the United States. Just want to fact check that.”

Later on CNN, Anderson Cooper asked fallen soldier’s father to comment on Pierson’s allegation.

“Do I need to say anything?” Khizr Khan said. “Lack of understanding, lack of factual correctness, it’s just nothing but political vote pandering.”

Pierson’s historical liberty inspired a series of hot takes on Twitter under the hashtag#KatrinaPiersonHistory, blaming Obama for the Hindenberg explosion, JFK assassination and breaking up The Beatles.

Even Christie and Giuliani say Trump should've backed off Khans

It conjured memories of the “Thanks, Obama,” meme, which was used to blame the President for personal problems of minor consequence.

Trump Spokeswoman Blames Obama For Cpt. Khan’s Death: She Forgot One Important Thing (VIDEO)


Posted by Christian Drake on 02 Aug 2016



fi-3.jpg

Katrina Pierson, Donald Trump’s most clueless spokesperson, just ensured she won’t have much of a political future after Trump loses, judging by the disastrous interview she just gave on CNN.


lg.php
pixel_match

Wolf Blitzer was talking with her about Donald Trump’s recent attack on the Muslim parents of a dead Iraq war hero. Outside of the usual offensive and extremely stupid nonsense that Katrina says on TV, she said something so dumb that not even Trump himself could spin it in a way that didn’t look embarrassing for him.

Special: Forget Diets & Gym Workouts - Here's Something You Can Stick To.
i.gif

Katrina was trying to justify Trump’s attacks on the Captain Khan’s parents when they spoke out against his Islamophobic bigotry during the most powerful speech of the DNC. Wolf pointed out that Trump should have just praised the family, and their son, for the sacrifices made by them on behalf of the nation, and left it at that.

Katrina was having none of that. She actually suggested that Trump was right to attack them because he didn’t vote for the Iraq war. As if THAT has anything to do with anything. Then, she went fully stupid. Katrina tried the old strategy of BLAME OBAMA. It always worked in the past, so why not now? Let me tell you why not …

Barack Obama was not even president when Captain Khan was killed in action in 2004.
There’s not much more to say. Regular words don’t really capture the essence of how dumb this is. Barack Obama owns a time machine, and after getting elected in 2008, he went back to 2004 and caused the death of a U.S. soldier. Trump says so, so it must be true.








Bandele Ganiyu1 day ago (edited)
HUH? Barack Obama was not in office in 2004 when Capt Khan died you dumb bint that was George W. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz. By the way Hillary voted for diplomacy and to continue the inspections Bush tacked on the war vote at the last minute he said it would give the inspections leverage...Bush lied...he invaded Iraq before diplomacy and/or the inspectors finished their tasks..and she wasn't the only one who got bamboozled... Deflecting to Hillary has nothing to do with what Donald Trump did by disrespecting a gold star family and lying about the Vietnam War memorial...This chick never sticks to the topic. Besides Katrina is a shoplifter...a crook.

Fact checking is not important in the Trump camp it seems. A 10 second goggle search shows Humayuna Khan death happened in 2004, that's under Bush. What a stupid twat.
