President Donald Trump

sympathy? FFS, with regard to his racism, she's enabled him to such an extent that she's complicit....she was all in on his birther crap.

and she knew for years that he was fcuking around on her (separate bedrooms before election) but didn't leave him because the lifestyle was great.

and her hypocrisy on immigration is breathtaking.

Your lack of knowledge about American history is once again glaringly obvious. Trump was never an icon in his 20s. Maybe you forgot about Ronald Regan.

Trump going it alone. Dispenses with the adults in the room.
It really does seem to me he's preparing the ground for a tyrant. If not now then later.

From North Korea to Kim Kardashian, the US president has dispensed with the ‘adults in the room’ and is going it alone

Such a photograph would, it is fair to assume, have been beyond the most delirious, hallucinatory imaginings of a tropical fever patient five years ago. Donald Trump sits at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office with hands folded and a broad grin. To his right, dressed in black, stands an unsmiling Kim Kardashian West, a reality TV superstar catapulted to fame a decade ago by a sex tape.

“‘I broke the Internet.’ ‘I broke the country!’” parodied Comedy Central’s the Daily Show in response. The journalist Tom Gara of BuzzFeed News tweeted: “It’s amazing that the most powerful person in the world is just taking casual meetings with Trump like this.” And as preparations continue for talks with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, the NBC correspondent Peter Alexander posted: “The other Kim summit.”

Trump himself tweeted simply that it was a “great meeting” at which they “talked about prison reform and sentencing”, glazing over Kardashian’s somewhat dubious qualifications as a White House policy guru. But then, the 45th US president appears to have dispensed with expertise or a trusted inner circle. The doors of his Oval Office have been thrown open to the national security adviser one minute, a famous face from Keeping Up with the Kardashians the next.

I think we’ve got a fuller picture of it now. He’s not a president who thinks he needs anybody
As Trump approaches 500 days in office, unleashing a daily barrage of remarks, tweets, insults, pardons and threats, teeing up a global trade war and chasing an on-off-on meeting with Kim, the restraints are off and the fabled “adults in the room” appear scarcer than ever. It is, critics say, not so much a team of rivals as a team of one. Donald Trump.

Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, said: “I think we’ve got a fuller picture of it now. He’s not a president who thinks he needs anybody. This is the ‘I’ presidency. You hear it in every speech and see it in every tweet: it’s always about himself. As in all things, his presidency will rise and fall on his own efforts.”

Once it was thought that rival White House factions would compete to shape the Trump presidency. But talk of a fight to the death between the “globalist-Goldman Sachs” wing and the “populist-nationalist” wing has faded into the background noise of individual egos. It’s now a war of all against all, multiple media reports suggest. A feud between the treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, and the trade adviser Peter Navarro, for example, is said to have erupted in a shouting match last month on the sidelines of trade talks in China.

According to the Axios website, Kelly Sadler, who had made a derogatory comment about the ailing senator John McCain, told Trump in front of colleagues that she thought her boss, Mercedes Schlapp, was one of the worst leakers in the White House. Schlapp “pushed back aggressively” and defended herself as the president looked on, Axios said.

Steele commented: “He gets almost a sadistic pleasure watching his staff form up camps, go after each other, tear each other down. What he did not expect from his business background was the leaks. There was one agenda at Trump Tower; there is not one agenda at the White House. What he’s learned is that people come into it with their own agenda. But by and large he gets his kicks from watching the staff behave like children on a playground.”

The list of departures is long and includes his communications director Hope Hicks, likened to a surrogate daughter, and his chief strategist Steve Bannon, likened to Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII. Neither has been replaced. “He’s his own communications director; that job is still vacant,” Steele added. “He’s his own chief strategist: he goes by his gut. He’s his own policy person: again he goes by his gut.”

In the past week alone, that gut instinct has led Trump to: slap hefty steel and aluminum tariffs on allies Canada, the European Union and Mexico, risking a global trade war; abruptly reinstate the Kim summit in Singapore on 12 June while saying, “I don’t want to use the term ‘maximum pressure’ any more”; accuse the New York Times of making up a source when in fact it was quoting a White House official who briefed numerous reporters; make 35 claims that were untrue at a rally in Nashville, according to a Washington Post count; declare that he wished he chose someone other than Jeff Sessions as attorney general; insist that he did not fire the FBI director James Comey over the Russia investigation, despite having admitted doing so in a TV interview, and continue to push his baseless “spygate” theory; and react to comedian Roseanne Barr’s racist joke with self-pity rather than condemnation.

This is the first president in my memory who only listens to people who agree with him. I think it’s gotten worse
Then there was the curious episode of a presidential pardon for the conservative author and film-maker Dinesh D’Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to violating federal campaign finance laws (and who once referred to Barack Obama as a “boy” from the “ghetto” ). The president also ruminated about pardons for the former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and the TV personality Martha Stewart, both of whom had links to his show The Apprentice. It was widely speculated that he is sending a signal to aides questioned by the special Counsel Robert Mueller: stay loyal and all will be forgiven.

Typically a chief of staff would be expected to intervene and save a president from himself. John Kelly, who succeeded Reince Priebus in the job, never had much control over Trump’s Twitter finger and is now seen as a diminished force who no longer has the president’s ear. Even Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, seems a bit-part player these days.

By contrast, the newest faces in the West Wing have a reputation for reaffirming Trump and making him feel good about himself. His national security adviser, John Bolton, economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani seem to indulge rather than check their boss’s impulses.

Bob Shrum, a 74-year-old Democratic strategist, said: “This is the first president in my memory, including Richard Nixon, who only listens to people who agree with him. I think it’s gotten worse. If there’s any change, it’s in the direction of impulsive, unilateral, unconsidered decision making.”

Giuliani, a septuagenarian, thrice married New Yorker prone to incoherent interviews, and who has been working overtime to discredit Mueller, seems a natural fit. He and Trump are, the satirist John Oliver observed, “basically two versions of the same person.”

Gwenda Blair, a Trump biographer, said: “Trump is a salesman and now he has a deputy salesman. He doesn’t regard Giuliani as a rival; Giuliani is there specifically because he can get headlines and attention. Now Trump has two distraction machines: two spinning tops are much better than one. It doesn’t matter if they contradict themselves because they get two headlines.”

Trump’s management style is familiar from his decades as a chief executive in the cut-throat Manhattan property world, Blair added. “It’s what he always did: he’s the hub of the wheel and everyone else is a spoke. He sets everyone against each other and without overlapping duties so their only loyalty is to him. It’s constant upheaval: first someone is up, then they’re in the doghouse. He loves them and then he fires them. It’s what he’s done his whole career.”

She observed: “If you’re named Trump, you’re probably pretty safe, although there have been a couple of wives thrown under the bus.”

Chipping away.

Donald Trump and the erosion of democratic norms in America
For some, the president’s efforts to undermine the justice department and the Mueller investigation represent a threat to democracy

In recent weeks, Trump has escalated his war on his perceived foes in the DoJ, which hosts the office of special counsel Robert Mueller.

Ask people with deep knowledge of the US justice department about the damage Donald Trump might be doing to the country, and the conversation quickly flips back to Watergate.

Following Richard Nixon’s failed attempt to pull the plug on a special prosecutor who turned out to be on to something, the need for investigators to work free from White House interference was recognized by the public and reinforced by elected officials.

Donald Trump says North Korea summit on 12 June is back on

But now Trump is president, the public can seem apathetic or amnesiac and the norms governing justice department independence are being tested. Severely.

In interviews, two former assistant attorneys general, law professors and analysts from across the political spectrum used recurring words to describe Trump’s assault on justice: “dangerous”, “alarming”, “high-stakes”.

Some analysts warn that national security has also been endangered, as Trump has undermined public trust in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and intelligence agencies whose work is often conducted in secret and who therefore depend uniquely on such trust to function.

The question is whether Trump’s snips and snaps at the norms of justice department independence represent some greater dislocation: a constitutional crisis of some kind or even an erosion of the rule of law in America, as some commentators have posited.

In recent weeks, Trump has escalated his war on his perceived foes in the Department of Justice (DoJ), which hosts the office of special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating alleged collusion between Moscow and Trump campaign officials.

That investigation, Trump has informed his Twitter followers, is the work of a “criminal deep state” engaged in a “WITCH HUNT” originally engineered by none other than Barack Obama.

If the Trump-supporting public is bothered by that kind of freewheeling conspiracy talk, there’s little sign of it. The president’s average approval rating is hovering close to 42%, pretty good for him. But others are deeply bothered by Trump’s seemingly nonstop provocations directed at the FBI, the attorney general, the intelligence apparatus and other DoJ agencies.

On Thursday, Trump casually granted a pardon to the race-baiting conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to campaign finance charges. The pardon was taken as a potential signal to former associates not to “flip” and cooperate with federal prosecutors – because even if they are convicted, a pardon may be waiting.

In an interview aboard Air Force One, the president mentioned he was considering pardoning other boldface names with “unfair” convictions.

“We’ve never had a president attack the intelligence and law enforcement agencies that work for him in this way,” Jack Goldsmith, a Harvard law professor and former assistant attorney general under George W Bush, said in an email. “He’s attacking them in order to discredit the Mueller investigation. But the baleful impact on those agencies’ morale and on public trust in them unfortunately extends far beyond that investigation.”

While whispers of a “constitutional crisis” are in the air, many mainstream analyses reject that idea, pointing out among other things that the Mueller investigation continues full steam ahead, no matter how much Trump might whine about it. The bad news is that it doesn’t take a constitutional crisis to constitute a national emergency, said Eric Posner, a University of Chicago professor specializing in constitutional law.

“I think the problem with thinking about this in terms of crisis is that we should be concerned about what Trump is doing whether or not there ever is a crisis,” Posner said. “It’s perfectly possible, for example, that Trump could undermine Mueller’s investigation without causing a constitutional crisis.

You could slide into an authoritarian regime without a real crisis ever taking place
Eric Posner, University of Chicago
“I think what people are worried about, when you look at other countries that have slid into authoritarianism, what has happened is that the leaders of those countries have proceeded incrementally, and so when he does some things initially that people didn’t resist, that enhances his power. Once he has more power he can do more things, take more action.

“And you could slide into an authoritarian regime without a real crisis ever taking place, and I think that’s what people should be focusing on.”

‘Things subtly changing’
Shortly after Trump’s election, Amy Siskind, a former Wall Street executive, started a website called The Weekly List, seeking to catalogue news stories documenting “eroding norms under the current regime”.

The site, which Siskind said gets up to a million visitors a week and which this year produced a book blurbed by current Trump target Samantha Bee, bears this tagline: “Experts in authoritarianism advise to keep a list of things subtly changing around you, so you’ll remember.”

“At my book events, again and again, people tell me ‘you’re keeping me sane’,” Siskind said. “There’s such an effort at gaslighting, that this is not happening. Then at the end of the week people are able to sit down and read all the things that happened.”

Two recent Trump provocations have proven particularly incendiary. First, he cooperated with Republican congressman Devin Nunes and others in a campaign that led to the disclosure of the identity of an FBI informant. Then, Trump ordered the justice department to investigate its own investigation – of him.

“I hereby demand,” Trump tweeted, “that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DoJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes – and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”

David Kris, founder of Culper Partners consulting firm and a former assistant attorney general under Obama, warned that Trump’s continued assault on norms of justice department independence rose to the level of a threat to the rule of law.

“None of what we’re seeing in my view is at all normal and a lot of it is very dangerous,” said Kris.

“The norm of apolitical law enforcement, and the norm of intelligence activity under law, including honest bipartisan congressional oversight, as well as basic norms like conflict of interest and the White House staying out of particular investigations – all are essential elements of the even more fundamental value of the rule of law,” Kris said. “Which is itself essential to any modern functioning democracy. So the stakes are very high.”

Goldsmith, who has diagnosed and debunked ‘The Cycles of Panicked Reactions To Trump’, said that “there are bad things going on in our country” but that the infrastructure of justice was holding up so far.

“Despite Trump’s onslaught, his political appointees, all of whom he could fire, have continued to support the Mueller investigation fully and the investigation carries on to Trump’s intense displeasure,” Goldsmith wrote. “That is an amazing testament to justice department’s independence.

Trump has certainly violated norms, but whether they erode will depend on what happens after Trump leaves
Jack Goldsmith, Harvard Law
“As for norms eroding, Trump has certainly violated norms, but whether they erode will depend on what happens after Trump leaves.”

The question of the elasticity of norms – will they bounce back or are they forever dented? – is one that occupies Kris and others.

“I think the answer depends a lot on what happens next,” Kris said. “I think we can count on President Trump to keep pushing as hard and as long as he can to do what he believes is in his self-interest regardless of these norms. And if in hindsight it is perceived that he ended badly in part because of that, then others will be deterred from using the same tactics in the future and we may even see a strengthening of some of these norms.

“This is what happened after President Nixon’s misconduct in Watergate, the rule of law and independent norms were strengthened.

“On the other hand, if Trump continues to profit, and is perceived in hindsight as having benefited from these quite radical norm violations, then we can expect future holders of the highest office of the land to engage in the sincerest form of flattery available.

“It depends, in short, on how this comes out. We’re engaged right now in a very high-stakes experiment.”

Meet Felix Sater: the business partner Donald Trump wants nothing to do with

President Donald Trump-9816140-3x2-700x467-jpg

President Donald Trump-9816140-3x2-700x467-jpg

For close to 20 years, Felix Sater lived a double life.
A brash real estate developer and longtime associate of the Trump organisation, he was doing deals in Donald Trump's
name during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Sater was also secretly working as an informant and asset for multiple US intelligence and law enforcement agencies,
helping track down and catch mafia gangsters, cyberhackers and terrorists.

In his own words, Sater was "building Trump Towers by day and hunting Bin Laden by night".

Four Corners travelled to New York to speak with Sater about his business dealings with Mr Trump, which are now part
of special prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Sater claims he is just an ordinary man who has lived an extraordinary life.
"In 20 years I've done a variety of many different things with the US government, both with Department of
Justice, CIA, FBI, Secret Service," he said.

"Sometimes very common people wind up in very uncommon situations."

Among the cast of unusual characters in Mr Trump's orbit, Sater's story stands out. Recently unsealed court
documents co-signed by former President Barack Obama's attorney-general Loretta Lynch validate his incredible tale.

"[Felix Sater] provided … information crucial to national security and the conviction of over 20 individuals —
including those responsible for committing massive financial fraud and members of La Cosa Nostra … he passed on
specific information about key leaders in Al Qaeda and affiliated groups, including information that could help the
United States locate those individuals," the documents read.

Sater's family emigrated to the US from Russia when he was seven years old.
He grew up near Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, New York City, an area notorious for its concentration of Mafia
gangsters and Russian mobsters.
At 18, Sater worked for Wall Street trading firm Bear Stearns.

In 1991 in a bar fight, Sater attacked another man with a broken margarita glass.
The victim needed more than 100 stitches and 25-year-old Sater was convicted of assault.

After 15 months behind bars and no longer legally able to operate as a broker, Sater participated in a
multi-million-dollar stock fraud.

'Everybody's got a guy'
He denies being a mobster but says there was a time in his life when he became entangled with organised crime.

"As we used to say growing up, 'everybody's got a guy'," he told Four Corners.

"There was an incident in my life they were involved in but that doesn't make me mob linked."

As part of a deal with the Justice Department, he avoided jail time for the stock fraud by becoming an asset for US
law enforcement.
Sater claims his work for the US government had already begun.

"Everyone says that I did it to get out of jail.
That's not true, I did it before anything ever happened," he said.

Trump biographer Tim O'Brien questions the deal struck by Sater.
"He would have gone to jail but for the fact that Felix had a lot of interesting information that the US government
wanted," he said.

"The interesting thing about that is how did Felix get that information and where did he get it?
Felix had gone back to Russia, had gone to Moscow and obviously had contacts somewhere in the Russian government,
where he was able to get not only credible, but actionable information."

O'Brien and Sater have history. In 2009 Sater testified as a witness for Mr Trump in his long-running $5 billion libel
lawsuit against O'Brien.

Mr Trump had alleged O'Brien had deliberately underestimated the businessman's net worth in his 2005 book,
Trump Nation.

Mr Trump eventually lost that lawsuit in 2011.

Sater assisted authorities for another two decades. The 52-year-old told Four Corners one of his first missions was
tracking down missing Stinger missiles. In the late 1990s he went as far as helping the US government track Osama bin Laden.

"Not only did I contribute to finding his location, I delivered his satellite phone numbers which we used to then listen in on him.

Subsequently President Bill Clinton used the coordinates off those satellite phone numbers to home in and authorise the bombing
of his camps in I believe it was '98," he said.

The Trump deals

In 2000, while his work for US authorities continued, Sater joined a real estate company called Bayrock. He set up offices in Trump Tower, two floors below Mr Trump.
"I decided to stop and knock on his door and tell him that we should start doing business together. I walked in and told him
I'm going to be the biggest developer in New York City and you should get in now before it's too late," he said.

"He laughed and introduced me to some of his staff and before you know it we started working together."

Multiple bankruptcies had made it difficult for Mr Trump to secure capital for his development projects from traditional
Wall Street lenders.

Sater arrived with Russian connections exactly as Mr Trump started aggressively targeting Russian customers for his real
estate ventures.
"They end up pursuing three deals together. A real estate project in Phoenix that fails. A project in Florida that fails.
Then ultimately the Trump Soho in Manhattan, which opens to great fanfare but also ultimately fails," O'Brien said.

It's these deals, in particular Trump Soho, and allegations of laundered Russian money that Mr Mueller is now believed
to be looking at closely.
"It's clear that this is now part of Mueller's investigation. There's a clear issue as to whether or not Donald Trump had
financial quid pro quos where in his business past he did favours or had relationships for people that were tied into
foreign powers, who might benefit from Trump making policy changes," O'Brien said.

Trump Soho was foreclosed on in 2014. Sater denies any wrongdoing.

Donald Trump has said he barely knows Felix Sater

Despite their obvious close working relationship, on multiple occasions Mr Trump has said he barely knows Sater.
In a sworn deposition in 2013, the future President said "if he [Sater] was sitting in the room right now I really wouldn't
know what he looked like".

When Four Corners questioned Sater about Mr Trump's refusal to acknowledge their business relationship, he said the subject
made him uncomfortable.
"You should ask him. I don't speak for him," Sater said.

O'Brien said the US President simply doesn't want to admit what he knows about Sater.
"It raises the question of why Donald Trump as a business person would get into bed with partners like that.
I don't think he thought a lot of these things would ever come to light," he said.

Diplomacy and development in Moscow

Sater continued working with Mr Trump, including during the presidential campaign in 2015, when he and Mr Trump's personal
lawyer, Michael Cohen, began work on new plans for a Trump Tower in Moscow.

In a November email to Mr Cohen, Sater wrote "… buddy, our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it.
I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this."

In late 2015 Mr Trump signed a letter of intent outlining the terms of the licensing agreement for Trump Tower Moscow.
Sater went so far as to try to get the then US presidential candidate to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin in Moscow for
the building's launch.

"We were hoping that he would go for the ribbon cutting of the project, and we would try to get both him and Putin on
stage for the ribbon cutting," he said.

In the end, the deal went nowhere. Pressure was growing on the Trump campaign over his overseas business deals and
Mr Trump publicly distanced himself from any association with Russia.

So where has this left Sater? A man who has been many things in his 52 years: a stockbroker, a criminal, a real estate developer, an intelligence asset and a hunter of terrorists.

For now, he remains at the centre of the biggest story of the century, with Mr Mueller circling.
"It feels stranger than anything you can ever imagine. It's just wild. You wake up in the morning, you look in the mirror and say, 'Wow, is this really happening?'"

"All I wanted to do was build the tallest building in Europe and make a tonne of money. If I could have gotten Trump and Putin on the same stage at the ribbon cutting, what a home run.

"How was I supposed to know that those emails [to Michael Cohen] would put me into the biggest political controversy since Watergate."

For the record, Sater said he doesn't believe Mr Trump colluded with any foreign powers.

"I just wish that the investigation concludes properly, honestly, fairly, after everything has been figured out.
It's my hope that somebody that I know and worked with did not collude and certainly I hope that that's the result," he said.
