Thread: President Donald Trump

^ Following on ...

“Madeleine Westerhout, who left her White House job suddenly on Thursday as President Trump’s personal assistant, was fired after bragging to reporters that she had a better relationship with Trump than his own daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and that the president did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight,” Politico reported.

President Donald Trump‘s run in the 2020 election is bound to be highly contested, and it seems one of his adult children won’t be playing a role in it.
Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, is “not expected to play any role in the campaign, apart from appearing at the occasional event,” according to Politico.

“Members of the Trump family are valued advisors and integral parts of the campaign,” a rep for Trump’s 2020 campaign tells PEOPLE in response to Politico‘s report. “Their input and involvement were key to victory in 2016 and will be so again in 2020.”


Tiffany, 25, is the only child of Trump’s marriage to Marla Maples, which lasted from 1993 to 1999.

I think it's a combination of Putin having enough filth on him to destroy him, and enough evidence of financial crime to jail him.

This one appears to have slipped under the radar:

Trump has recently urged the Army Corps to award a contract to a company he favors, North Dakota-based Fisher Industries, though the firm has not been selected. Fisher has been aggressively pushed by Trump ally Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who briefly held up the confirmation of a Trump budget office nominee last month in an attempt to put pressure on the Army Corps.
Cramer demanded to see the contracts awarded to Fisher’s competitors, lashing out at the “arrogance” of the Army Corps in emails to military officials after he was told the bidding process involved proprietary information that could not be shared. The CEO of Fisher Industries is a major backer of Cramer and has donated to his campaigns.

"In other words, Trump is pressuring a government agency to give a contract for his wall to a company whose chief executive is a donor to one of his top GOP allies in Congress."

Trump extends his congratulations to Poland on the 80th anniversary of being invaded by Nazi Germany. WTF? His ignorance is astounding.

That's the very usual wording nowadays, the Nazis came obviously from NaziLand (or Mars?).

Then, the Frau Merkel can have been invited to celebrate the Victory over Nazis, not over Germans... (Whilst modestly forget to invite the ones who won the War...)

Still getting it wrong after so many years . . . making fun of Trump (rightfully) yet saying Poland was "smashed by Nazis" . . . Poland was 'smashed' by the German Army. Nazis were members of the national socialist workers party and some were in the armed forces.

Quibbles.

The point is that Poland was invaded by a neighbouring country. Offering congratulations to the country that was invaded is odd at best, but more likely an indicator of Trump's declining faculties.

Check TC, See who'd giggling like a kid.

Actually, I was thinking more on this year celebration of D-Day where missing was the leader of the nation that with its results on the other side of the Europe has sped up the D-Day - on a better weather could no longer be waited if taking part in the Berlin racing...

Perhaps he means it deserves to.

If you asked a veteran of WW2 who he was fighting he would have said Nazis.

Even if if they were fighting the Japanese?

Well if anyone was going to ask a dumb question...

Most Americans are aware we fought WW2 on two fronts...

Had 2 uncles in ww2. Always used the term fucking Krauts but they were Canucks.
