Trump commenting at length about Cohen and Stormy and the NDA


"Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are....."

"...very common among celebrities and people of wealth. In this case it is in full force and effect and will be used in Arbitration for damages against Ms. Clifford (Daniels). The agreement was used to stop the false and extortionist accusations made by her about an affair,......"

"...despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction."

So who's ghostwriting with his twitter account? It's clearly not Trump who wrote any of that at all. Seriously.

Was the misspelling of role in the third tweet deliberate, to give the impression that the President may have written it ;)

I don't think it is that clear cut. Using the word "explicit" suggests to me an action or statement that unambiguously supports the assertion. While I have absolutely no doubt that Trump holds racist views, I don't think his words and deeds rise to the level of "unambiguous" but I can also see why others might hold a different view.

Is this semantic nitpick really worth the time?

This article asserts probability virtually assures campaign funds were used to “structure” reimbursement payments.

That's interesting. I would have thought FEC records needed to be more specific than that.

But on another note, if it was paid to an LLC or even through more than one LLC then maybe Cohen was not defrauding the bank after all and he was outright lying about a loan against his home equity.
The timing was particularly suspect. The final of the five payments was on Oct. 25, one day before Michael Cohen was notified by his bank that $130,000 was in his account, ready to be transferred to Daniels.

Intentional FEC rules fraud must be worse than just losing track of funds coming and going or accidentally breaking a rule.

A bit missed in the Rudy interview last night: He defended Ivanka Trump and said the public would never back Mueller coming after her while calling Jared Kushner "disposable."

Rudy says this because Trump expects Jared to be indicted, so his aides must prepare the nation for Trump jettisoning him. By comparison, Mueller has kept close to the vest any leads on Ivanka because he knows—and Rudy here implies—that they'll get him fired when they go public.

2/ Ivanka was investigated for fraudulent statements on Trump SoHo; was involved in a Panama project among whose colorful figures was a suspicious Russian investor; has gone to Moscow for her dad and has befriended Putin agents the Agalarovs; she has her dad's ear and vice versa.

3/ It's beyond reasonable to expect Ivanka will eventually be a witness in the Trump-Russia investigation—if she's not already dimed out her father behind the scenes—because his conversations with her aren't privileged and it's nearly certain he keeps her apprised of his schemes.

4/ What Giuliani did was shoot across Mueller's bow on Ivanka: not—to be clear—because she's daddy's little girl and so, out of family loyalty, Trump has made her involvement in the Trump-Russia probe a "red line," but because there's reason to think her testimony could sink him.

5/ Unless the policy of the NYT is to only gin up "red lines" they themselves concocted out of thin air and then packaged to U.S. media consumers as "news," both the NYT and other media will soon talk about the "Ivanka red line" as having been teased by Trump's attorney Giuliani.

I'd never heard of him before, but I see that according to Wikipedia he's The White House Director of Social Media and Assistant to the President.

Yet he can't spell "role" properly.

It's amazing how many people, on that thought of a ghost-writer, think that it was put there on purpose to make people think it was actually The PDJT that wrote it.
 
Trump's brand

You really know the value of your brand when the residents of a building successfully petition the courts to remove your name. Goodbye Trump Place.

I have to wonder how long other properties will keep his name especially if he is impeached.

I wasn't particularly expecting this - mostly because I thought everyone had long known that he was a bigoted and untalented conman.

Its happened several times...

From: https://slate.com/business/2018/05/...f-giant-golden-trump-letters-judge-rules.html
In New York , the condo board of Trump Place, which once paid Trump $1 to use his name—in big, gold letters—has decided there is significant interest in ditching the moniker (which has already come down from several neighboring properties). [Note: still needs approval from the tenants]
...
Trump’s name has already come off hotels in Toronto (by mutual agreement) and Panama City (where a small war has been waged between the Trump Organization and the owners of the yonic seaside palace that bore his name).

It gets even worse for the Trump brand. From: https://www.racked.com/2018/4/13/17234014/trump-brand-licensing-business
Three years ago, there were as many as 19 companies making Trump-branded merchandise. Today, only two — one in Panama and one in Turkey — are producing Trump products.

I guess some people and companies don't want to be associated with a racist orangutan. Go figure.
 
Speaking at the National Day of Prayer trump said

"We know that in solving the many, many problems in our great challenges, faith is more powerful than government - and NOTHING is more powerful than God."

And the Lord spoke unto the assembled and commanded them to go forth and grab them by the pussy.
