The Trump Presidency VII

At this stage I fear it would enhance his popularity. The racists will openly applaud it, and many more may not be happy but will "respect" his plain speaking :mad:
Sadly, I have to agree.
Every Trumpster I know (with a single exception) would view that as a plus. The discussion would quickly pivot to one about the "unfairness" of "not being 'allowed' to say ****** whilst it is a word so frequently used in black culture".

My whole family and my best friend voted for Trump. They're mostly decent folks, my mother notices race more than she ought, but tries not to be racist.

Was mighty disappointed with my friend. Didn't think he'd go that way.

Did they vote for Trump because they really wanted Trump to be President? Or they just hated Hillary? Would they have voted for Sanders, Biden, Warren etc. instead if they had had the chance? Or was the vote for Trump a protest against "the system," cast by voters -- like some Brexiters -- who were sure Trump could never actually win? How do they feel about their choice now?

Sanders was obviously not an option.

It was mostly a concern about Clinton. But my family is diehard Republican. My friend is slightly less so. I thought he'd go Clinton.

He's a banker. Sanders was off the table.
 
Hmm? Just one citation?

There's 4 dealing specifically with the latter part, with some overlap into the former. And there's lots more available on even a quick search.

Literally, in some cases, parents were told that kids were being taken to the bathroom and the kids were just taken away. There's stories that tell of babies being pretty much ripped out of a mother's arms while the baby was breast-feeding, no less. Looks like there's lawsuits already happening because the HHS is unable or unwilling to connect the taken kids with their parents. Either way, more details can be found in the articles about that. With that said, they can potentially be reunited. It's just that there's very remarkable hurdles in play, in a number of ways... I dare say that some of those hurdles are seemingly intentional, for that matter, especially when we've got cases where the people who separated the parents and children outright told the parents that they'll never see the kids again and the part where this was originally proposed as a way to deter further asylum seekers.

It's being reported on CNN and MSNBC. In addition, it's clear the removal of the children was poorly planned in the first place.

Snopes: Does the United States Have a Plan to Reunite Children Separated From Parents at the Border?

Thanks for the links. And wow ... just wow. Breaking apart families with no plans in place to reunite them? That's simply awful.
 
Am I missing something? There doesn't seem to have been a White House Press Briefing for days.
 
I had something pop into my head while exercising this morning. If, at some point, Melania gets fed up and leaves, a Prenuptial agreement will certainly come into play. A prenup probably written by Michael Cohen. Think about it....

There is no reason to think she isn't fully and completely behind Trump. If she was going to leave, she had plenty of reasons years ago.

She had sex with Donald Trump. She deserves more than what she would get in a divorce with a prenup, and she knows it. She's waiting for the orange husk to perish, and we can't be too far off.
 
I don't expect it's going to make her any more pleasant in the press room over the next week or two.
Guess we'll see what she considers "respectful".
(Not that she isn't going to get a ration from the reporters though... built in excuse I predict.)
 
This is everything Trump has done over the last week (taken from here, but linked as a screenshot, as this site will change over time). Notice what's not on there? Any National Security briefings.

There's also this: https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/1010523246519865344

After motorcade from the WH, Pres Trump boards Air Force One for flight to Las Vegas for political events including fundraiser for and speech to Nevada Republican Party. (Pool photo @smeghaniAP)

And, because there's always a tweet: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/517391005281439744

Obama can attend a fundraiser every day but can’t be bothered to get briefed on national security. Commander-in-Chief?!
