But hey, they put their hands on their hearts and stand up straight for the National Athem. True patriots. BTW, it's been 10 years since Trump donated to his namesake charity. Quality guy.

 

(CNN)The New York attorney general is suing President Donald Trump's charitable foundation along with its directors -- the President, his sons Eric and Donald Jr. and daughter Ivanka, alleging they violated state and federal charities law.

Attorney General Barbara Underwood alleges a pattern of persistent illegal conduct over more than a decade that includes extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign.

With the Michael Cohen thing I had a feeling the state of NY was about to start stepping up their investigations. Any state violations/crimes Trump cant pardon.

wonder if this wasn't pursued by the previous, now-disgraced AG because of the blackmail dirt Trump held over him? and why Ivanka and Jr. never had criminal charges pursued a few years ago?

big congrats to WaPo reporter David Farenthold, who has been chasing down Trump's various charity dealings for over two years now.

If only someone told him that Obama supported this too, he'd have the dilemma of the century.  Agree with Obama or Spite Putin.

Obama didn't support the annexation of Crimea though?

President Donald Trump has given his approval to proceed with tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese exports, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

An announcement is expected on Friday. The president's green light came after a meeting Thursday with top economic officials, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

The move represents a dramatic escalation of global tensions on trade just as Trump has picked fights with allies Canada, the European Union and Mexico over steel and aluminum.

Beijing previously said it would respond to American tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese exports with retaliatory tariffs on $50 billion of US products such as cars, planes and soybeans.

Comment:  Winning!

this dude takes grifting to the next level

 

ok not sure if this can be topped today,

 

 

Time and time again, Trump has shown that he has no appreciation or respect for democratic governance. He routinely displays disgust with our democratic allies and their elected leaders, but he never hesitates cozying up to and praising dictators around the world regardless of if they're friend or foe. He sees the way they wield power, stamp out dissent, and get "admiration" from their people, and he's jealous.

 

2020 is gonna be wild.

If this is how he truly feels, think of all the people who were disobedient to Obama, including himself, who should be very lucky they didn't wind up in a labor camp. 

The president is awake and lying again. 

The President is awake but the whole world would be better off it he was lying down (again.)

I think his point is Trump only wants to do the opposite of Obama.  So naturally if Trump thought Obama supported it, he would be very against it

The best is all he does is retweet and echo Fox and friends.  He has no actual opinions.  Right after that, Giuliani comes on and completely contradicts everything he said.  

Manafort's bail is revoked. Will wait for his trial in the big house. Really nice guy. Totally unfair. Never really worked for Trump. Only his campaign manager. Did very little.

This.  He would either have to agree with Obama or disagree with Putin.  Not sure how that one would go.

The secret is that if we had gone up against a real bid instead of Morocco, we probably wouldn't have gotten it.
