Chump is looking to replace ambassador Haley with his daughter Ivanka.

Chump is looking to replace ambassador Haley with his daughter Ivanka.

He said he wouldn't do that because he'd be accused of nepotism. Not because he'd being committing nepotism but because he'd be accused of committing nepotism. By definition, that appointment would be committing nepotism.

This is where we see how he slides his guilt over to his accusers. It is very obvious once we learn to look for it.

He's no more than a charlatan.

[oladub]

Nepotism is the "the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs." -Google dictionary

President Kennedy hired his brother Bobbie as Attorney General. Anyone want to call that 'nepotism'? It might not be a bad idea for Ivanka to work at the UN but what was the basis of Canuck's claim?

Lowest unemployment in 49 years [[3.7%). Don't you love it? If not, vote for Democrats next month.

^^^ Not excusing current folks on the hot seat, hut had social media and the 'Me Too' movement been in affect not a Kennedy son: John, Robert or Ted [[or Papa Joe) would have come out 100% clean.

A VERY good point. Can you imagine Trump driving his car, with an occupant, off of a bridge, then disappearing for a few hours after they've drowned? Read some of John's exploits about swimming in the White House pool with other women, nude, then everyone running nude through the White House, because they heard the helicopter coming in with Jackie in it. But that's Ok, that was Camelot.

[Zacha341]

^^^ Yep, 'selective' outrage, shock and awe. Both sides participate in this.

I'm an indy, so not widely partisan. But I think the low unemployment rates are inflated, or temporal, just ahead of a mega financial collapse which will be made worse by the countries severe division.

What's up with the hypocrisy were the repubs decried former pres Obama's tax-and-spend policies, printing money deluxe? Yet Trump continues to run up the deficit, higher still and they're silent......

IDK....I see a crash and burn in the near future.

I see hiring signs all over where I live but I sold my stocks a few months ago. I fully agree that Trump is no improvement over Obama with regards to deficit spending. Obama commissioned the bi-partisan Bowles-Simpson Commission to come up with a plan. That commission proposed reducing federal spending $2 for every $1 increase in taxes. Their report disappeared with no support from either party. This debt, $5T under Bush, $10T under Obama, and at least $1T/year under Trump so far will be a disaster if and when interest rates even rise to their historic norm. They will. $1T = $3,120/American or $12,480 for a family of four. Forget about new government spending programs like forgiving student loans or even maintaining current programs. The options, as before, are to cut spending, raise taxes, or destroy our currency and economy printing more money. Tariffs could be part of the tax increase. All the numbers would have to be revised upward since the Bowles-Simpson plan was proposed in 2010.

This guy needs to go.

Yea that was the whole concept of draining the swamp that got sidetracked with porn stars and allegation obsessions.

Speaking of,I find it hilarious that the money raised by stormy through crowdfunding will now go to our President,I am sure he appreciates the added bank roll from his new supporters.

It is almost like they are helping to fund his second term campaign,such good sports they are.

I am thinking that the far left democrats should invest in a boomerang factory since everything they try to do seems to come back on them .

[Maof]

I suppose you also find it funny that the so called "commander in chief" calls people names. The latest being "horseface".

[Richard]

No,proably because I was raised under the whole sticks and stones aspect.

I am more concerned about the downsizing of the manufacturing council that leaves millions with little hope because of obstructing and people personally offended,that shows millions care more about name calling then the greater good.

In perpestive name calling seems a bit low on the list of priorities or things to obsess on.

Again, now that they've succeeded in cutting the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20%, it's time to attack 'entitlements'. Pretty brazen discussion from the 'human turtle' when you're two weeks away from the mid-terms. Did you hear even one Republican mention making that corporate tax cut rate 22 or 25% to help medicare or Social Security ? They'd take or cut both now if they could.

[Richard]

Maybe he is colluding with the democrats to undermine the Republican Party.

Did you know that we were sending $325 million a year to Gaza for job training and social benefits while they still maintained a 60% jobless rate?

The current administration cut that one out,I think we need to really look at the billions we send everybody else to improve thier lifestyle while our own citizens suffer.

How about no tax breaks for the rich and maybe they won't tap into medicare, medicade and SS. "The rich get richer, the poor get poorer"

[Johnnny5]

"President Donald Trump moved Wednesday to withdraw from a 144-year-old international postal agreement that enables businesses in China to mail small packages to the United States at a hefty discount, an arrangement government officials said boosts foreign competitors and costs the U.S. Postal Service roughly $170 million per year."

No matter one's opinions of President Trump we should all be thankful that someone is now trying to end this obsolete and lopsided agreement. It has hurt many U.S based retailers and should have been ended a decade ago!

Besides the obvious ridiculousness of the U.S subsidizing Chinese retailers, another positive side effect of ending this agreement will be a massive drop in the number of small packages coming from China. Chinese criminals have been very successful in using this high volume of packages to smuggle Fentanyl and other synthetic drugs and this should make it easier for U.S customs to get a handle on the problem.

How about no tax breaks for the poor,EIC etc. the whole concept of taking from the rich to support the poor has never worked,ask Venezuela how that is working out.

It blows my mind,I bought shrink wrap for wires,shipped directly from China for 69c with free shipping,I can’t even send a similar package 10 miles for that price.

They say they keep costs down because they now have massive cargo ships where one equals 5 of the past,it also emits more co then every car combined in the US on one trip.

But even at that once it hits port it still has to be sorted and delivered,the only way we are buying cheap imported stuff is because the costs are offset by tax dollars so it does not seem like it is coming out of pocket.

I think if they actually let everybody know the billions that are being sent overseas for all kinds of reasons there would be riots.

Sense Trump has been in office his net worth has dropped 100 million

Past president Obama’s has increased $80 million

Clinton’s has increased 100 million

He is the only moron in politics that is actually losing money while closing loopholes created by previous administrations that seems to be gifts that keep on giving.

[canuck]

Noke omment.

Maybe he [[Trump) should right a book. I understand former president Obama receive an advance of millions for his.

Pretty sure only Drumpf supporters would believe that.

[Richard]

^ yea how is that blue wave thing going?

It seems to be diminished down to a trickle of tears.
