And they wonder why vemins, racists and white supremacists support Trump's candidacy.
The man has destroyed the republican party.
Since Trump became the President almost 4 years ago, I always call the Party of Lincoln the Republicon Party or the RepubliKKKan Party. You will see a show of Hatred, Bigotry, Xenophobia and Racism not to talk of Misogyny and Buffoonery starting on Monday. It will take at least 2 to 3 generations to amend the damage done to the party of Lincoln by the vile unrepentant racist Trump. The sad thing is that America truly needs 2 Parties for our Democracy to flourish.

Trump weighs F-35 jet sales to UAE despite objections by Israel

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-weighs-f-35-jet-sales-to-uae-despite-objections-by-israel-2020-08-19

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday the U.S. is considering selling advanced American F-35 warplanes to the United Arab Emirates over the objections of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump told reporters at a White House news conference that the Emiratis had expressed interest in buying “quite a few” of the stealth fighter jets. He said such a sale was “under review” given the new dynamic between Israel and the UAE since the two nations agreed to normalize relations last week. Perhaps just as important, Trump said, is that the UAE can afford to buy the planes.

“They have the money and they would like to order quite a few F-35s,” Trump said. “It’s the greatest fighter jet in the world, as you know, by stealth, totally stealth.”

“They’d like to buy F-35s, we’ll see what happens,” Trump added. “It’s under review, but they made a great advance in peace in the Middle East.”

Netanyahu said Tuesday he would oppose the sale despite the historic UAE deal after an Israeli newspaper reported that the normalization accord that Trump brokered included language to supply the Arab Gulf nation with advanced U.S. weapons systems.

Former Trump Campaign Boss Steve Bannon Indicted for Fraud in NY

Former Trump campaign CEO and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was indicted in New York on fraud charges related to a fundraising campaign to build a border wall, federal prosecutors said.

Bannon is among four people indicted for allegedly defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors to the online "We Build the Wall" campaign.

Manhattan federal prosecutors allege that Bannon, campaign leader Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea "received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall, which they each used in a manner inconsistent with the organization’s public representations."

"We Build the Wall" began as a GoFundMe campaign in late 2018, designed to raise money directly from the public to build a border wall in the face of Congressional opposition.

While Kolfage publicly guaranteed that he would not take salary or compensation, and that 100 percent of funds raised would go toward the wall, the indictment alleges he actually took more than $350,000 for personal use and took steps to conceal it.

According to the indictment, a non-profit controlled by Bannon received $1 million of the money, some of which went to cover various of his personal expenses.

Trump-Favored Construction Firm Involved In Ongoing Inspector General Investigation Wins $1.3B Border Wall Contract

A North Dakota construction company involved in an ongoing Defense Department Inspector General investigation and favored by President Donald Trump was awarded a $1.3 billion contract to build a segment of border wall earlier this month.

KEY FACTS
Fisher Sand & Gravel on May 6 was awarded a $1.28 billion contract, which had not been publicly announced by the DoD, to build a segment of border wall in Arizona, the Arizona Daily Star first reported.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracts automatically go to the qualified bidder who offers the lowest price.

The DoD IG’s office is investigating a separate border wall contract awarded to Fisher Sand & Gravel in December following concerns from Democrats that Trump “inappropriately influenced” the bidding process after the company’s owner, Tommy Fisher, made several appearances on Fox News.

Fisher Sand & Gravel may be required to paint its section of border wall black, which would add $500 million to the project, at the behest of Trump, who says that black paint will absorb more heat and make it harder for people to climb, the Washington Post reported.

Fisher Sand & Gravel did not immediately responded to a request for comment from Forbes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which handles the contract, said in a statement it followed federal regulations and awarded the contract to the “lowest price technically acceptable offer.”

Steve Bannon, 'We Build The Wall' organizers arrested, charged with defrauding donors

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/steve-bannon-among-4-arrested-indicted-in-online-fundraising-scheme-doj-announces

Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Trump, was among four suspects arrested Thursday and indicted in connection with an online fundraising campaign that allegedly defrauded investors of hundreds of thousands of dollars, the Justice Department announced.

The campaign, "We Build the Wall," was said to have raised over $25 million in all.

"As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction. While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle," acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said.

In addition to Kolfage and Bannon, the DOJ identified Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea (the Trump administration's acting administrator of Drug Enforcement Administration who took over the post in May)

Audrey Strauss has been the acting head of the US Attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York for under two months. She has already overseen the indictments of Ghislaine Maxwell and Steve Bannon, Trump's former campaign CEO

There was a reason Attorney General Bill Barr tried to insert someone other than Strauss, when Geoffrey Berman was removed hapharzardly two months ago. Looks like she building up good case against Barr for obstructing justice - which may never happen if Trump is elected.

Trump is a well known and documented Fraudster. No wonder he attracts all these bottom dwellers. Steve Bannon is just one of many of his lap dogs that are pleading guilty or or being arrested for all kind of criminal activities. Trump is the sleaziest man that ever sits in the Oval office and there's no reediming quality in him. How many of trump's close associates have been accused of one criminal offense or the other. The worst part of this is that the US Attorneys that are prosecuting these Fraudsters are appointed by Trump. I can't wait till we get our country back from this worthless and morally bankrupt Con Man.

Trump: Susan B. Anthony to get posthumous pardon - She a leader of the suffrage women's movement

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-susan-b-anthony-to-get-posthumous-pardon

President Trump announced Tuesday morning he will give a posthumous pardon to Susan B. Anthony, one of history's biggest figures in the women's suffrage movement.

The announcement came 100 years to the day after the 1920 ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

Anthony, who died in 1906, had been arrested in 1872 for violating laws that had permitted only men to vote.


President Trump have done so much more for women in the history of the United States than any other President ever

Michelle Obama accused Trump of putting kids in cages, whereas it was her husband, Obama, back in 2014 that built and put kids in cages. I remember when the picture surfaced online about kids in cages, Leftists rushed to their untimely conclusion that it was Trump's doing, the Media amplified it, only to find out that it was Obama who built those cages. The person who tweeted d picture in Hope that it would embarass President Trump shamefully and quietly took it off his Twitter page on learning d actual Revelation. And here we go again!

The Question is, Why pin it on Trump when they were the ones that built it in d first place?. Trump wasn't in Office back in 2014, was he? It was Obama, Biden and other associates of his Presidency. I guess they probably thought people wouldn't find out.
