The Trump Foundation donated money to charities that used Mar-a-Lago for events. Sounds sleazy to me. Of course, the Florida Attorney General (see below) won’t do anything.
Month: July 2018
Mar-a-Lago members were offered a tour of Air Force One
From the article:
“Some members of President Donald Trump’s exclusive Florida clubs appear to have been invited to an Air Force One tour last year, according to an invitation obtained by BuzzFeed News, which was cross-checked with records received through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Members would not confirm or deny that they actually attended, but the invitations would raise more questions about the blurry line between Trump’s administration and his family’s private businesses. Although past administrations have given Air Force One tours to friends, family, and even donors, in this case, those attending would have paid Trump’s exclusive clubs thousands of dollars annually.”
This is so corrupt. Sad!
The government put manufacturers before the health of children
This is an amazing story. The Trump administration cared more about businesses than health and bullied foreign countries.
from the article:
“American officials sought to water down the resolution by removing language that called on governments to “protect, promote and support breast-feeding” and another passage that called on policymakers to restrict the promotion of food products that many experts say can have deleterious effects on young children.
When that failed, they turned to threats, according to diplomats and government officials who took part in the discussions. Ecuador, which had planned to introduce the measure, was the first to find itself in the cross hairs.
The Americans were blunt: If Ecuador refused to drop the resolution, Washington would unleash punishing trade measures and withdraw crucial military aid. The Ecuadorean government quickly acquiesced.”
and
“In the end, the Americans’ efforts were mostly unsuccessful. It was the Russians who ultimately stepped in to introduce the measure — and the Americans did not threaten them.”

Nazis running as Republicans
This article states:
“In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their party’s candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above.
In North Carolina, for example, GOP officials are stuck with Russell Walker, a white supremacist running for the state House of Representatives. According to his personal website (littered with the n-word), he believes that “the jews are NOT semitic they are satanic as they all descend from Satan.””

The Bobbitts – 25 years ago
It’s been 25 years since the Bobbitts. Hard to believe. If you are too young to remember this, read this incredible true story that captivated the country.
A great joke from back then:
Q: What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbitt?
A: Are you going to eat that?
Trump’s picks for judges are 92% white
No comment needed. I don’t see how anyone can think Trump is not a bigot.
