This reminds me of the time he or his staff posted the altered video of Jim Acosta. It’s disgraceful. They can’t stick to the truth.
Of course, Trump is in no position to talk about how anyone treats women.

Trump uses movie score without permission
Trump posted a video which used the score of The Dark Knight without permission. This is similar to his use of music at rallies after the artists have told him to stop.
Warner Brothers made him take the video down. Sad!
Covers: Purple Haze
The original version of “Purple Haze” is by the Jimi Hendrix Experience from 1967.
You knew that. But I bet you didn’t know it was covered in 1999 by the great rock and roll polka band from Texas, Brave Combo. If you don’t know them, you will not be prepared for this!
Gun safety update 4/10/19
There’s a good chance that the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 will support gun safety measures like the public and the House do. As long as Republicans/NRA control the Senate, not much can be done at the federal level. At least the Trump administration banned bump stocks. It is obvious that no amount of mass shootings will change the objections to things like universal background checks and banning assault weapons. Too bad we’re not like New Zealand which banned assault weapons in about a week.
Our best chance for change is at the state/local level.
Republicans distort Democratic positions. Democrats are not going to repeal the second amendment and they’re not going to take your guns (with the possible exception of assault weapons).
Trump’s dangerous “coup” and “treason” talk
He’s gone completely into conspiracy theory territory. This undermines our country and sabotages law enforcement. It’s an attempt to obscure all the bad things Trump and his team did. My idea of treason: Trump, Jr./Manafort/Kushner meeting with Russians. They should have reported the contact to the FBI instead.
According to Trump, winning the election means the public absolved him of everything. That’s not true. Even if you agree with his “logic”, how could voters absolve him of stuff we didn’t know about at the time of the election (because Trump lied about Russian contacts)?
Gerrymandering update 4/10/19
Drug prices
Drug companies benefitted from Trump’s tax cut but didn’t lower prices. Now, some Republicans don’t even want the companies to testify in a hearing on drug prices. Sad!
Another Trump nominee won’t say that Brown v. Board of Education was correct
Now, another Trump nominee won’t say that it was correctly decided. This is racism right out in the open.
Covers: Carol
Chuck Berry recorded his song “Carol” in 1958. The Beatles performed it for the BBC in 1963 but that wasn’t released until 1994. The Rolling Stones also covered it in 1964. Both bands just sound really young to me. The Rolling Stones also covered it live in 1969; this is a much more confident and relaxed version.
Covers: Junker Blues/The Fat Man
This is more of a ripoff than a cover. In 1941, Champion Jack Dupree recorded “Junker blues”. In 1949, Fats Domino used the music for his first hit “The Fat Man” which has songwriting credits for Domino and his producer Dave Bartholomew.
Sad!
