Trump pardons people who share his political views

Trump is pardoning Dinesh D’Sousza who pleaded guilty to making illegal campaign contributions.

He wasn’t treated unfairly.  He was guilty and admitted it.

It’s always about Trump

Trump did not condemn Roseanne Barr’s racists tweets.  Instead, he used it as an opportunity to make the issue about himself and demand apologies.

Trump is a racist as he has shown repeatedly so it’s not surprising he didn’t disagree with Barr’s tweets.   He has no interest in uniting the country.  He only cares about his base.

Not all Trump supporters are bigots but I think a lot of them are.  He didn’t attack Barr’s remarks so he wouldn’t offend them.  I don’t blame Trump for Barr’s tweets but he has created an environment where bigots are more open because of his encouragement.

Sad!

Trump attacks our allies on trade

If we have any allies left after all of his terrible behavior…..

Trump imposes tariffs on Canada, Mexico and Europe.

Our allies are perplexed by his policies. 

Trump lies about the Comey firing

Trump today tweeted that he did not fire Comey because of Russia.  There’s lots of proof in his own words that he did.  He’s a pathological liar!

Sad!

The death toll in Puerto Rico is much higher than we were told

The official total is 64 but the actual total is closer to 5,000.

Ivanka Trump’s conflict of interest

 

Then the president wants to help Chinese firm ZTE.

The article states: “Even as Mr. Trump contends with Beijing on issues like security and trade, his family and the company that bears his name are trying to make money off their brand in China’s flush and potentially promising market.”

It sure looks like a conflict of interest to me!

Many members of Congress oppose the ZTE deal.

Good for ABC for canceling Roseanne

Congratulations to ABC for putting values over money when they cancelled “Roseanne” because of the star’s disgusting tweets.  Maybe Fox News will pick the show up.

Here’s an overview of what happened.

Roseanne had apologized and said it was a joke.  It wasn’t a joke.  Saying it was a joke is the strategy Trump uses when he says especially repulsive things.

Trump’s disgusting Memorial Day tweet

Trump’s Memorial Day Tweet was bad, even by his low standards.  As usual, it was all about him.  He claims to support the military but he didn’t pay their salaries in the years he didn’t pay taxes.  He has been horrible to the Khan family, who lost a son in military service, and to John McCain.

As far as I know, nobody related to Trump has even been in the military service.  I was not in the military but I think most families (including mine)  have someone in their family who has served.  I don’t think he understands the sacrifices many of these families have made.

Here’s the tweet:

Trump’s policy is separating children from families

Trump lied when he tried to blame the Obama and the Democrats for his own policy of separating children from families when they try to enter the US.

Trump’s original lie:

Trump claims Democrats colluded with Russia

It’s just another lie meant to distracts us.
