This shows how extremely conservative the Trump cult is. Bush was very conservative by any objective standard.

Latest Trump lie about the wall
NEW: Over the past couple weeks, Trump has begun telling supporters he's already spent $3.2 billion on the wall–twice the amount Congress has authorized. He said it twice last night at a rally in Montana. https://t.co/CH1wBO0Gxx

Nike sales are up
Nike was thinking that it's a good business decision for a company to be on the right side of history. https://t.co/aqBUgrNm7L

Trump was wrong to attack Nike and wrong to note that they are his tenant (just more proof that he has conflicts of interest). Shouldn’t Republicans be upset when he attacks specific businesses? I didn’t think they would approve of that.
Asked about the Nike-Kaepernick controversy, on which he has been conspicuously quiet, Trump says plainly: "Nike is a tenant of mine. They pay a lot of rent."

Just like the NFL, whose ratings have gone WAY DOWN, Nike is getting absolutely killed with anger and boycotts. I wonder if they had any idea that it would be this way? As far as the NFL is concerned, I just find it hard to watch, and always will, until they stand for the FLAG!

Nike’s use of Colin Kaepernick is the single most polarizing use of an athlete endorser in at least two decades. Witness: 650 comments off this tweet. Never had a statement of fact get this type of attention. https://t.co/UbwuVsr9Yx

Trump, Jr.’s misguided tweet on growth
The Trump cult is so quick to pretend Obama did nothing.
no expert said a quarter of 4.2% growth "couldn't be done."
it was done in four different quarters under President Obama, with one difference
growth in those four quarters was higher – 4.5%, 4.7%, 4.9%, 5.1% https://t.co/FsSDNrLroy

The FBI just called out Trump's lie, so it's not classified info he's seeing from our side. Which means the even MORE disturbing possibility is that he is getting this (dis)information from his friend Pooty on their secret conversations on his Russian bat phone. https://t.co/ANi5wGnHf7

McConnell slows effort to name building after McCain
Looks like many Republicans would rather keep it named after a racist.
I assume Trump will oppose it and his cult will fall in line.
Today, I am circulating a letter with Senator Flake asking all of our colleagues if they’d be willing to join us in a resolution to officially rename the Russell Building the McCain Building.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) August 28, 2018
Richard Russell was a white supremacist who fought desegregation. It’s fitting to rename that building after John McCain, a man who actively resisted inciting racism when he ran against the first African-American presidential candidate. https://t.co/hTQnpFDKKk
