Trump slump for tourism

Ever since our forty-fifth president was elected, tourism to the United States from foreign countries has steadily dropped—in the face of a world-wide boom in travel https://t.co/FcoCRO8mc1

Trump’s voting commission was a sham

This really isn’t news. It was obvious from the start.

“I see that it wasn’t just a matter of investigating President Trump’s claims that 3 to 5 million people voted illegally, but the goal of the commission seems to have been to validate those claims.” https://t.co/FgOrBmT8nt

Trump lies about his association health plans

Trump says of his new association health plans: "I hear it's like record business that they're doing…we just opened about two months ago, and I'm hearing that the numbers are incredible."

The new plans can't be sold until September 1.

Sarah Sanders won’t condemn the “CNN Sucks” crowd

Someone is going to get hurt by the hostile Trump supporters who are egged on by their leader.

Sanders does not condemn the mob scene last night in Tampa, where scores of Trump fans angrily shouted "CNN sucks" to interrupt @Acosta live shot. She called it "freedom of speech." Earlier, President Trump promoted the taunts by tweeting video of it.

— Philip Rucker (@PhilipRucker) August 1, 2018

You’re right @Acosta. This is dangerous and it gets worse by the day. People are getting more and more radicalized. Eventually violence becomes inevitable. We all have to do our part to help the country heal – now. https://t.co/timtPXPfsY

— Carlos Curbelo (@carloslcurbelo) August 1, 2018

Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy. pic.twitter.com/IhSRw5Ui3R

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) August 1, 2018

“Many of the people who went to the polls driven by fear and anxiety are now going to rallies, projecting that fear and anxiety onto those whom they see as the primary obstacles to making America great.” https://t.co/qixtbHdwnF

No Eric. Not the truth. And you know better. https://t.co/f01GWOE70t

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) August 1, 2018

After each live shot, @Acosta would walk down and politely talk to the people who just heckled him. He talked to one group for at least 15 minutes. pic.twitter.com/J26nlxfD6k

— Christopher Heath (@CHeathWFTV) August 1, 2018

We have no equivalent to the dark carnival that is a trump rally. This is not a thing on the left. We just argue about healthcare and climate and sometimes relitigate 2016 but we are not actually out of our minds.

Trump is leading a hate movement against the media. My take on the rage and abuse directed at @Acosta last night and its place in the never-ending civility debate:https://t.co/1GbZN3jj5j

stop infantilizing Trump supporters, treating them as hapless victims. Whatever one’s economic hardships, threatening, unhinged conduct and crude insults shouldn’t be excused. Trump cultists claim to be disrespected; they are only ones showing disrespect https://t.co/gcIrrMuNeU

— Jennifer Rubin (@JRubinBlogger) August 1, 2018

Their continuing rage, despite all their winning, tells you everything you need to know: their anger isn’t related to anything real. It’s an itch, rooted in a deep sense of inferiority and insecurity, that can never be scratched. There is no political or policy solution to it. https://t.co/rqFkORNXgl

Trump golf days

Don’t tell me he’s too busy to testify before Mueller.

Trump starts his day at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ.

This is Trump's 177th day at a Trump property as president and his 134th day at a Trump golf club as president.

Trump has no plan to combat election interference

Maybe he doesn’t want to combat interference since it helped him in 2016.

Current and former officials tell @NBCNews that 19 months into his presidency, there is no coherent Trump administration strategy to combat foreign election interference — and no single person or agency in charge. https://t.co/zlqCJaQIkI

For the first time since the Russians hacked the 2016 election, Trump held a meeting about election security. It lasted less than an hour. https://t.co/e7U48riMm1 pic.twitter.com/0XJLGfg76Y

— Jim Roberts (@nycjim) July 28, 2018

Besides being unwilling to use the word “Russia” (Voldemort!), the Trump meeting only focused on 1) voting machines security.

Just as important are 2) security of voter database and election reporting, 3) protection of body politic from foreign government info ops

States are struggling to protect the 2020 elections

President Donald Trump on Friday promised an intense, “whole-of-government” focus on securing the nation’s elections from cyberattacks — but a POLITICO survey of states finds ample reasons to worry about both this year’s midterms and 2020.

Majority will blame Republicans for Obamacare problems

Of course, Republicans will blame Obama who hasn’t been president for 18 months.

The idea that Republicans would benefit from deliberately ruining people's health insurance during a period of unified Republican government was always entirely, absolutely, insane. https://t.co/vARR4cDha4

Trump lied when he said he won the votes by women

Trump did win the votes of white women, the only women he cares about. Bigot. Liar.

Update 2/14/20 – he will never stop lying

The gender gap in 2016 tied for the largest of any presidential election since pollsters began tracking it 40 years ago. https://t.co/253s1N3jME

Trump: "I got a tremendous number of women. They said one of the reasons I won was women."

Women voters in 2016:

Clinton: 54%
Trump: 42% https://t.co/A38Q3JbzMZ
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) February 14, 2020

"And, you know, for women — as you know, I did very well with women last time. I was hearing I wouldn't have. I'd say, 'Why? Why? Explain.' I did very well with women. " — Trump

Note: he got 41% of the women's vote in 20916https://t.co/IajP0kH3Hm
— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) June 17, 2019

He’s still telling this lie.

Clinton 54%
Trump 41%https://t.co/LkfrQWAz8O https://t.co/wIX7ObaSiQ

8/4/18:

Trump lies about it again:

“I am so sorry, women, I’ve let you down. I’ve let the women down.

“Even though I won the women. I won the women, ohhhhh.

“You know when those numbers came, how’s it possible? I never heard I was going to win the women.

…We won the women. That was a little surprise.” pic.twitter.com/mhPQnnbeyS
— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) August 5, 2018

Trump just claimed that he won the women's vote in the 2016 campaign. He didn’t – and continues to struggle with women voters. But he did win the white women’s vote in 2016. https://t.co/2ippVTatqH
— Eugene Scott (@Eugene_Scott) August 5, 2018

again

Trump again falsely claims that he got 52% of "the women's vote" in the election.

He got 52% of the *white women's* vote. About 42% of all women.
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) August 24, 2018

10/11/18

He just keeps telling this lie

At his rally in Erie, Trump claims again that he won 52 percent of women in 2016. That's true only of white women. He doesn't count non-whites. Among all women he won 41 percent. https://t.co/hgab7fWe1Z
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) October 11, 2018

and again on 10/13

Trump once again falsely claiming he earned 52% of the women's vote. That's the percentage of white women who voted for Trump. A majority of women overall voted for Clinton over Trump.

and again on 10/16

He got 41% of the female vote in 2016 https://t.co/aqhtTMmlSq
