The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Actually, I've had a thought on this. I've been quite shocked on another thread here to see anti semitism expressed with the thinnest of excuses, so I wonder whether some of the irrational hatred we hear toward the Prsident is motivated by this closet anti semitism ?
He's been a friend of Israel and democracy in the region and a great defender of Jews in general, so do they see him as a powerful obstruction to what they'd really like to do ?

It's actually quite impressive to come up with something as insane as this. You could give me all weekend and I wouldn't be able to do it. Nice work, Ronnie.

Insane ? No I don't think so after some of the thinly disguised anti semitism on these threads recently

I think you have just absolutely proven my point. I haven't seen even a smidgen of anti-Semitism on any thread on this messageboard merely critique. This is exactly the same sort of rubbish the Labour Party is being accused of by people with a political agenda. The whole reason for all this nonsense is to subvert the narrative and prevent any reasonable criticism of Israeli policy towards Palestine.

I guess those law revering, democracy loving, independent thinking, intellectually superior minds would be all over this. Particularly as Inspector General reports and whistle-blowers have been so important in their narrative. Seems I was hasty to completely ignore their views just when deep state are denying an IG and whistleblower transparency to the people.

The Whistleblower has disappeared. Where is the Whistleblower?

Some news that has bypassed CCMB in the last week.

US national debt has surpassed $23 trillion for the first time: https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Then there was this: Federal deficit increases 26% to $984 billion for fiscal 2019, highest in 7 years https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/25/fede...scal-2019.html

April 4, 2016: Donald Trump: I will eliminate U.S. debt in 8 years https://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box...ebt-in-8-years

Instead since his election win he's added $3.2 trillion to it and is outspending Obama.

All while continuing to claim the US economy is the greatest ever.

Trump's tweets about a “whistleblower” this morning are not about the current whistleblower.

They are actually threats to any potential new whistleblowers that he will harass and out them.

I'm just surprised that he didn't refer the whistleblowers as rats this time.

I'm sure the President of the USA knows far more about this than I do - but I was always assured that whistleblowers are protected from being treated unfairly if they come forward with information that is beneficial to public interest? It must be me that's wrong.

To be a whistlenlower you have to follow a specific whistleblower procedure. Going directly to Schiff and colluding with him was probably not the cleverest thing to do. Lots of juicy stuff to come ...

Dual tactics, discredit the person who is under whistleblower protection (likely person already outed on the alt-right sites that pretend to care about the US Constitution) and to discourage others (presumably from saying how squeaky clean and perfect Trump is on other matters or things he may do in the future).

The first bit is a distraction as Trump appointed officials have already given first hand accounts which go further than the whistleblower statement. Indeed Trump and his Chief of Staff have confessed more than that, live on tv! Obviously there will be a few slavish acolytes that follow the distraction.

The second bit.. who knows. Can't remember too many campaigns being won by retreating ever further into a bunker but then again Twitter is a more recent innovation for the paranoid and cornered.
