Look Back: 9 Things Trump Voters Can Be Thankful for in 2017

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has a message for Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The Democrat senator from Vermont and one-time Democrat presidential candidate called on

President Donald Trump to keep his campaign promises, demanding that Trump veto any bill

that would cut entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Kirk tweeted back, noting that the Trump administration had completed or was pursuing many of the

president�s campaign promises � among them moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from

Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, nominating conservative judges to the federal bench and tax reform.

Since taking office, Trump has continually pushed for tax reform.

Both the House and Senate passed their versions of the GOP tax bill without any Democrat support.

Congress then reconciled the two versions in order to have a new plan sign by the president

before Christmas.

Although Congress� first attempt at repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care

Act (better known as Obamacare) was unsuccessful, the tax plan repealed the individual mandate

requiring Americans to enroll in health insurance or pay a fine.

The move has been championed by conservatives and largely panned by Obamacare supporters.

Immigration remains a hot button issue.

The administration has revealed prototypes for the long-awaited wall along the U.S.-Mexico

border.

In September the president ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an

Obama-era executive order that allowed illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children

to remain in the country.

The issue has been turned over to Congress.

In December the president announced that the U.S. will officially recognize Jerusalem as

the capital of Israel and plans to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to the ancient

city.

The move has received harsh criticism, with many claiming it will undermine the peace

process between Israelis and Palestinians.

Conservatives have generally reacted positively to the president�s appointment of Neil Gorsuch

to the Supreme Court, filling the seat left behind by the late Antonin Scalia.

Former President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland to fill the position toward the end

of his presidency, but the GOP-controlled Congress withheld consideration of the nomination

until after the 2016 election.

Reports say Islamic State group militants have apparently been largely wiped out across

the Middle East, as well.

According to CNBC, the Trump administration has shifted focus from �energy independence�

as touted by previous administrations to �energy dominance.� Those efforts will reportedly

include exportation of liquefied natural gas to Europe and Asia.

Meanwhile economists speculate that Trump administration economic policy, specifically

deregulation, is encouraging business confidence, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Additionally, the Labor Department says that 228,000 new jobs have been reported as of

December.

BREAKING!! HILLARY IS DONE!!! TRUMP's FEC Just Dropped BOMBSHELL - Duration: 3:29.

BREAKING!!

HILLARY IS DONE!!!

TRUMP�s FEC Just Dropped BOMBSHELL

Nothing would giver conservatives in America more pleasure than to see Hillary and all

of her cronies finally receive justice for their dirty dealings.

While the liberals who run with the Clintons are pretty great at covering their tracks,

every now and again they trip up and the house of cards that their lies are built on starts

to crumble.

Getting a peek into the world of high-ranking liberals isn�t common because, as every

superhero movie watcher knows, the villains have to have some sort of blackmail on you

to really trust you.

This kind of system assures mutual destruction if anyone spills the beans, and since no one

wants to go the way of Seth Rich, the aids and staffers that surround the former First

Lady keep their mouths firmly closed.

However The President�s promises to make Hillary pay for each and every crime that

she�s committed just came a lot closer to being a promise kept as we start to see a

chink in the armor of the once great Clinton campaign.

Right Wing News reports that just like when the government caught Al Capone, it might

just be her dirty money that trips Hillary up as well.

As it turns out Hillary, and a few others like her, have been attempting to skirt a

law that they shouldn�t have been when it comes to campaign donations.

All was going fine and good until the issue was brought before the Supreme Court and they

weighed in on it, not in Hillary�s favor:

�In 2014, the Supreme Court struck down a law that effectively said how many political

candidates any one person could donate to.

Of course, the sky was falling, or millions of people would die, or we were pushing granny

off of cliff, if this were to happen.

In court, anti-freedom leftist politicians and lawyers said it would create �Joint

Fundraising Committees� that would allow single donors to donate millions of dollars

at one time and these JFC would rotate the funds through other action committees until

the politician in question actually received the money, effectively bypassing the law.

The Supreme Court said this would still be illegal, so no, the sky would not be falling

that day.

The great irony, it turns out, is this is exactly what Hillary Clinton was doing all

along.

Fox News reported the Democrat National Committee and their ilk as �us[ing] state chapters

as straw men to circumvent campaign donation limits and launder(ing) the money back to

her campaign.

The Committee to Defend the President, a political action committee, filed its complaint with

the FEC on Monday with the allegations that the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) solicited cash

from big-name donors, including Calvin Klein and �Family Guy� creator Seth MacFarlane

� money that was allegedly sent through state chapters and back to the DNC before

ending up with the Clinton campaign.

Officials with the committee said their filing was spurred by their own analysis of FEC reports,

where they said they discovered the HVF either never transferred the money to state chapters

and back to the DNC, or did so without the state chapters having actual control.'�

Once again we get to see what happens when the DNC decides that rules are for poor people,

and they ignore the spirit of the law.

It�s been tested time and again that unless someone constantly, actively holds their feet

to the fire, Democrats will do everything they can to break the law as much as they

can and still stay out of prison.

As it turns out, Hillary might have pushed that line a little too far (or at least we

can hope that�s how a judge will see it).

Republican Governor Immediately Silences Every Anti-Trump Welfare Leech In His State |MK Today - Duration: 3:35.

Republican Governor Immediately Silences Every Anti-Trump Welfare Leech In His State.

There is a stereotype in America that is far too often accurate.

It consists of myriads of welfare leeches spending their benefits on everything but

that for which they were intended.

This would include food stamp fraud.

This consists of illegally selling food stamp benefits for cash which is then used for illegal

drugs among other things.

Then there are those who make fraudulent applications for benefits.

Another characteristic that is common to these folks is an unwillingness to work, ever if

able.

In other words, government benefits that are to be a safety net for those who are truly

impoverished are instead used to subsidize idleness and drug abuse.

Unhealthy lifestyles are subsidized while children are often in need.

All courtesy of a depraved nature coupled with poorly administered benefits.

Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin intends to end at least part of this abuse.

Those on welfare in his state will have to submit to periodic tests for illegal drugs.

Thus ends or dramatically curtails the misuse of welfare benefits to support an illegal

drug habit.

"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, whose pro-growth and pro-taxpayer reforms have transformed

the Badger State into a magnet for jobs and opportunities, seeks to further rehabilitate

his once-ailing state by implementing drug-testing for able-bodied food stamp applicants.

"'Wisconsin's Republican governor has submitted a plan to state lawmakers for drug

testing able-bodied recipients of the state's Food Share program,' the Milwaukee Journal

Sentinel reported Monday.

"'If the state Legislature doesn't object within 120 days, the plan will go into effect,

though it will take at least a year for actual testing to begin,' the report noted."

At least it will take a year to implement the program.

For a moment there, one could have been concerned that government had lost its ability to take

a simple project and string it out for months or years.

Seriously, though, this is precisely the sort of thing that needs to be done nationwide.

The left will scream that what we have is typical Republican insensitivity to the needs

of the poor.

On closer examination, that is easily proven as false.

Note how things will work.

"According to the Walker administration, the goal wouldn't be to make life more difficult

for those in need of food stamps, but rather to first identify recipients with substance

abuse issues and then provide them with the help they need to recover.

Why?

Because most employers aren't too keen on hiring drug abusers.

"'Employers have jobs available, but they need skilled workers who can pass a drug test,'

Walker explained in a news brief released by his office.

'This rule change means people battling substance use disorders will be able to get

the help they need to get healthy, and get back into the workforce.'"

This is even more compassionate than what the liberals allege to support.

Impoverished drug addicts are to be identified and placed in programs to help them overcome

their addictions.

Once they are "clean" they are more likely to find good jobs, earn more money, and get

off welfare.

Of course, the results won't be perfect, but it is an excellent plan.

Unless you are a candidate for office who needs drug-addicted welfare recipients to

win elections, it's hard to see how anyone loses under this program.

Could we now hope that other states follow Wisconsin's lead?

what do you think about this?

BREAKING!!!

He Betrayed Him…Now TRUMP Just FIRED HIS ASS!

SEE YA!

Lord knows that the White House administration has not had a great relationship with the

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Given everything that has gone down between the President and James Comey, the former

director of the FBI.

Well, it appears that the turmoil is going to continue do to the recent employment changes

made over at the bureau.

Current FBI Director Christopher Wray has now removed James Baker as the head of the

FBIs Office of General Counsel.

Reports indicate he following,

"Baker played a key role in the agency's handling of major cases and policy debates

in recent years, including the FBI's unsuccessful battle with Apple over the growing use of

encryption in cellphones."

However, Baker was not fired he was simply moved to a different position and part of

the Bureau.

Reports have led to the insinuation that this decision was in part because of the former

closeness between himself and James Comey.

After the controversy surrounding Comey all the high level personnel are under a high

level of scrutiny.

The Daily Mail reported,

"Baker told colleagues he will assume different duties for the bureau.

Baker oversees the bureau's Office of General Counsel, and has received such awards as the

George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in counter-terrorism in 2006.

In July, Circa News' Sara Carter reported FBI General Counsel James A. Baker and, "close

confidant" of former FBI head James Comey, was allegedly under investigation for leaking

classified information to the media.

The explosive claim came amid heated discussions about leaks coming from disloyal staffers

from within the Trump White House.

FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is purportedly under a Department of Justice criminal investigation

for allegedly leaking classified national security information to the media, according

to multiple government officials close to the probe who spoke with Circa on the condition

of anonymity.

Baker is a close confidant of former FBI Director James Comey, and recent media reports suggested

he was reportedly advising the then-FBI director on legal matters following private meetings

the former director had in February with President Trump in the Oval Office.

First reported by The Hill, former FBI James Comey is also accused of leaking classified

information to the media.

More than half of the memos fired FBI Director James Comey wrote during his private conversations

with President Trump have been determined to contain classified information."

If it is true that Baker and Comey were conspiring together about what was going on inside the

FBI after Comey had left that is a serious problem.

Depending upon the sensitivity of the information it could even be a crime.

Comey had left the FBI for a reason and as a civilian he does not have a right or privilege

to access privileged FBI information.

If it is true then Baker should be fired and not reassigned to a different department within

the FBI.

It shouldn't be surprising them to find that Comey defended Baker publicly after his

demotion,

"Former FBI Director James Comey defended the bureau's recently reassigned top lawyer

and suggested the move was political.

"Sadly, we are now at a point in our political life when anyone can be attacked for partisan

gain," Comey tweeted Friday night.

Comey, who was fired by President Trump earlier this year, tweeted, "James Baker, who is

stepping down as FBI General Counsel, served our country incredibly well for 25 years & deserves

better.

He is what we should all want our public servants to be."

Baker has been at the center of several recent news stories.

The Washington Post reported this week that Baker, who has served as the FBI's general

counsel, was leaving his role and had being reassigned at the bureau.

The newspaper reported that Baker "had been caught up in a strange interagency dispute

that led to a leak probe and attracted the attention of senior lawmakers" but the issue

"had not played a part in Baker's reassignment."

On Friday evening, the website Politico published a story saying House Republicans were interested

in Baker's contacts with a liberal reporter from Mother Jones in the weeks ahead of the

2016 election.

That reporter, David Corn, was the first to report the existence of a salacious dossier

that includes unverified allegations about Trump's connections with Russia.

Corn denied Baker was his source for that story.

But he replied to Comey's tweet defending Baker by saying: "Jim has lost hours of

sleep working to protect this country–and that means you & your family.

He deserves gratitude."

Baker's reassignment comes as other top law enforcement officials have been removed

from jobs amid Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.

A Mueller aide, Peter Strzok, a former FBI official, was removed from the special counsel

investigation after a number of anti-Trump texts were discovered on his phone."

When Americans can't trust the top law enforcement agency in the country then what will public

confidence be in all law enforcement?

The people need to believe that they are safe, protected, and free from inept bureaucrats

putting their democracy in danger.

Americans deserve so much better than that.

Share if you agree.

Sure, the Democrats Hate Trump Only Problem They're Running Out - Duration: 4:49.

Sure, the Democrats Hate Trump.

Only Problem: They�re Running Out of Cash

The Democratic National Committee continues to be plagued by record-low fundraising numbers

despite rising enthusiasm among Democratic voters � a situation that strongly suggests

supporters of the party have no faith in DNC operations.

In a report to the Federal Election Commission, the DNC revealed that it had only $6.3 million

in the bank on Dec. 1, with several million in outstanding debt.

In contrast, the RNC boasted six times this amount, $40 million, and no outstanding debt,

according to the Wall Street Journal.

The disparity could prove pivotal as the 2018 midterms quickly approach and candidates in

competitive races across the country look to their party for financial backing.

The filings were just the latest in a string of terrible financial news for the DNC as

officials continue to suffer from record-low contributions.

November was the party�s worst fundraising month in a decade.

Before that, the DNC posted its lowest October fundraising numbers in about 15 years � raking

in only $3.9 million.

This trend has ultimately resulted in the worst fundraising for the DNC in a non-election

year since 2007

While performing better than the party overall, Democratic campaign committees are also behind

their GOP counterparts.

For example, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee closed the month of November

with $34.2 million in the bank, a much smaller amount than the National Republican Campaign

Committee�s $42.3 million.

The numbers are baffling, considering the party out of power usually enjoys greater

enthusiasm and donations from party faithfuls.

In fact, a fresh Wall Street Journal/NBC survey found 50 percent of respondents prefer Democrats

to lead Congress while only 39 percent of respondents said they wanted Republicans to

maintain control.

Such vigor is proving not to be of any help to a party that has lost control of both chambers

of Congress, the White House and countless gubernatorial and state legislative seats.

One factor that appears to be a major reason Democratic donors have refused to open up

their checkbooks � reputational damage stemming from the 2016 election.

In early November, former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile revealed that the party she lead during

the 2016 election unethically favored Hillary Clinton over insurgent candidate Bernie Sanders,

something many had already suspected after former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

resigned in disgrace over the matter.

Brazile went into detail about the fundraising arrangement between the DNC and the Clinton

campaign that left the party in weak financial standing and closer than it should�ve been

to a candidate that had not yet won the nomination.

Clinton herself has piled on to the criticism of her party, stating during a conference

earlier this year, �I mean, it was bankrupt.

It was on the verge of insolvency.

Its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong.�

The terrible press this year has left the party with an abhorrent reputation and typical

donors looking elsewhere to spend their money.

After only five months on the job, the DNC fired its finance director, Emily Mellencamp

Smith, in November after no improvements in their financial situation materialized, as

reported by Politico.

Despite the staff shake-up, it doesn�t appear things are changing.

�At this point, there�s not really anyone at the DNC who I would trust with my money,�

said John Morgan, a major Florida Democratic donor, to the WSJ.

�Why would I write big checks to them when I can do my own thing?�

Trump is "definitely still involved" in his hotel business, a new report says - Duration: 14:02.

Trump is "definitely still involved" in his hotel business, a new report says

Tromp is definitely still involved in his hotel business a new report says

Even as president Trump keeps up on how his Washington DC. Hotel is doing

President Donald Trump's isn't so separate from his businesses as he would like the public to think

Throughout his campaign and through his first few months as president Trump

Has said he would distance himself from his Trump organization and hand it over to his sons in lieu of divesting entirely

Which ethics experts say he should?

They fear that otherwise he will use the presidency for his own personal gain or that his policies will be influenced by his business

Interests as far as the president flagship hotel in Washington. DC. Goes Trump is definitely still involved

According to an email sent by the hotel's director of revenue management first reported by The Daily Beast on

Friday that site published with September 12th email from Gingka hyung the director of revenue management

for the Trump International Hotel in Washington

In if he wrote that he met with Trump who asked specific questions about the hotel in his business

The message says the company is interesting being under the Trump umbrella

Djt is supposed to be out of the business and passed on to his sons

but he's definitely still involved so it's interesting and unique in that way I

had a brief meeting with him a few weeks ago, and he was asking about banquet revenues and demographics and

He asked if his presidency heard the businesses

So he seems self-aware about things at least more than he lets on I am far left-leaning

Politically so working here has been somewhat of a challenge for me, but it's all business

It's not clear when hyung met with Trump

McHale daemul in court the hotel's

Managing Director told The Daily Beast that hyung made Trump's comments up in an effort to enhance his sense of importance to a former employer

Trump's refusal to completely separate himself from his vast business Holdings has been a source of ethical consternation since his election

shortly before his inauguration Trump

And one of his lawyers Sheri Dillon

Outlined a vague plan for the president-elect to distance himself from his company at Trump Tower in New York

They announced he would put his businesses in a trust managed by his two adult sons Eric and Donald Jr

and the Trump

Organizations chief financial officer Alan weiselberger I could actually run my business and run government at the same time

I don't like the way that looks Trump said, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to

Ethics experts have argued

Divest sell-off is assets entirely and put their value into a blind trust an investment portfolio of which he would have no knowledge or control

The president is now entering a world of public service Walter Shaw former director of the Office of government ethics

the government agency that oversees

Executive branch policies related to conflict of interest said in a speech at the Brookings Institution at the start of the year

He's going to be asking his own appointees to make sacrifices

He's going to be asking our men and women in uniform to risk their lives and conflicts around the world

So no I don't think divestiture is too high a price to pay to be the President of the United States of America

Schaub resigned in July to join the campaign Legal Center a group that works on campaign finance and ethics in government

In working with the current administration

It has become clear to me that we need improvements to the existing ethics program

He said in a press release at the time. It's perhaps telling that Shaab felt. He called and reformed the government from the inside

Trump's washington hotel has been especially problematic

some of trumps businesses have struggled since his election for example a

trunk branded hotel in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood dropped the Trump name after a number of

High-profile clients refused to stay there and his golf clubs and hotels in more liberal-leaning

Areas appear to have declined in business and in some instances revenue

But the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC. Which Trump opened while campaigning for the presidency?

has flourished

According to The Wall Street, Journal the hotel brought in 18 million in revenue in the first four months of 2017 in part by hiking

It made a nearly 2 million profit during that time period despite budgeting for a 2.1 million loss

The hotel has become a sort of White House extension since the president took office

Foreign dignitaries lobbyists Republican lawmakers often visit the hotel in hopes of getting in Trump's good graces

The Washington Post in May sent reporters to the hotel every day where they spotted a range of figures and organizations

including former Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski business groups promoting Turkish American relations and former

New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani

Jimmy Carter put his peanut farm into a blind trust that had the power to sell it Noah bookbinder

Director of the bipartisan watchdog group Citizens for responsibility and ethics crew in Washington recently told Vox

It wasn't as though human foreign powers or lobbyists trying to hang out at the peanut farm to try and influence the president

It didn't have that kind of mixing of business and the office

To a large extent Trump's presidency marks the first time such an ethical conundrum has been seen in the White House

It's also shown that the rules governing presidential ethics and conflicts of interest are more guidelines or norms and enforceable laws

Cruz sued the president in January claiming that Trump's business interests were causing conflicts of interest and violating the US

Constitution specifically the foreign emoluments clause which prohibits Trump from receiving anything of value from foreign governments

Month a federal judge dismissed the case and the flow of foreign dignitaries

lawmakers and Trump allies through the Trump hotel lobby continues unabated

Our statement as released from Mikkel DeMille in court is accurate, and there is nothing more to add said Trump International Hotel

Spokeswoman Patricia tang in an email there is no conflict of interest

Thank you for watching for the follow-up subscribe to the channel yourself here these were real problems

You look at the things that they did and holder protecting the president

And I have great respect for that it will be honest. I have great respect for that breed that again

Trump's premised in this section appears to be that President Obama engaged in a wide array of criminal

undemocratic and negligent behaviors

But his attorney general protected him from justice and Trump's conclusion is that Obama's Attorney General did his job well?

To Trump the Attorney General dose and served the country or the Constitution

But the President Trump does not know what he dost know and he over estimates what he does know

The interview is not done. I know more about the big Bill's than any president. That's ever been in office

Whether it's health care and taxes especially taxes

And if I didn't I couldn't have persuaded 200 you ask mark meadows inaudible

I couldn't have persuaded 100 congressmen to go along with the bill the first bill. You know that was ultimately

Shockingly rejected. I know the details of taxes better than anybody better than the greatest CPA

I know the details of health care better than most

Better than most and if I didn't I couldn't have talked all these people into doing ultimately only to be rejected in

Psychology there's an idea known as the dunning-kruger effect

it

Refers to research by David Dunning and Justin Kruger that found the least competent people often believe they are the most competent because they lack

The very expertise needed to recognize how badly they're doing this dynamic helps explain

Comments like the one Trump makes year over the course of reporting on the Trump White House

I have spoken to people who briefed Trump and people who have been briefed by him

I've talked to policy experts who have sat in the Oval Office

Explaining their ideas to the President and to members of Congress who have listened to the president sell his ideas to them

I've talked to both Democrats and Republicans

Who have occupied these roles in all cases their judgment of Trump is identical?

He is not just notably uninformed, but also notably difficult to inform his attention span is thin

He hears what he wants to hear he wanders off topic he has trouble following complex arguments

Trump has trouble following these briefings or even correctly repeating what he has heard

This is all perfectly evident if you listen to Trump discuss policy in public momentarily for instance in this same

New York Times interview he tries to explain how he's changed Obamacare so now I have associations I have private insurance

Companies coming and will sell private health care plans to people through associations

That's gonna be millions and millions of people

People have no idea how big that is and by the way and for that we've ended across state lines so we have competition

You know fur that I am allowed to inaudible state lines, so that's all done now

I've ended the individual mandate and the other thing

I wish you tell people so when I do this and we've got health care

You know McCain did is vote dot we've created associations millions of people are joining

Associations millions that were formerly in a Bama care or didn't have insurance or didn't have health care

Millions of people that's gonna be a big bill you watch it could be as high as 50% of the people you watch

So that's a big thing and the individual mandate

so now you have associations and people don't even talk about the

Association's that could be half the people are going to be joining up with private inaudible

So now you have associations in the individual mandate

I can with some effort untangle what Trump might have been trying to say here, but it's incoherent

So suffused with have related ideas and personal obsessions

Why did Trump feel the need to bring up McCain's vote here that it's hard to say for sure at best

Trump is saying something that is comprehensible but incorrect he signed an executive order making it easier to form Association health plans

Which our health plans formed by groups of small businesses and making it easier for those plans to skirt to them occurs insurance

Regulations and to contain small businesses from multiple states as of now and Trump doesn't seem to realize this

It's just an executive order the rules defining and implementing it have not been written, so it is not yet happening

And we don't know how it will work in practice much less how many people may eventually sign up nor does the order

Actually get rid of the prohibition on selling insurance across state lines for most people

It's only for this one kind of plan which will only serve a tiny minority of the health insurance market

Whatever Trump is saying it does not reveal much fun

Garetty with health policy or even with the status and limits of his own actions and yet Trump believes himself on

Policy to be the most informed president in American history as the dunning-kruger effect suggests

He doesn't know how much he doesn't know and that combined with his natural tendency toward narcissism has left in dangerously

overconfident in his own knowledge base speaking of narcissism

We're going to win another four years for a lot of reasons most

Importantly because our country is starting to do well again, and we're being respected again

But another reason that I am going to win another four years is because newspapers

Television all forms of media will tank if I am NOT THERE because without me their ratings are going down the tubes

Without me the New York Times will indeed be not the failing New York Times, but the failed New York Times

so they basically have to let me win and

Eventually probably six months before the election they'll be loving me because they're saying please please

Don't lose Arnold Trump. What is one even to say about this isn't a joke if so

Why is Trump taking this opportunity to make it is it an attack on the media is it Trump finding another way to?

Compliment himself to give himself credit for the media's success imagine

How we would react to literally any other president speaking like this Trump has bludgeoned us into becoming accustomed to these kinds of comments

But that too is worrying. This is the President of the United States speaking to the New York Times his comments are by turns

incoherent incorrect

conspiratorial

delusional self aggrandizing and under-informed

this is not a partisan judgment indeed the interview is rarely coherent or specific enough to classify the points Trump makes on a

Recognizable left-right spectrum as has been true since he entered American politics Trump is interested in Trump over the course of the interview

He mentions his electoral college strategy seven times in each case using it to

Underscore his political savvy and to suggest that he could easily have won the popular vote if he had tried I am NOT a medical

Professional and I will not pretend to know what is truly happening here

It's become a common conversation topic in Washington to muse on whether the president is suffering from some form of cognitive decline

psychological malady

I don't think those hypotheses are necessary or meaningful

Whatever the cause it is plainly obvious from Trump's words that this is not a man fit to be President that he is not well

You
