Trump news on Youtube Nov 1 2018

This is the Trump we love!

When something needs doing, he doesn't do it small.

Originally, there was a plan to send only a 1000 troops to the border to stop the migrant

caravan invasion force.

Then Trump was like, "Nah, we need ta go big time."

And boom, now 5200 active-duty troops are on the way, and there could be even more sent.

When was the last time a president acted this boldly to secure our border?

I don't think a president ever has until Trump!

USA Today reported:

"Just one week shy of the midterm elections, the Pentagon will deploy at least 5,200 active-duty

troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to prevent members of a migrant caravan from

illegally entering the country, the Department of Defense announced Monday.

About 2,100 National Guard troops already were fanned out across the border under an

order from President Donald Trump this year.

In recent weeks, the president has been warning repeatedly about the dangers posed by the

caravan of mostly Central American migrants, which stands at about 3,500 people after 1,700

of them filed asylum applications in Mexico or accepted assistance to return to their

home countries.

Administration officials said last week that they were considering a plan to send up to

1,000 active-duty troops to the border, but that deployment, dubbed Operation Faithful

Patriot, will now surpass 5,200, said Gen. Terrence O'Shaughnessy, commander of U.S.

Northern Command.

He said the number of troops could rise depending on the demands placed on U.S. Customs and

Border Protection agents manning the border.

"That is just the start of this operation," O'Shaughnessy said during a news conference

at CBP headquarters in Washington on Monday.

"Border security is national security."

National Guard units have already been assisting by monitoring video surveillance feeds to

direct Border Patrol agents manning the vast stretches between U.S. ports of entry.

The new deployment of active-duty troops will include helicopter and other aviation units

armed with night vision technology to help identify anyone trying to illegally cross

the border, and to deploy CBP agents to apprehend them, O'Shaughnessy said.

"We will be able to spot and identify groups, and rapidly deploy," he said.

The operation will also include engineering units to build temporary barriers, lay out

concertina wire at ports of entry, and construct temporary housing for U.S. personnel, he said.

About 800 troops are already en route to Texas from Fort Campbell and Fort Knox, and more

will follow this week headed toward Arizona and California.

Typically, migrant caravans travel in numbers to seek safety and avoid risks such as kidnap,

rape and extortion.

When the last migrant caravan reached the U.S. border in April, a majority of people

presented themselves at ports of entry to request asylum, a legal way to enter the United

States.

A Homeland Security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because plans were

not yet finalized, said the president is expected to deliver a speech this week to outline further

actions to halt the migrant caravan, which could include limiting, or halting, the ability

of migrants to request asylum.

That move would be predicated on national security arguments similar to those used to

enact Trump's travel ban last year on certain individuals from Muslim-dominated countries

and would meet the same legal challenges by immigration advocacy and civil rights organizations."

We explain "Nordic Socialism" to Trump - Duration: 1:38.

My dear American friends, here we go again.

It seems that President Trump is pretty obsessed with my country, Denmark.

The White House released a report -

- in which it warns against "Nordic Socialism".

The report claims that the living standards in the US -

- are 15% higher than in Denmark.

Really? Higher for who?

Well, it's true that the top 1% in the US -

- are much richer than the top 1% in Denmark.

And here's what the report doesn't show.

An average blue-collar worker in Denmark makes far more -

- than an average worker in the US.

A person working at McDonald's in the US makes less than half -

- of what a person working at McDonald's in Denmark makes.

We pay quite a bit more in taxes in Denmark -

- but for that you get free health care, you get free education.

So all in all your average living standard is much higher.

Let's look at poverty.

The percentage of people that are poor in the US -

- is three times higher.

That means we have a lot less people living, sleeping and begging in the streets.

Maybe you're right Mr. President - in the US, but in -

- ordinary people can still fulfill their dreams.

Trump vows to end birthright citizenship with executive order - Duration: 1:12.

With less than a week left before the U.S. midterm elections, U.S. President Donald Trump's

claims that he can end birthright citizenship are expected to spark a Constitutional debate.

Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

President Trump says he could end birthright citizenship.

In an exclusive interview with HBO and an American online media outlet, Axios... Trump

explained that his administration is mulling an executive order that would remove the right

to citizenship for babies of noncitizens and undocumented immigrants who are born on U.S.

soil.

"We are the only country in the world, where a person comes in and has a baby, and the

baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits.

It's redicules.

And it has to end."

Such remarks are expected to set up a constitutional battle on whether the president can terminate

with an executive order,... the 14th Amendment of the Constitution which stipulates that

all persons born or naturalized in the U.S., are citizens of the country.

Yet, with the midterm elections coming up in less than a week,... his remarks are seen

as a way of garnering votes from supporters of his hardline policies on immigration.

Trump Turns Tables, Slaps Stormy with 6-Figure Demand in Legal Battle - Duration: 3:00.

No one's ever said Donald Trump doesn't know how to fight back.

Republican competitors for the presidential nomination learned that during the 2016 primary

campaign.

Hillary Clinton, the Democrats and the mainstream media learned it during the general election.

And if porn star Stormy Daniels and her aggressive attorney Michael Avenatti didn't know it

already, they're learning it now.

According to the Washington Examiner, Trump's attorneys are asking for a six-figure judgment

from Daniels after a judge tossed a defamation suit Daniels filed against the president in

mid-October.

As the Los Angeles Times reported, the Oct. 15 ruling by Judge James S. Otero of the U.S.

District Court in Los Angeles made Daniels liable for the attorneys' fees Trump incurred

in defending himself against the defamation suit.

In a court filing Monday, according to the Washington Examiner, Trump's attorneys are

seeking $341,559.50.

And the wording is scathing.

The filing, according to the Examiner, argues that Daniels and Avenatti "filed this action,

not because it had any merit, but instead for the ulterior purposes of raising her media

profile, engaging in political attacks against the president by herself and her attorney,

who has appeared on more than 150 national television news interviews attacking the President

and now is exploring a run for the presidency himself in 2020."

According to the Los Angeles Times, the defamation lawsuit related to a Twitter post Trump published

in the spring, mocking a description Daniels gave of a man she claimed had threatened her

in 2011 as a warning to keep her from speaking publicly about a sexual encounter she claims

she had with Trump in 2006.

That tweet was protected free speech under the First Amendment, Otero ruled.

And Trump immediately made it clear that he intended to take advantage of the fact that

he could force Daniels to pay his legal fees.

On Tuesday, according to the Washington Examiner, Avenatti scoffed at the figure Trump is seeking.

And his lawsuit against related to a non-disclosure agreement Daniels signed related to her alleged

encounter with Trump would more than make up for it, he claimed.

"This is a number created out of whole cloth," Avenatti said in a statement, the newspaper

reported.

"And it is nothing compared to what he will owe my client from the main NDA case."

Maybe.

And maybe Avenatti, who has made noises about seeking the Democratic presidential nomination

in 2020, will keep fighting Trump in court.

But as he and his client are already learning, Donald Trump knows how to fight back.

Donald Trump Just Announced The Migrant Caravan's Worst Nightmare - Duration: 3:49.

The migrant caravan barging through Mexico is the hottest issue in the final days of

the 2018 campaign.

Migrants believe they can storm into America and get amnesty.

But Donald Trump just announced the migrant mob's worst nightmare.

Donald Trump Shocks Washington With New Plan To Combat Illegal Immigration

Magnets attract illegal immigrants to America.

The welfare state is a magnet.

Employers who are willing to hire illegal aliens to depress American workers wages is

another.

Another magnet is birthright citizenship.

These magnets are helping to drive the caravan toward invading America.

The Fourteenth Amendment reads, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States,

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State

wherein they reside."

The current reading of that amendment gives the children of illegal aliens American citizenship.

The ability of illegal aliens to give birth to what are known as "anchor babies" is

a magnet for illegal immigration.

Donald Trump campaigned on ending birthright citizenship.

Everyone thought it would take an act of Congress.

They thought wrong.

Trump told Axios in an exclusive interview that he was planning to end birthright citizenship

by executive order.

"It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment.

Guess what?

You don't," Trump told Axios.

Trump's White House counsel signed off on the plan.

He stated, "You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress.

But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order."

He explained why he wanted to move forward with this plan.

"We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the

baby is essentially a citizen of the United States … with all of those benefits,"

Trump explained.

"It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous.

And it has to end."

Why Trump Can End Birthright Citizenship And Why It's Bad News For Migrants

Legal scholars laughed at Trump.

They claim a plain reading of the 14th amendment clearly grants citizenship to the children

of illegal aliens.

But they are wrong.

The Senators who wrote the 14th amendment never intended to grant the citizenship guarantee

to foreigners.

Senator Jacob Howard – who drafted the 14th amendment – made it clear aliens were not

granted birthright citizenship by his amendment.

The Senate's original record of the 1866 debate over the 14th amendment shows him saying:

EVERY PERSON BORN WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE UNITED STATES, AND SUBJECT TO THEIR JURISDICTION,

IS BY VIRTUE OF NATURAL LAW AND NATIONAL LAW A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES.

THIS WILL NOT, OF COURSE, INCLUDE PERSONS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE FOREIGNERS,

ALIENS, WHO BELONG TO THE FAMILIES OF AMBASSADORS OR FOREIGN MINISTERS ACCREDITED TO THE GOVERNMENT

OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT WILL INCLUDE EVERY OTHER CLASS OF PERSONS.

IT SETTLES THE GREAT QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP AND REMOVES ALL DOUBT AS TO WHAT PERSONS ARE

OR ARE NOT CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES.

THIS HAS LONG BEEN A GREAT DESIDERATUM IN THE JURISPRUDENCE AND LEGISLATION OF THIS

COUNTRY

The plain reading of the amendment – that illegal aliens are not under the jurisdiction

of the United States because they are from a foreign country – as well as the original

intent of the drafters, make it clear that Trump can end birthright citizenship for illegal

aliens.

Trump is doing what he was elected to do – take dramatic action to turn off the magnets for

illegal immigration.

We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this ongoing story.

Pittsburgh Just Erupted In Protest As Trump Visits Synagogue Massacre Scene - Duration: 2:49.

Mayor Bill Peduto told him that he wasn't welcome.

The survivors just wanted to be left in peace to bury their dead, murdered by an anti-Semite

who was inspired by the unwelcome guest's loathsome campaign lies about diseased invading

hoards financed by Jewish "globalists."

Even the senior members of his own party refused to accompany him.

Donald Trump ignored them all and flew to Pittsburgh today anyway, only to be confronted

by thousands of livid local citizens who declared that the president "unwelcome in our city

and in our country" according to the Facebook post organizing one of the two major protests

that eventually merged into one giant anti-Trump rally.

Mayor Peduto warned Trump of the reaction he would face and the danger he was inflicting

upon the people of Pittsburgh with his visit.

"All attention should be on the victims," Peduto said Monday.

"We do not have enough public safety officials to provide enough protection at the funerals

and … at the same time draw attention to a potential presidential visit."

Consequently, both Mayor Peduto and Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald refused to

appear with the president after he decided to ignore the wishes of the mourners and travel

to the scene of the slaughter he had inspired.

Protestors were adamant that the president's visit was an insult to the memories of the

slain victims.

"This didn't happen in a vacuum, "Ardon Shorr told The Washington Post.

"There is a growing trend of white nationalism.

And that has been enabled by Trump, who traffics in the kind of conspiracy theories that we

know were foremost in the mind of the shooter last Saturday.

He's not tolerated here, and we didn't consent to him coming."

"He's done nothing but stoke the type of fear and hatred that led to this," said

Ben Case, 34.

"And he's coming here for a photo op and to check it off his list.

But we know he's not part of the solution."

More than 70,000 people signed a letter authored by the Pittsburgh chapter of Bend the Arc:

A Jewish Partnership for Justice that called on the president to stay away from the city

until he denounced white nationism and anti-Semitism and ceased his war on immigrants and minorities.

Nevertheless, according to the White House pool report, Trump's motorcade pushed past

the protestors, and he and Melania entered the tree of Life synagogue, accompanied by

his Jewish escorts, daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

He made his obligatory photo op outside the synagogue, placing flowers and stones at memorials

to the victims before leaving for a hospital to visit some of

the wounded.

Trump news on Youtube Oct 31 2018

Donald and Melania Trump arrived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Tuesday to mourn the 11 victims of Saturday's Tree of Life synagogue massacre – dodging protesters without the benefit of congressional leaders to diffuse their anger

Israel's ambassador to the U.S., Ron Dermer, also made the trip, along with Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner

Both are Orthodox Jews who serve as senior presidential advisers. The Trumps and Dermer went with Rabbi Jeffrey Myers into the vestibule of the synagogue to light candles in the martyrs' memory

Then they laid stones and white flowers at each of the 11 memorial sites outside

Myers said earlier in the day that the interior of the synagogue, still an active crime scene, was too bullet-riddled to be used for worship

Later the president visited UPMC Presbyterian hospital, where the wounded including four police officers are recovering

In the city's Squirrel Hill neighborhood a crowd estimated at 2,000 people gathered to protest against the president's presence

With police trying to clear them from city streets, they marched behind a banner urging the president to 'fully renounce white nationalism

'The larger of two protest marches was organized by a group called IfNotNow Pittsburgh, along with a coalition that included local branches of Democratic Socialists of America and the International Socialist Organization, according to The Forward

'We certainly don't want Trump to feel welcome,' IfNotNow activist Ella Mason told the paper

Her group told the Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle in 2017 that its goal was to end the Israeli 'occupation' of Palestinians in the Middle East

'Large banners addressed immigration, gay rights, the Black Lives Matter movement and, more generically, 'hatred

' Marchers paraded past TV cameras, singing songs including 'This Land is Your Land

'As the presidential motorcade snaked eastward through the city, a few Pittsburghers offered what a pool reporter described as 'the thumbs down, or a middle finger up

' One man shouted: 'We didn't invite you here!' Another held a sign that read 'Trump ♥️ Nazis

' Senate and House members from both sides of the political aisle declined to join the president and first lady, while the mayor questioned the timing of the first couple's visit honoring the 11 victims of Saturday's mass-shooting

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi all declined invitations to join the Trumps inThe lawmakers' decisions to decline the White House's invitation came in the wake of the mayor of Pittsburgh suggesting the Trumps should visit at a different time

In the city itself, hundreds of mourners lined the streets and waited to get into the funerals of three of the victims of the anti-Semitic attack at a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday

David and Cecil Rosenthal, 54, and 59, were laid to rest in a joint ceremony which was attended by the Pittsburgh Steelers

At the same time, Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz was eulogized in a separate ceremony at the Jewish Community Center

The brothers were both killed in the basement kitchen of the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill on Saturday by gunman Robert Bowers

They lived together in a home nearby and volunteered at the synagogue often. Mayor Bill Peduto told CNN Monday evening that he tried to tell the White House the city's first priority on Tuesday will be the funerals – not the first couple's visit

'I do believe that it would be best to put the attention on the families this week and if he were to visit choose a different time to be able to do it,' Peduto said

'Our focus as a city will be on the families and the outreach they will need this week and the support they'll need to get through it

' Peduto said 'all attention [Tuesday] should be on the victims.' He also pointed to the logistical problems brought on by a presidential visit, which requires heavy security

'We do not have enough public safety officials to provide enough protection at the funerals and to be able at the same time draw attention to a potential presidential visit,' Peduto said Monday

But the president begins a heavy campaign schedule on Wednesday – 11 rallies in six days in the lead up to next Tuesday's election

The synagogue has been closed since the shooting and the funerals will take place through Friday

People in Pittsburgh are divided on the president's visit. To Marianne Novy, President Trump isn't wanted 'unless he really changes his ways

' For David Dvir, politics should take a pause for grief: 'It's our president, and we need to welcome him

'Trump is once again called upon to step into the all-too-frequent role of national consoler after the worst instance of anti-Semitic violence in American history

The president's visit to the Pittsburgh neighborhood, where Novy and Dvir live, comes as he struggles to balance appeals for national unity with partisan campaign rhetoric just a week before contentious midterm elections

Trump said late Monday he was looking forward to the visit.'Well, I'm just going to pay my respects,' Trump told Fox News Channel's Laura Ingraham

'I'm also going to the hospital to see the officers and some of the people that were so badly hurt

' Trump is traveling to the historic hub of the city's Jewish community as the first funerals are scheduled to be held for the victims, who range in age from 54 to 97

He is expected to meet with first responders and community leaders. The death toll includes a set of brothers, a husband and wife, professors, dentists and a physician

It was not immediately clear whether Trump, who will be joined by first lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner, would meet with any family members

The White House said the purpose of Trump's visit was to 'express the support of the American people and to grieve with the Pittsburgh community

'Trump's trip is set against the backdrop of national unease over incidents of political violence and hate, and questions about his credibility as unifier

Since his 2016 campaign for the White House, Trump has at times been slow to denounce white nationalists, neo-Nazis and other hate-filled individuals and groups that found common cause with his nationalistic political rhetoric

In Squirrel Hill, Barry Werber, 76, who said he survived the massacre by hiding in a dark storage closet as the gunman rampaged through the building, said he hoped Trump wouldn't visit, noting that the president has embraced the politically fraught label of 'nationalist

' Werber said the Nazis were nationalists.'It's part of his program to instigate his base,' Werber said, and 'bigots are coming out of the woodwork

'Novy, 73, a retired college English professor, said she signed an open letter asking Trump not to come to Pittsburgh

'His language has encouraged hatred and fear of immigrants, which is part of the reason why these people were killed,' she said

Just minutes before the synagogue attack, the shooter apparently took to social media to rage against HIAS, a Jewish organization that resettles refugees under contract with the U

S. government. more videos 1 2 3 Watch video President Trump visits PA synagogue where 11 people were killed Watch video Three children killed while crossing the street in Indiana Watch video Funerals held for brothers and doctor killed in synagogue attack Watch video Students flee Butler High School hall after seeing a peer with a gun Watch video Second caravan continues journey as they cross into Mexico Watch video Notorious Boston mob boss 'Whitey' Bulger found dead in prison Watch video Super excited Labrador dog charges into giant pile of leaves Watch video UFC fighter Stephan Bonnar is arrested in a DUI crash in Nevada Watch video Police dispatch audio reveals horror of synagogue massacre Watch video Cruz and O'Rourke thank their supporters in tight Senate race Watch video Naked man prowls outside Santa Ana home and peers through windows Watch video Trump says he wants to end 'ridiculous' birthright citizenship Dvir, 52, the owner of Murray Avenue Locksmith in Squirrel Hill, said of Trump, 'I think he made some mistakes, but he is a great president

Asked Monday if Trump has done enough to condemn white nationalism, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the president 'has denounced racism, hatred and bigotry in all forms on a number of occasions

'She added: 'Some individuals – they're grieving, they're hurting. The president wants to be there to show the support of this administration for the Jewish community

The rabbi said that he is welcome as well.'Local and religious leaders were divided on whether Trump should visit

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, a Democrat, told reporters ahead of the announced visit that the White House ought to consult with the families of the victims about their preferences and asked that the president not come during a funeral

''You can protest later on,' she added. 'To me it's sacred what happened here.'THE VICTIMS OF THE PITTSBURGH MASSACRE Bernice and Sylvan Simon, 84 and 86 The Simons, who had been married for 62 years, were sitting in the back of the main sanctuary when the gunman opened fire

Sylvan, a retired accountant, was still recovering from recently breaking his arm and the couple had no time to escape

They have two adult sons and grandchildren. They were memorialized as pillars of the community who regularly helped out and would do 'anything' for their friends

The pair got married in the Tree of Life in 1956 in a candlelit ceremony. Gottfried was preparing to retire from his dental practice and enjoy the next chapter of his life with his wife Peg

He helped out at the synagogue, making sure the rabbis had everything they needed to lead services

'He died doing what he liked to do most,' said Don Salvin, Gottfried's brother-in-law said

Rose was the oldest of the victims. She was also in the main sanctuary when she was gunned down

She was among the most devout and was who immediately sprang to the minds of others when they heard about the shooting

'You've never met a more vivacious 97-year-old. 'She was just so full of life. She had so much energy,' Brian Schreiber, another member of the congregation, told The Post Gazette

Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz was eulogized by his medical practice partner who said: 'He is one of the finest people I've ever met

'We've been in practice together for 30 years and friends longer than that. 'His patients are going to miss him terribly

His family is going to miss him terribly and I am going to miss him. He was just one of the kindest, finest people

' Cecil Rosenthal, 59, David Rosenthal, 54 Brothers Cecil and David Rosenthal both suffered disabilities and were regular volunteers at the synagogue

On Saturday, they were preparing food for breakfast in the basement kitchen when they were attacked

The pair lived together nearby. They were remembered fondly by the congregation's rabbi

'Cecil and David had a love for life and for those around them. 'They loved their community

They spent a lot of time at the Tree of Life, never missing a Saturday,' Chris Schopf, vice president of residential supports for ACHIEVA, an organization which helps manage the community home where they lived

Stein was another fixture in the Jewish community. Friends said he was proud of his faith and that it was important to him and his family

On Sunday, his adult son Joe said it was the 'worst day of his life' discovering he was among the dead

'My dad's life was taken at the Tree of Life shooting. My mom, sister and I are absolutely devastated and crushed

'Our lives now are going to have to take a different path, one that we thought would not happen for a long time

'My dad was a simple man and did not require much,' he said, sharing a photograph of him with one of his grandchildren

Melvin Wax, 88Melvin was one of three people who were killed downstairs. He was hiding in a closet with others from the New Light congregation when he went back into the room they had been in because he could no longer hear gunshots

That is when he was confronted by the gunman and was shot three times. Barry Werber, who had been hiding with him in the closet and survived, said he was a 'gentleman' who was always the first to arrive for services

'He was a gem. He was a gentleman . There was always a smile on his face,' he said

Irving Younger, 69Younger was a father and a grandfather. His neighbors have told how he 'never had an unkind word' to say about anyone

'He was the most wonderful dad and grandpa. He talked about his daughter and his grandson, always, and he never had an unkind word to say about anybody,' neighbor Tina Prizner told The Tribune Press

He went every day to the synagogue, where he was an usher, she said. 'He was so kind

He was a beautiful person, a beautiful soul.'Widow Joyce Fienberg was a retired university researcher who left her job in 2008
