Trump news on Youtube Jan 31 2019

A ver si luego no quiere también intervenir, digo, exigir el respeto a los derechos humanos en México… mientras tanto, el presidente Donald Trump se conforma con que, debido al alza de homicidios reportados en nuestro país (según sus cuentas, estamos per que Afganistán),  se construya el muro fronterizo

Como ya es una tradición (pero de las más gachas), Trump se aventó sus tuits mañaneros y en esta ocasión (otra vez), fueron para señalar por qué es urgente –según él– que se construya el muro fronterizo México-Estados Unidos

Entre muchas razones para que se otorgue financiamiento para concretar su promesa de campaña, el republicano refirió estadísticas que indican que, en 2018, los asesinatos en nuestro país tuvieron un incremento del 33% con relación al año anterior

Tanta muerte violenta (33 mil 341 casos registrados), "es una gran contribución a la crisis humanitaria que tiene lugar en nuestra frontera sur y luego se extiende por todo nuestro país

Peor que en Afganistán. Muchas causadas por drogas, ¡el muro está construyéndose"", escribió Trump en su cuenta Twitter

De acuerdo con Trump, con el incremento de 33% en asesinatos en México, ninguna persona "en su sano juicio" tendría alguna razón para oponerse a la construcción del muro fronterizo… así que "la construcción ha comenzado y no se detendrá hasta que esté terminada", remató en otro tuitazo

Pero bien, será muy manchado y todo el presidente de Estados Unidos… pero, lamentablemente tiene razón

No en que sea urgente el muro fronterizo, sino en lo relacionado con el número de muertes en nuestro país, en comparación con Afganistán… al menos si tomamos en cuenta los datos que ofrece Semáforo Delictivo y los pronósticos que por ahí de junio lanzaba Uppsala Conflict Data Program

El dato al que hizo referencia Trump fue el que hace unos días dio a conocer Semáforo Delictivo: 2018 fue el peor de los últimos 20 años para México, en cuestión de violencia: se rompió récord, con 28 mil 816 carpetas por homicidios, y con más de 33 mil víctimas por hechos violentos… lo que equivale a 90 muertes por día

Por otra parte, según Business Insider (con datos de Uppsala Conflict Data Program), en agosto del año pasado se preveía que la cifra de asesinatos en Afganistán "apenas" rebasara 20 mil, esto incluyendo civiles y combatientes, de ambos lados

Recordemos que este país lleva varios años en guerra  y que 2017 lo cerró con cerca de 19 mil decesos

Y nosotros si guerra (en teoría), pero alcanzando esas cifras criminales… algo, definitivamente, no está bien

DONALD TRUMP IS IN GRAVE DANGER! THIS WILL SHOCK THE NATION - Duration: 10:20.

DONALD TRUMP IS IN GRAVE DANGER!

THIS WILL SHOCK THE NATION..

In a hilarious turn of events Democrats are threatening to boycott Starbucks over its

ex-CEO's decision to potentially run in 2020 as an independent, the Daily Mail is

reporting:

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg fired a warning shot in the direction of former Starbucks

CEO Howard Schultz on Monday, saying he shouldn't mount an independent campaign for president

because he could prevent the Democratic Party from defeating President Donald Trump in 2020.

Third-party White House runs tend to peel votes away from major-party candidates, splitting

the support from one side in a way that benefits the other.

Democratic activists have begun to openly suggest boycotting Starbucks, a company in

which Schultz maintains significant ownership, until he commits that he won't disrupt the

Democrats' chances to unify behind a single anti-Trump challenger.

What's extra funny about this of course is that liberals love Starbucks and Starbucks

loves liberals.

Even better Howard Schultz no longer runs Starbucks.

Bloomberg also has an ulterior motive for attacking Schultz:

Bloomberg himself toyed with an independent presidential campaign in 2008 and 2016.

He is now 76 years old and says he will run in the Democratic primary if he decides to

enter the 2020 field.

'I faced exactly the same decision now facing others who are considering it,' he said

in a statement Monday.

'The data was very clear and very consistent.

Given the strong pull of partisanship and the realities of the electoral college system,

there is no way an independent can win.'

'In 2020, the great likelihood is that an independent would just split the anti-Trump

vote and end up re-electing the President.

That's a risk I refused to run in 2016 and we can't afford to run it now,' he added.

'We must remain united, and we must not allow any candidate to divide or fracture

us.

The stakes couldn't be higher.'

Schultz thinks enough people are frustrated with the two party system that there's a

real opportunity for an independent, while Democrats are worried he'd be a spoiler

and help re-elect Trump:

'I believe that lifelong Democrats and lifelong Republicans are looking for a home,' he

told Axios on Sunday night, while acknowledging that talk of a vote-splitting campaign 'is

going to create hate, anger, disenfranchisement from friends, from Democrats.'

The prospect of Schultz, 56, unintentionally playing a spoiler role and helping Trump stay

in office isn't sitting well with would-be Starbucks boycotters.

Grab some popcorn, this is going to be fun as a champion of the left gets eaten by the

left.

Best guess is when Schultz is faced with the enormous cost of running combined with the

very real obstacles to a third party candidacy, he won't run.

President Trump also believes this: Of course Trump could just be trying

to egg

Schultz on.

CHUCK SCHUMER SUFFERS ANOTHER BETRAYAL IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST TRUMP'S WALL - Duration: 10:21.

CHUCK SCHUMER SUFFERS ANOTHER BETRAYAL IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST TRUMP'S WALL

Chuck Schumer thought he had President Trump on the ropes.

The Democratic Senator believed he had won in the battle over the President's proposed

border wall with Mexico.

But Schumer is now reeling from another shocking betrayal in his fight against Trump's wall.

Chuck Schumer has a major problem.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer thought he had the votes to forever stonewall,

obstruct, and block a vote on any aspect of President Trump's proposed border wall with

Mexico.

With an agreement to end the shutdown now taking effect, Schumer had every reason to

gloat.

He thought his stranglehold over the Senate was unbreakable.

But he was wrong.

Schumer never thought Senators in his own party would betray him.

But that's no longer the case.

The Daily Caller reports, "Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan said on Monday

that she supports "strategic fencing" on the southern border based on the opinions

of experts on the ground."

"Last Thursday we had a bipartisan discussion on the Senate floor about the importance of

ending the shutdown, which, there was bipartisan agreement, was needless and harmful to the

American people and our economy," the New Hampshire Democrat said to CNN.

"We all pledged to work in good faith to find common ground on border security.

That's what I'm committed to doing, and I think that really starts with making sure

we're listening to the experts on the front lines on this, and that may include strategic

fencing in certain places," Senator Hassan added.

It's now clear Schumer is losing support in the Senate in his bid to block any advancement

of President Trump's proposed border security measures.

With Senator Hassan signaling that she is open to backing the wall, or at least portions

of the wall, based on the input of experts and as part of a bipartisan compromise, Schumer

is now in a tough spot.

He either needs to quell dissent immediately, or begin working with President Trump to strike

a compromise.

And it may be too late to quell dissent.

Hardline opposition to President Trump is beginning to crumble among Congressional Democrats,

many of whom represent states or districts that Trump won or came close to winning in

2016.

With the 2020 elections just around the corner, many Congressional Democrats are going to

be casting votes with an eye on swing voters which will be crucial for their re-election.

And Hassan barely won election to the Senate in the first place.

Schumer can't keep his caucus in line behind the "no deals" pledge he effectively made

earlier in the shutdown.

And if the Senate passes a bipartisan bill to construct even parts of Trump's wall,

the House will be under even more pressure to do the same.

It's unclear what the final details of such a compromise bill will look like, and whether

it can pass the GOP-held Senate and the Democratic House.

But it's obvious that many Democrats are beginning to break ranks with Chuck Schumer

and Nancy Pelosi.

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

Trump tells Americans not to travel to Venezuela and credits U.S. sanctions for Maduro talks - Duration: 17:39.

President Donald Trump warned Americans not to travel to Venezuela on Wednesday, echoing his State Department's warning that the country is unstable, while crediting his sanctions for dictator Nicolas Maduro's offer to negotiate

Maduro said overnight that he would be willing to sit down with opposition leader Juan Guaido and international mediators

He's refusing to bow to demands that he hold a free and fair election immediately, however

'The presidential elections in Venezuela took place, and if the imperialists want new elections, let them wait until 2025,' Maduro told Russian state-media outlet RIA

Trump in an early-morning tweet said that U.S.sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil companies changed Maduro's tune on talks

'Maduro willing to negotiate with opposition in Venezuela following U.S.sanctions and the cutting off of oil revenues,' he announced

'Guaido is being targeted by Venezuelan Supreme Court.Massive protest expected today

Americans should not travel to Venezuela until further notice.' Amid the increasing tension, the State Department warned Americans on Tuesday against traveling to the nation, which is seeing a resurgence of street protests and deaths of demonstrators, amid continuing chaos in the nation

Guaido assumed the presidency of Venezuela last week on a pledge to restore democracy, and the U

S.swiftly recognized him as the leader of the Latin American country.He is the head of the Venezuelan National Assembly, a body that Maduro has tried to totally undermine by having the democratically elected body replaced and stripped of its powers

Maduro has accused the United States of orchestrating a coup, and appealed to American citizens on social media early Wednesday morning to stop its government from interfering in the affairs of Latin America

'People of the # USA , I ask for your support to reject the interference of the Donald Trump government that intends to make of My Homeland a Vietnam in Latin America

Do not Let Him!' Maduro tweeted.He shared a direct to camera video on Twitter and Facebook, in Spanish, alongside the message in which he made a similar plea

In other messages on Tuesday and Wednesday, he shared photos of himself rallying soldiers during a military exercise, and announced on Twitter on that he'd deploying 50,000 troops to keep the peace in neighborhoods

'We have an extraordinary operational readiness, in keeping with the national defense,' he said in one

He proclaimed in another: 'I am and will be at the forefront of this battle.I count on the discipline and loyalty of the soldiers and soldiers of the Homeland

We are going to the deployment for peace, independence and sovereignty!' The Trump administration took another step to ratchet up pressure prior to Maduro's announcement, granting Guaido the ability to access the regime's frozen U

S.bank accounts.The State Department announced the move a day after the U.S.Treasury slapped sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned oil companies and set in place a system to freeze accounts that also could be placed under Guaido's control

Venezuela immediately hit back, with the nation's attorney general warning Guaido was not free to leave the country

We denounce the illegitimate former Venezuelan Attorney General's threats against President Juan Guaido

Let me reiterate - there will be serious consequences for those who attempt to subvert democracy and harm Guaido

Maduro also claimed Donald Trump ordered the Colombian government and mafia to assassinate him, as a mystery Russian jet landed in Venezuela this week 'to ship out gold from the central bank'

Maduro said that he has no doubt that the US President 'gave the order to Colombia to kill me' and that if something happens to him 'Donald Trump will be responsible'

Despite his hard line against Trump, Maduro said he is willing to negotiate with Guaido, who is recognized as president by the US and most Western nations as of last week

Meanwhile, a Russian chartered Boeing 777 - carrying just two crewmembers and no passengers - landed in Caracas, allegedly to carry 20 tons of gold from the Central Bank of Venezuela out of the country

That move drew yet another stern response from National Security Advisor John Bolton

'We denounce the illegitimate former Venezuelan Attorney General's threats against President Juan Guaido

Let me reiterate - there will be serious consequences for those who attempt to subvert democracy and harm Guaido,' Bolton tweeted

Under the latest U.S.policy, Guaido, who declared himself the legitimate president of the country, can access accounts maintained by the government and the nation's central bank

The move would 'protect Venezuela's patrimony from further theft by Maduro's corrupt regime,' according to the statement, calling out President Nicolas Maduro's government

'This certification will help Venezuela's legitimate government safeguard those assets for the benefit of the Venezuelan people,' it continued

Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek Saab said he had asked the Supreme Court to open a preliminary investigation into Guaido, accusing him of helping foreign countries to interfere in internal matters

He also asked the court to impose a travel ban on the 35-year-old leader and to freeze his bank accounts

Bolton responded by warning of 'serious consequences,' while state-run oil company PDVSA sought to sidestep U

S.sanctions.In another sign of support, Vice President Mike Pence met with Guaido's newly named acting Charge d'affaires Carlos Alfredo Vecchio

He said at the White House Tuesday his nation had a 'unique opportunity' now after 20 years of fighting for democracy

'We have a united opposition right now.we have a strong national assembly.and we have the democratic world backing us, supporting our agenda, so this is a unique opportunity,' he said

'This is a fight between a dictatorship, which is totally controlled by the Cuban regime, against the free world

We cannot do this alone,' he added.The sweeping sanctions on PDVSA, announced on Monday and aimed at curbing crude exports to the United States and driving Maduro from power, were the strongest measures yet against the 56-year-old former union leader who has overseen economic collapse and an exodus of millions of Venezuelans in recent years

The measures triggered higher global oil prices, angry responses from China and Russia and the first serious moves against Guaido since he challenged Maduro's claim on the presidency last week

The United States and several other countries have recognized Guaido as Venezuela's legitimate head of state and denounced Maduro as a usurper

Maduro, sworn in on Jan.10 for a second term after disputed elections last year, accuses Guaido of staging a U

S.-directed coup against him.Maduro is backed by a number of countries, including Russia

Maduro's inauguration sparked protests throughout Venezuela.Over 40 people are believed to have been killed in political violence last week, including 26 shot by pro-government forces, five killed in house raids and 11 during looting, U

N.human rights spokesman Rupert Colville said on Tuesday.He said more than 850 people were detained between Jan

21 and Jan.26, including 77 children, some as young as 12.Guaido said on Tuesday he did not underestimate the threat of imprisonment but did not believe it was 'anything new

'Many opposition leaders have been imprisoned in the South American nation.'We are here

We will keep acting and working to confront the humanitarian crisis,' Guaido told a news conference

Most experts believe the sanctions and other measures against Maduro will encourage him to step down only if he loses the support of the powerful military, which until now has been mostly loyal to the leftist ruling party founded by late President Hugo Chavez

Maduro appeared on a television broadcast from a military base on Tuesday, praising the soldiers' loyalty

As a lawmaker who heads the National Assembly, Guaido has immunity from prosecution unless ordered by a top court

However, the Supreme Court is loyal to Maduro and is expected to quickly open the investigation

The U.S.State Department said on Tuesday it had certified Guaido's authority to control certain assets held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or other U

S.-insured banks, including government and central bank accounts.PDVSA responded to the sanctions by ordering customers with tankers waiting to load crude destined for the United States to prepay, according to sources

Such prepayment could be in violation of the sanctions, setting the stage for a standoff at the ports

PDVSA is also seeking to sidestep the sanctions by asking major buyers, including U

S.refiners, to renegotiate contracts, sources said.The Kremlin condemned the sanctions as illegal interference, while China said they would lead to suffering for which Washington would bear responsibility

Both countries have lent billions of dollars to Venezuela and are concerned about new stress on debt payments

International Brent crude oil futures rose over 2 percent on Tuesday in reaction.Venezuela is among the world's largest heavy crude oil producers

The new U.S.sanctions could cause problems for Venezuela when it comes to servicing its sovereign debt to Russia, which stands at $3

15 billion, Russian Deputy Finance Minister Sergei Storchak told reporters on Tuesday

In Geneva, senior U.S.and Venezuelan diplomats traded jibes at a disarmament conference

Venezuela's ambassador, Jorge Valero, said the administration of U.S.President Donald Trump was preparing a 'military invasion' and questioned whether Washington had the moral authority to 'impose a diktat' on Caracas

Venezuela has sunk into economic and political turmoil under Maduro's socialist government, with inflation seen rising to 10 million percent this year

The loss of revenue from the United States, the No.1 buyer of Venezuelan crude, is sure to further hamper the government's ability to import basic goods like food and medicine, exacerbating a humanitarian crisis that has prompted more than 3 million people to leave the country in recent years

'Sanctions on Venezuela will lead to the deterioration of conditions of people's lives,' Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a news briefing in Beijing

The Government Shutdown Ends & Fox News Can't Decide Whether Trump Won or Lost | The Daily Show - Duration: 6:19.

After 35 days of the longest shutdown in American history,

America's government is officially open for business.

The shutdown is over.

800,000 furloughed federal workers

will go back to work today

and should be getting their back pay within days.

TV REPORTER: That fix only opens the government for three weeks,

and it does not provide any new money

for a border wall as President Trump had demanded.

I am very proud to announce today

that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown

and reopen the federal government.

Okay, first of all, there's nothing to be proud of.

Second of all, there's not really a deal.

Like, have you ever noticed how all of Trump's accomplishments

are just fixing things that he broke?

He's like, "Folks, good news.

I've freed the immigrant kids from their cages."

"Wait, who put them in cages?"

"Also me.

"I'm glad to announce

North Korea isn't gonna blow us up anymore."

"Wait, why were they gonna blow us up?"

"'Cause I called him a fat little rocket man."

(laughter and applause)

And who can forget when he dropped

the White House bust of Abraham Lincoln,

but then he was also the one who taped it back together.

Yeah. And you can't even tell the difference.

He's like, "I'm proud to announce

"the refurbishment of this Lincoln statue.

"Sadly, it was not filled with candy

as I had hoped, folks."

So, the government shutdown is officially over.

Which is great,

because federal workers are getting paid again.

The FDA can inspect food again,

and the national parks can finally clean up their trash

and put it where it belongs: the ocean.

And although the shutdown ended,

that doesn't mean it hasn't left behind some lasting damage.

The nonpartisan Budget Office today estimated

the last partial shutdown cost the economy $11 billion,

three billion of which will never be recovered.

The government shutdown was particularly hard

on contract employees.

Those contractors aren't guaranteed back pay.

The IRS is gonna be struggling

to get returns out to some Americans on time.

It could take at least a year to get back to normal

after five million pieces of mail went unopened.

You know, life is so unfair.

The IRS just gets to be like,

"Oh, sorry. We couldn't do your taxes

because we didn't open our mail."

But if we tried that...

If we said, "Oh, we didn't file our taxes

because we didn't open our mail,"

now all of a sudden we're roommates with Wesley Snipes.

And don't get me wrong.

I love Blade, but not 24 hours a day.

So, now, thanks to the shutdown,

the IRS is behind, like, a year,

which is bad news for everyone except Trump.

He's probably gonna be like, "Oh, that's too bad.

I was just about to have them release my tax returns."

So, although it was only 35 days,

the government shutdown's effects

will continue to hurt America for a while.

And maybe it would have been all worth it for Trump

if he had gotten some of that sweet, sweet wall money,

but he folded with nothing to show for it.

And even some of his strongest supporters are admitting

that Trump got owned by Nancy Pelosi bigly.

Some right-wing media analysts have been merciless

in the criticism of President Trump.

"Broken man." "Biggest wimp."

"Trump just allowed Nancy to walk all over him."

It's clear Trump did not come out on top.

I'm not gonna spin it for you.

She has just whipped the president of the United States.

-And this... -No!

No, no. Stop. Stop, stop.

That's a victory for Nancy Pelosi.

It will be perceived as such

on every television monitor and screen in the country,

and to deny it is to try to escape from reality.

Damn. You know it's bad

when even Trump's personal cheerleaders are dunking on him.

You understand these are the people he watches every night

to make him feel good about himself,

and now they're trashing him.

It's like, imagine if you had a book

of inspirational quotes that you used every day,

and then one day you opened it,

and it was like, "Nigga, kill yourself!"

That's the pain he's feeling right now.

(laughter)

And you heard... you heard what Lou Dobbs said.

If you can't acknowledge

that Nancy Pelosi whupped Trump's ass,

then you are not in touch with reality.

And honestly, I don't know

why Lou Dobbs delivered this message on TV.

He could have just posted a sign in the Fox News breakroom.

Anyone out there, by the way,

thinking President Trump caved today,

you don't really know the Donald Trump I know.

He right now holds all the cards.

He will secure the border one way or another.

I don't see it as a cave. I see this as a process.

This is a halftime, uh, stop in the action.

So, did he cave? Did he not?

The answer is absolutely he did not cave.

He did not cave.

He made a tactical decision,

a strategy decision

to pick the ground to fight on.

"To pick the ground to fight on!

To pick the ground!"

Yo, this... I'm sorry, this is unbelievable.

No matter what Trump does, he's always a mastermind

who's accomplishing precisely what he wanted to do.

Like, if Trump was boxing and he got knocked out cold,

like, Jeanine Pirro would be like, "Brilliant.

"Another strategic consciousness pause

"by President Trump.

You can't get knocked down if you stay on the ground!"

(laughter and applause)

What a...

But, look, if you ignore the stans over at Fox News,

it's pretty clear this shutdown

was a political disaster for President Trump.

It hurt the economy,

it destroyed his approval ratings,

and, worst of all, he's not getting his wall.

And remember, Congress only has three weeks

to reach an agreement on border security

before the government runs out of money again.

But the good news is...

the good news is there probably won't be another shutdown.

Because after seeing how bad this shutdown went,

like, only a true moron

would think of shutting down the government again,

and no one... no one is that stupid, right?

We begin today with the president's

acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney.

Is the president really prepared

to shut down the government again in three weeks?

Um, yeah, I think he actually is.

My man.

According to reports during the G20 summit in November,

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin

spoke to each other for 15 minutes
