Trump Walks Into South Korea Military Base, Immediately Does What No POTUS Has Done Before - Duration: 4:08.
President Donald Trump is currently in the midst of a nearly two-week overseas trip through
Asia.
After spending two days with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Tokyo, he moved on
to South Korea on Monday, where he kicked off his visit at Camp Humphreys, the U.S.'s
largest overseas military base.
As soon as Trump walked into the base, he immediately did something which no other POTUS
before him had done, and our troops could not have been happier.
Trump's visit to South Korea kicked off with a bang on Monday as he was met by President
Moon Jae-in at Camp Humphreys.
As Mad World News previously reported, this was a distinct honor for Trump, as the South
Korean president broke with protocol to surprise his American counterpart at the U.S. military
base.
Camp Humphreys holds special significance to the alliance between the U.S. and South
Korea, as it is the largest of America's overseas military bases.
The enormous facility cost 10.7 billion dollars, 92 percent of which South Korea paid for.
At first glance, Humphreys looks like an ordinary American suburb.
With K-12 schools, chapels, a library, a big box store, dental and veterinary clinics and
a spacious plaza where kids can skateboard and eat ice cream, Humphreys could easily
be in Dallas or Denver.
It's the security gates, razor-wire topped walls and the M1 Abrams tanks that stand out.
U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys is, in fact, in Pyeongtaek, 40 miles south of Seoul, South
Korea.
[Source: The Diplomat] Trump's first stop in South Korea was Camp
Humphreys, where he made a gesture towards the U.S. troops which no other president had
before.
To the delight of the servicemen and women stationed there, Trump decided to forgo having
a fancy meal on his own in order to eat in the canteen with members of the military instead.
As President Trump and First Lady Melania continue their tour across Asia, their second
stop in South Korea includes a visit to Camp Humphreys, a military base about 40 miles
south of Seoul.
President Trump opted to dine with 108 hand-picked military servicemembers, which included 20
from South Korea, to show his appreciation for the troops right before the upcoming Veterans
Day holiday.
[Source: US Truth Wire] Upon learning that Trump would be dining with
the troops, the manager of the military dining facility was understandably taken aback.
He never expected the president to do such a thing.
After all, no president before him ever had.
The manager remarked that he was nervous the food would not be good enough for Trump, as
no special accommodations had been made, and he offered the president something other than
what the troops were served.
However, Trump said he wanted to eat what the service members were eating, proving that
even though he is worth billions of dollars, he is as down to earth as you or me.
One military member, Pvt.
Merion Holmes, 21, of Georgetown, South Carolina, said that what President Trump told the troops
made their jaws drop to the floor.
"He said he'd rather eat with the troops than at a fancy restaurant.
It made me feel like he cared," said Holmes.
Indeed, these military heroes are away from their homes and their families for months
on end.
Thus, it undoubtedly served as a much-appreciated gesture for their Commander-in-Chief to personally
dine with them.
This is precisely why President Donald Trump is so respected by our military.
When given the choice between eating a luxury meal at a high-end restaurant or eating a
regular old lunch with U.S. troops at a canteen on base, he didn't think twice before choosing
the latter.

North Korea crisis: Trump vows to use 'full range of capabilities' on Kim as WW3 looms
Speaking at a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, the US President launched a blistering attack on Kim Jong-un, branding him a "" which needs "worldwide action".
Mr Trump said: "We are partners and friends who have fought side by side in a war and worked hard towards great lasting peace. "We will not allow North Korea to threaten all that we have built, and all that we have built together." Raising fears of the outbreak of all-out war, he said North Korea was "a threat to people of South Korea and people all across the world". .
He said: "We will together confront North Korea. "We will be prepared to use the full range of our unmatched military capabilities if needs be.
" also used the opportunity to reach out and put pressure on Russia and China to act as a matter of "urgency".
He said: We are calling on all responsible nations, including Russia and China, to demand an end to the North Korea nuclear threat for peace. It is time to act with urgency and great determination. .
The US president demanded countries across the world cease trade and business with North Korea so they are not funding this increasingly dangerous regime".
Mr Trump, who sent a direct warning to Kim telling him he is prepared to "defend ourselves and our allies", is embarking on a 13-day mega tour of Asia to meet political leaders. The news comes as significant activity was recorded in the West Portal of since the launch of the brutal regime's sixth nuclear test in September.

Trump concludes positive state visit to S. Korea at Seoul National Cemetery - Duration: 2:15.
Before taking off, the American leader stopped by the Seoul National Cemetery, the resting
place for many of the fallen soldiers from the Korean War.
Silencing the initial concerns and voices of opposition, Trump seems to have left a
lasting impression and helped improve relations with the Moon Jae-in administration.
Kwon Jang-ho has the full story.
Before leaving for Beijing on Tuesday, President Donald Trump visited the Seoul National Cemetery
to honor those who died in the Korean War.
The U.S. leader and First Lady laid a wreath at the memorial tower before carrying out
a traditional incense burning ritual.
The couple also signed the guestbook, leaving a message saying, "We honor the fallen heroes
that lie here - your sacrifice will always be remembered."
President Trump was only in South Korea for just over 24 hours, but it had been a packed
schedule, including a meeting with President Moon Jae-in, a welcoming ceremony, a state
banquet and a visit to the U.S. military base Camp Humphreys.
He even tried to fit in a visit to the demilitarized zone on Wednesday, but that was cancelled
mid-air when weather conditions forced his helicopter to turn around.
It had been a surprising last minute decision to go, as White House officials last week
had categorically denied that he would be going due to scheduling difficulties.
But Seoul's Blue House officials said that on Tuesday President Moon had convinced him
to change his mind.
Trump was said to be have been 'pretty frustrated... as it was something he had wanted to do',
according to the White House Press Secretary.
Another photo opportunity at the DMZ would have sent a further message of improved relations
with President Moon and South Korea.
But even without it, the mood has been very positive, right from the beginning when President
Moon gave a surprise welcome for Trump at his first stop at Camp Humphreys and the two
shared lunch with the South Korean and U.S. soldiers.
Trump thanked President Moon for his hospitality on several occasions and even took to Twitter
to express his gratitude.
Before Tuesday, there were some concerns about how well the two leaders got along, but this
trip seems to have gone a long way to address that.
Eyes will now to turn to Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and whether
that will also have as positive an outcome.

Robert De Niro Just Busted In Disgusting Act After Calling Trump A 'Low Life' - Duration: 5:16.
It was not that long ago that WikiLeaks dropped the Podesta emails which depicted pedophilia
in our very own government.
Of course, the mainstream media has done its best to sweep this disgusting crime under
the rug.
However, there are those out there who are determined to root out these perverts hiding
in our government and the entertainment industry.
Over the last few weeks, new explosive allegations have emerged that point to a circle of high-powered
executives and actors engaged in pedophilia and sexual assault.
Harvey Weinstein, an influential film producer, and Kevin Spacey, an Oscar-winning actor,
have both been fingered as perpetrators in this sick circle.
Now, Robert De Niro another member of Hollywood royalty was just discovered using the services
of an international prostitution ring, but this sex ring has an even darker underbelly
that will shock everyone.
During the presidential election, the liberal media and Hollywood elites continually based
Donald Trump as a "low-life" sexual predator.
The allegations stemmed from leaked audio tapes from 2005, of Trump in a locker room
speaking crassly to washed-up actor Billy Bush.
Of course, the conversation was taken out of context, but that did not stop Robert De
Niro from using that audio to blast President Trump as a sexual predator.
Now, De Niro has been caught in a scandal that will not quickly be swept under the rug
since the acclaimed actor was caught employing the services of a prostitution ring known
to hire underaged children for wealthy, high-powered clients.
According to court documents, John Lichfield, a journalist who works for London's Independent
revealed that the prostitution agency routinely entrapped underage girls as young as 15-years-old,
and forced them to have sex with Hollywood's rich and powerful.
The court documents read like a trashy sex novel, filled with movie stars, high-ranking
foreign dignitaries, arms deals, and politicians from the United States.
Of course, the mainstream media did all that they could to hide this explosive story and
protect Robert De Niro from the damaging discovery.
After discovering the court documents, John Lichfield wrote, "Six people are charged
with the running of an international prostitution ring, whose call-girls entertained the actor
Robert De Niro, the former tennis player, Wojtek Fibak, two senior (but unnamed) French
politicians and several Gulf princes.
The agency specialised in tricking, or trapping, star-struck teenage girls into selling their
bodies with the promise of careers as models or actresses."
This horrific discovery of sexual perversion was terrible enough, but the connection between
De Niro and sexual predator Harvey Weinstein is even worse.
According to sources, the two men were good friends and were often photographed together,
and Weinstein frequented De Niro's exclusive Manhattan restaurant, Tribeca Grill.
The swanky eatery was known as a "luxe magnet for celebrity seekers," and Weinstein was
often found there luring his victims with promises of fame and fortune before sexually
assaulting them.
Here is more from USNP:
A former employee of De Niro's at Tribeca Grill opened up to the New York Post about
what it was like working in Robert De Niro's world.
The waitress revealed that while De Niro fawned over Harvey Weinstein, catering to his every
whim, the Hollywood producer would treat her and her colleagues like human garbage.
"Harvey Weinstein was every bit the sleazy Hollywood caricature recent reports have made
him out to be.
When I was working as a waitress, I watched numerous times as a string of young women
— some seemingly no older than 21 — entered the restaurant for long, flirty dinners with
him, even though he was married with five children.
"These women were all the same: vaguely European, always beautiful, stylishly dressed,
and totally out of place next to someone like him.
"The ritual for his rendezvous was very firm.
Champagne, caviar, and an unspoken rule that Weinstein and his date not be disturbed.
The pair would sit close, whispering and touching each other suggestively.
After dining, Weinstein and the woman would often disappear for a while, exiting the restaurant
through a side door."
When President Trump said that he was going to drain the swamp, it did not just apply
to crooked politicians, in the government.
Trump is intent on busting human trafficking rings and the people who prey on innocent
children for their nasty sexual pleasure.
Earlier this year, President Trump announced a federal investigation into the elite pedophile
scandal that has gripped our nation.
After learning of yet another dominant Hollywood individual being embroiled in a sex scandal,
it makes sense why these actors, producers, and politicians are scared of President Donald
Trump.

Donald Trump - Diễn văn tại căn cứ Yokota 4/11/2017 - Duration: 18:49.
Male Speaker: Okay everybody.
Mr. President, so I will tell you that you look great in that suit, but there's something
missing.
Could I please ask the Wing Commander of the biggest, baddest, meanest C-130 wing in the
Air Force, Colonel Bull Moss to come out here.
(Applause) The President: Should I put it on?
(Applause) (Applause) The President: I like this better.
(Applause) You can have my jacket.
Right?
Thank you.
Thank you, honey.
Thank you.
Oh, boy, that's something.
This is a great group of people.
Thank you very much, and General Martinez, everybody, for your devoted leadership of
our brave troops right here in Japan, and especially thank you -- especially, especially
-- to all of the incredible service members.
We're really here today, we're going to have a good time, and we're going to celebrate
your achievements.
So, I'll issue one of your favorite commands.
Are you ready?
At ease!
At ease!
Just sit back.
Now have a good time.
(Laughter) Just have a good time.
Melania and I also want to extend a special thanks to Ambassador Bill Hagerty, who's doing
an outstanding job.
He's an outstanding person.
I know him very well.
Believe me, you got one of the great ones.
He's leading our American embassy in Tokyo.
I'm honored to be here today in this beautiful country, home of the extraordinary people
of Japan.
Japan is a treasured partner and crucial ally of the United States.
And today we thank them for welcoming us and for decades of wonderful friendship between
our two nations.
Americans have deep respect and admiration for the people of Japan -- their amazing culture,
their strong spirit, and their very proud history.
So, on behalf of the United States of America, I send the warmest wishes of the American
people to the citizens of this remarkable country.
(Applause) Now I know how you guys feel.
This is pretty good.
(Laughter) Our travels across Asia will take us to many historic places to see many wonderful
sights, and to speak before many audiences.
But there is no single place I'd rather begin my trip than right here, with all of you -- the
incredible men and women of the United States military -- and your amazing partners, the
Japanese Self-Defense Forces.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you.
(Applause) To everyone here today who serves your country in uniform: Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We salute you -- (laughter) -- what's your rank?
(Laughter) We're going to raise it.
(Applause) We salute you, we honor you, and we stand proudly with the men and women who
defend us and our way of life.
Nations are built from the courage, love, and sacrifice of patriots just like you.
Each of you inherits the proud legacy of generations of warriors that have walked these very grounds
for more than seven decades.
From Yokota's runways, American pilots took to the air and drove back the invaders during
the Korean War.
Tremendous courage.
Tremendous bravery.
From here, they enforced a precious peace during a long and bitter Cold War.
And in the aftermath of the devastating 2011 tsunami, this base served as the launching
point for Operation Tomodachi -- the largest humanitarian relief effort in American history,
which saved the lives of thousands and thousands of great Japanese citizens.
Like those who came before you, you always rise to the occasion, and you never, ever
let your country down.
General Martinez, General Chiarotti, General Pasquarette, Rear Admiral Fenton, Brigadier
General Winkler, Colonel Moss, and Chief Master Sergeant Greene: You lead the forces under
your command with exceptional skill and devotion, and America is tremendously grateful to you.
(Applause) We're also fortunate to stand alongside such strong and capable allies.
General Maehera, General Asai, General Imaki, and General Ando: Thank you for your leadership
and service.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
(Applause) On behalf of the American people, I want each and every one of you, both American
and Japanese, to know that your service and commitment helps keep us all safe, strong,
and free.
I also want to express our gratitude to the family members and loved ones who sacrifice
so much to make your service possible.
They are absolutely incredible people, and it's not easy.
America is profoundly grateful for all you do.
And we are, back home, starting to do -- I will tell you, and you're reading and you're
seeing -- really, really well.
The stock market is at an all-time high.
(Applause) Unemployment, back in the United States, is at a 17-year low.
(Applause) Almost 2 million jobs have been added since a very, very special day; it's
called Election Day, November 8th.
Two million jobs.
(Applause) It's a lot of jobs.
And we've dealt ISIS one brutal defeat after another.
And it's about time.
(Applause) It's truly inspiring to see American airmen and Marines and -- (applause) -- you
know, I have a great Marine here: General Kelly, four-star.
Did anyone ever hear of General Kelly?
Where's General Kelly?
(Applause) He is something.
Now he's Chief of Staff.
But he does like those four stars, I want to tell you that.
(Laughter) But American airmen and the Marines and Japanese Self-Defense Forces that are
standing here with us today, side-by-side, confident, committed, and more capable than
ever.
You instill confidence in the hearts of our allies, and you strike fear in the hearts
of our enemies.
It's the way it should be, isn't it?
(Applause) Our alliance is a testament to the transformative power of freedom.
Today, nations that once waged war now stand together as friends and partners in pursuit
of a much better world.
And we're getting there.
We're getting there faster than you think.
With your presence here today, shoulder-to-shoulder, you put hope into every soul that yearns for
peace.
All of you have made Yokota one of the most capable operational bases in Japan and, actually,
anywhere in the world.
For over a decade, this incredible place has been home not only to American servicemembers,
but also to the Air Defense Command of the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force.
Today, this base serves as a critical center for coordination for American and Japanese
commanders to plan their missions.
For almost 60 years, the military alliance we see on this base has endured -- a cornerstone
of sovereignty, security, and prosperity for our nations, this region, and indeed the entire
world.
Today, we pay tribute to that legacy -- a legacy you protect and grow each and every
day.
We dominate the sky, we dominate the sea, we dominate the land and space -- (applause)
-- not merely because we have the best equipment, which we do -- and, by the way, a lot of it's
coming in; you saw that budget.
That's a lot different than in the past.
A lot of beautiful, brand new equipment is coming in.
And nobody makes it like they make it in the United States.
Nobody.
(Applause) Got a lot of stuff coming.
Use it well.
But because we have -- more important than equipment, we have the best people.
Each of you embodies the warrior creed.
Your devotion, prowess, and expertise make you the most fearsome fighting force in the
history of our world.
Together with our allies, America's warriors are prepared to defend our nation using the
full range of our unmatched capabilities.
No one -- no dictator, no regime, and no nation -- should underestimate, ever, American resolve.
Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us.
It was not pleasant for them, was it?
(Applause) It was not pleasant.
We will never yield, never waver, and never falter in defense of our people, our freedom,
and our great American flag.
(Applause) That flag stands for the values of our Republic, the history of our people,
the sacrifice of our heroes, and our loyalty to the nation we love.
As long as I am President, the servicemen and women who defend our nation will have
the equipment, the resources, and the funding they need to secure our homeland, to respond
to our enemies quickly and decisively, and, when necessary, to fight, to overpower, and
to always, always, always win.
Right?
(Applause) This is the heritage of the American Armed Forces -- the greatest force for peace
and justice the world has ever known.
Free nations must be strong nations, and we welcome it when our allies -- from Europe
to Asia -- renew their commitment to peace through strength.
We seek peace and stability for the nations of the world, including those right here in
this region.
And it's a great region.
As Americans celebrate Veterans Day this month, we honor all who have sacrificed to make peace
and stability possible.
We pay tribute to every proud American who has worn the uniform and served our country.
Today, many nations of the Indo-Pacific are thriving because of the sacrifices made by
American servicemembers and our allies, and because of the sacrifices all of you continue
to make each and every day.
Here in Japan, we have seen the amazing things that are possible when a people are free and
independent.
Over the course of a single lifetime, the Japanese people have built one of the most
successful societies and nations in the world.
Over the next 10 days, we travel to South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
We will seek new opportunities for cooperation and commerce, and we will partner with friends
and allies to pursue a free and open Indo-Pacific Region.
We will seek free, fair, and reciprocal trade.
But this future is only within our grasp because of you.
You make it possible for peace-loving nations to thrive and for peace-loving people to prosper.
You are the reason the great American flag will proudly stand behind me wherever I go.
And every time I look at that flag, I will think of brave men and women like you, and
I will think of all the American patriots, down through the generations, who poured out
their blood, sweat, tears, hopes, and dreams to defend our country.
When you follow your citizens and people across the Indo-Pacific region -- see the flags of
free and sovereign states, like the United States and Japan, displayed during our diplomatic
meetings over the next 10 days, be proud of your nation, be proud of your service, and
be proud of the security you provide that makes it all possible.
Like your predecessors, you -- our brave warriors -- are the last bulwark against threats to
the dreams of people in America and Japan, and all across the world.
You are the greatest hope for people who desire to live in freedom and harmony, and you are
the greatest threat to tyrants and dictators who seek to prey on the innocent.
History has proven over and over that the road of the tyrant is a steady march toward
poverty, suffering, and servitude.
But the path of strong nations and free people, certain of their values and confident in their
futures, is a proven path toward prosperity and peace.
We cherish our cultures, we embrace our values, and we always fight for what we believe in.
Because of you, the people of America, the people of Japan, and the freedom-loving people
everywhere are able to fulfill their destinies and follow their dreams.
And we are grateful for your families, for their sacrifice and support that allows our
brave men and women to serve.
We also appreciate the sacrifice of dedicated civilians who keep this base going and take
care of our military and their precious loved ones.
We are eternally grateful for your service and for your sacrifice.
And we are forever in your debt.
I am so proud to be here with you today.
We face many challenges and many opportunities, and we will face all of them together as a
team.
And if we do, I am certain that the future for America, for Japan, and for our cherished
allies has never, ever looked brighter.
Because of patriots like you, freedom will prevail.
Thank you.
God bless you.
God bless the Armed Forces.
And God bless the United States of America.
Thank you.
Thank you all.
(Applause) Thank you.

President Moon reaffirms S. Korea-U.S. alliance during state dinner for Trump - Duration: 2:38.
During the grand state dinner for President Trump,... the two leaders reaffirmed their
countries' ironclad alliance.
The other attendees -- a mix of Korean and American VIPs from the business world -- saw
the banquet as a golden opportunity to resolve issues surrounding the trade-related differences
between the two countries.
Kim Ji-yeon reports.
At the grand state dinner held at the Blue House late Tuesday,...
President Moon Jae-in reaffirmed the strength of the South Korea-U.S. alliance.
He stressed that the two sides will stand firm against North Korea's provocations and
work to bring Pyongyang back to talks on its denuclearization.
President Moon said the alliance will ensure peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia,...
adding that the history of war on the peninsula should never be repeated.
(Korean) "The peace that was fought for with blood
from Korea and America is again being threatened, but the strength of the South Korea-U.S. alliance
is preventing that threat growing."
( , .)
President Trump responded by saying that the alliance, which has grown stronger by withstanding
hardships together, is built on a foundation of great friendship.
(English) "We have been proud to stand by your side
for many decades as an unwavering friend and loyal ally.
And you have never had a time where this ally has been more loyal or stood by your side
more than right now."
The state dinner was also a who's-who of Korea's business elite.
Among those enjoying the evening were SK Group Chair, Chey Tae-won , Hanwha Group Chair Kim
Seung-youn , Hanjin Group patriarch Cho Yang-ho , Vice chair of LG Group, Koo Bon-joon and
Samsung Electronics chief executive Yoon Boo-keun .
They made up some 120 economic and cultural figures that attended Tuesday's dinner at
the traditional hanok reception hall within the Blue House.
From the U.S. side, the VIPs included James Kim, Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce
in Korea and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, who sat at the same table as Chung
Eui-sun , Vice Chair of Korea's largest automaker Hyundai Motor Group.
The seating arrangement served as an opportunity to exchange views and pave the way for the
two sides to resolve contentious issues related to the amendment of the South Korea-U.S. free
trade agreement,... as well as tougher U.S. regulations, including anti-dumping measures
imposed on Korean automobile and steel exports.

President Trump To Unleash Executive Order On Congress — Paul Ryan Is Scrambling - Duration: 3:20.
Obamacare is falling apart as we watch.
So poorly written and ill-conceived was the legislation that it began to deteriorate even
before the president for which it was named left office.
No wonder then House Speaker Pelosi insisted on passing this fiasco-in-waiting with all
dispatch.
What is somewhat amusing is that this is a Democrats' mess that even the Democrats
could not fix.
Unfortunately, Republican leadership in Congress has not done much better.
At least they have not made matters worse, but they clearly failed to "repeal and replace"
the legislation when given the chance.
This is especially inexcusable in that they had the time to have suitable legislation
ready to go.
It's not like the initiative to give Obamacare the deep-six should have come as a surprise.
President Trump is not the Congress, but he does have considerable leeway when it comes
to signing executive orders to accomplish at least part of what Republican leaders in
Congress have failed to do, that being the dismantling of Obamacare.
He now is reported to have an executive order ready to go to end the hated "individual
mandate."
We shall see if Republican leaders such as Speaker Paul Ryan can get this job done via
the tax bill.
If he fails, President Trump will be ready.
"The Trump administration has prepared an executive order that would unravel Obamacare's
individual mandate, but has put it on hold to see whether repealing the penalties for
going uninsured might be included in the Republican tax bill instead, a GOP senator told the Washington
Examiner.
President Trump decided to delay the executive order after Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., pushed
for the inclusion of the individual mandate repeal in the tax bill, and has been supportive
of its inclusion in statements he has made on Twitter.
"After initially declining to comment on the senator's statements, a White House
official pushed back on the claims, saying the administration's position is that Congress
should resolve the issue.
"'Pursuant to the President's January EO on Obamacare, we are always looking for
ways to provide relief from Obamacare,' the White House official said.
'The long-standing issues with the mandate would be best resolved legislatively.'"
This is obviously Congress' job.
Republicans were elected on a platform that included the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.
That Republican leadership has failed to get this done is a testimony to either their incompetence
or their disloyalty to those who elected them.
In either case, failure is unacceptable, and if that happens, they are without excuse.
In other words, if Ryan and McConnell cannot get this provision eliminating the Obamacare
individual mandate into a tax bill that passes both houses of Congress, they should both
resign and let others take over.
It is disgraceful for President Trump to have to carry the water for the so-called Republican
Congressional leadership.
There are these things called Republican primaries.
If Republicans in Congress turn out to be the RINOs of which they are suspected, Republican
voters need to solve the problem at their next opportunity.

Sean Spicer After Trump's year 1, GOP poised to dominate again in 2018 - Duration: 8:01.
Sean Spicer: After Trump's year 1, GOP poised to dominate again in 2018.
A year ago this week, Republicans � led by Donald Trump and Mike Pence � dominated
the 2016 election, up and down the ballot.
Despite public polling and the predictions of media pundits, the Republican investment
in crucial data and field operations gave the GOP the edge in 2016, and it's on pace
to do the same during the 2020 election.
Candidates, and the message they take to voters, are at the core of any campaign.
However, the most precious assets of any campaign are the candidate�s time and money.
An effective data and ground operation maximizes both of those.
It was Donald Trump and his message that won the 2016 election � but it was the Republican
National Committee�s data and ground game that ensured his time and money were maximized.
The George W. Bush campaign took data and field efforts to a new level in 2004 with
the advent of the 72-Hour Task Force and voter micro-targeting.
The task force was an effort to get out the vote through volunteer work in the remaining
72 hours of the election.
Micro-targeting, meanwhile, used data on voter preferences and behavior to identify patterns
and shape campaign outreach strategy.
The Barack Obama campaign took these advances a step further in 2008 by organizing and using
data on a much more individual level, targeting key voting blocs to boost turnout.
By 2012, the RNC had recognized that those efforts served a single campaign well but
would not necessarily help an entire party.
Instead, the RNC invested more than $100 million in data and field operations to build an enduring
capability that would bolster candidates up and down the ballot.
That crucial investment was not easy to make at the time.
The RNC found itself more than $20 million in debt in 2011, with no field staff and an
atrophying data and digital operation.
This is no longer the case: the RNC has broken fundraising records for a non-presidential
year � with no debt � and now invests 30 percent of its budget into its data program.
Interestingly enough, it is now the Democratic National Committee that finds itself in a
precarious situation.
After eight years of neglect by party leaders, the DNC is effectively bankrupt and unable
to fund the ground or data operations it needs to compete.
Republicans control a record 67 of the 98 partisan state legislative chambers in the
nation (68 percent), more than twice the number (31) in which Democrats have a majority.
There are currently 34 Republican governors, 15 Democrats, and one Independent.
The 2016 elections saw Republicans reclaim the White House for the first time in eight
years, grow their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and maintain their majority
in the Senate.
The RNC has out-raised the DNC by more than $50 million this year, largely fueled by small-dollar
donors.
It has more than $44 million on hand, while the DNC has $7.1 million and debt of almost
$4 million.
Simply put, the DNC is not raising the money it needs to make key investments and win elections.
The 2016 election was decided by 107,000 votes scattered across three states.
States like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Michigan voted Republican for the first
time in decades.
In the closing days of the Trump campaign, the data program ensured time and money were
spent effectively by placing candidates and political ads in the right areas.
It was the data that showed Trump�s message resonating in states that had eluded previous
GOP candidates.
It was the data that ensured the right mail piece, the right ad at the right time, were
delivered.
It was the thousands of staff on the ground that contacted voters who had a history of
voting early to get them out early, who likewise ensured voters who got an absentee ballot
actually sent it in, and that same group also followed up on Election Day with those voters
who had a history of in-person voting on Election Day.
It was the combination of both the data and ground game that targeted the right streets
in the right neighborhoods in the right counties in these states.
Voters living in the same household could likely be served up different ads at different
times, depending on whether they had a tendency to vote early or on Election Day, and depending
on what issues and messages persuaded them.
What had been a scatter-shot approach to a group of potential voters in the past had
become a surgically targeted operation.
The past election cycle saw the RNC move beyond micro-targeting to a system in which every
voter was assigned a score and customized profile, allowing our party and candidates
to target voters with accuracy never before seen.
Knowing where to best spend the candidates� time and money clearly made a crucial difference
in the final days.
As Hillary Clinton said at the Code Conference last May: �I set up my campaign and we have
our own data operation.
I get the nomination.
So I�m now the nominee of the Democratic Party.
I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party.
I mean, it was bankrupt, it was on the verge of insolvency, its data was mediocre to poor,
nonexistent, wrong.
I had to inject money into it � the DNC � to keep it going.�
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), facing a tough re-election fight in Florida, told party leaders
that �Democrats desperately needed to catch up on field staff in Florida, especially in
the wake of the presidential and Senate race results last year that saw Republican-leaning
voters flood the polls and took even plugged-in Democrats by surprise.�
A year-round investment in data and field activities allows a party to create a comprehensive
understanding of each individual: Do they vote early or on Election Day?
Which issues do they care about, and which of those motivate them to vote?
Who are their key influencers?
This information then guides key campaign decisions, ranging from the places that candidates
spend their time to the content of key digital and broadcast advertisements.
Candidates for federal office can raise up to $2,700 per person, while party committees
can take in $339,000 per person in a year.
The enormous cost of data and field operations simply makes it cost-prohibitive for any single
candidate to perform that function.
Only the RNC and DNC can raise that money and legally coordinate with their candidates.
The 2016 election not only proved that mechanics matter, but also that the GOP is the only
party making the proper investment in resources that will be critical for victory in 2020.

North Korea warns Trump his 'mad remarks' will BACKFIRE with nuclear war
said America's bravado would ultimately lead to its downfall, as arrives in South Korea to discuss 's nuclear threat. A fiery statement issued in a state-run news agency KCNA, which effectively acts as an official mouthpiece for Kims regime, warned the US threatening North Korea was a "big mistake". It urged Washington to back off or face the wrath of the hermit state, which has recently threatened to carry out its biggest ever nuclear test. KCNA said: "The US, a thrice-cursed nuclear criminal which was the first to have access to nukes in the world and inflict nuclear disaster upon humankind, now clamours about 'nuclear threat'.
"This is the height of shamelessness.".
KCNA said Mr Trump's repeated threats to North Korea were actually an attempt to distract the world from Washington's crimes. The report continued: "The present grave situation once again clearly shows that Trumps mad remarks of 'total destruction' and 'annihilation' of the DPRK have resulted in military gambling.
"It is just the US which poses threat to the DPRKs existence and development and brings disastrous nuclear war to the Korean peninsula." READ MORE:.
And the propaganda machine concluded the piece with a direct threat to Mr Trump and the US, urging them to cease their campaign against North Korea. The article said: "If the US imperialists try to alarm the DPRK with nuclear threat and blackmail, it will be a big mistake.
"They are persistently clinging to the anachronistic anti-DPRK policy and confrontation racket, oblivious of the reality in which fundamental changes have been made in the DPRKs strategic position and mechanical relations between the DPRK and US. READ MORE: .
"This is little different from sickening conducts of dolts without any foresight. "The more the U.S.
engrossed in its daydream persists in the reckless military threat and moves to strangle the DPRK, the bitterer defeat it will suffer." The threat comes as Mr Trump carries out a pan-Asian visit, including a trip to South Korea. .
He arrived in Seoul today and sent a mesage to Pyongyang, urging them to come to the negotiating table. Mr Trump said: We cannot allow North Korea to threaten all that we have built.
"It really makes sense for North Korea to come to the table and make a deal." He said while we hope to God America will not be forced to use its military might to deal with the problem, it was not impossible it could come to that. .

U.S. President Donald Trump addresses South Korea's National Assembly - Duration: 3:22.
Trump became the first American leader to address the nation's parliament in nearly
a quarter-century.
His speech mainly centered on North Korea,... warning the regime of the dangerous path it's
on, and calling on countries including China and Russia to fully implement UNSC resolutions.
Kim Min-ji has the highlights of his message.
Trump's address to the National Assembly, the first by a sitting U.S. president in 24
years,... was relatively reserved with no surprises.
But he did send a stern message to North Korea during his speech,... which lasted over half
an hour.
Trump said the weapons that Pyongyang possesses,... are not making the regime safer,... but putting
it in grave danger.
(English) "Every step you take down this dark path increases
the peril you face.
North Korea is not the paradise your grandfather envisioned.
It is a hell that no person deserves."
In fact, the North Korea nuclear issue has topped Trump's Asia tour,... following a series
of missile launches,... as well as the North's most powerful nuclear test back in September.
He said that the world cannot tolerate the menace of the rogue regime and its threats
of nuclear devastation,... calling on the international community, including China and
Russia, to fully implement UN Security Council resolutions,... downgrade diplomatic relations
with the regime and sever all ties involving trade and technology.
(English) "All responsible nations must join forces
to isolate the brutal regime of North Korea, to deny it and any form, any form of it, you
cannot support, you cannot supply, you cannot accept.
It is our responsibility and our duty to confront this danger together, because the longer we
wait, the greater the danger grows and the fewer the options become."
For America's part,... Trump said the U.S. will not be intimidated by the North,... and
neither will he permit his country or his allies to be threatened or attacked.
The U.S. leader warned Pyongyang that while America does not seek conflict or confrontation,...
it will NOT run from it.
(English) "This is a very different administration than
the United States has had in the past.
Today I hope I speak not only for our countries, but for all civilized nations when I say to
the North,...
Do not underestimate us.
And do not try us."
However, Trump did say that the U.S. will offer Pyongyang a better path... should it
cease its threats and dismantle its nuclear program,... despite the crimes it has committed.
(Standup) "There had been concerns that he would step
up his rhetoric... as he has done previously,... especially this being the only parliamentary
address during his five nation Asia tour.
It was instead was more or less in line with the comments he made Tuesday during summit
talks with President Moon Jae-in,... in which he called on North Korea to come to the table
and make a deal.
Kim Min-ji, Arirang News."

North Korea will struggle to survive! Donald Trump pressure crippling Kim Jong-un regime - Duration: 3:43.
North Korea will struggle to survive! Donald Trump pressure crippling Kim Jong-un regime
will have been damaged by the UN sanction, despite repeated missile tests since they were implemented, Charles Hay claimed.
Mr Hay, the UK's ambassador to the Republic of Korea, said that was impacted by the sanctions which were placed on the rogue nation.
Speaking to the programme, the ambassador said: "As I say, the diplomatic option is the one that we are following and I think you should make no mistake about the effect it is having on his regime.
"We know from our embassy in Pyongyang that the sanctions are having a huge impact on his economy, sales of seafood for example, which is essential to the North Korean economy has essentially stopped.
"It will be exceptionally difficult for North Korea's economy to survive at this rate. "In that sense, the sands are running out for Kim Jong-un.
Of course, they will have reserves of oil and of other resources but the impact is definitely real. "The resolve of the international community and the permanent members of the UN is also very real". In August the United Nations Security Council voted to impose fresh sanctions on the hermit kingdom after a number of missile tests.
The measure's aimed to cut North Korea's export revenue of £230 billion by a third, by approving a ban on North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood. Despite the sanctions imposed on North Korea, Kim Jong-un has ramped up his threats to the US and the world with tests of nuclear weapons with its most recent test being its most powerful.
The test took place on September 3 at the Punggye-ri Test Site which registered as a 5.7 magnitude earthquake by the South Korean government. It was reported that a tunnel collapse in North Korea left 200 workers dead at the Punggye-ri testing facility at some point after the sixth test in September.
Kim Jong-un has threatened "merciless punishment" as landed on the continent for his tour of Asia. Speaking in Tokyo, the US President said: "We are working to counter the dangerous aggressions of the regime in North Korea.
"The regime continues development of its unlawful weapons programs, including its illegal nuclear tests and outrageous launches of ballistic missiles directly over Japanese territory, are a threat to the civilised world and international peace and stability.
"We will not stand for that: the era of strategic patience is over.".
