Trump news on Youtube Sep 3 2018

President Donald Trump just surprised everyone by indicating that he supports a bill that

would end the ban on marijuana in this country.

Politico reported that on Friday, Trump said that he would "probably will end up supporting"

bipartisan legislation to bar the federal government from interfering with marijuana

legalization laws at the state level.

Unveiled by Sens. Cory Gardner of (R-Colo.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), this bill

in effect give states the right to determine their own approach to regulating the drug.

When asked about the bill, Trump said supports it now and will "probably" support it

going forward.

"I really do.

I support Senator Gardner," Trump said of the lawmaker's bill.

"I know exactly what he's doing, we are looking at it.

But I probably will end up supporting that, yes."

This surprised everyone since it contradicts Trump's own Justice Department, which under

the direction of Attorney General Jeff Sessions has moved aggressively to crack down on the

proliferation of laws to decriminalize and legalize cannabis.

Back in January, Sessions rescinded an Obama-era policy that had effectively limited the prosecutions

of businesses and individuals who sold pot in a legal manner under state law.

This initiative of Barack Obama's had paved the way for more legislation expanding legal

access and use of pot at the state level.

Gardner and Warren's measure, which seeks to bar the federal government from meddling

in states' efforts to self-regulate on pot, would likely challenge the DOJ action on federal

pot prosecutions.

Gardner said that trying to roll back pot laws would be like "putting ketchup back

in the bottle" and also noted that current finance laws have made it difficult for legal

marijuana businesses to operate.

"This city of Denver, the state of Colorado, can collect taxes … they can take it to

the bank," Gardner said.

"But if you are in the business, if you work for the business, you can not get a bank

loan or set up a bank account because of the concern over the conflict between the state

and federal law.

We need to fix this public hypocrisy."

TRUMP JUST ENDED IT FOR ROBERT MUELLER WITH SUDDEN ANNOUNCEMENT - Duration: 11:44.

TRUMP JUST ENDED IT FOR ROBERT MUELLER WITH SUDDEN ANNOUNCEMENT

Robert Mueller has been screaming Russia like a small child that sees their favorite cartoon

come on television and their parents whiz past it while channel surfing.

It's getting to the point that he needs to have several evaluations, one of them mental.

It's scary to see someone try and go down this many dead ends yet keep going.

He is getting more and more desperate.

The witch hunt against President Trump kicked into high gear this week when Special Counsel

Mueller ordered a raid of the office and personal residence of Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen.

The raid was spurred on by a $130,000 payment Trump's lawyer made to Stormy Daniels, an

adult film star Trump allegedly had a one-night stand with over a decade ago.

What this payment has to do with Russia, no one knows.

But that didn't stop the FBI from ransacking Cohen's records, desperately searching for

any scrap of evidence that could help them get rid of the President that has exposed

them for being the incompetent agency they are.

For President Trump, this raid was the straw that broke his back, and he is now considering

taking action against Mueller that would stop the witch hunt dead in its tracks.

From New York Post: President Trump believes he can fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller

because the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election has "gone too far"

with the raids on his personal attorney, the White House said Tuesday.

"He certainly believes he has the power to do so," Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee

Sanders said during an afternoon press briefing.

Some have expressed worry over this move, and believe that firing Mueller will make

Trump look guilty.

In reality, it's the staggering double standard that the FBI has shown that makes them look

guilty.

The pundits say that not even the President is above the law, and so cannot fire Mueller.

But when the law does not itself follow the law, breaking it over and over again, they

leave Trump with no choice.

It's hard to ignore the glaring inconsistencies in how the FBI investigated Clinton versus

how they're currently investigating Trump.

For example, it was during Clinton's time as Secretary of State in 2013 that she colluded

with Russia.

Bill Clinton received $500,000 to speak in Russia and met with Vladimir Putin right around

the time a deal was cut with Russian company Rosatom to give them access to a U.S. uranium

mine.

Additionally, the special counsel's office is now investigating a $150,000 donation that

a Ukrainian businessman gave to President Trump's charity in 2015.

But the same donor, steel magnate Victor Pinchuk, has given $13 million to the Clinton Foundation

since 2006, and had close ties with then Secretary

of State

Hillary Clinton.

Trump Exposes Massive Obama Coverup – 'This Is Totally Illegal' - Duration: 10:46.

Trump Exposes Massive Obama Coverup – 'This Is Totally Illegal'

Donald Trump just went off on Barack Obama after the latest revelation about what the

former administration did for Iran.

"The Obama Administration is now accused of trying to give Iran secret access to the

financial system of the United States.

This is totally illegal.

Perhaps we could get the 13 Angry Democrats to divert some of their energy to this "matter"

(as Comey would call it).

Investigate!" Trump tweeted, according to Right Wing News.

Senate Republicans just revealed that Obama tried to give Iran access to the U.S. financial

system by sidestepping sanctions kept in place after the 2015 nuclear deal, despite repeatedly

telling Congress and the public it had no plans to do so.

As Obama tried to make the Iran deal happen, he also worked to make sure Iran received

their so-called promised benefits without playing into the hands of the deal's opponents.

Iran got $150 billion in the deal as well as $400,000 in exchange for prisoners and

another $1.3 billion in cash that Iran claimed was owed to them.

Iran used this money to move ahead with their nuclear weapons program, massively beef up

their military and sponsor terrorism across the globe while the U.S. got nothing in return.

"The Obama administration misled the American people and Congress because they were desperate

to get a deal with Iran," said Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH).

We can only hope that Trump makes sure that Obama is held responsible for the illegal

things he did and that the former president ends up in prison where he belongs!

Mollie Tibbetts' Grieving Dad Tells 'Heartless' Donald Trump Jr 'Don't Use Mollie' to Push Racism - - Duration: 5:54.

 The father of Mollie Tibbets, a college student who was found dead weeks after disappearing, has spoken out against Donald Trump Jr

and other politicians who are trying to use his daughter's death to push their own racist agendas

 In an opinion piece for the Des Moines Register published on Saturday, Rob Tibbetts spoke out against "politicians and pundits" who have "used Mollie's death" as a talking point in ongoing debates about immigration in America, despite his family's emphatic appeals

 "They have instead chosen to callously distort and corrupt Mollie's tragic death to advance a cause she vehemently opposed," he wrote

"The act grievously extends the crime that stole Mollie from our family and is, to quote Donald Trump Jr

, 'heartless' and 'despicable.' "  A day earlier, Don Jr. had published his own opinion piece in the same publication, where he argued that many Democrat politicians had a "heartless" and "despicable" response to Mollie's murder by asking that people focus "on the 'real problems' of our immigration system, such as the separation of families at our border

"  Iowa authorities previously stated that Tibbett's suspected killer, 24-year-old Cristhian Rivera, is an undocumented immigrant

 "At her eulogy, I said Mollie was nobody's victim. Nor is she a pawn in others' debate

She may not be able to speak for herself, but I can and will. Please leave us out of your debate," Rob wrote

"The person who is accused of taking Mollie's life is no more a reflection of the Hispanic community as white supremacists are of all white people

"  "To suggest otherwise is a lie," he wrote, before sharing that his stepdaughter, whom "Mollie loved so dearly," is Latina, as are her children

 Rob added: "To knowingly foment discord amount races is a disgrace to our flag

It incites fear in innocent communities and lends legitimacy to the darkest, most hate-filled corners of the American soul

It is the opposite of leadership. It is the opposite of humanity. It is heartless

It is despicable. It is shameful."  In an interview with the Register, which was also published on Saturday, Rob explained that he was inspired to write his own opinion piece after reading what the president's son had written

 Following news that Mollie had died, President Donald Trump also invoked the killing in starkly electoral language

 "You heard about today with the illegal alien coming in, very sadly, from Mexico and you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman," he said at a rally

"Should've never happened. … The laws are so bad, the immigration laws are such a disgrace

We're getting it changed, but we have to get more Republicans."  In a video posted on his Twitter account, Trump spoke even more directly, referencing his longstanding pledge to erect a southern border wall: "We need the wall

We need our immigration laws changed. We need Republicans to do it, because the Democrats aren't going to do it

"  Despite Trump's frequent remarks, statistics cited by the Pew Research Center show immigrants do not commit crimes more often than native-born Americans

 Tibbetts, a 20-year-old psychology student at the University of Iowa, was last seen alive the night of July 18, on her regular evening run around her hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa

 Rivera made his initial court appearance on Wednesday and is set to return on Aug

31. He remains in custody in lieu of $5 million bond.  He has not entered a plea but his attorney, Allan Richards, has reiterated that he is innocent until proven guilty and that no evidence has yet been presented in court

 "He was just part of the community, an all-American boy working really hard," Richards previously told PEOPLE of Rivera

"Whether or not there was something that happened that was very outrageous, that is a different matter

I have seen no evidence on that."

Trump Promised To rein In Gov Spending - Undo The Liberal Transformation Obama Started In America - Duration: 2:54.

President Trump Takes A Scalpel To Obama Plan, Saves Taxpayers Millions

Donald Trump promised to rein in government spending and undo the liberal transformation

Obama started in America.

So far, he's been doing a bang-up job.

Trump's slashed bloated government programs and curtail abusive regulation.

He cut taxes for millions of Americans.

Yet, the government has enjoyed a surplus this year.

Amazing, isn't it?

Now Trump is setting his sights on one major expense that could use serious trimming, one

that Obama couldn't keep under control during his years as President.From WTop:

President Donald Trump says he plans to freeze automatic pay raises for civilian federal

employees in 2019, citing the need for government belt-tightening…

"We must maintain efforts to put our nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and federal

agency budgets cannot sustain such increases," Trump said in the letter…

Trump said the pay freeze would not "materially affect" the federal government's ability

to recruit qualified workers.

More broadly, the president has signaled his support for moving away from fixed schedule

of pay increases and toward performance-based pay.

Oh, God forbid we base pay increases on performance!

Imagine what was going on: ALL government employees were getting pay raises.

It didn't matter how poorly you were performing.

If you got in late for work every day, never finished your assignments, were rude to your

boss or co-workers: you still got a pay raise!

The federal government employs millions of people.

Thanks to the broken system, they can be assured of a job for the rest of their lives.

Government agencies are very reluctant to fire workers.

They don't lay off staff, even when they are unnecessary.

Plus, they get pay raises every year despite their performance.

All that Trump is doing is bringing a bit of reality into the situation.

Government employees should be held to the same standard as everyone else.

If they want a pay raise, they should earn it.

No more getting bumps in pay—just because you work for the government.

Already liberals are fuming at Trump's measure.

Mark Warner claimed Trump was "assaulting" federal workers.

M-hm.

Democrats are always quick to rage.

But they're not willing to do what it takes for the future of our country.

They'Re Cut Off For Life – Trump Just Rained Down Hell On The Obamas - Duration: 2:09.

Michelle Obama is reportedly livid that President Donald Trump is preparing to sign a bill into

law that would cut her husband off from his six figure pension.

Right Wing News reported that during their time in the White House, Barack and Michelle

Obama forced taxpayers to pay $114 million to fund their lavish vacations and extravagant

lifestyle.

Now, they expect taxpayers to fund Barack's annual $400,000 pension, but Trump is not

having any of it.

In 2017, Obama vetoed a bill that would have curbed the pensions of former presidents if

they took outside income of $400,000 or more.

Republican lawmakers have now presented this bill once again, and Trump likely will not

veto it as his predecessor did.

Introduced by Republican Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, the bill would cap the pensions at $200,000,

with adjustments made for the increase in the cost of living each year.

The bill also makes it so that for every dollar above $400,000 that a president makes from

things like speeches and other post-presidential events, one dollar would be taken off their

pension.

Obama has been making over $400,000 for numerous individual speeches since leaving office.

"Our national debt now exceeds $20 trillion; this bipartisan effort is another important

step toward reining in Washington's out-of-control spending," Ernst explained.

Barack and Michelle just signed a major deal with Netflix, so they do not need our taxpayer

dollars at all.

"One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating

people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider

audience," the former president said in a statement.

"That's why Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix – we hope to cultivate

and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy

and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world."

Michelle can whine about this all she wants to, but Trump is about to cut her off!

GoFundMe Page to Publish Trump's Tweets Against Cruz | Heavy.com - Duration: 6:17.

GoFundMe Page to Publish Trump's Tweets Against Cruz | Heavy.com

A GoFundMe page has raised almost ten thousand dollars to pay for a billboard displaying the harsh words that Donald Trump once tweeted about Ted Cruz.

You can read more about that project here.

The GoFundMe page has already raised much more than its initial goal of six thousand dollars.

Organizers are planning to put up a giant billboard with the words from a tweet that Trump put out in 2016.

The tweet attacks Cruz as an "all talk, no action pol." Organizers plan to put the tweet on a billboard above the stadium where Trump plans to hold a massive rally in support of Ted Cruz's re-election campaign.

Presumably, the plan is to highlight Trump's change of heart on Ted Cruz, and to remind voters of the criticism of Cruz.

Ted Cruz Is Fighting a Tough Opponent and May Lose His Senate Seat.

Ted Cruz is fighting an increasingly tough campaign against his Democratic challenger, Beto O'Rourke.

A recent Marist poll showed 'Rourke coming up strong behind Cruz.

The seat had long been a Republican stronghold, and no Democrat has won that Senate seat since the 1980s.

But the latest poll had Cruz leading by just four points.

Donald Trump has announced that he is throwing his support behind Cruz and said he wants to headline a rally for Ted Cruz "at the biggest stadium in Texas." "I will be doing a major rally for Senator Ted Cruz in October.

I'm picking the biggest stadium in Texas we can find.

As you know, Ted has my complete and total Endorsement.

His opponent is a disaster for Texas – weak on Second Amendment, Crime, Borders, Military, and Vets!".

Trump Wasn't Always a Fan of Ted Cruz — and Now Cruz's Opponents Want to Use Trump's Words Against Him.

Trump is now throwing his full support behind Ted Cruz's campaign.

But it wasn't so very long ago that the two men were bitter rivals, attacking each other at every opportunity.

At the 2016 Republican convention, Cruz was the only delegate who declined to endorse Trump.

He did congratulate Trump on winning the nomination, but he stopped short of telling people to vote for Trump in the general election.

Instead, the Texas senator took the floor to urge people to "vote their conscience" in November.

"Stand and speak and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.".

For his part, Trump tweeted that Cruz was an "all talk, no action" politician.

Trump wrote, "Why would the people of Texas support Ted Cruz when he has accomplished absolutely nothing for them.

He is another all talk no action pol!".

Now, supporters of Beto O'Rourke are raising money to put that anti-Cruz tweet on a giant billboard above whatever stadium Trump speaks at for his long-awaited pro-Cruz rally.

Parkland Survivor David Hogg is One of the People Behind the GoFundMe Page.

The GoFundMe page was jointly organized by Antonio Arrellano, Claude Taylor, and David Hogg.

Antonio Arrellano is a young Mexican-American who lives in Texas and advocates for liberal causes.

He came to the United States at the age of three and speaks on behalf of what he calls "the undocumented community," decrying the separation of families at the border and denouncing alleged abuses in detention facilities.

David Hogg is an 18 year old student and survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on February 14, 2018.

He is an outspoken gun control advocate and a co-founder of the gun control advocacy group Never Again MSD.

Claude Taylor is a graphic artist who has worked on many political campaigns and served on Clinton's White House staff.

President Trump's Biggest Promise - Build A Wall On Our Southern Border At Mexico - Duration: 7:05.

Trump Just Got His Whole Wall Paid For In Stealth Move That Won't Cost US A Dime – Genius!

President Trump's biggest promise, while he was campaigning and afterward, was to build

a wall on our southern border with Mexico.

He said that Mexico, in the end, would pay for that wall.

Not only is Trump actually building the wall, he's found a way to indeed make Mexico pay

for it.

Many have ridiculed the president for saying that Mexico would somehow pay for the wall.

But there have always been multiple ways that they could wind up doing so.

Trump never meant to send them a bill… funding would come from a rework of NAFTA, border

fees or tariffs.

According to President Trump, he and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto are set to reach

a trade deal which will be "one of the largest trade deals ever made.

Maybe the largest trade deal ever made."

Trump has renegotiated NAFTA with Mexico.

As far as I know, he scrapped the name and is dealing individually with Mexico and Canada.

President Trump warned Canada on Saturday that it "will be out" of a revised North

American trade agreement unless it's "fair" to the United States, and he threatened to

scrap the current deal should Congress "interfere" with the negotiations.There is no political

necessity to keep Canada in the new NAFTA deal," Trump said in one of a series of

tweets.

It is unclear whether the Trump administration has the authority to strike a deal with just

Mexico, as it announced Monday, and exclude Canada.

Also, Congress must approve any rewrite of the North American Free Trade Agreement and

might refuse to endorse a deal that leaves longtime ally Canada on the sidelines.It is

clear though that through restructuring and renegotiation, Trump plans to recoup the money

that is spent on the wall from Mexico through a version of the North American Free Trade

Agreement (NAFTA).

NAFTA is an agreement signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States that effectively created

a trilateral trade bloc in North America in 1994 under President Bill Clinton.

The deal lifted tariffs on just about everything that involved Canada, Mexico or the U.S.

It cost America many manufacturing jobs and suppressed wages.

According to the Economic Policy Institute in 2013, some 700,000 jobs were lost as production

moved to Mexico.

The hardest hit states were California, Texas, and Michigan.

NAFTA was an issue that President Trump vowed to address as well when he was elected.

It's yet another promise kept.

Mexico basically elected a tough-talking socialist this time around.

But when Trump brought him to the negotiating table, he folded like a house of cards.

The wall with Mexico will cost approximately $25 billion.

The scuttling and rewriting of NAFTA will allegedly make us many times over that.

So in essence, Trump is forcing Mexico to pay for the wall to be built.Mexican Secretary

of Foreign Affairs Luis Videgaray Caso tweeted, "We just reached a trade understanding with

the US, and the outlook for the relationship between our two countries is very positive.

We will NEVER pay for a wall, however.

That has been absolutely clear from the very beginning."

If he truly believes that he has blinders on because that was never clear.

In fact, just the opposite.

Many Americans have little doubt that President Trump will find a way for Mexico to pay for

the wall.

From The Hill:

"Videgaray's tweet came in response to comments Trump made during a meeting with

FIFA and U.S. Soccer officials about the 2026 men's World Cup.

"Shortly after praising a joint bid from the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to host the tournament

as a "great partnership," Trump was asked about Mexico paying for his border wall.

"The wall will be paid for very easily by Mexico.

It will ultimately be paid for by Mexico," Trump told reporters."Late last month, Trump

threatened to shut down the government if he did not receive adequate funding from the

U.S. Congress for the wall.

Eventually, he may be forced to do just that.

But there are many ways to skin this particular cat.

Mexico is ready to sign the new trade agreement.

Canada is balking but will eventually have to come to the table because they have to.

In 2016, 76.23 percent of their exports were to the U.S. 52.18 percent of their imports

were from the U.S. as well.

President Trump is a master negotiator and doesn't hesitate to play hardball.

Trump plans to call the new deal the "United States-Mexico Trade Agreement."

It will require 75 percent of auto content to be made in the U.S. and Mexico, up from

62.5 percent, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced.

The deal would also require that 40-45 percent of auto content be made by workers earning

at least $16 per hour.According to Sarah Palin, a Fox News op-ed praised the Mexican trade

deal and called it one of the top two "most visible manifestation of Trump's fulfillment

of his campaign promises":

"Second only to the booming economy, Monday's announcement of a deal with Mexico is the

most visible manif

Puerto Rico Death Toll At Nearly 3,000, Trump Says He Did A "Great Job" - Duration: 5:56.

Earlier this week, a new report came out that adjusted the official death toll from Hurricane

Maria in Puerto Rico.

The official death toll has now jumped from 16 to 2,975.

Meaning, almost as many American citizens died in Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico as

died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

That is an increase, an increase of 4,500% over initial official estimates.

2,975 people dead.

We need to remember something here when we talk about these stories.

Puerto Rico is a United States territory.

The people who are residents of Puerto Rico are legal US citizens, and therefore, they

are under the protection of the United States federal government which includes emergency

management operations like FEMA and the National Guard.

Both of those institutions including the Federal government itself, failed in the response

to Hurricane Maria.

FEMA itself admitted in their own internal report, that they were grossly understaffed

and unprepared for the entire 2017 hurricane season, the one that spawned Maria and Irma

and Harvey.

They weren't ready for it.

Not only were they, according to their own estimates about 5,000 staffers short, they

also didn't have proper evacuation plans for Puerto Rico.

They relied on decades old studies that were no longer relevant whatsoever.

Then we also have the bigger problem that's been missed in almost every single story talking

about Puerto Rico, even though there haven't been that many stories talking about Puerto

Rico, and that is the role the United States banks played in helping to bankrupt the island.

United States banks came into Puerto Rico many years ago and started selling government

bonds.

Bonds for the island of Puerto Rico.

So people could invest in their own island, get a small but guaranteed return, but as

it turned out, those banks ripped off the consumers.

There is massive litigation ongoing right now.

Mike Papantonio, actually his law firm are handling many of these cases down there in

Puerto Rico, from investors who got ripped off from these major banks, but it has starved

Puerto Rico of money, and that is one of the reasons why the infrastructure was so horrible.

The island had no money to fix things before the storm, and that's what caused even more

widespread damage on the island.

We have the National Guard and FEMA, both of whom as I mentioned before, were pathetic

in their responses, unfortunately, but all that leadership comes from the top.

These 2,975 at least deaths rest on the feet of Donald J. Trump, the President of the United

States.

Here's the kicker.

Remember the massive outrage from George W. Bush's responses to Hurricane Katrina?

How awful he was?

You're doing a heck of job, Brownie.

Everybody across this country was absolutely appalled at how he handled that.

His approval rating tanked and it never recovered for the rest of his administration.

Where's that national outcry for Puerto Rico?

Are there too many people in the United States today that don't understand that Puerto Rico

is a United States territory?

That those people are US citizens, or more importantly that they're human beings in general

who we should be helping?

That's the problem.

That's one of the biggest things that makes me angry about this, is the fact that nobody

is talking about it.

There is no outrage, and that US citizen or not, these are human beings who are suffering

and we have the means to help them, but we are choosing not to.

We are choosing to not help out our fellow citizens down there in Puerto Rico.

That's what's happening.

The government has money, okay.

Don't let them tell you it's going broke.

Yeah, we've got a massive deficit.

We have to borrow money, but the money's there.

We could be helping these people.

We could have rebuilt this entire island by now.

You know, limited only by the number of contractors that we could have found.

We made this choice.

We made the choice to let them die.

We made the choice to just leave them there, in anguish.

As a country, that is not only unforgivable, but unacceptable, and somebody, the person

at the very top, needs to be held accountable for this.

I know Democrats don't want to talk about impeachment.

They don't want to run on Trump in the midterms and I agree with them for the most part on

all that, but this right here, Puerto Rico, the response to that, nearly 3,000 people

dead at least.

Some studies actually show maybe up to 5,000 dead.

This is something that they should run on.

They should run on the fact that Republican government starves the government itself of

funds, via tax dollars, so that we don't have a response.

They cut the budgets for groups like FEMA, so that they cannot properly respond to these

national disasters.

That should be a campaign talking point, but unfortunately, I don't see anyone out there

talking about it today, even after we got this insane report showing that the death

toll was over 4,000 times higher than what the government initially estimated.
