07.13.20-The Washington Post Data Base of 20,000 Trump lies and misleading statements
|
I was asked by someone if I can separate the man from his policies. My answer is NO. So many of Trump's policies result from his horrible view of people and the world. They are inextricably linked.
And, shouldn't you respect the president?-I say you can respect the office, but the person occupying it has to earn respect.

Angela Merkel 07.11.20-Trump, as well as Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro and Russia's Vladimir Putin, must have felt his ears burning when the German Chancellor demolished their approaches to the coronavirus in a speech Thursday. "As we are experiencing firsthand, you cannot fight the pandemic with lies and disinformation any more than you can fight it with hate or incitement to hatred," Merkel said. "The limits of populism and denial of basic truths are being laid bare." Mitt Romney (sometimes) 07.11.20-Romney breaks from GOP again with criticism of Trump's Roger Stone decision. "Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president." 06.15.20-says it's "apparent on its face" that the Biden probe is politically motivated, considering the elder Biden is the Democratic nominee, Nasty People: OANN 07.12.20-Trump recommended that his supporters switch form FOX to OANN, a far-right platform that has promoted false claims that Hillary Clinton is secretly bankrolling antifa, California legislators want to ban sales of the Bible and that the Coronavirus was created by the Deep State in North Carolina (citing a “citizen investigator” who believes Dr. Anthony Fauci personally funded the creation of the virus.) FOX News-Trump's lackey 07.06.20-Fox News crops Trump out of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein photo, leaves in Melania. 06.28.20-Click-The data is in: Fox News may have kept millions from taking the coronavirus threat seriously. (copyright The Washington Post) 06.16.20-apologized over the weekend for illustrating articles about the autonomous zone in Seattle with digitally altered images and, in one case, a burning building from St. Paul, Minnesota. Lindsay Graham-Hypocrite 06.26.20-in 2015 called then-candidate Trump "a race-baiting xenophobic bigot" who should "go to hell." Megachurch Pastors-Christian in name only 06.17.20-Atlanta megachurch pastor Louie Giglio sets off firestorm by calling slavery a ‘blessing’ to whites. Previously said “being gay is a sinful choice” and that gay people “will be prevented from ‘entering the Kingdom of God.’ Mike Pence-the pathetic, insufferable sycophant 06.17.20-“We are winning the fight against the invisible enemy,” Pence declared, dismissing fears of a second wave of the pandemic, even as multiple states registered record numbers of new infections following the easing of lockdown orders. 06.16.20-He encouraged governors to “explain to your citizens the magnitude of increase in testing,” not merely because more testing might be a good thing, but also because this is the primary cause of the “marginal rise in number” of coronavirus cases. This is deceptive. As a new Post analysis finds, in six states, the seven-day average of new cases has gone up in the past two weeks even as average testing has dropped. In another 14 states, the rate of new cases is rising faster than the rise in the average number of tests. 06.11.20-He posted and then deleted a tweet showing Trump campaign staff not wearing face masks or socially distancing. William Barr-Trump's evil twin 06.25.20-Analysts say Barr is eroding Justice Department independence — without facing any real personal consequence. Since February, Barr has intervened in two criminal cases to the benefit of those who once advised Trump; ousted a U.S. attorney who is investigating Trump’s personal lawyer; and dutifully implemented Trump’s vision for a forceful crack down on demonstrators in the District protesting police violence. 06.22.20-Barr's attempt to rein in the Manhattan federal prosecutor's office was an 'abject failure.' "As attempted power plays go, this was an abject failure and served only to further undermine the credibility of both the attorney general and the president," Greg Brower, a former federal prosecutor, tells The New York Times. " 06.12.20-Barr claims that PepperBalls are not a chemical agent.If he had bothered to check with his own department, he would have quickly learned that PepperBalls are a chemical irritant. 06.10.20-Bully Billy Barr-“classic bully” and “power abuser”-Bush’s attorney general, lawyer Jimmy Lohman, who attended New York’s Horace Mann School and later Columbia University with Barr, said the four Barr brothers picketed the school’s “Junior Carnival” because proceeds went to the NAACP, and he alleged that Billy Barr, the “most fanatic rightist” of the four, later “teamed with the New York City riot police to attack anti-war protesters and ‘long hairs." Trump, Jr.-OMG 06.09.20-Trump Jr.’s Mongolia Hunting Trip Cost Taxpayers $77,000, for Secret Service protection. Eric Trump-Not worth even mentioning. Tucker Carlson-A Reckless, Dangerous Liar 06.25.20-The “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host cooked up a conspiracy theory involving the Democrats and the anti-racism demonstrations that spread following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month. “They are the armed militia of the Democratic Party. They’re working to overthrow our system of government,” he continued. “They’re trying to put themselves in power. That’s all obvious now.” 06.09.20-On Monday night, Tucker Carlson claimed Democrats and the Black Lives Matter movement were trying to eliminate the police and replace them with an armed “woke militia” to take over cities and increase the power of the Democratic Party. 06.12.20-He loses six major advertisers. Armed Militias 06.16.20-New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) said in a statement. “To menace the people of New Mexico with weaponry — with an implicit threat of violence — is on its face unacceptable; that violence did indeed occur is unspeakable.” Rush Limbaugh -Wow! What a disgusting asshole. Laura Ingraham-07.01.20-she described Fauci last month as “the medical deep state.” On Tuesday, she railed against Fauci’s dire warning to a Senate committee that the United States could soon see up to 100,000 new daily coronavirus infections. Ingraham suggested, without offering any evidence to back up her claim, that Fauci is working for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

Trump Stuff
07.12.20-Republicans who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 explain why they are turning their backs on the president this November in a critical new ad. In the spot that Republican Voters Against Trump released Friday, 15 former supporters of the president cite his lies, vitriolic rhetoric and mishandling of the coronavirus crisis as just some of the reasons for ditching him in the 2020 election. Trump has “broken my faith in the Republican Party,” says one. Others claim to be “ashamed,” “embarrassed” and “riddled with guilt” to have backed Trump in the first place. 07.11.20-Click-Trump’s commutation of Roger Stone’s sentence is an unforgivable betrayal of his office. (copyright The Washington Post) 06.30.20-BERNSTEIN: TRUMP WAS 'DELUSIONAL' AND OUTMATCHED President Donald Trump was so unprepared for calls with the leaders of Russia and Turkey that he regularly threatened U.S. national security while boasting about his achievements, CNN’s Carl Bernstein reported Monday. Over hundreds of calls cited by anonymous sources, Trump almost never read briefing material prepared by intelligence agencies and would often take unplanned calls from foreign leaders. Two unnamed sources told Bernstein the regularity of the calls and Trump’s behavior led them to believe the president was “delusional” and thought he could charm or bully other leaders into doing what he wanted. [HuffPost] 06.30.20-WHITE HOUSE KNEW ABOUT RUSSIAN BOUNTY A YEAR AGO: REPORT Top officials in the White House were aware in early 2019 of classified intelligence indicating Russia was secretly offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans, a full year earlier than has been previously reported, according to U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the intelligence. The assessment was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time, according to the officials. Then-national security adviser John Bolton also told colleagues he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019. [AP] The *best* defense of Trump on the bounty story is that he ignores his intelligence briefings—in other words, that he’s grossly incompetent at his job. And even *that* doesn’t remotely cover his reactions since Friday—none of which have acknowledged the gravity of the situation. 06.28.20-Disgusting!-Trump Campaign Peeled Off Social Distancing Stickers In Arena Before Tulsa Rally. Some 12,000 “Do Not Sit Here” stickers to help protect people attending from COVID-19 were removed by the campaign, according to arena management. 06.25.20-“Donald Trump doesn’t want to run a country. He wants to run a campaign. Joe Biden actually wants to run a country,” said Mark Cuban, the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks. 06.24.20-Trump's former National Economic Council director Gary Cohn allegedly wrote in an email, "Trump won't read anything — not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing. He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored." The only information that interests Trump is information that affirms his self-image. He's rich, handsome, and popular — that's what he wants to hear, which is why he regularly says it himself. 06.22.20-Trump on Monday baselessly claimed that the general election in November will be “RIGGED” because of mail-in ballots, a method for voting that the president himself has used multiple times.The president said foreign countries are printing phony ballots, but election officials say it would be virtually impossible for such ballots to go undetected. 06.21.20-Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms condemned Trump for staging his rally in Tulsa, the site of a historic race massacre, after a month of protests and civil unrest over racism and police brutality, subjects he skipped entirely during his speech.“That rally was an embarrassment,” she said. “It was absolutely what the nation does not need right now. He did not speak about healing. He did not recognize any of the racial tensions that are happening across our country. “Instead, he does what he always does. He continues to try and divide us and really inflames the worst in people. And so I just hope that this is a good sign that the country is moving on from him.” 06.21.20-Tulsa rally-fire department counts 6,200 in 19,000 seat arena-reporters saw no interference from protesters. Mobile stage speeches were scrapped. Hot words, empty seats! Blue, no less! 06.18.20-In its online salvo against antifa and “far-left mobs,” Trump’s reelection campaign is displaying a marking the Nazis once used to designate political prisoners in concentration camps. A red inverted triangle was first used in the 1930s to identify Communists, and was applied as well to Social Democrats, liberals, Freemasons and other members of opposition parties. 06.18.20-Trump says Bolton's book is lies and then says it has classified information. Which is it? 06.18.20-Trump encouraged the Chinese leader to build facilities akin to “concentration camps” to imprison members of the Uighur Muslims minority group. 06.17.20-Trump’s false claim that Obama ‘never even tried to fix’ police brutality: Asked about Trump’s comments, Nancy G. La Vigne, vice president for justice policy at the Urban Institute, responded: “Untrue. There actually were extensive efforts to reform policing that were evidence-based and informed by leading experts in the field. This includes the Task Force on 21st Century Policing and the National Initiative in Building Community Trust and Justice,” she said in an email. “Further, DOJ under AG Eric Holder pursued consent decrees and pattern and practice investigations with vigor — two strategies that this administration has abandoned.” 06.12.20-Trump Administration Refuses To Disclose Which Businesses Received $500 Billion In Government Bailout. UPDATE-06.21.20-The Trump administration, following a backlash, said it would release details about companies that received loans of $150,000 or more from a coronavirus relief program for small businesses. 06.12.20-The '90s Chemical Weapons Convention banned the use of tear gas in warfare. But loopholes have allowed countries like the US to use it against its own people as a "riot control agent." And law enforcement has used it to (you guessed it) control crowds. But experts say it should only be used as a last resort, and that using it on peaceful protesters is excessive. And that its effects are harmful. 06.12.20-Trump went to Dallas to host an event on race and policing but the White House neglected to invite the Dallas police chief, Dallas County sheriff, or Dallas County district attorney, all of whom are Black. 06.11.20-Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley said he regretted his participation in President Trump’s photo opportunity outside St. John’s Church last week. 06.09.20-Barr contradicts Trump’s story that he was in bunker for ‘Inspection.’ Trump was being protected from protesters, the attorney general reveals in a Fox News interview. 06.09.20-Trump on Tuesday suggested without evidence that a 75-year-old man who was knocked to the ground by police in Buffalo, N.Y., last week during a protest over George Floyd’s death was a member of antifa and that the incident was “a set up.” 06.08.20-We can only hope: Trump's internal polls reportedly show a 'brutal' falloff among independents and a 'woman problem' and 'prominent Republicans are balking at voting for Trump. Could it cost him the election?' 06.05.20-The Trump campaign took down a video late Thursday trumpeting NASA’s return to human spaceflight, after harsh criticism that it was politicizing the event and violating NASA advertising rules. 06.05.20-In March, nearly 80 percent of white evangelicals said they approved of the job Trump was doing, But by the end of May, with the country convulsed by racial discord, Trump’s favorability among white evangelicals had fallen 15 percentage points to 62 percent, according to a PRRI poll released Thursday. That is consistent with declines that other surveys have picked up recently. Among white Catholics, the same poll also found that his approval has fallen by 27 points since March. 06.05.20-Televangelist Pat Robertson publicly scolded President Donald Trump during “The 700 Club” Tuesday, saying that his response to the unrest after George Floyd’s death “isn’t cool.” 06.05.20-Retired military chiefs criticize Trump's actions-(copyright Slate.com) 06.05.20-The FBI Finds ‘No Intel Indicating Antifa Involvement’ in Sunday’s violence.Trump wants to designate antifa a terrorist organization, despite lack of authority and evidence of wrongdoing. 06.02.20-Conservative Icon George Will Urges November Sweep: Vote Out Trump, All GOP Enablers.The conservative commentator says it’s time to send Republicans a message at the ballot box. 05.05.20-TV ad by a Republican group 04.24.20-Click to see 'Home Alone at the White House: A Sour President, With TV His Constant Companion'-Thirsty for Praise (copyright The New York Times) 04.21.20-GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee agrees Russia tried to interfere in 2016 election on Trump's behalf |

(Before COVID-19) Yes, the stock market is doing well and it started with Obama, who pulled us out of the 2008 disaster; Click for chart
A Gallup poll found that 55 percent of people own any stock — a majority, but most of them own only small amounts. If we break the population into 10 groups (or deciles) based on how much stock they own, we find that the top decile accounts for 86.8 percent of all stocks. The next decile owns 9.5 percent, the third 2.8 percent, and the rest little or nothing. In other words, the richest 10 percent of Americans own a giant super-majority of the stock market. The rest have scraps, if they have anything. (copyright The Week)
