Trump is a legend in his own mind, he is always the smartest man in the room, according to him. Trump knowns more about everything than anybody. Trump claims to be the best in everything, the draft dodger claimed to know far more about the military than his generals. One the first thing Trump did was break the treaty that America had negotiated with Iran. When America gives its word and sign a treaty it is binding on America. Trump has no honor at all and he sees nothing wrong with breaking treaties. Trump has made a living out of cheating people all his life, Trump University comes to mind. The other countries that sign the treaty with Iran have kept their end of the bargain. Trump unilaterally re-imposed sanctions on Iran. When a country is sanctioned medicines and other necessities are blocked by the sanctions. Now Trump is sending 120,000 troops into the Middle east in effort to provoke a war with Iran. Israel has done everything in their power to start a war with Iran but the previous administrations had stopped them from starting a war with Iran. Now Trump knows that in order to get reelected he needs to be a war president and start his very own war. It will take only one small provocation to start a major war and with Trump knowing far more than all his generals this should be a “short war.”

The United States is so lucky to be represented by a man who is the best at everything. if you don’t believe it listen to him, he will tell you. When Trump tells you, he knows far more than the generals he actually believes it. That is what makes him so dangerous and also what makes him so open manipulation. Narcissists crave the adulation of others they and they need it to keep the illusion of their fragile self-concept. Trump was rolled, like a drunk at a local bar, by Putin and Kim Jong-un. After Trump met with them, he claimed these vicious dictators as best friends. One thing you don’t want to do is be best friends with vicious dictators because it will affect your judgement. Trump accepted Putin word that the Russians didn’t interfere in the 2016 election despite all kinds of proof that they did. Then there is the age factor Trump is 72 beyond the retirement age anybody that believes that the human mind does not deteriorate with age hasn’t been there yet. There is a steady decline in brain performance as we age just as there is a steady decline in physical performance as we age. I don’t think Trump had an excess of extra brain cells to spare in the first place. If Trump were reelected, he would be 77 by the end of his term and a senile old man would have his hand on the atomic weapons. At that age he is likely to die and why shouldn’t everybody else die with him?
I would agree that both Biden and Sanders are two old to be president. I think there should an age limit of 61 to be elected president. There are jobs that older people can do that don’t have life or death consequences. When my mom noticed that she was making small mistakes that she usually didn’t make, she knew it was time to retire. In intensive care If she had figured someone’s medicine wrong, someone might die. Most people cannot fairly evaluate their mental well being and tend to make excuses for their mistakes as they become more common. Most people would like to believe they are as mentally competent as they were during their prime but they are kidding themselves. You can begin to see some small mistakes in the late 40s and they get worse with age.

Now Trump is going to file up the auto industry, it looks like Trump may add 25% tariff on imported cars. A 25% tariff on clothing is one thing but 25% tariff on a car is a horse of a different color. A 25% tariff on a $30,000 car will be $7,500 that would be real dollars if you drove a Toyota, Nissan, Honda or even a BMW as they are also imported and subject to tariffs. What happens when tariffs are imposed is that domestic manufacturers raise their prices to match the cost of the foreign cars plus the tariff. There is that 25% tax increase except in this case most cars are financed so the 25% will be compounded by interest over the life of the loan. Trump and his band of idiots want to bring the American car manufacturing back to the level it was in the 1980s. The Trump administration claims that buying a foreign-cars is a national security threat. Trump and his band of idiots will destroy the economy in the long run and destroy trade relations around the world and make living in the United States much more expensive.
Finally a Republican lawmakers is speaking out against Trump. Rep Justin Amash (R Mich.) said the President engaged impeachable conduct according to Mueller Report. They said any impeachment needed to be bipartisan now it looks like Trump’s impeachment will be indeed bipartisan. Amash is one of the very few Republicans that actually read the full Mueller Report. Amash also stated that Attorney General Barr had deliberately misrepresented the finding in the Mueller Report.
Amash said, “When liberty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the constitution, the Rule of Law---the foundation of liberty crumbles”
Amash cofounded the House Freedom Caucus, which has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for Trump

Now the truth about Trump is beginning to come out. It seems many of Trump’s and Kushner’s accounts with Deutsche bank triggered computer alerts for illegal activity. The questionable transactions were studied by security employees and reported to managers that should report them to the treasury department. Since there was a series of such reports, they should have been reported but bank managers that cater to the ultra-wealth decided not to report them as Trump owed them $300 million and if he goes jail, he would likely not pay the loan if it was reported. Many of the suspicious transaction involved money being sent to Russians. When one bank examiner pushed for the Trump suspicious Trump accounts to be reported she was transferred and later terminated. At least five Deutsche bank employees have verified the story. Some of the illicit transaction involve the Trump charity. It seems Kushner is guilty of the same crimes. All I want for Christmas is Trump in an orange jump suit. Trump can concentrate on making prison great again.

Deutsche Bank was fined $41 million for failing to “maintain adequate protection against money laundering” on May 31 2017. Now at least 5 employees have stated that managers Deutsche Bank prevented them from notifying the Treasury Department about suspicious activity in Trump and Kushner’s bank accounts. In this case is not failing to maintain adequate protection against money laundering they are deliberately and actively trying to obstruct the prosecution of its money laundering clients. Deutsche Bank denies that it fired any employees as a result of them pushing for Trump’s money laundering to be reported but one quit over the ethics and another employee was transfer and fired from another department in the bank. The reports show that Trump was sending large amounts of money into Russia. Russia has become kleptocracy with a few Russian making off with most of the country’s assets, manufacturing, and natural resources. There is an enormous need to launder money for all those stolen assets. Trump was bankrupt for all practical purposes after he bankrupted his casinos then suddenly Trump is flush with cash buying golf courses with cash when Kushner was asked where all the money was coming from, he replied Russia. What was left of Trump real estate made an excellent money laundering operation for the Russians.

The question that will be answered in the next election is, will Trump be able to convince the public that he is a victim of the deep state and that he has done nothing wrong? We could start with his 10,000 lies no one can deal with a known liar let alone another country. Tillerson called Trump a moron and he was serious about. Tillerson said Trump would lay out his plans and Tillerson would tell him, you can’t do that it is illegal. Trump does not care whether it was illegal or not he violates the law all the time. Tillerson said, That the Trump administration actively avoided confronting Russia about allegations of interference in the election in an effort to develop a solid relationship with the Kremlin. We were under attack by the Russian military and they are worried about having a better relationship with Russia. This sounds like battered wife syndrome, after her husband has beat the hell out of his wife for the tenth time, she is worried about having a better relationship with him. At some point you have to realize like the battering husband, Russia has no interest in having a better relationship with us they are only interested in running our political system.

The democrats continue to debate whether to impeach Trump. The movement to impeach Trump is gaining strength more Democrats are getting on board everyday and even one Republican is in favor of impeaching Trump. Nancy Pelosi thinks she can have it both ways by kicking the impeachment can down the road at least past the next election, this is politics 101, I have watched politicians do this all my life when faced with an unpopular task they just put it off. This way when she is questioned about impeachment before the election, she could say we are still investigation and hope to get both the Trump voters and those who favor impeachment. If Trump is not impeached it will make him look like the alpha dog lording over the House. The Democrats took back the House because the public wanted them to do something with Trump if they don’t do anything Trump’s narrative will stand, that the Mueller investigation was just a political stunt. Trump is currently keeping any administration members that witnessed Trump obstructing justice from testifying in front of Congress. The legal battles over their appearance could drag on for years. Trump is also hoping to kick the impeachment can down the road. Today Trump blew up and stormed out of a meeting about infrastructure saying he will refuse to work with Democrats until they stopped investigating him. Clearly a criminal trying to wag the dog.

Trump is pushing the investigation of the FBI and other US intelligence agencies that were investigating his ties to Russia. Trump claims they spied on his campaign. Of course, there is another word for that it is typically called investigating instead of spying. Trump has blocked the full Mueller report from being released but Trump has given the attorney general, Barr, the authority to declassify anything he find in his investigation. On one hand Trump is blocking any testimony on the Mueller report and on the other hand he is going to declassify all the classified information from the investigation of the FBI and other US intelligence agencies. Since many of the sources involved will be soviet citizens they will likely be killed if Putin finds out they were supplying information to the FBI. Trump won’t lose any sleep over them being killed. Barr has shown himself to be a Trump lapdog his summation of Mueller report was totally misleading. Imagine what Barr can do by selectively declassify classified material. Trump is escalating this investigation it can’t be done fast enough to suit him. Trump believes that the FBI should never be able to investigate him no matter what he does.

Once Trump makes a best friend his best friend can do no wrong. Trump befriended Kim Jong Un and Kimm recently test fired missiles but Trumps see no problem with the missiles test firings. John Bolton, Trump’s National Security advisor said the missile test violated the United Nations security council resolutions. Bolton further stated that Trump is determined to enforce the sanction but Trump does not seem to care. It is so easy for one of these dictators to turn Trump’s head and manipulate him.
Trump lost another court battle over his border wall funding that Mexico was suppose to pay for. Trump was trying to raid the military budget for a billion dollars. The judge ruled that Congress is the one with the power to budget money not the president. If Congress budgets the money for the military the money must be spent on the military.

Trump claims that the FBI has “outrageous corruption” this from a man that founded Trump University that swindled thousands of people and he defraud others out of their life savings in fraudulent real estate scams. The criminal mind is a marvel to watch work. They are always pointing out the criminal activity of others or the imagined criminal activity of others in their mind this diminishes their culpability. Criminals see the world that way they believe everyone is just like them a criminal. In their mind there are only two types of people, the criminals who get caught and the ones that don’t get caught. When they are caught it is a huge injustice because they know of others that did not get caught. Prosecuting them is unjust in their mind. Trump has this mind set and the very idea that they are prosecuting him upsets him.
I had an informant for years that would rat everyone else out but the trouble was he was always doing the same thing he was reporting others for but he was upset with others because they were costing him money. I dealt with him for years until he finally decided to kill a woman and cut her up and put her in the river behind his house but what got him caught was, he didn’t put all of her body in the river. The problem was he still had some parts left over and somehow kept them hidden from the police for over a year. The police were on to him but did not have enough proof. A year later he called a relative and ask him to help him dispose of the rest of the body and a local car wash dumpster. The relative tipped the police off and he was caught disposing of the rest of the body. Last I heard he was complaining about conditions at the local jail. He wanted them to let him out because the conditions were so bad. He really saw nothing wrong with what he did, after all other people have murdered people and gotten away with it, but he is being victimized by the system just as Trump sees himself as the victim.

There will be a presidential election next year and every voter will have to ask himself the question am I better off today then I was when Trump was elected? The Trump tax cut was only for the ungodly greedy only 28% of taxpayers reported that they actually got a tax cut while many had to pay more taxes. The 25% tariff is only going to be a 25% tax increase on the middle class. This has already happened with washing machines the 25% tariff resulted in a $100 increase in the price of washing machines. The agriculture sector has to be subsidized to the tune of $15 billion because of the tariffs imposed by the Chinese on American agriculture products. People will see the Trump tax cut was bogus but how many will connect the 25% increase in many of the products they buy? Many will believe that Trump had nothing to with the increasing prices for product they have to buy. The middle-class standard of living always goes down during Republican administration. The Republican party has always been the party of the ungodly greedy. If the middle-class loses another 25% the middle class will shrink and the lower class will substantially increase. The last time the Republicans lowered the middle-class standard of living the women had to go to work to keep their families in the middle-class I guess the Republicans will repeal the child labor laws so the children can hold a job.

Trump thinks he is waging a trade war but what do the Chinese think? The Chinese fought on the side of North Korea in the Korean war. Now to harden the sentiment of Chinese people the government is showing the Korean war movies. You can bet the Chinese Korean war movies are nothing like our movies made about the Korean war. In the Chinese Korean war movies America is portrayed as the great Satan that has come from half way around the world to invade a small Asian country. The Chinese are getting ready for long war. Trump may think the Chinese will just roll over and play dead but he who fails to learns from history is destined to repeat it. Trump doesn’t read anything so he has no idea the history of the Chinese people. In the Korean war the Chinese sent wave after wave of Chinese soldiers against the Americans until the Americans learned there would be an unending stream of soldiers. A primitive third world country fought the greatest military power on earth to a draw. Trump has no idea how determined the Chinese can be they are willing to pay a tremendous price to stop Trump.
Mueller has finally spoken and said that the reason Trump was not charged with obstruction of justice the governing factor in his decision was that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime while he is in office not according to a law but a memo. Which brings up the question why even bother to investigate a sitting president? Mueller explanation was two-fold, first the investigation needs to take place while the details are fresh in the witnesses’ minds and second there is a procedure to deal with a president who commits crimes while in office and that procedure is impeachment. Mueller clearly put the ball in Congress’s court. The Mueller investigation took two years and now Nancy Pelosi says Congress needs more time to investigate. One of the most extensive investigation in history is done, the time for investigation is over. Even a six-year-old can see Trump obstructed when he ordered Mueller’s firing. Of all the people that end up hiring a hitman who ends up being a policeman not one has been found innocent because the policeman/hitman did not carry out the murder. Giving the order was all that was necessary for a conviction. Trump ordered Mueller fired there is not a jury in America that followed the law that would not convict Trump.

Trump has just imposed a 5% tariff on goods shipped from Mexico and the Dow Jones futures has plunged a 160 pts in three hours. Trump imposes tariffs unilaterally and any tariffs should require the approval of Congress. Trump has justified the imposition of tariffs as national security risk which means they don’t need the approval of Congress. I believe all of the Trump tariffs are not about national security as they are about further shifting the tax burden onto the middle-class. So far Trump has put tariffs on washing machines, steel and aluminum, China, and Japanese cars are next on Trump agenda. The Trump tax cut has cost the country far more than expected which makes an excellent argument for repealing it. If the tariffs bring in enough revenue, they will offset some of the revenue lost to the Trump tax cut. Before Trump gets through, he will impose tariffs on every country in the world and takes us back to a time before there was an income tax and tariffs were the government’s primary revenue source. Tariffs are in fact a flat tax where everybody pays a tax which is a percentage of the price of the product. The national security excuse is giving one man the power to impose a 25% tax on every American

You can always tell when a gun nut is having a bad day. The bad day was in Virginia Beach today 12 people were shot to death and another five were wounded. It was evidently bring your gun to work today at the Virginia Beach Publics Works Department. The shooter was a long-time employee of the public utilities department. With the high death toll, I suspected the weapon involved would be an assault weapon but it turned out to be a 45 with a suppressor, thank you president Trump for making silencers legal. This will make it so much easier for mass murders to murder more people. I have to wonder how long the shooter had trained for this shooting and how big a clip the shooter had. There are people that no matter what goes wrong believe it is someone else’s fault. Trump comes to mind, since it is never their fault, they blame others. If a long-time employee is fired they may hold others responsible and if a gun is handed it makes for easy revenge.
Now Trump is going to file up the auto industry, it looks like Trump may add 25% tariff on imported cars. A 25% tariff on clothing is one thing but 25% tariff on a car is a horse of a different color.

This is a good thing. Obama murdered Pontiac. Now Trump will save the auto industry.

If China refuses to stop their cheating and piracy, then the tariffs will remain and America will stop buying Chinese goods.
