monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

One in four voters believe President Donald Trump's unsupported claim that millions of votes were illegally cast in the 2016 election, but more people believe that Trump benefited from any electoral malfeasance instead of Hillary Clinton.

A new POLITICO/Morning Consult survey showed that 25 percent of registered voters say they agree with Trump that millions of people improperly cast ballots last November

White House press secretary Sean Spicer insisted on Tuesday at his daily briefing that the executive order signed by the president last week does not constitute a “travel ban.” Just over an hour earlier, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said the same.

Those statements put both men at odds with their boss, President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly referred to the order he signed Friday as a “ban.” Spicer attempted to explain away that discrepancy Tuesday, telling reporters in the briefing room that the president was merely “using the words the media is using.”

Jerry Falwell Jr., an evangelical leader and president of Liberty University, has accepted a role leading the Trump administration's higher education task force, the Chronicle on Higher Education and NBC News reported Tuesday night.

Falwell told the Chronicle that in the role, he will target "overreaching regulation" of colleges and universities, like rules on accreditation.

I stopped reading after "I figure". You ****-eaters can't figure anything.

After the events of the past few days it is clear that Donald Trump’s vision for America will not be restrained by Theresa May. On Friday they talked and held hands. Hours later Trump ushered in his fascistic, so-called Muslim travel ban with a stroke of his executive pen.

Neither does hope for the future lie with the more critical Angela Merkel, nor so-called moderate Republicans, nor indeed the US Democratic establishment. If Trumpism is to fail in its mission to remake the United States in its own image, it will require an extraordinary movement of popular resistance both at home and abroad.

The beginnings offer grounds for optimism. The Women’s March that followed the inauguration represents perhaps the biggest ever protest by Americans, eclipsing even those against the Vietnam War. There are few precedents for spontaneous protests on the scale of those of the past weekend against the executive order banning people in seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US – airports, including JFK in New York, were filled with demonstrators. Here in Britain – positioned by our government as Trump’s closest ally – more than a million people have demanded that May scrap Trump’s proposed state visit, and there are street protests against the travel ban. All this, just days after Trump’s assumption of power.

But the emerging Stop Trump movement needs to understand what it is up against. America’s democracy faces an unprecedented threat. The new president seeks to remodel American society and block opposition. His flagrant lies about millions of fraudulent votes in last year’s presidential election undoubtedly reflect the insecurity of an authoritarian demagogue who lost the popular vote.
