http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-campaign-email-blasts-democrats-america-haters-article-1.3668289Trump campaign fund-raising email calls Democrats ‘America haters'
Democrats hate "America," according to Eric Trump.
In a fund-raising email Thursday, the presidential son called on his father's supporters to donate to the "Make America Great Again Committee" and show the "America haters" that "our movement is still STRONG."
"They want to wake up tomorrow and say we are slipping, and that America no longer stands behind President Trump," he wrote. "They are dead wrong."
Eric Trump also said that the country has started to "WIN" again under his father's leadership, citing President Trump's controversial move to withdraw from the landmark Paris Climate Accord as proof.
Trump also blasted Democrats for supposedly undermining his father's "America First agenda," a term that President Trump has been repeatedly criticized for using as it harkens back to rhetoric used by ? -sympathizing groups in the 1940s.
"As my father continues to deliver on the promises he made, they're becoming increasingly panicked — even attacking our fund-raising numbers," Trump continued.
The Thursday email is not the first time the Trump family has used contentious issues to call for donations.
Last month, an email signed by President Trump himself called on supporters to give him money as a way of opposing the NFL players who kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality. -
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sanders-trump-muslim-hate-videos-elevate-the-conversationWH: Trump Retweeted Anti-Muslim Videos To ‘Elevate The Conversation’
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday defended President Donald Trump’s retweeting of anti-Muslim propaganda from a British ultranationalist hate group, saying that Trump reposted the videos to “elevate the conversation” about terrorism and “extreme violence.”
Asked if the President felt an obligation to ensure that videos he shared on Twitter were accurate — one of the ultranationalist videos purporting to show a “Muslim migrant” beating a Dutch boy was incorrect in that assertion — Sanders didn’t answer directly.
“I think the President feels that bringing up important issues of our time like extreme violence and terrorism [is] important to do,” she said. “That was what he was doing in that process, and I think he’s going to continue to do that in a number of venues whether it’s through speeches, whether it’s through Twitter or other social media platforms.”
Trump has said nothing of the sort with regard to the tweets. He simply reposted the ? material, actions which have been widely denounced.
“Does he understand, though, that sharing those videos might incite violence against Muslims and does he understand that he has elevated a British political group that many people outside of Britain didn’t even know about until he tweeted it?” the reporter asked, pressing Sanders.
“Look, I think what he’s done is elevate the conversation to talk about a real issue and a real threat, and that’s extreme violence and extreme terrorism,” Sanders replied, “something that we know to be very real and something the President feels strongly about talking about and bringing up, making sure it’s an issue every single day, that we’re looking at the best ways to protect Americans.”
The press secretary later said that she did not believe Trump knew who Jayda Fransen was. Fransen, who posted the videos Trump retweeted, is deputy leader of Britain First, the ultranationalist hate group. She was found guilty of religiously aggravated harassment in early November in a British court for verbally abusing a Muslim woman on the street in front of her children. Fransen called the ruling “Islamic appeasement.”
“But, again, I think he knew what the issues are, and that is that we have a real threat of extreme violence and terrorism, not just in this country but across the globe, particularly in Europe,” Sanders said.
“I’m not sure every single video the President has viewed,” Sanders added later, asked if it was normal for Trump to view Britain First’s videos.
On Wednesday, Sanders said Trump had posted the videos because “the threat is real,” and to discuss “the need for national security, the need for military spending.”
The White House did not respond to TPM’s requests to clarify who Sanders was referring to as a threat.
The videos tweeted by Trump purported to show a Muslim migrant beating up a Dutch boy — though the Dutch embassy said the perpetrator was not a migrant — a Muslim man destroying a statue of the ? Mary, and an “Islamist mob” pushing a teenage boy off of a roof and beating him to death, though the latter videos have not been verified as such.
Trump’s actions were widely denounced, to the point that some speculated his Twitter account had been hacked. It had not, according to the White House, which has stood behind Trump’s actions. -
He is exactly what this country is and represents it and the world actually needs to see it for what it is.damn! zero ? given by trump. dude is jus a typical fox news viewer. 70+ year old racist white man. he is so mentally unfit for office, its crazy...

I say that based off how racist this country has been and still is. Trump is really just saying out loud how a lot of white people like himself in the country really feel.

but he is unfit office. that is undebatable.
That's real talk. No ? I said this to like 3 people last week. They agreed. For better or worse this presidency has been a great wake up call those who chose to become complacent for no reason these past 12 years. Some people got way too comfortable with ? seemingly being sweet when there is always work to be done. This ? 's term at least is a great reminder.

You could make a case that more black people were collectivelly striving towards excellence during Bush II's admin than Obama's. For the simple fact that one didn't deal with massive economic turmoil for most of it's tenure. The other did.
Black people been winning and making moves financially long before recent memory. This was in spite of numerous presidential administrations that were as much against them as Trump's. The difference then is that was them with full awareness that the govt is not a friend. It's meant to serve us all or be checked. So this is more subjective opinion than objective fact.
A lot of people had been hoodwinked into trusting govt instead of checking them cause their priorities changed. Distractions became more important. Not just blacks I mean every ? body and that mostly happened during the last administration more than anytime else.

For some time, prior to Trump becoming president, there was/is a group of people that felt like "THE PRESIDENT" was a powerless puppet beholden to the interest of some greater entity that could only be described in detail on a pixelated YouTube documentary.
The Trump presidency has shown that this dude has the strong ability to really massively f*ck sh*t up, and the only reason sh*t hasn't gone full scale catastrophe is because he's a F*cking idiot. If you have that much power to destroy a whole lotta of major sh*t, then you have power.
Imagine if this dude was actually smart an tactical.
The n*ggas being audited ... right. haha / F*ck Camp David, lets go to Mar a lago, and oh, if you want any special
privileges you better book a room in one of his hotels he still profits from. Whoa, a f*ck-up in the white house really shows you how powerful the presidency really is. -
Trump pressed top republicans to end senate russia inqury
President Trump over the summer repeatedly urged senior Senate Republicans, including the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, to end the panel’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, according to a half dozen lawmakers and aides. Mr. Trump’s requests were a highly unusual intervention from a president into a legislative inquiry involving his family and close aides.
Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, the intelligence committee chairman, said in an interview this week that Mr. Trump told him that he was eager to see an investigation that has overshadowed much of the first year of his presidency come to an end.
“It was something along the lines of, ‘I hope you can conclude this as quickly as possible,’” Mr. Burr said. He said he replied to Mr. Trump that “when we have exhausted everybody we need to talk to, we will finish.”
In addition, according to lawmakers and aides, Mr. Trump told Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, and Senator Roy Blunt, Republican of Missouri and a member of the intelligence committee, to end the investigation swiftly. -

Jimmy Kimmel is a Hypocrite. On one of his street scenes he ask a woman to fill and touch the outside of his pants. As she is touching the outside of his pants, he tell her, "maybe you should put your mouth on it." He is a low life Hollywood pretend elite. Zero credibility.

As the deadline to fund the government fast approaches, President Donald Trump has been telling acquaintances that a government shutdown could be good for him, the Washington Post reported Thursday night, citing unnamed people who spoke to the President recently.
Trump has told several people that if the government were to shut down, he would simply blame it on Democrats, according to the Washington Post.
After cutting a deal with Democrats to fund the government and raise the debt limit in September and then suggesting he may work with Democrats to restore the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals protections, Trump has said recently that he wants to cater to his base this time around, according to the Washington Post.
He has told advisers over the past 10 days that he wants to show that he is taking a hard line on immigration by pushing for funding for the border wall, per the Post. He has become concerned that the September deal made him look like a “chump,” an unnamed adviser told the Washington Post.
White House Legislative Affairs Director Marc Short denied Thursday that Trump wants to shut down the government.
“He’s not advocating for a shutdown in any way. We want to make sure our military is funded. We want to make sure our priorities are funded. That’s why we invited [Democrats] over to have a conversation about a deal,” Short told reporters, per the Washington Post.
Trump and congressional leaders face a Dec. 8 deadline to fund the government. Since GOP lawmakers are deep into their effort to cut taxes, House Republican leaders will reportedly introduce legislation to fund the government through Dec. 22 to give them more time to work out a larger deal. -
