 Countdown 100 days to the election TRUMP’S REALITY False claims are the hallmark of the Trump administration. These claims are meant to provide reassurance to a gullible audience and show that all is alright in Trump world. These boasts are easily rebuked by anyone with Siri and the Internet.  Hidden between the virus disinformation and the disinformation on the health of the economy and the Black Lives Matter protests, Trump has managed to slip in lies about localized industries. These…

The actions included the reliance on the medical experts for information and how essential it is for them lay out the necessary procedures required to suppress the virus.  Until now, Donald Trump has done everything he could to spread the virus. He downplayed the virus and thus the states and the federal government did not brace for the up-coming pandemic….

TRUMP CREATING CHAOS Chaos is complete disorder and confusion. Trump organized and deployed untrained, camouflage dressed and unnamed armed hodge-podge of officers.

The officers confronted and engaged the peaceful demonstrators with force and tear gas and stun grenades, and rubber bullets.  Chad Wolf, the current acting head of the Homeland Security department, has not been…

THE VIRUS BRIEFING BY THE LONE RANGER Trump admittedthey never really had a plan. The plan is perpetually in process. In Trump’s Coronavirus briefing he said, “we are (uh) in the process of developing a strategy that’s going to be very, very powerful we develop(um) as we go along.” There were no health officials present and the briefing only lasted 30 minutes, with the usual stretching the truth. He did manage to say that the Covid-19 virus will get worse…

TRUMP’S SOURCE DATA Dr. Deborah Brix has relied on a University of Washington model for the projections of the Covid-19 virus. The projections for May and June had very little indication of a second wave and this information floated within the White House, which explains the President’s attitude in re-opening. That was then, but now things have changed.  With the re-openings prior to being fully compliant to the CDC guidelines, created a very different scenario and UW has changed its…

TRUMP THE RACIST Trump is actively attempting to nullify the Americans for Federal Fair Housing Act (AFFH). In a Tweet on June 30th 2020 he said,  “At the request of many great Americans who live in the Suburbs and others, I am studying the AFFH housing regulation that is having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas. Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE not fair to homeowners”.  This act was signed into law in 1968….

LOW HANGING FRUIT – HOW TRUMP WINS Base + single issue voters including; racists, anti-immigration activists(aka racists), right to life, farm subsidy recipients and stock market watchers. Other types that Trump is wooing; low income working class (PPP dollars giving 1/3rd of the unemployed more dollars than when they were working).

A TALKING STONE If rocks could talk Roger Stone could sing like a jaybird. The scenario goes like this, Stone’s clemency declaration by Trump allows him to still claim his 5th amendment rights and this will stand, however, there is a way to make him sing or go to jail.  Roger Stone was convicted of 9 felony counts, among which are witness tampering, lying to congress and lying to the Muller investigation, all to hide his relationship with Julian Assange,…

PROBLEMS WITHOUT ASSISTANCE Ivanka Trump, daughter of and senior advisor to Donald Trump, is now on a campaign to prepare for the new economy. This is the first indication the White House has recognized the employment debacle as a result of Covid-19. With the recognition that the service economy may take years to recover, a new approach was to throw a slogan campaign into the ether. The rollout of “Find Something New” to respond to the new normal requiring potential…
