    That's the type of photo Trump would hang at the White House and at his resorts to mislead people and feed his insatiable narcissism, like he did with the fake Time magazine with his face on the cover that he posted at his resorts.

    Or he could just hang a photo up on his wall of him standing in the infield with 200,000 people in the stands. That would look better. =]

    Trump's narcissism is contagious.

    Senior Trump administration official Mina Chang resigned from her job at the State Department in November 2019 after embellishing her resume and portraying a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it.

    Chang was complimented on the air by a TV host about her (fake) Time cover and she didn't say that it was fake.

    Chang was the deputy assistant secretary for the Bureau of Conflict and Stability Operations in the State Department.

    After the purging Trump has done at the State Department, expect more people of the Mina Chang variety.

    Trump has even brought back McEntee to hire and fire people in his administration as head of the Presidential Personnel Office. That's the same McEntee who was kicked out of the White House by the Secret Service due to failing security clearance qualifications. The day after the ejection, Trump made him a senior advisor for his reelection campaign operation.

    Yet more lies exposed !!!

    Trump’s 29th Trip To Mar-a-Lago Brings Golf Tab To 334 Years Of Presidential Salary
    The president often brags about not taking a paycheck, but his golf hobby has now cost taxpayers $133.8 million.

    President Donald Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago on Friday evening for the 29th golf-related trip of his presidency to his for-profit Palm Beach, Florida, resort, raising his total taxpayer golf tab to $133.8 million (£102M).


    That figure translates to 334 years of the presidential salary that Trump and his supporters frequently boast he is not taking.

    During Barack Obama’s presidency, Trump frequently claimed he was playing golf too much and at too great an expense to taxpayers.

    “I play golf to relax. My company is in great shape. @BarackObama plays golf to escape work while America goes down the drain,” Trump tweeted in December 2011.

    “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the US, President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter,” he wrote three years later.

    As he began his own run for the White House, candidate Trump repeatedly promised that golf would never make it onto a President Trump’s schedule. “I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” he told a rally audience in February 2016, referring to his courses in Scotland and Miami. “I don’t ever think I’d see anything. I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.”

    Yet after three years in office, Trump has spent two-and-a-half times as many days on a golf course as Obama had done at the same point in his first term. If Trump plays golf both Saturday and Sunday, he will have played 248 times. Obama by his 1,123rd day in office had played 92 times.

    President Donald Trump departs from the White House for a weekend trip to Mar-a-Lago on Jan. 31, 2020.
    And because Trump insists on playing at courses he owns, the cost to taxpayers has been nearly four times as high as it was for Obama. More than two-thirds of Trump’s golf outings involve seven-figure trips aboard Air Force One, mainly to Florida and New Jersey, but also to Los Angeles, Ireland and Scotland. Obama, in contrast, played most of his golf on courses at military bases within a short drive of the White House.

    What’s more, Trump’s insistence on playing at courses he owns and profits from has put at least a few million taxpayer dollars into Trump’s cash registers in the form of hotel room and restaurant charges for the White House staff and Secret Service agents who accompany him.

    The Washington Post found recently that Trump’s business has charged the Secret Service as much as $650 a room per night at Mar-a-Lago ― more than three times the normal rate that federal employees are supposed to spend in South Florida ― and $17,000 a month for a cottage at Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey, resort. During an early Mar-a-Lago visit, White House employees ran up a $1,006 bar tab, which taxpayers also paid.

    How many taxpayer dollars precisely are flowing into Trump’s pocket is not known because the White House refuses to detail how many executive branch employees stay at Trump properties and how much they are being billed. The White House on Friday did not respond to HuffPost’s queries on the matter for this weekend’s trip.

    The president is the sole beneficiary of the trust that now owns his family business. He promised during his campaign that he would separate himself from the Trump Organisation should he win, but reneged on that pledge even before taking office.

    Trump similarly promised he would release his tax returns when he ran for president, but he has refused to do that as well.

    The latest head-to-head poll with Bernie Sanders has Sanders ahead 50% to 43% over Trump.

    Trump’s base is firm (i.e, fanatical) but he just can’t make any headway

    Trump's 2020 campaign slogan is Promises Kept.

    That puts us back to the notion that the sole purpose of a college education is to make money. It has nothing to do with an educated, well informed electorate.

    Standard undergraduate course is around 20 to 24 subjects over 3 years, vast majority of which is geared to the lowest common denominator so the institution doesn't get a bad fail rate

    If none of those subjects are economics, finance, business.....but then later on they are voting primarily on the economy, taxes, employment rates. Those unrelated 24 subjects are of little use in terms of voting.

    It's usually people that did the basic arts degree that say things like "personal enrichment" as a reason they attended, or others attended.

    Then on top of that, the internet changed everything. There arent that many concepts in all fields that are truly too hard to comprehend without the help of a lecturer

    I don't think we have many here that actually went to University, you can tell, think lode and guerillabeam are the only other ones that have done a stem related degree, and it would be mainly male who preventing them from admitting it's all to specialised for anyone to know everything

    I don't see how anyone can go to Uni and not see 80% of the students shouldn't even be there apart from the simple fact many employers just need a degree from a candidate to fill a position, 80% of your professors/ lecturers are as dumb as fuck and are there because they can't get better paying jobs in the private sector

    Emphasis on tertiary education is overrated, they have little preparedness for the workforce when they do enter it

    Well, how did he get to NASCAR? Hot air balloon? Campaign manager just Googles air force One NASCAR, pulls that off the web, so what?

    Is that how ridiculous pendantic Trump bashing is getting nowadays

    ....because Mueller didn't get any where, Impeachment went nowhere, and the pornstars lawyer got sent to jail for trying to blackmail Nike
     
  14. It's not surprising that "people" who are super into NASCAR are also super into Trump. Does it really matter if Trump tweets out a genuine photo of their event to them? Not to them it doesn't. Sometimes you've just got to let the kids play with the dog turds in the sandbox.

    If you think professors are dumb, you should relocate to a new homeless shelter

    If you watched the pre race entertainment you would see the plane fly in and then all the limos and such came into the track and drove into pit lane.

    That's not a dog turd. That's a cat turd. Dogs turd on the grass, and cats in the sand box. Unless you have a Republican Alternative White Nationalist dog?
