no matter how much of a dodo head he may be when it comes to buziness stratigy, no matter how much he's a one tactic pony, that every time he fears people might be looking too deeply and actually noticing anything, he pulls another bright shiny outrage to provide distraction, its a mistake to assume he has no agenda. trump has an agenda, consistent with everything he has done and is doing, and that agenda is to destroy america, and to destroy democracy as a political system, anywhere on planet earth.
Trump is meddling in the McCloskey case. Trump is leveling his typical accusations, like he did for Roger Stone, that someone is being treated unfairly by the justice system and that it's a disgrace. Trump ‘Getting Involved’ in Case Against Viral Gun-Toting St. Louis Couple, Says Governor Jamie Ross, Reporter Updated Jul. 15, 2020 7:15AM ET Published Jul. 15, 2020 7:12AM ET Trump ‘Getting Involved’ in Case Against Viral Gun-Toting St. Louis Couple, Says Governor excerpt: "President Trump will be “getting involved” in the case against a white St. Louis couple who went viral after a photograph showed them pointing guns at a group of Black Lives Matter demonstrators passing outside their mansion last month, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said late Tuesday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey are under review for criminal charges and St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden confirmed Tuesday that he’s applied for unspecified warrants related to the case. Meanwhile, CNN reports St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has said Trump and Parson “came after her” for investigating the case and are “spreading misinformation and distorting the truth.” Parson, a Republican, said he’s spoken with Trump about the case and the president “doesn’t like what he sees and the way these people are being treated.” Parson said Attorney General Bill Barr “was represented on the call,” and that he thinks the president and Barr “are going to take a look” at the McCloskey case. In an interview clip posted by Townhall on Tuesday, Trump defended the McCloskeys, saying: “I understand somebody local, they want to prosecute these people. It’s a disgrace.”"
In March, Trump made a similar murky claim that Obama enacted regulations that supposedly hampered Trump's ability to respond to the coronavirus. Trump hasn't specified which regulations. Trump’s Misplaced Blame on Obama for Coronavirus Tests By Jessica McDonald Posted on March 6, 2020 Trump’s Misplaced Blame on Obama for Coronavirus Tests excerpt: "It’s not clear what regulation Trump and Redfield have in mind, and neither the White House, FDA, nor the CDC responded to requests for more information. But experts told us that no such “rule” was implemented under Obama. “It’s not true,” said Rachel Sachs, a Washington University in St. Louis law professor, of Trump’s claim in a phone interview. The Obama administration did attempt to impose a risk-based system of regulation on laboratory developed tests, or LDTs, and introduced draft guidance in 2014. But that guidance was never finalized, and was withdrawn after Trump won the election in 2016. “It never went into effect,” she said, “so it’s not an issue to walk back.” Citing the withdrawn guidance document, Jeffrey Gibbs of the firm Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, who is an expert on FDA law, also told us that the president’s claim was “not accurate.” Erika Lietzan of the University of Missouri School of Law said it was possible Trump and Redfield were thinking of a de facto FDA policy that applies to lab developed tests in emergency situations, such as an outbreak, in which an emergency use authorization, or EUA, is involved. To Lietzan, that appears to be most relevant to the new policy the Trump FDA announced on Feb. 29, and which administration officials trumpeted in the briefing. The new policy states that because of the current coronavirus outbreak, the FDA would allow labs to create and use their own in-house tests immediately, without FDA review, as long as they completed an EUA request within 15 days. But in this case as well, there is no formal document that Trump needed to rescind to allow labs to create their own coronavirus tests."

Trump’s DOJ executes a white supremacist Still wanna say he supports white supremacy? Lol Statement by Attorney General William P. Barr on the Execution of Daniel Lewis Lee
That's Cincinnati for you! If the students are required by law to go back, they'd be truant if the parents didn't send them back, whether they want to or not.
You're surprised he didn't get a pardon or commutation? Doing that in an election year would be bad politics, even for Trump. The guy was convicted of killing a couple and their eight year-old daughter.
Yes, I do. 1) trump didn't know who this guy was. 2) he was executed for killing a family, not for being a white supremacist.
And Trump knows well his voter base is for the most part white evangelical supremacists who hate all other Americans whether AfriCANS, MexiCANS, MorocCANS, any kind of CANS.
The governor of Oklahoma has tested positive for the coronavirus. His reopening policies have been aggressive. Oklahoma’s governor says he has tested positive for COVID-19 By SEAN MURPHY July 15, 2020 Oklahoma's governor says he has tested positive for COVID-19 excerpt: "OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt announced Wednesday that he’s the first governor in the United States to test positive for the coronavirus and that he is isolating at home. Stitt, 48, said he mostly feels fine, although he started feeling “a little achy” on Tuesday and sought a test. He said his wife and children were also tested Tuesday and that none of them has tested positive. Stitt has backed one of the country’s most aggressive reopening plans, resisted any statewide mandate on masks and rarely wears one himself. “We respect people’s rights ... to not wear a mask,” Stitt said during Wednesday’s news conference, which was held virtually. “You just open up a big can of worms.” Stitt attended President Donald Trump’s rally in Tulsa last month, which health experts have said likely contributed to a surge in coronavirus cases there."
Tell me about it. Another maskless Republican. I saw him at the Trump rally in Tulsa. Wonder if he caught it there.
Trump wonders why people are suspicious of him. Trump Administration Strips C.D.C. of Control of Coronavirus Data Hospitals have been ordered to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all patient information to a central database in Washington, raising questions about transparency. By Sheryl Gay Stolberg July 14, 2020 Trump Administration Strips C.D.C. of Control of Coronavirus Data excerpt: "Officials say the change will streamline data gathering and assist the White House coronavirus task force in allocating scarce supplies like personal protective gear and remdesivir, the first drug shown to be effective against the virus. But the Health and Human Services database that will receive new information is not open to the public, which could affect the work of scores of researchers, modelers and health officials who rely on C.D.C. data to make projections and crucial decisions. “Historically, C.D.C. has been the place where public health data has been sent, and this raises questions about not just access for researchers but access for reporters, access for the public to try to better understand what is happening with the outbreak," said Jen Kates, the director of global health and H.I.V. policy with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation."
Stitt is the first governor in the U.S. to test positive for the coronavirus. Oklahoma governor tests positive for coronavirus after hosting Trump rally Kevin Stitt says that he is certain he didn’t contract the virus at the Tulsa event. By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 07/15/2020 12:56 PM EDT Updated: 07/15/2020 01:15 PM EDT Oklahoma governor tests positive for coronavirus after hosting Trump rally excerpt: "Just last week, Tulsa’s top health official asserted that Trump’s rally “more than likely” contributed to a surge in virus cases there. In March, Stitt had come under fire for tweeting a photo of his family dining in a “packed” restaurant, eventually deleting it, and then declaring a state of emergency a day later. On Wednesday he reiterated that Oklahoma will continue to move forward with reopening “in a very cautious manner” and that residents would need to adjust to “the new normal” while the virus rages. "
