    This is all a cover to distract from the fact that Trump wasn't born in the United States either. He was born on the twelfth planet Niburu, and was brought here by his father, Xenu, Dark Overlord of the Galctic Federation. After he and his father were imprisoned for anti-human activities, they escaped and went into the real estate business where they put their inhumanity to use making fortunes as the expense of the earthling population.

    You may be onto something.

    Perhaps what we know as a sociopath isn’t a psychological condition at all.

    They have no feelings or empathy towards others because well, they’re not human.

    The Planet Niburu is as good a guess as any, and may very well be their point of origin.

    What is it about conservatives, and prostitutes?

    Trouble for Trump as Fox News praises 'enormously effective' Biden speech
    Republican pundits accept success of Biden’s convention address as Trump’s bid to portray Democratic rival as radical leftist falls flat
    Iowa: Trump clings to narrow lead as Biden closes in

    Trouble for Trump as Fox News praises 'enormously effective' Biden speech

    excerpts:

    "Under pressure on the last day of the Democratic convention, Joe Biden “hit a home run” with an “enormously effective” speech that blew “a big hole” in Donald Trump’s efforts to paint him as a mentally faltering captive of his party’s left wing.

    And that was to hear Fox News hosts Dana Perino and Chris Wallace tell it.

    “It was a very good speech,” added Karl Rove, a Republican strategist respected and reviled on either side of the aisle.

    Democratic hopes were riding high that when Biden rose to accept the presidential nomination on Thursday night, he might deliver the kind of speech to get voters nodding their heads instead of nodding off, and cable pundits talking about “momentum”."


    "Biden appeared to have won some converts. “Joe wows critics,” the Drudge Report, usually a clearinghouse for the most astringent conservative messaging, exclaimed on Friday morning."

    Trouble for Trump as Fox News praises 'enormously effective' Biden speech

    excerpt:

    "Controversially, Trump plans to accept the nomination on the grounds of the White House on Thursday, in apparent violation of laws requiring that political campaigning be kept separate from the conduct of office.

    The president and vice-president are exempt from the law, but broad party participation in such a major campaign event is inevitable. Trump has invited most Republican lawmakers (though not Senator Mitt Romney, who voted for his impeachment and removal from office) to the White House lawn to watch his speech. The campaign plans to set off fireworks on the National Mall."

    Trump's stance is that it is all a witch hunt against him.



    'Conmen, grifters and criminals': why is Trump's circle so at odds with the law?
    Apart from legal trouble, what Bannon, Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, Stone, Gates and Papadopoulos have in common is the president

    'Conmen, grifters and criminals': why is Trump's circle so at odds with the law?

    excerpt:

    "Depending on how – and whom – you count, Bannon was the seventh former close Trump adviser to be arrested, face charges, plead guilty or to be convicted of a crime since the 45th president took office.

    Former campaign chairman Paul Manafort (convicted: tax fraud, bank fraud) is in home confinement due to Covid-19; former adviser Roger Stone (convicted: obstruction, false statements) received a presidential commutation; former adviser Michael Cohen (guilty plea: campaign finance crimes, lying to Congress) is in home confinement; former national security adviser Michael Flynn (guilty plea: lying to the FBI) is awaiting a ruling on a request to dismiss charges; former adviser Rick Gates (guilty plea: lying to investigators) has completed a prison term; and former adviser George Papadopoulos (guilty plea: lying) has completed a prison term.

    When I see a swarm of conmen around one man, in this case Trump, experience suggests they recognize one of their own

    “I believe it unprecedented in any US administration for so many of the closest circle of persons around the president to have been shown to be conmen, grifters and base criminals,” said Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor who was part of the team that convicted the Gambino family boss John Gotti, in an email."

    Wisconsin used tax breaks and taxpayer subsidies to lure the Taiwanese-based Foxconn to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Trump fully endorsed it.

    To be consistent with his own platform, Trump should have promoted an American company.

    Trump is currently threatening American companies themselves with tariffs if they don't bring jobs home after damaging them via tariffs on other countries that caused retaliatory tariffs on the U.S.

    Similar to his recent call to boycott Goodyear, Trump told consumers to boycott the American company Harley-Davidson (ironically, based in Milwaukee, WI where the Taiwanese Foxconn opened) and threatened it with punitive measures when it said it was considering moving some of its operations overseas to avoid retaliatory tariffs caused by Trump's trade wars.

    Trump (who's supposedly ten steps ahead of everyone) apparently was informed later of his crass mistake, reversed his stance, and vowed to retaliate against the EU for its retaliatory tariffs.

    Trump's trade wars have continued to damage H-D and other U.S. companies, the trade wars that Peter Navarro has recently claimed are so beneficial to American companies.

    Harley-Davidson's profit falls by 19% as the company cuts its outlook for the year thanks to President Trump's trade war

    Harley-Davidson's profit falls by 19% as the company cuts its outlook for the year thanks to President Trump's trade war

    excerpt:

    "Compounding the company's troubles is U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. In retaliation for the tariffs the White House placed on imported steel and aluminum, the European Union increased import duties on U.S.-manufactured Harley bikes to 31% from 6% last June.

    Similarly, China's tariffs on the bikes exported from the U.S. have increased to 55% from 30% as a result of the trade war between the world's two biggest economies.

    The incremental tariffs cost the company $34.4 million in the June quarter, contributing to a 12.5% plunge in retail sales in Europe."

    Trump supporters are getting real desperate. They just posted picture of Cory Booker and Kamala Harris without face masks. The only thing the did not mention is the photos were taken back during the first of March, not during the DNC convention. Like I said, Trump supporters are desperate.

    Trump is so clueless that he didn't anticipate retaliatory tariffs when he started his trade war and claimed they would be easy to win.

    The Taiwanese Foxconn in WI hasn't yet turned out to be what it was promoted to be by Trump and the former Wisconsin governor, Scott Walker, who lost in the 2018 midterm elections.



    Residents in Wisconsin still waiting for President Trump's 'blue-collar boom'
    The controversial Foxconn project was supposed to generate 13,000 manufacturing jobs, but three years later, residents are not sure if the jobs will come.
