WOW! and all I did after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 was buy a case of beer, got drunk, and moved on.
Trump is planning a rally in Texas during the summer in 2021. He still owes El Paso about a half million dollars for his rally in 2019. El Paso judge says Trump should pay debt from campaign rally during border visit by: Aaron Montes, Shelby Kapp, Nexstar Media Wire Posted: Jun 17, 2021 / 07:09 AM EDT Updated: Jun 17, 2021 / 07:09 AM EDT El Paso judge says Trump should pay debt from campaign rally during border visit | WFLA excerpt: "EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – The campaign to re-elect Donald Trump for President in 2019 still owes a debt to the city of El Paso – the bill is $560,000. As the former president and Texas Governor Greg Abbott ponder a location to visit along the U.S. Mexico border, El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego proposes Trump come with a check. “That he (Abbott) helps us collect the $560,000 that Trump owes from when he was here on his campaign that would be really nice if that’s one of the things that we get,” Samaniego said. “That we have been trying to reach out to get the $560,000 from when he had his campaign here.”"
El Paso may be foolish enough to host another rally for Trump in 2021. Trump's wants to do a rally in TX along the border wall. El Paso is an ideal location considering it borders Mexico and NM.
WATCH: Trump defends rhetoric as he visits Dayton, El Paso after shootings Politics Aug 7, 2019 12:57 PM EDT WATCH: Trump defends rhetoric as he visits Dayton, El Paso after shootings excerpt: "DAYTON, Ohio — President Donald Trump defended his rhetoric Wednesday as he headed out to offer a message of healing and unity in El Paso and Dayton, where he was to be met by unusual hostility from people who fault his own incendiary words as contributing to last weekend’s mass shootings. The mayors of both cities were calling for Trump to change the way he talks about immigrants. Multiple protests were planned. And Democratic presidential candidates continued to criticize him, including former Rep. Beto O’Rourke, who will address a counter-rally in his hometown of El Paso during the president’s visit. As he left the White House, Trump defended his rhetoric while strongly criticizing those who say he bears some responsibility for the nation’s divisions, returning to political arguing even as he called for unity."
Trump used the shootings in Dayton and El Paso to try to score political points for himself by praising the police for responding to the shootings that his rhetoric helped spawn. WATCH: Trump defends rhetoric as he visits Dayton, El Paso after shootings excerpt: "Trump traveled to Ohio, before heading to Texas. White House officials have said the visits would be similar to those he’s paid to grieving communities in the past, with the Republican president and the first lady saluting first responders and spending time with mourning families and survivors. “We’ll be meeting with first responders, law enforcement and some of the victims and paying my respects and regards,” Trump said Wednesday morning. “It’s a terrific opportunity, really, to congratulate some of the police and law enforcement. The job they’ve done was incredible. Really incredible”"
It's similar to the cartoon of Trump handing the farmer a tire pump after he stabbed his tractor with the farmer's own pitchfork and said, "I'm here to help!"
... and making remarks during the cleanup that the gloves were too small for his hands, implying that (in his mind) he really does have big hands.
Like the shootings in El Paso and Dayton that Trump's rhetoric helped spawned and that he used to pat himself on the back by praising law enforcement for their response to the shootings, leave it to Trump to use a terrible natural disaster to try to rebut the fact that his hands are small (measurements of life size prints of his hands show that only 15% of the population has hands as small as his for his height).
The Supreme Court has upheld Obamacare and the House & Senate have made Juneteenth a national holiday! Hmmm. Makes me optimistic that Trump is losing his grip!
ACA survives third Supreme Court challenge. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...800dce-cf6f-11eb-8cd2-4e95230cfac2_story.html excerpt: "The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act, saying Republican-led states do not have the legal standing to try to upend the law. Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote the court’s 7-to-2 decision, which preserves the law that provides millions of Americans with health coverage. Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch dissented. The decision meant the attempt to derail President Barack Obama’s landmark domestic achievement met the fate of previous legal challenges, in 2012 and 2015. The key issue this time was whether a 2017 decision by Congress to remove the penalty for not buying health insurance — the so-called individual mandate — meant that the law was unconstitutional and should be wiped from the books."
