Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

[Tom Scully]

Great, another guy who wants to sell a book....

Otto, if you sincerely are impressed with Hanson's "scholarship" and his opinion of Trump, considering the death tolls resulting from Bush's Iraq war and Trump's "procurement" of the office of POTUS, especially his deliberate sabotage of Public Health management and response to pandemic threat and damage, please pursue immediately, mental and emotional health evaluation.

In 2015, Trump vehemently objected to neocons. Trump is as "authentic" as Trump University and Trump Foundation, and the "alternative facts" he plagues all of us with.*

Victor Davis Hanson
...Political views
Hanson is a conservative who voted for George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 elections.[16] He defended George W. Bush and his policies,[17] especially the Iraq War.[18] He vocally supported Bush's Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, describing him as "a rare sort of secretary of the caliber of George Marshall" and a "proud and honest-speaking visionary" whose "hard work and insight are bringing us ever closer to victory".[19]

Hanson is a supporter of Donald Trump, authoring a 2019 book The Case for Trump.[20] Trump praised the book.[20] In the book, Hanson defends Trump's insults and incendiary language as "uncouth authenticity", and praises Trump for "an uncanny ability to troll and create hysteria among his media and political critics."[20] According to Washington Post book critic Carlos Lozada, the book "focuses less on the case for Trump than on the case against everyone else," in particular attacking Hillary Clinton.[20] According to Lozada, Hanson indulges "in casual sexism, criticizing Clinton’s “shrill” voice and her “signature off-putting laugh,” and inexplicably suggesting that while “Trump’s bulk fueled a monstrous energy; Hillary’s girth sapped her strength.”"[20] Hanson praises the Trump administration for its "inspired" and "impressive" Cabinet members.[20] In the book, Hanson blamed Barack Obama for "deliberately [whipping up]" "much of the current division in the country", while ignoring Trump's birtherism or attacks on Muslims.[20] The book likens Trump to a hero of ancient literature, sacrificing himself for the greater good.[20] Hanson expressed support for Trump's proposed border wall on the Southern border, saying that walls around houses deter criminals.[20]...

Victor Davis Hanson on “The Case For Trump”

[Colin Crow]

"If you want to find out what a man is to the bottom, give him power. Any man can stand adversity — only a great man can stand prosperity. It is the glory of Abraham Lincoln that he never abused power only on the side of mercy. He was a perfectly honest man. When he had power, he used it in mercy …”

Trump blasts Birx after she warns coronavirus pandemic is 'extraordinarily widespread'

Max Cohen

President Donald Trump on Monday slammed White House coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx after the public health official said the pandemic was “extraordinarily widespread.”

Trump’s attack comes shortly after top White House officials admonished House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for undermining trust in Birx.

“So Crazy Nancy Pelosi said horrible things about Dr. Deborah Birx, going after her because she was too positive on the very good job we are doing on combatting the China Virus, including Vaccines & Therapeutics,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!”

POLITICO reported last week that Pelosi tore into Birx in closed-door negotiations with administration officials, saying the White House was in “horrible hands” with the public health expert leading the coronavirus taskforce. Pelosi continued her criticism of Birx on Sunday during an appearance on ABC.


Past reporting by The New York Times presented Birx as a coronavirus optimist who told Trump that the United States was on its way to flattening its curve like Italy and that outbreaks were easing.

Yet on Sunday, Birx struck a more somber tone when she said the pandemic was entering a new, dangerous phase.

"What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread," Birx told CNN, adding that the pandemic was affecting both urban and rural areas.

Trump’s public attack on Birx was at odds with recent messaging from his top spokespeople, who fiercely defended Birx days ago following Pelosi’s criticism.

“It is deeply irresponsible of Speaker Pelosi to repeatedly try to undermine & create public distrust in Dr Birx, the top public health professional on the coronavirus task force,” White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farah wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “It’s also just wrong. Period. Hard stop.”

“Dr. Birx is one of the smartest, honest, most talented professionals I’ve ever worked with. The baseless, political attacks against her and her long record of saving lives and protecting public health are disgusting and shameful,” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

And following The New York Times article that featured Birx’s role in the White House, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany ended her July 21 press briefing with a strong backing of the doctor.

“Dr. Birx is an extraordinary doctor who’s served this country, dedicated her time to serving our country as an Army colonel,” McEnany said. “And it is appalling the attack that I saw on her in the New York Times, based on no facts.”

Note to anyone promoting this psycho, who takes my "nudging" to pursue a mental and emotional health evaluation, personally.... just go do it!

He's bloviating now, as I post this. It's as if he's a just arrived alien life form... Earlier today, he claimed he could extend enhanced unemployment benefits by executive order... why do we need a congress, anymore? Carnival barker can juggle it all, "nobody's ever seen anything like it.... tremendous! Blah, blah blah....

"Witch hunt,..... blah, blah...."

"Great respect for Dr. Birx, I think Nancy Pelosi has treated her very badly, nasty...." Deflects, changes the subject, word salad.....blah blah blah... It's China's fault.... claims he can suspend payroll taxes by executive order.... Thousands and thousands of MS-13 sent back.... we're only looking to help cities..."
Demonizes mail in voting, "it's a disgrace!" "This is something that is so messed up..... I don't think the Post Office is prepared for this ...they have very old equipment....loses a fortune....Amazon ripping them off....We'll be taking legal action against Nevada"

"I do want to say we're going to introduce a health care plan, very impressive to many people, probably by the end of the month....blah, blah."

As he did just before the 2018 election, Trump is making panicked, "unicorn in every garage" level promises....a sudden, dangling a magical health care insurance plan!

Trump’s fake tax cuts are dead
The midterms are over, and so are Republicans’ phantom middle-class tax cuts.

By Emily Stewartemily.stewart@vox.com  Nov 15, 2018, 4:50pm EST

.........Trump raised eyebrows in October when he suddenly began to talk about a 10 percent tax cut for the middle class that would be passed ahead of the midterms. He told reporters in Nevada that he was working on a “very major tax cut for middle-income people” and that the White House and congressional leaders were “studying very deeply, round the clock” on something to be announced very soon — certainly ahead of the elections.

No one seemed to have any idea what he was talking about: There was no discernible plan in the works, and his aides reportedly had no idea what was going on. Congress wasn’t even in session. (When a reporter pointed it out to Trump, he said the vote would be after the election, but the proposal would be released beforehand.)

Trump now promises a Republican health-care bill in [checks notes] 2021

On the campaign trail in 2016, Donald Trump was explicit about the urgency with which the Affordable Care Act would be repealed.

“On Day One,” he said on March 3 of that year. “On my first day,” he said every day from Sept. 12 to 16. “On my first day,” he said on Sept. 21 and 22. “On my first day,” he said on Oct. 4. “First day in office,” he said on Oct. 25. Each time, the pledge was essentially the same: He would demand that Congress lay on his desk a proposal to repeal President Barack Obama’s health-care law and offer a replacement.[/size]

Then something unexpected happened. He won the election....[/size]

Prosecutor Seeking Trump's Taxes Cites Probe of His Business
By The Associated Press
Aug. 3, 2020 Updated 2:48 p.m. ET

...In a court filing Monday, though, attorneys for Vance said Trump's arguments that the subpoena was too broad stemmed from “the false premise” that the probe was limited to so-called “hush-money” payments.

“This Court is already aware that this assertion is fatally undermined by undisputed information in the public record,” Vance’s lawyers wrote. They said that information confirms the validity of a subpoena seeking evidence related to potentially improper financial transactions by a variety of individuals and entities over a period of years.

They said public reporting demonstrates that at the time the subpoena was issued “there were public allegations of possible criminal activity at Plaintiff’s New York County-based Trump Organization dating back over a decade.”

“These reports describe transactions involving individual and corporate actors based in New York County, but whose conduct at times extended beyond New York’s borders. This possible criminal activity occurred within the applicable statutes of limitations, particularly if the transactions involved a continuing pattern of conduct,” the lawyers said.....
