Everyone knows that Donald Trump will try to blame Democrats if he shuts down the U.S. government. But Democratic leaders in Congress are having none of it.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer issued a joint statement Monday letting the world know the truth. They wrote:
Donald Trump’s buddy Vladimir Putin is not helping him out very much these days. Over the weekend the Russian president pointed out that Trump canceled their G-20 meeting due to his worsening “domestic” scandals. Trump had claimed that he cancelled the meeting because of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, which is clearly not true.
Lawmakers in the Ukraine on Monday are considering a request from their president for the introduction of martial law in the country. The request came after a disturbing incident in which Russian coast guard ships fired their weapons at Ukrainian navy vessels.
The evidence is now clear that Donald Trump has lost whatever mental capacities he had. It is no longer correct to say he is “losing it” because he has already “lost it.”
The evidence came out when he told reporters that he has already shut down the border with Mexico. He also said that he signed an order closing the border.
President Donald Trump made a bold prediction on Saturday morning. He said that Rep. Nancy Pelosi, leader of the House Democrats, would once again be elected as Speaker of the House. According to Trump, Pelosi “deserves” the position of Speaker.
The walls are closing in on President Donald Trump, and he knows it.
Increasingly he is acting like a desperate man facing difficult situations that he can’t win.
And according to The Los Angles Times, life for his staffers inside the White House is growing intolerable. They said that the president’s closest aides are all “avoiding” Trump and his “furious” behavior.
Frank Figliuzzi, the former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said he thinks special counsel Robert Mueller is “ready to indict some folks.”
Figliuzzi, who worked with Mueller at the FBI, said he believes Mueller is soon going to make public more of his findings from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Former President Obama accused President Trump of engaging in a “political stunt” by threatening to send troops to the Mexican border to prevent an “invasion” by a migrant caravan of Central American refugees.
A heckler interrupted Obama who was campaigning for Democrats in Florida, so the former president responded by the destroyed the mentality and anger incited by Trump.
Two days after people walked out on Trump while he was still talking, Obama came to Florida and drew a crowd of 4,000 who waited for hours to hear him speak.
Trump on Friday accused Twitter Inc of targeting his account on the social media network but did not offer any evidence, and suggested that the company's actions could be a sign of bias.
Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) said that instead of bringing the country together as a bomber was on the loose, Trump chose to scapegoat the media.
Recent polls show that Democrat Andrew Gillum has maintained a lead over Trump-endorsed rival Ron DeSantis in the race to become Florida’s next governor. As a result, President Donald Trump and his aides in the White House are getting very, very worried.
President Trump tweeted Thursday that the “mainstream media” is to blame for the anger and incivility in the country’s political discourse.
As his words were posted on social media, packages sent by a likely serial bomber continued to target Trump’s critics.
After years of politically violent rhetoric that appears to have inspired the bombs that have been sent to Democrats and CNN, Trump now wants national unity.
Even though Congress is not session, Trump promised a new middle-class tax cut before the midterm election to which Republicans in Congress said no.
A combination of the overturning of the Republican gerrymander and Trump’s unpopularity could flip up to 4 House seats to Democrats in North Carolina.
The Princeton Election Consortium found some interesting data in North Carolina:
The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender by genitalia, which would eliminate civil rights protections for transgendered persons.
Democratic Texas Senate candidate Rep. Beto O'Rourke had the perfect answer to Trump's trolling and shut the president down in less than half a minute.
The Russians used Donald Trump's talking points on Robert Mueller as part of their effort to interfere in the 2018 midterm election.
