This is what happens when you’re incapable of any type of human emotion other than greed, vanity and hate.




The cynic in me can't help but notice that after Muslims in NZ were attacked, he did not offer condolences to Muslims in NZ.

Or the victims.

Or their families.


Trying hard to believe it was just an oversight.

Trump knows that if he directly denounces islamophobia, he loses a lot of his fanbase. Hes not stupid.

Trump issued (not his words I bet), the mildest of public comments about the NZ slaughter, contrast that to his public comments about Islamist terrorism.

Of course not. Trump and the Republican Party fan the flames of rhetoric that are responsible for this. There’s no way they’re capable of showing the slightest modicum of genuine compassion. Just goes to show you the rhetoric is explicitly anti Islam not anti terrorist.

American farmer on trade war: 'We're not seeing an end'

Image

A meeting between President Trump and President Xi Jinping to sign a trade deal has been delayed until at least April.

In the meantime, farmers are still fighting to offset the effects of the tensions (and tariffs) between the U.S. and China. Mark Watne, president of the North Dakota Farmers Union, detailed these struggles.

Among members of his union, “their largest concern comes with the fact that their farm income is off about 50% from probably five, six years ago,” Watne told Yahoo Finance’s First Trade. “We’re not seeing an end to the trade war, and we’re questioning what a so-called win will look like.”

President Trump has made it clear that he’s “in no rush” to get the results he wants.

While this trade stalemate has been occurring, farmers have suffered major economic setbacks. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that American farmers are filing for bankruptcy “at levels not seen for at least a decade.” Though the trade war is not the only factor, it’s had a significant role.

“We’re seeing bankruptcies up by 98%, and farmers are trying to get their operating money put together this spring, and it’s going to be really hard,” Watne said.

I guarantee these idiots are going to vote for Trump again. Just proves this is nothing about economic anxiety.

One unexpected good consequence of the trade war -
In the billions going to farmers from the US treasury to make up for losses, is money USDA is spending to buy products farmers can't sell. USDA then distributes to food banks throughout the country.

Yeah. I don't think his lack of cooperation has anything to do with loyalty to Trump.....

so you 2 are dumb enough to beleive that a 70 year old man sat in solitary confinement for 10 months just to save trump?? really? you're that dumb?

I dunno...maybe the fact is that trump did not collude nor conspire to collude with russians? Maybe its time you fools face your folly? The dossier itself was pizzagate level hoax. yet mccain, the Obama FBI and the liberal media circulated it as truth in order to surveil the trump campaign. At this point there is no other way to look at it other than this was the insurance policy in case Trump won in order to unseat a duly elected president of the united states.

Read on Twitter


per report: the FBI then briefed obama. its only logical that Obama then ordered Lynch to order the FBI to surveil Trump via a FISA warrant on carter page.

Nate and I have been telling you guys about this for 2 years and 3 months!!!!

Read on Twitter


This FISA 1 allowed the FBI to surveil the entire trump campaign and go back 3-6 months into the "metadata of texts and phone call of all trump campaign official and all their associates. and still no damn collusion!!!!




its important to note that Trumps support is the same today if not stronger than on election day. Russian trolls on facebook with stupid bot posts is NOT why Trump was elected. He was elected to fix the economy. Fix trade deals. Fix immigration. improve wages. bring back manufacturing. increase GDP. and rebuild the military. and repeal obamacare. check. check. check. check. check. and check!

no president haver ever been scrutinized like trump. vetted like trump. leaked on like trump. and the entire congress was almost entirely against him for at least 6 months of his presidency. It was a flat out attempted coup. And Obama was in on it!!!! He had to be in on it!!! Their is NO EFFING way comey would surveil a sitting US president on his own. No effing way!!!! Too much to lose...namely his wealth and liberty...and comey knew the dossier salacious and unverfied going back to November 2016. No way he'd risk his career like that. This came from Obama and lynch!!!
