  5. The true character of a person will always be revealed when they are faced with a crisis or adversity. And the eternal question will always be, when it truly mattered, did they do the right thing?  So far, Trump has failed. And Trump has never failed to fail, because failing has always been the easiest thing for him to do. When Ebola broke out in West Africa in 2014, President Obama recognized that responding to the outbreak overseas, while also protecting Americans at home, involved multiple U.S. government departments and agencies, none of which were speaking to one another. So to bring order and harmony to the chaos, he create a coherent multiagency response overseas and on the homefront. Building on the Ebola experience, President Obama set up a permanent epidemic monitoring and command group inside the White House National Security Council, and another in the Department of Homeland Security—both of which followed the scientific and public health leads of the National Institutes of Health, and the CDC, and the diplomatic advice of the State Department. But that’s all gone now. In May 2018, Trump ordered the NSC’s entire global health security unit shut down. This was the directorate charged with preparing for when, not if, another pandemic would hit the nation. Trump’s elimination of the office suggested, along with his proposed budget cuts for the CDC, that he did not see or comprehend the threat of pandemics. Trump said that COVID-19  “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world.”  His comments left scientists, doctors, and national security experts in a state of shock. Because experts had been warning about the next pandemic for years. “One year later I was mystified when the White House dissolved the office, leaving the country less prepared for pandemics like COVID-19,” Beth Cameron, the first director of the unit, wrote in an op-ed. She said the directorate was set up to be the “smoke alarm” and get ahead of emergencies and sound a warning at the earliest sign of fire — “all with the goal of avoiding a six-alarm fire.” In the spring of 2018, Trump pushed Congress to cut funding for Obama-era disease security programs, reducing $15 billion in national health spending and cutting the global disease-fighting operational budgets of the CDC, NSC, DHS, and HHS. And the government’s $30 million Complex Crises Fund was eliminated..

  7. Dr. Fiona Hill testimony before the House Intel committee. "Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country—and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves. The unfortunate truth is that Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016. This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan Congressional reports. It is beyond dispute, even if some of the underlying details must remain classified. The impact of the successful 2016 Russian campaign remains evident today. Our nation is being torn apart. Truth is questioned. Our highly professional and expert career foreign service is being undermined. Right now, Russia’s security services and their proxies have geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 election. We are running out of time to stop them. In the course of this investigation, I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests. Ukraine is a valued partner of the United States, and it plays an important role in our national security. And as I told this Committee last month, I refuse to be part of an effort to legitimize an alternate narrative that the Ukrainian government is a U.S. adversary, and that Ukraine—not Russia—attacked us in 2016. These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes. President Putin and the Russian security services operate like a Super PAC. They deploy millions of dollars to weaponize our own political opposition research and false narratives.  If the President, or anyone else, impedes or subverts the national security of the United States in order to further domestic political or personal interests, that is more than worthy of your attention. But we must not let domestic politics stop us from defending ourselves against the foreign powers who truly wish us harm."

  9. In President Biden’s first year in office, his administration has implemented an industrial strategy to revitalize domestic manufacturing, create good-paying American jobs, strengthen American supply chains, and accelerate the industries of the future. These policies have spurred an historic recovery in manufacturing, adding 642,000 manufacturing jobs since 2021. Companies are investing in America again, bringing good-paying manufacturing jobs back home. The construction of new manufacturing facilities has increased 116 percent over last year. President Biden signed into law the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which will build on this progress, making historic investments that will poise U.S. workers, communities, and businesses to win the race for the 21st century. It will strengthen American manufacturing, supply chains, and national security, and invest in research and development, science and technology, and the workforce of the future to keep the US the leader in the industries of tomorrow, including nanotechnology, clean energy, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence.  The CHIPS and Science Act makes the smart investments so that Americans can compete in and win the future. Fun fact: The PACT Act, which President Biden signed into law in August 2022, is the most significant expansion of benefits and services for toxin-exposed veterans in over three decades. The the PACT Act aims to deliver timely benefits and services to veterans across all generations who have been impacted by toxic exposures during their military service. Despite its overwhelming support amongst the American people, getting the PACT Act passed in Congress proved to be an uphill battle. Republicans in CongressLied repeatedly about the law and voted against it, before the pressure ramped up against them.

  10. By attacking the FBI, and America's other intelligence agencies,  Trump is doing Putin's dirty work for him. And make no mistake,  it constitutes a threat to America's national security. The FBI has always been the biggest threat to Russian agents attempting to operate on American soil. Semper Fi... The FBI's  "Operation Ghost Stories"  was a counter-espoinoge operation against Andrey Bezrukov and Yelena Vavilova, a Russian spy couple who were part of the Illegals Program, a network of Russian sleeper agents who were arrested in 2010.. By July 2015, Donald Heathfield and Tracy Lee Ann Foley had been living for two decades  in Canada and then in Europe before they ever set foot in the United States  to start spying for Russia here. We now know that the FBI was on to them  as spies as soon as they got here. The FBI's "Operation Ghost Stories"  was against Andrey Bezrukov and Yelena Vavilova, a Russian spy couple who were part of the Illegals Program, a network of Russian sleeper agents who were arrested in 2010. Andrey Bezrukov, and Yelena Vavilova, were highly trained in terms of espionage, but also in terms of language and accent and mannerisms, which would allow them to blend in. In the 80s, they arrived in Canada as a couple. They had false identifies that had been stolen from real Canadians. The identities were stolen from a little boy in Montreal in the 1960s, whose name had been Donald Heathfield and sometime in the 1960s, that little child had died in infancy. There had also been a little girl named Tracy Lee Ann Foley who had also died in Montreal in the 1960s in childhood. Decades later in the 1980s, these two Russian agents, with their stolen identities,  started a fake life in Toronto. They lived in Toronto through the ’80s and into the ’90s. In the ’90s, Heathfield and Tracy Lee Ann Foley, had two sons. After their sons were born in Canada in the ’90s, the family moved sometime in the mid to late ’90s to France where the father, Donald Heathfield, went to grad school. They were both fluent in French and English.

  35. And Trump has sent thousands of our troops to Saudi Arabia to protect their oil and HIS own personal business interests. "Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million,” Trump told a crowd at an Alabama rally on Aug. 21, 2015. “Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.” Congress was furious over Trump’s secret efforts to secure a nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia. Congress was rightfully furious when they discovered that the Saudis refused to accept limits preventing them from developing a nuclear weapon. It was revealed that Trump gave approval for companies to share certain nuclear energy technology with the kingdom without a broader nuclear deal in place. House Dems began investigating Trump's nuclear talks with Saudi after the Oversight and Reform Committee announced in February it was launching a probe to “determine whether the actions being pursued by the Trump administration are in the national security interests of the US or, rather, serve those who stand to gain financially as a result of this potential change in U.S. foreign policy.” Energy Secretary Rick Perry approved seven authorizations that let U.S. companies share certain nuclear energy technology with Saudi Arabia.  lawmakers were outraged when they found out they were not told about the approvals, saying the secrecy violates the Atomic Energy Act, which requires that Congress be kept “fully and currently informed” of 123 agreement negotiations. "Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million,” Trump told a crowd at an Alabama rally on Aug. 21, 2015. “Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.” The Saudis have invested a lot of money into Trump's criminal organization, and they expect a return on their investment..... protection being one of the things the Saudis expect in return. In 1991, as Trump was teetering on bankruptcy yet AGAIN, and scrambling to raise cash, he sold his 282-foot Trump yacht “Princess” to Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal for $20 million. Four years later, the prince came to his rescue again, joining other investors in a $325 million deal for Trump’s money-losing Plaza Hotel....Which eventually went under anyway. In 2001, Trump sold the entire 45th floor of the Trump World Tower across from the UN for $12 million, the biggest purchase in that building to that point, according to the brokerage site Streeteasy. The buyer: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since Trump took the oath of office, the Saudi government and lobbying groups for it have been lucrative customers for Trump’s hotels. A public relations firm working for the kingdom spent nearly $270,000 on lodging at his Washington hotel through March of last year, according to filings to the Justice Department. A spokesman for the firm told The Wall Street Journal that the Trump hotel payments came as part of a Saudi-backed lobbying campaign against a bill that allowed Americans to sue foreign governments for responsibility in the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Attorneys general for Maryland and the District of Columbia cited the payments by the Saudi lobbying firm as an example of foreign gifts to Trump that could violate the Constitution’s ban on such “emoluments” from foreign interests.

  38. In her new book, Trump's niece Mary describes Donald as a “toxic” bully who practices “cheating as a way of life,” and someone who values money above anything. In the forward to his new book entitled “Disloyal, A Memoir,”  Michael Cohen writes: “Trump had cheated in the election, with Russian connivance, as you will discover in these pages, because doing anything — and I mean anything — to ‘win’ has always been his business model and way of life,” he added.  Trump will definitely try to cheat in order to win reelection. Trump is a natural born loser, therefore he has to cheat. He's never achieved anything in his life without lying and cheating. Trump's failure as a president was inevitable. Trump was never equipped to do his job. He doesn't have the necessary tools or the wherewithal to do his job. Trump is grossly incapacitated intellectually, mentally, emotionally, temperamentally, socially, and psychologically. He couldn't properly do his job as president even if he wanted to. (Which he doesn't)  Trump was always going to fail, and he was always going to blame his failures on someone or something. Lying, cheating, and bullying are his only tools for survival. They are the tools of his trade, which is being an agent of chaos, misery, and destruction. It's all he knows. He is a sad and pathetic excuse for a human being. In fact, he is less of a human being, and more of a collection of every human flaw known to mankind, all rolled into one man.

  39. Most Americans agree that Coronavirus-related corporate bailouts need to come with some strings attached. Trump and Steve Mnuchin want to hide the names of the corporations and businesses that will receive billions of dollars from the relief packages 6 months. lawmakers are currently negotiating a $1.8 trillion stimulus package to help boost the economy during the global pandemic. One of the major sticking points of the debate on Capitol Hill: how to administer $500 billion in relief for big business and major corporations. Trump has already stated that he believes that he should be responsible for administering the money. This is the same con-man who ran a fake charity, a fake university, and tried to steal his dying father's entire estate.  It's all but guaranteed that Trump and Jared will try to hoard billions for themselves, their own hotels, resorts, and other properties. The proposal backed by Trump and Senate Republicans would give Steven Mnuchin wide discretion over which companies get money and when. It would also allow Mnuchin to withhold the names of the corporations and businesses receiving the bailout money for 6 months. Dems in Congress are saying, "hold on swamp, NOT SO FAST!!!" Dems want some guardrails around what companies can and cannot do with the money once checks are cut. Otherwise, what’s to stop an airline from using its bailout money to give its CEO a bonus instead of paying its workers? Or to prevent a major hotel chain from laying off workers while engaging in stock buybacks? By and large, American voters agree companies shouldn’t get money without strings attached. And the swamp howled.

  40. Trump sat in the White House, and watched the vio.lence that unfolded on our nation's Capitol for at least two whole hours, without doing anything, and without saying a word, other than to blast his own Vice President, who eventually had to flee for his life from the Capitol. Watching his followers storm the Capitol while wearing his hats and waving flags emblazoned with his name, was the greatest day of Trump's presidency. He has never felt more like the dictator he's always wanted to be than he did on that day. The truth of the matter is, if Trump had not filled his followers heads with lies for months, and if he had not held that rally, where he instructed his followers to march to the Capitol and fight like he// in order to "stop the steal" the insurrection never would have happened. Because without the use of vio.lence, how else were they going to stop the so called steal? The problem with Trump's lawyer's argument, is that there was literally nothing left to fight for, because the election was over. The only thing that remained was for Pence to count and certify the electoral votes. So the only thing they could've been fighting for, was to bring a stop to the counting of the electoral votes, which would officially certify Biden as the next democratically elected president. And vio.lence was the only option they had left. Trump had already exhausted every other legal and illegal option. So on January 6, the vio.lence card was the only card Trump had left, and he played it.

  41. Trump's inauguration was crawling with shady Russian Oligarchs with close ties to Putin. Mueller’s office is investigating how several billionaires tied to Russia were given unprecedented access to Trump’s inner circle during exclusive, invitation-only inauguration parties. They had tickets to certain events that even members of Congress have a hard time getting tickets to. Oligarchs were taken to exclusive events that were reserved for members of Trump’s inner circle and top donors. Matthew Olsen, a former national security official, said appearing at Trump's inauguration is a Russian strategy. “This reflects a Russian strategy of gaining access to our political leaders at a time when they are just forming a government,” Olsen said. “They don’t need to be spies in the James Bond sense. They are powerful people with significant wealth who are in a position to exert influence on U.S. policy makers. And they’re in a position to report back to Russian intelligence services on what they’re able to learn.” One oligarch was reportedly even inside the Capitol for the Inauguration Day luncheon with the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, according to a source familiar with the congressional investigations. This event is so exclusive that it is sometimes difficult for even members of Congress to get an invitation. Several Russian oligarchs received tickets to a “Candlelight Dinner” in D.C.’s Union Station the night before the inauguration — open only to those who contributed at least $1 million to the inauguration.
