Now he's going off on China. What a day he's had.

Donald J. Trump‏@realDonaldTrump
I am very disappointed in China. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet...

Donald J. Trump‏@realDonaldTrump
...they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!

That's a recurring theme with Trump now. It's everybody else's fault. The GOP, China, Hillary, Obama, etc.

It's never his fault.

Pretty clear who's going to be last man on the Trump Titanic when it sinks.

Quote:
Deidre Scaramucci, 38, fed up with her three-year marriage to the new White House communication director, filed divorce papers on July 6 in Nassau County Supreme Court.

On Monday, while Anthony was in West Virginia with President Trump for the Boy Scouts Jamboree, Deidre gave birth to the couple’s baby boy James. As of Friday evening, a full four days after delivery, her 53-year-old husband had yet to meet his newborn son, though an associate close to Anthony said he visited the child late that night.

“When James was born, he sent her a text saying, ‘Congratulations, I’ll pray for our child,’” said a source close to the situation.

Lol Trump's back to saying China could easily solve the problem, he forgot the history lesson he says he had from Xi.

Police chiefs blast Trump for seeming to endorse ‘police brutality’




"Police leaders across the country moved quickly to distance themselves from — or to outright condemn — U.S. President Trump’s statements about “roughing up” people who’ve been arrested.

The swift public denunciations came as departments are under intense pressure to stamp out brutality and excessive force that can erode the relationship between officers and the people they police — and cost police chiefs their jobs.

Some police leaders worried that three sentences uttered by the president during a Long Island, N.Y., speech could upend nearly three decades of fence-mending since the 1991 Los Angeles Police Department beating of Rodney King ushered in an era of distrust of police.

“It’s the wrong message,” Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, told Washington radio station WTOP while speaking of the trust-building work that departments have undertaken since King’s beating. “The last thing we need is a green light from the president of the United States for officers to use unnecessary force.”

Trump made the comments at a gathering of law enforcement officers at Suffolk County Community College in New York."

You can tell when he's off the teleprompter because he starts rambling incoherently and waving his arms around, and making weird gestures with his little hands.

And wtf writes his speeches? Bannon?

And Jesus, what a moron.

Trump is an idiot. He is a dangerous idiot. In his speech at Suffolk County he encouraged the militarization of law enforcement, called Peter King a respected politician, claimed that he brought MS13 to the attention of law enforcement and has moved a great deal of them out of the country (both lies), called mayors across the country weak and pathetic, claimed they are liberating towns across the United States, suggests using bikers for undisclosed purposes, claims the 2nd amendment would be gone if he wasn't elected, claims we have trade deficits with most nations (which is wrong), encourages police brutality, and natters on and on about MS13, like they are the only gang in the country.

What this speech ended up being was nothing more than red meat for the type of cops you want to cull from the herd. There are too many cops in the United States who are cops just because they have power and authority, and they abuse it. This speech feeds those kind of cops and encourages them and their negative behaviors.

On the gang front, here is the 2011 estimate. The issue is much greater than MS13, but Trump wouldn't know that because he doesn't read or listen to anyone who knows. Those bikers he was glorifying in his speech are responsible for more human trafficking than any of he Mexican gangs, although La Nuestra Familia is developing similar networks that rival the long established biker gangs. Trump can try and claim that the problem is coming in from Mexico, but gang related problems are a result of lack of economic opportunity in American communities more than anything.

BTW, Trump's speech writer is Stephen Miller. I think we all know what kind of person he is.

Trump still having a hissy fit this morning about the GOP health care failure. It appears nobody told him that the Republicans have given up, and are basically moving on at this point.

No, Trump does what Trump does, he misspoke about something he doesn't understand. It increased by 2.6%, which is better than double the 1.2% increase in Q1, but is only back to the average that Obama maintained (with bad growth in the final half of 2016 as a result of election uncertainty). Trump's big quarter of growth still lags well behind Obama's best months, and is about average, even when you factor in the flat growth because of the aforementioned election uncertainty.

Why is insurance restricted across individual states? Why can't any company offer it any where. It seems like an easy fix to expand risk pools.

No doubt that a piece like this would drive Trump nuts, and he'd immediately fire off a rage-filled tweet storm attacking these psychiatrists. Unfortunately there's no way he reads the Independent.
