/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump held a Labor Day press conference from the White House to discuss the economic comeback from COVID-19, and the rollout of a potential vaccine. The president touted the jobs report, boasting 10.6 million jobs created in a four-month period, and the declining unemployment rate.

He warned about the economic repercussions of a Biden-Harris administration; the pair has vowed to repeal the monumental Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, from which middle-class income brackets overwhelmingly benefited.

Top John Kelly Aide Denies The Atlantic Report Leak

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Deputy White House Chief of Staff Zach Fuentes denied to Breitbart News The Atlantic’s account of President Donald Trump’s comments about troops in Europe.

Fuentes unequivocally denied The Atlantic’s report last week, a huge blow to the establishment media narrative. Fuentes personally briefed President Trump on the weather situation that led to the trip being canceled. He is also a close personal confidante of former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.

“You can put me on record denying that I spoke with The Atlantic,” Fuentes told Breitbart News on Monday. “I don’t know who the sources are. I did not hear POTUS call anyone losers when I told him about the weather. Honestly, do you think General Kelly would have stood by and let ANYONE call fallen Marines losers?”

He specifically also stated that he believes The Atlantic’s sources “are unlikely first hand accounts.”

“They are conflating those people from something the day after,” Fuentes said. (Read more from “Top John Kelly Aide Denies The Atlantic Report Leak” HERE)

Trump Vows to Defund Schools Pushing 1619 Project

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Sunday that the Department of Education (DOE) is investigating California public schools including the 1619 Project — a radical revisionist history plan promoted by the New York Times which claims the United States was founded in 1619 when the first slaves arrived in Virginia — in their curricula.

“Department of Education is looking at this. If so, they will not be funded!” Trump tweeted.

Sen. Tom Cotton, (R-AR), introduced a bill in July that would have addressed schools’ use of the 1619 project in a similar manner to that Trump proposed, Fox News reported. “That bill proposed denying funds to any school that uses the 1619 Project in its curriculum.”

In a statement, Cotton called the 1619 project “a racially divisive, revisionist account of history that denies the noble principles of freedom and equality on which our nation was founded.”

Ironically, the project, created by Nikole Hannah-Jones, received the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for commentary and not the award for history. (Read more from “Trump Vows to Defund Schools Pushing 1619 Project” HERE)

WATCH: Kamala Reveals How She Feels About the Coronavirus Vaccine

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump and his administration have been focusing on Operation Warp Speed, a goal of delivering 300 million doses of a safe and effective vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus. The goal is to have the vaccine available to the public by January of 2021. It has been said that the vaccine could become available as early as October. Despite the rapid development, manufacturing and testing, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) refused to say whether or not she would get the vaccine.

“Do you trust that the situation we’re in now that the public health experts and scientists will, on the efficacy of the vaccine?” CNN’s Bash asked the senator on Saturday.

“It’s past its prologue that they will not. They will be muzzled. They’ll be suppressed. They’ll be sidelined because [President Donald Trump] is looking at an election coming up in less than 60 days and he’s grasping for whatever he can get to pretend he’s been a leader on this issue when he’s not,” Harris explained.

“So, let’s just say there’s a vaccine that is approved and even distributed before the election. Would you get it?” the host asked. . .

“Well, I think that’s going to be an issue for all of us. I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump,” she said with a smile. “And it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about.”

Nearly 700 U.S. Veterans Issue Open Letter in Support of President Trump; Trump Speculates On Source Of Story Claiming He Nixed Visit to Military Cemetery Over Disdain for Slain Veterans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. Nearly 700 American veterans have issued an open letter affirming their support of President Trump against establishment media attacks weeks before the 2020 presidential election. . .

In an open letter obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, about 674 veterans wrote that their support for Trump, against attacks by the establishment media, remains unwavering because of his record of supporting the United States military and ending foreign wars.

“Recent baseless media attacks against President Trump from anonymous sources are just another example of the depths to which the President’s opponents are willing to descend to divide the nation and meddle in this election,” the veterans write.

“Anyone who knows President Trump has seen his love and reverence for our military and veterans. That is why we, veterans from every generation, are writing today to reaffirm our support for President Trump,” they continue:

We heard these same attacks in 2018 immediately following the President’s trip to Paris, and they are just as fake now as they were then. The false allegations center on the President’s canceled trip to a military cemetery, which has been proven to be a “bad weather call” made for safety and security reasons. This has been proven by internal White House emails from the time, as well as by documents from the U.S. Navy, which clearly described weather as the reason for the cancellation. While the media relied on four anonymous individuals to manufacture the story, many more current and former White House officials have stepped forward and, on the record, refuted these baseless allegations. These on-the-record voices include the Secret Service agent in charge of the President’s detail and John Bolton – a vocal critic of the President – who described the “bad weather call” in his book and now says he did not hear the President say the things being attributed to him. No one should take this story seriously.

Donald Trump Speculates That John Kelly May Have Been Source Of Stunning Story In The Atlantic

By Deadline. The Atlantic’s bombshell story that Donald Trump made disparaging comments about American soldiers triggered a day-long guessing game and debate over the piece’s anonymous sources.

Trump himself joined in, telling reporters that “it could have been a guy like” his former chief of staff, John Kelly, even as the White House spent much of the day attacking The Atlantic and insisting that its story was false. As if to forestall the damage should someone like Kelly go public, Trump took the opportunity to also disparage his former employee, a retired four star general. “He was unable to handle the pressure of this job,” Trump said.

Sources Dispute Claim Trump Nixed Visit to Military Cemetery Over Disdain for Slain Veterans, but Back up Parts of Atlantic Report

By Fox News. President Trump canceled a planned 2018 trip to a cemetery for American war dead in France because of the weather and not because of disdain for the slain soldiers who are buried there or concern about how the weather would affect his hair, two sources told Fox News, despite a report from The Atlantic making that claim.

Still, the details from that trip and other events described in the explosive piece remain a subject of dispute.

Two sources who were on the trip in question with Trump refuted the main thesis of The Atlantic’s reporting — that Trump canceled a trip to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, which is at the site of Belleau Wood, an important World War I battle, because he believed the dead soldiers to be “losers.”

The White House had said at the time the decision was made because of poor weather for flying Marine One and the fact that the cemetery was too far a distance for a motorcade to drive.

One of the sources who refuted the Atlantic’s reporting is not a fan of Trump. Both sources said that Trump was upset about not being able to go to Aisne-Marne and said they had never heard Trump refer to war dead at Aisne-Marne or in the battle of Bellau Wood as “losers” or “suckers.”

WATCH: Trump Slams Reporters for Treating Joe Biden Like a Child

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump took issue with reporters on Friday for treating Joe Biden like a child. Matt and Ellie wrote earlier about the softball questions that reporters teed up for the Democratic presidential nominee. There’s no excuse for the media’s childlike treatment of Joe Biden. Reporters should have their best questions saved up since the former VP has largely avoided the press all year long.

Like a child, Biden appears to be unable to call on reporters himself. The candidate that struggles to read a teleprompter relies on staff members to call on reporters using an approved list to decide which vetted reporter may ask a question. There’s no telling how much the Biden campaign vets the questions beforehand, but the campaign would be hard-pressed to come up with more self-serving questions themselves. . .

Trump, who gets nothing but hostile questions from the liberal media all day long and still calls on reporters who think they are in a presidential debate, grilled reporters at the White House on Friday for continuing to treat Biden like a child.

“Read the questions you asked,” Trump said. “Those questions were meant for a child. Smiles on faces of reporters, not like you and you” the president said, pointing to miserable reporters.

“Take a look at those questions that they ask him. They were not meant for a grown-up. They were meant for a child,” said the president.

Trump Approval Numbers Return to Pre-Shutdown High

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump’s approval rating is back up to its pre-pandemic high of 52 percent, according to a Rasmussen poll.

Friday’s Rasmussen Reports approval rating for Trump was 52%. At the same time, 48 percent disapprove. Strong feelings for the president are equal on both sides– 42 percent strongly approve of the president’s job and 42 percent strongly disapprove.

The last time Trump hit 52 percent approval was late February, weeks before coronavirus lockdowns kicked in.

The highest approval rating Trump has had was in late September 2019, at 53 percent, according to Rasmussen. The highest former President Barack Obama had was 52 percent, in late January 2011.

Daily tracking results for Rasmussen are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters a night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. (Read more from “Trump Approval Numbers Return to Pre-Shutdown High” HERE)

Gov. Cuomo: Trump Had ‘Better Have an Army’ to Protect Him If He Comes to NYC

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday all but threatened President Trump’s safety if he returns to New York City in a rant responding to an exclusive story by The Post that Trump is looking to pull federal funds from “lawless” cities including New York.

Cuomo called an emergency press briefing within a half-hour on Wednesday night to tear into Trump for the order, which cites New York’s rising murder rate and defunding of the NYPD.

“He better have an army if he thinks he’s gonna walk down the street in New York. New Yorkers don’t want to have anything to do with him,” the Democrat said, all but threatening the commander-in-chief.

But Cuomo — who, like Trump, hails from Queens — wasn’t done. “He can’t have enough bodyguards to walk through New York City, people don’t want to have anything to do with him.”

On substance, Cuomo said he doubted the legality of Trump’s five-page memo ordering a review of federal funds that can be redirected from New York City, Portland, Seattle and Washington, DC. (Read more from “Gov. Cuomo: Trump Had ‘Better Have an Army’ to Protect Him If He Comes to NYC” HERE)

Trump Orders Review to Defund NYC, Other ‘Anarchist’ Cities

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is ordering the federal government to begin the process of defunding New York City and three other cities where officials allowed “lawless” protests and cut police budgets amid rising violent crime, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Trump on Wednesday signed a five-page memo ordering all federal agencies to send reports to the White House Office of Management and Budget that detail funds that can be redirected.

New York City, Washington, DC, Seattle and Portland are initial targets as Trump makes “law and order” a centerpiece of his re-election campaign after months of unrest and violence following the May killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police.

“My Administration will not allow Federal tax dollars to fund cities that allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones,” Trump says in the memo, which twice mentions New York Mayor Bill de Blasio by name.

“To ensure that Federal funds are neither unduly wasted nor spent in a manner that directly violates our Government’s promise to protect life, liberty, and property, it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction in America’s cities.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Review to Defund NYC, Other ‘Anarchist’ Cities” HERE)

President Trump: CNN’s Chris Cuomo, MSNBC’s Joy Reid Should Be Fired for Sexist, Islamophobic Comments

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has called on CNN to fire anchor Chris Cuomo after leaked audio revealed a discussion he had with Michael Cohen regarding sexual misconduct allegations.

In a tweet Wednesday the president referred to Cuomo as “Fredo,” the fictional character in “The Godfather” films depicted as a weaker, younger brother.

The president went on to mention leaked audio of Cuomo discussing apparent sexual misconduct claims against him during his time at ABC with the president’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen. In the conversation, the CNN anchor discussed how far the #MeToo movement has gone.

Responding to the audio, the president said, “it’s always terrible to speak to sleazebags, especially when you are the being recorded.” He also noted Cuomo’s “ratings are bad” and said it’s time for him to go.
