Trump Launches 2020 Re-Election Campaign

President Donald Trump will launch his 2020 re-election campaign on Tuesday evening in Orlando, Florida. Crowds have been waiting for 40 hours to get into the 25,000 capacity Amway Center, and movie screens will be outside for the overflow crowd. . .

Trump says Republicans believe that “every life is a sacred gift from God” after blasting Democrats for “ripping babies straight from the mother’s womb.” He says some Democrats, especially in Virginia, back “execution after birth.” . . .

. . .Trump says tariffs are working and America has added 16,000 manufacturing jobs a month since he took office while the country was losing thousands of manufacturing job a month before that. Referring to Obama’s “magic wand” comments, Trump says he’ll tell “Sleepy Joe” Biden that he found the “magic wand” to bring back manufacturing jobs. He now brags about getting “right to try” legislation passed.

. . .Trump now introduces Sarah Huckabee Sanders and predicts she will run for governor. She says she has been in the front row of history to see him make “drastic changes” to make America great. She says “he’s fighting for all of the people in this room” and “will have an incredible six more years to make our country stronger than it has ever been.”

Movement Re-Engages for Donald Trump Re-Election; Media Admits No One Showed up to Anti-Trump Rallies

By Breitbart. Americans nationwide are preparing for President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign official launch on Tuesday evening in Orlando, Florida, by planning watch parties–hundreds of them–from coast to coast for those who cannot trek down to the Sunshine State rally but want to watch as part of a community.

From Maine to Alabama, from Washington, D.C., to New Hampshire, from North Carolina to Florida, from Nevada to Minnesota, and in so many other places nationwide, Trump supporters are holding watch parties for the president’s rally on Tuesday evening officially launching his re-election campaign in 2020.

Trump is expected to take stage right at primetime, at 8:00 p.m. ET, and many of these parties are beginning around 7:30 or some even earlier. Some are hosted by Republican officials, or Trump campaign officials, others by conservative groups–and some just by ardent Trump supporters doing so on their own. . .

The RNC’s Mike Reed, in a follow-up memo, wrote that “the numbers and enthusiasm we are witnessing is absolutely astounding – So far, over 250 training events are planned which will train a total of over 4,400 people. And over 700 MAGA meet-ups are planned, hosting nearly 12,000 attendees, to watch President Trump’s rally tomorrow night.”

Reed compares this to the Democrat side of the aisle, which has plans to train just 1,000 college students in a year’s time, according to a report in The Hill newspaper, which he scoffs at, noting that Republicans have done more in a week than Democrats are aiming to do in a year.

797 Trump Reelection ‘Watch Parties’ Set, Six Times the Number of #ImpeachTrump Events

By Washington Examiner. Hundreds of “watch parties” and Trump-Pence reelection training events are set to take place Tuesday as President Trump announces his bid for a second term at a massive rally in Orlando, Fla., according to campaign officials.

A total of 797 events are already planned to focus on the president’s announcement, and they will occur in every state, plus Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

That number dwarfs the 133 “#ImpeachTrump Day of Action” events Saturday that were sparsely attended, including one in front of the White House, prompting a mocking tweet from the president.

Feds ‘Actively Working’ on Crackdown on Welfare-Dependent Immigration

Federal immigration officials at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency are “actively working” to enforce President Donald Trump’s recent crackdown on welfare-dependent legal immigration to the U.S.

In a memo last week, Acting USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli said that staff would “develop and implement guidance” on Trump’s presidential memorandum signed last month that mandates American taxpayers be reimbursed when a legal immigrant uses public welfare. . .

Cuccinelli’s memo to staff reads:

As part of USCIS’ implementation of this memorandum, USCIS officers will now be required to remind individuals at their adjustment of status interviews of their sponsors’ responsibilities under existing law and regulations. Our officers must remind applicants and sponsors that the Affidavit of Support is a legal and enforceable contract between the sponsor and the federal government. The sponsor must be willing and able to financially support the intending immigrant as outlined by law and regulations (see INA 213A and 8 CFR 213a). If the sponsored immigrant receives any federal means-tested public benefits, the sponsor will be expected to reimburse the benefits-granting agency for every dollar of benefits received by the immigrant. [Emphasis added]

Over the next several months, federal agencies will develop and implement guidance on the presidential memorandum to make sure that agencies enforce these requirements. USCIS will do our part, and we are actively working to implement the President’s directive with our federal partners, including by updating policies and regulations. We continue to advance the President’s directive to enforce the public charge ground of inadmissibility, which seeks to ensure that immigrants are self-sufficient and rely on their own capabilities and the resources of their families, their sponsors, and private organizations rather than public resources. [Emphasis added]

Israel Honors Trump with Settlement in the Golan Heights

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled Sunday a new Jewish settlement in the internationally contested Golan Heights named after President Donald Trump.

The settlement is called “Trump Heights” — or “Ramat Heights” in Hebrew — and essentially renames an existing settlement in Kela Alon that was built decades ago, the Wall Street Journal reported. Fewer than a dozen Israeli citizens live in the settlement, which sits just 12 miles from the Syrian border.

Netanyahu revealed the settlement during a meeting of his cabinet.

“We are going to do two things — establish a new community on the Golan Heights, something that has not been done for many years. This is an act of Zionism and it is paramount,” he said, according to the New York Post. “The second thing is to honor our friend, a very great friend of the State of Israel — President Donald Trump, who recently recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.” . . .

The move was internationally condemned, and did not generate any worldwide support. The international community maintains that Israel has illegal control over the Golan despite winning control over the the majority of the land during the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel officially annexed Golan in 1981.

Trump Announces His Anti-Socialism Health Care Expansion

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump announced plans Friday to expand health care for small business and workers through health reimbursement arrangements (HRA).

Trump said that the expansions of HRAs would allow families to start shopping around for health care plans that they wanted and to get reimbursed by their employers. . .

Trump warned Americans away from free government healthcare plans proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, pointing out that it would lead to socialism.

“That’s going to hurt a lot of people,” Trump said, warning of worse care and long wait times under a government-run system.

“We have to reject the socialist model,” Trump said, calling for freedom of choice and access to the best health care plans. (Read more from “Trump Announces His Anti-Socialism Health Care Expansion” HERE)

Executive Order to Aid Employee Access to Individual Health Plans

By Health Payer Intelligence. The Trump Administration issued an executive order that will allow employers to help employees pay for health insurance via health reimbursement arrangements. . .

According to the Department of Health & Human Services, an estimated 800,000 employers and 11 million employees and dependents will benefit from the executive order. . .

HHS provided a brief description of how the rule will impact employers and employees next year:

Under the rule, starting in January 2020, employers will be able to use what are referred to as individual coverage HRAs to provide their workers with tax-preferred funds to pay for the cost of health insurance coverage that workers purchase in the individual market, subject to certain conditions. These conditions strike the right balance between employer flexibility and guardrails meant to protect the individual market against adverse selection, and include a notice requirement to ensure employees understand the benefit. Individual coverage HRAs are designed to give working Americans and their families greater control over their healthcare by providing an additional way for employers to finance health insurance.

Trump’s Plan to Make Air Force One Look ‘More American’ Has Some House Democrats Fuming

By Fox News. President Trump’s plan to give Air Force One a bolder, more updated, “more American” look has some Democrats angrier than a traveler who just missed a flight.

On Thursday, the president revealed mockups of a proposed new design for the presidential jet, showing a new red-white-and-blue color scheme that features a darker blue base color instead of the lighter “sky blue” that has been used on the plane since the Kennedy administration. . .

The proposed redesign comes as part of a contract with Boeing to build two new Air Force One jets to replace the current models, which are more than 30 years old. Trump reached a deal with Boeing to buy the jets for $3.9 billion – after negotiating a $1.4 billion reduction from the original estimate.

But one day earlier, a Connecticut Democrat introduced an amendment to a Pentagon spending plan that calls for congressional approval for spending on “interior, paint and fixtures.” . . .

Another Democrat, Rep. John Garamendi of California, told the newspaper that the U.S. should be careful before changing the appearance of a plane that he said is symbolic of American leadership around the globe.

Andrew McCabe Thinks This Recent Trump Comment Makes Him a Threat to National Security

By Breitbart. Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe commented on President Donald Trump saying he would accept “dirt” on political opponents from foreign governments.

McCabe said, “As you know, the standard for opening our case is when we have information that might indicate that a threat to national security might exist or that a federal crime may have been committed. And so, in that time, in May of 2017, we clearly had that sort of information. We knew what the Russians had been doing since 2014, 2015, attacking our cyber infrastructure, our academic institutions, government institutions, think tanks. We knew they attacked the DNC. They weaponized that material to try to hurt Candidate Clinton and help Candidate Trump. We knew Trump was upset about the fact we were investigating that activity. He specifically asked us to stop investigating that activity, and when we didn’t follow his requests, he fired the director. ” (Read more from “Andrew McCabe Thinks This Recent Trump Comment Makes Him a Threat to National Security” HERE)

Andrew McCabe Says It’s Time to Start an Impeachment Inquiry into Trump

By CNN Politics. Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said Thursday that the time has come to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

On CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” Chris Cuomo asked McCabe, “Do you believe that an impeachment inquiry is warranted based on what you understand and what has come out of the Mueller report?” . . .

“I think we are clearly there with the results of the special counsel team,” McCabe said. “There are so many witnesses who could provide important essential testimony to Congress that can only be done in the scope of an impeachment inquiry.” (Read more from “Andrew McCabe Says It’s Time to Start an Impeachment Inquiry into Trump” HERE)

Watch: Tranny Actor Attacks Trump Supporter over Sign

Indya Moore, a self-proclaimed “non-binary” actor and star of the FX show Pose, physically attacked a supporter of President Donald Trump in New York because he was holding a “Make America Great Again” sign.

A video of the incident that was posted to Facebook by Trump activist Dion Cini shows the actor physically ripping the sign away from the Trump supporter.

The incident occurred last Friday, according to Cini, in Manhattan, New York, across the street from Trump Tower where he and several Trump supporters were rallying in support of the president. . .

Cini told the Daily Mail that he would file a police report against the transgender actor. Cini also noted that he did not care that the actor was stomping on and kicking his sign because it is made of cloth and can’t really be ruined that way. But when Moore tried to walk off with the sign, Cini noted that he would not be “robbed” of his property.

“I let him continue to stomp on it. You can’t really hurt it, I’ve had other people kick it before,” Cini said of Moore’s attack. “I have no grievances with the actor. I just don’t want to be robbed when I’m executing my First Amendment rights.” (Read more from “Watch: Tranny Actor Attacks Trump Supporter over Sign” HERE)

Biden Hits Trump for Election Interference Remarks. Trump Levels Biden with Video.

President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign fired back at Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday after Biden called out the president for remarks he made during an ABC News interview with George Stephanopoulos.

During the interview, Stephanopoulos, who is a former Clinton administration official, asked Trump what he would do if he was presented with information from a foreign government on a political opponent.

Trump answered the question by saying that he would be willing to listen to what the information was because “there’s nothing wrong with listening,” and later said, “If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI.”

Biden responded in a tweet, writing: “President Trump is once again welcoming foreign interference in our elections. This isn’t about politics. It is a threat to our national security. An American President should not seek their aid and abet those who seek to undermine democracy.”

The Trump campaign responded to Biden’s swipe in a tweet of their own that featured a CNN video from this February when Biden visited Munich, Germany.

Trump Pulled the Biggest ‘Top Gun’ Moment the White House Has Ever Seen

By The Daily Caller. President Donald Trump had a full-on “Maverick” at the White House on Wednesday.

Just before a joint press conference with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, an F-35 Marine Corps fighter jet — the U.S. military’s most advanced aircraft — conducted the first flyover of the White House in more than 100 years. The aircraft also hovered above the White House, which is a skill unique to the Marine version of the fighter jet.

‘I Think I’d Take It’: In Interview, Trump Says He Would Listen If Foreigners Offered Dirt on Opponents

By NBC News. President Donald Trump said in an interview excerpt aired Wednesday that he might take help from a foreign government offering information on an opponent.

Trump made the comment to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos while discussing why his son, Donald Trump Jr., didn’t go to the FBI after he spoke with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump Jr. spoke to Congress for three hours Wednesday to discuss answers he gave in an interview to the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2017, including those regarding emails leading up to the meeting which promised dirt on Democrat Hillary Clinton, Trump’s opponent.

The president told Stephanopoulos that “life doesn’t work that way” when asked why his son didn’t go to the FBI. Trump also said he would want to hear if another country had information on another candidate and called it “oppo research.”

“It’s not an interference, they have information,” Trump said. “I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI.” (Read more from “‘I Think I’d Take It’: In Interview, Trump Says He Would Listen If Foreigners Offered Dirt on Opponents” HERE)
