Watch: Never-Trumper Who Rejected Trump in 2016 Has Incredible Response After Seeing Trump’s Accomplishments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Blaze. If there’s one thing President Donald Trump accomplished while running for the White House, it was fracturing the Republican Party into two camps: The Trump supporters and the so-called “Never-Trumpers.”

Never-Trumpers are mostly conservatives who could not, in good conscience, support Trump’s candidacy, despite his upwelling of populist support from America’s heartland that looked like it could defeat Hillary Clinton.

Many Never-Trumpers have relented a year and a half into Trump’s presidency, thanks to his action on tax reform and his Supreme Court nominees, Neil Gorsuch — who has since been confirmed to the court — and Brett Kavanaugh, whose confirmation process is heating up. . .

The unidentified man told Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins that he didn’t vote for Trump in 2016 because he didn’t think Trump would be “a good Republican.” But Trump has done a lot to change his mind since. . .

“The best thing he’s done in my opinion is the tax cuts and the Supreme Court pick, and if he keeps doing a good job, I will — so I didn’t vote for anybody in this very last election, but this time around I probably will vote for him,” he explained.

Trump Says It’s a ‘Complete Fabrication’ He’s Concerned His Son Is in Legal Trouble in Russia Probe

By ABC News. President Trump took to Twitter Sunday to insist he is not concerned about potential legal questions surrounding his son Donald Trump Jr.’s involvement in a 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians.

The president called it “a complete fabrication” that he is “concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower.”

Trump was apparently responding to reporting from The Washington Post and other outlets that the president has been increasingly brooding in private about the Mueller probe, particularly as it relates to his son’s possible entanglement in the investigation.

Watch: Video of President Trump Stopping Motorcade, Hopping out to Thank Firefighters Goes Viral

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A video of President Trump stopping his motorcade and climbing out of his limousine to greet a couple dozen flabbergasted firefighters is setting the interwebs on fire.

In the video, when “The Beast” (as Trump’s car is known) suddenly stops, two Secret Service agents walk up to the window. It’s unclear if they’re trying to discourage the president from getting out or simply making a quick plan for his impromptu stop.

One firefighter had been filming the motorcade as it rolled in. As the agents talk with the president, the firefighter says, “No, he’s not…” and laughs nervously. . .

Trump Syndrome Getting Worse: Woman Intentionally Hits Car Over Bumper Sticker

/0 Comments/in , /by

Okay—so when Mitt Romney lost in 2012, did conservative crash their cars into people who had pro-Obama bumper stickers? Nope. Again, we hunkered down and won the 2014 midterms. For liberals, the Trump era has led to sheer insanity. They cannot deal. They cannot move on. It’s the petulant nature of American liberalism. Whenever they lose an election, it’s a constitutional crisis. It’s the end of the world. It’s a sign that’s something is wrong with America, as if they don’t crap all over this great country on a daily basis. In reality, nothing is wrong. You people just lost. And you lost because you’re all out of touch with normal folks, though there’s been zero periods of self-reflection, showcasing another characteristic of the Left: arrogance.

Just because you got a degree in social justice warrior bullcrap doesn’t mean you’re right all the time. Yet, for now, crashing you vehicles into or-Trump drivers seems to be the act of resistance for some. In Massachusetts, a crazy woman is accused of intentionally crashing her car into another vehicle because it had a pro-Trump bumper sticker. This incident occurred on June 30 (Via Cape Cod Times):

A Taunton woman accused of intentionally driving into a man’s car a month ago after becoming enraged by a Trump bumper sticker pleaded not guilty Monday in Barnstable District Court to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.

Chloe Wright, 25, also faces charges of vandalizing property and leaving the scene of property damage. She was released on $1,250 bail and was ordered to stay away from the victim.

On June 30, a man called Barnstable police to report a hit-and-run crash. He told responding officers he had been driving south on Bearses Way in Hyannis, and was stopped for a red light at the intersection of Route 28 when the driver of the car behind him began honking the horn, according to a police report.

Top Dems Are Claiming This Trump Tweet Is an Obstruction of Justice

/0 Comments/in , /by

Top Democrats are outraged over President Trump’s recent tweet calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, saying it amounted to “obstruction of justice.”

“This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further,” Trump said Wednesday. “Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!”

Sens. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) as well as top House Democrats all agreed it crossed the line.

“As a former prosecutor, I call this obstruction of justice,” Udall tweeted Wednesday. “No one is above the law — not even the president. People in New Mexico and across the country are tired of ultra-rich and powerful people like Donald Trump trying to abuse their power to protect themselves.”

Trump to Sessions: Stop Mueller Probe Now

/0 Comments/in , /by

By CNBC. President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe immediately, escalating his attacks on the inquiry.

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now,” the president wrote in a post on Twitter. “Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!”

Trump’s tweet came before the trial of ex-campaign chief Paul Manafort entered its second day in federal court in Virginia. Manafort is being tried by Mueller’s team. . .

Later Wednesday, ABC News, citing sources said that Trump’s tweetstorm was sparked by the president learning within the past day or so that Mueller’s office wants to question him about obstruction of justice. ABC said Mueller “will limit the scope of questioning and would like to ask questions both orally and written for the President to respond to.”

Sessions, who endorsed Trump’s presidential bid during the 2016 campaign, recused himself from the Russia investigation last March, before Mueller was appointed as special counsel to investigate both foreign interference in the presidential election, and possible collusion with Russians with the Trump campaign. The investigation is being overseen by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who has defended Mueller against critics in Congress. (Read more from “Trump to Sessions: Stop Mueller Probe Now” HERE)

Donald Trump Tells Sessions to Shut Down Mueller Probe; Aides Quickly Play Down Remarks

By USA Today. . .Democratic lawmakers seized on Trump’s tweet, saying it was a clear effort to thwart justice.

“This is an attempt to obstruct justice hiding in plain sight,” tweeted Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

The president’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said his client “was expressing his opinion on his favored medium” for communicating, not issuing an order to his attorney general.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump made clear that he wanted to see Mueller finish the investigation. . .

Mueller is investigating Russian attempts to sway the 2016 election toward Trump and whether anyone from Trump’s presidential campaign cooperated with Moscow. He is examining whether there were any attempts to obstruct the investigation. (Read more from “Donald Trump Tells Sessions to Shut Down Mueller Probe; Aides Quickly Play Down Remarks” HERE)

Viral Portrait of Trump ‘Crossing the Swamp’ Sets off Internet Firestorm

/0 Comments/in , /by

Painter Jon McNaughton, a Utah resident with a record of creating artwork about President Donald Trump and his administration that has already brought him praise from Trump supporters and angry criticism from Trump opponents, has unveiled his latest piece. . .

McNaughton’s updated version of that iconic image shows Trump and his inner circle aboard a rickety boat, navigating a crossing of the Washington “swamp.”

According to McNaughton’s website, the other figures are, from left: United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Defense Secretary James Mattis, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, first daughter Ivanka Trump, National Security Advisor John Bolton, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway (she’s hard to see), and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.

The symbolism is obvious. Just as George Washington led a small army to fight against the seemingly invincible British empire during the American Revolution, Trump and his band of cabinet secretaries are battling the seemingly impregnable swamp of Washington, D.C. . .

Trump Supporters Score Huge Federal Win After Being Attacked in Sanctuary City

/0 Comments/in , /by

A lawsuit by Donald Trump supporters attacked after a campaign event in San Jose, California, back in the summer of 2016 can proceed with a lawsuit against the city, under a ruling by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the lawsuit alleges that police officers in the sanctuary city deliberately exposed the Trump backers to danger as they were filing out of the building where the June 2016 rally was held.

“After the rally at the McEnery Convention Center, police directed those in attendance to leave from a single exit. There, according to the lawsuit, they were ordered to head out onto a street where hundreds of anti-Trump protesters were waiting, even though a safer route and other exits were available,” the Chronicle reported.

“Twenty plaintiffs in the suit said they were beaten or struck by objects thrown by the protesters, and one plaintiff said an officer told her that police had been instructed not to intervene. The plaintiffs said police arrested three people for allegedly assaulting officers, but no one for attacking Trump supporters.”

The judges ruled that if what the supporters allege in the lawsuit is accurate, “the officers acted with deliberate indifference to a known and obvious danger” and “violated the Trump supporters’ constitutional rights.” (Read more from “Trump Supporters Score Huge Federal Win After Being Attacked in Sanctuary City” HERE)

Watch: Reporter Makes Absurd Claim About Trump Rally After Getting Criticized

/0 Comments/in , /by

CNN’s Jim Acosta complained on Wednesday evening about the way he was treated yesterday during President Donald Trump’s rally in Tampa, Florida, claiming that he felt like he “wasn’t in America anymore.”

Appearing on HLN with host S.E. Cupp, Acosta recounted his experience at the recent Trump rally where he was mocked and Trump supporters chanted “CNN Sucks!” while he was on camera.

“Honestly, it felt like we weren’t in America anymore,” Acosta said. “I don’t know how to put it any more plainly than that.” . . .

“He is whipping these crowds up into a frenzy to the point where they really want to come after us,” Acosta complained. “My sense of it is that these opinions these folks have at these rallies, they’re shaped by what they see in the primetime hours of Fox News and what they hear from some conservative news outlets that just sort of give them this daily diet of what they consider to be terrible things we do over here at CNN.”

New Poll Finds Dem Would Beat Trump in Hypothetical Matchup

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Vice President Joe Biden would beat President Trump in a hypothetical 2020 matchup, according to a new poll.

Politico/Morning Consult found Biden would be 7 points ahead of the current commander in chief, with 44 percent of registered voters saying they’d support the former VP compared to 37 percent who said they’d vote to reelect Trump.

Registered Democrats favored a generic candidate over Biden by 9 points, with 89 percent saying they would vote for a generic Democrat compared to 80 percent who said they would vote for Biden. . .

“Biden never by himself could ever do anything. President Obama took him, made him vice president and he was fine. But you go back and look at how he succeeded in running, when he ran two or three times, I don’t think he ever … broke one. He was at the … 1 percent or less level,” Trump added. . .

Expect to see many more polls like this in the weeks and months to come. Of course you remember that just days before the 2016 presidential election pollsters and statisticians put Clinton’s odds of winning between 75 and 99 percent. So take these surveys with a grain of salt. (Read more from “New Poll Finds Dem Would Beat Trump in Hypothetical Matchup” HERE)

The Bible Trump’s New VA Secretary Chose to Be Sworn in on Tells You Everything You Need to Know

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .During the swearing-in ceremony, Trump said of [Robert] Wilkie:

Robert Wilkie is the proud son of an Army veteran, an artillery officer raised on the base at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. That’s a great place. On his daily walk to high school with the woman who is now his wife, he passed by the Fayetteville VA hospital, which bore the inscription: “The Price of Freedom is Visible Here.” It made a big impact. It was a price Robert saw firsthand through his own father, who was gravely injured in combat during the Vietnam War.

Robert went on to serve as an officer in both the Air Force and the Navy, then as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs, and as Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. Robert also serves with distinction as Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

During the swearing-in ceremony, Wilkie produced a worn-looking Bible. The Bible had an incredible story to it, which Wilkie shared with his audience.

“The Bible that I will take my oath on reminds me of the 100th anniversary of the end of the war to end all wars,” Wilkie said, referring to WW1, “It was a Bible taken into battle by my wife’s grandfather who had probably never ventured beyond three or four counties in North and South Carolina. But by the time he was 18, he was marching up the Champs-Élysées into the cauldron of the Meuse-Argonne.” (Read more from “The Bible Trump’s New VA Secretary Chose to Be Sworn in on Tells You Everything You Need to Know” HERE)
