GOP front-runner Donald Trump said Wednesday he doesn’t need the support of campaign funding powerhouse Charles Koch, saying “I got my own money.”
“What he says bears no relationship on what I do or say. I don’t need his money. I got my own money,” Trump told Breitbart News Daily on Wednesday.
Koch on Sunday had criticized Trump’s proposal for a temporary ban on letting Muslims into the country, calling it reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
Meanwhile, he told ABC on Sunday he thinks “it’s possible” a Hillary Clinton presidency would be better than putting a Republican in the White House, another comment Trump took issue with. (Read more from “Trump Says He Doesn’t Need Koch: ‘I Got My Own Money'” HERE)

Donald Trump has won presidential primaries in all five US states that voted on Tuesday, while Hillary Clinton triumphed in four out of five.
Mr Trump called himself the Republican “presumptive nominee” after victories in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
The results bring him closer to the number of delegates he needs before the party’s national convention in July.
For the Democrats, Mrs Clinton was denied a clean sweep by Bernie Sanders.
The Vermont senator won in Rhode Island and vowed to fight to the end of the primaries process. (Read more from “2016 Election: Donald Trump Sweeps Five US States” HERE)

GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump promised that while he may “act differently” in the general election should he become the nominee, his “thought process” will still be the same.
“Well I may act differently, but my thought process is the same,” Trump told his supporters and the media who gathered at his victory party in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night. The billionaire businessman swept all five states that held primaries Tuesday and by pretty significant margins.
“You know, when I speak to a group of 10 people in a conference room, I’m not going to be speaking the same way I spoke in Pennsylvania yesterday to 25,000 people,” Trump said during the event at Trump Tower. “It’s a very different thing, but I’ll be saying very similar things” . . .
Although it’s too soon to tell exactly how all of the 172 delegates at stake Tuesday will be divvied up among the three remaining Republican presidential candidates, Trump’s huge leads in all five states sets the candidate up to receive a serious chunk which could potentially put him over the 1,000 delegates mark — and that much closer to the 1,237 delegates needed.

Billionaire and Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump just gave America another reason to vote for him if he wins the GOP nomination. He promised to stop tweeting, calling it “not presidential,” according to a video released by The Hill.
Supporters instantly cried, “No!” at the thought that their beloved candidate would stop tweeting . . .
Trump tells RU crowd he'll stop tweeting when he's president. "Not presidential"
The Hill ran the story of Trump’s promise to stop tweeting, and many Facebook users who read the story there had a lot to say about Trump’s tweets and his promise to stop tweeting.
Mordechai Hunter Rees wrote, “It’s not tweeting that is ‘not presidential.’ It’s the things Trump tweets that are not presidential. (Forget about the things he retweets…)” (Read more from “Trump Promises to Make One Change If Elected President” HERE)

Paul Manafort is the new head of Donald Trump’s campaign. A longtime Washington insider and heavy duty lobbyist for third world dictators, Manafort appeared this morning on Fox News Sunday and inadvertently let slip some revealing truths.
MANAFORT: …What we’re trying to do right now is work with the Mitch McConnells who we didn’t depose in Kentucky even though he won the election and we worked with him to put a unity slate together. We’re trying to bring the party together. That’s what —
WALLACE: Wait, because I think this is interesting. You’re saying that you’re working with the Senate majority leader, who to a lot of the grassroots is a symbol of the problem?
MANAFORT: We’re working with party officials and that was an example on Saturday where we could have — we won the state. We could have gone in there and tried to be disruptive as Cruz does in these states.
Manafort’s lobbying firm has been termed “the torturer’s lobby”, having represented Filipino dictator Marcos, Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi, ousted Ukrainian president and Putin ally Victor Yanukovych, to name but a few.
Yes, Donald Trump would be vastly superior to Hillary Clinton, because a malfunctioning pencil sharpener would be vastly superior to Hillary Clinton.
But anyone expecting Trump to fight the McConnells and Ryans and the Chamber of Commerce is going to sorely disappointed. Trump has surrounded himself with Beltway cronies, lobbyists and insiders. He is a longtime Democrat and liberal.
That is what he is and will always be. Caveat emptor. (For more from the author of “TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHIEF/LOBBYIST MANAFORT: Yeah, We’re Secretly Working With Mitch McConnell” please click HERE)
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly believes he has the perfect candidate for Donald Trump to choose as a vice president if Trump wants to win the November general election.
Former Pres. George W. Bush press secretary Dana Perino was a guest on O’Reilly’s program Thursday. She was asked who Trump’s vice president choice should be . . .
The O’Reilly Factor host then jumped in and offered emphatically who that person should be.
“There’s only one choice for vice president if Donald Trump wants to win the White House. Only one person,” O’Reilly said. “Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico. That is the only choice if Mr. Trump, with all due respect, wants to be president. He must give it to the governor of New Mexico” . . .
“She’s very bright, she is a Republican conservative in a state that would go, you know, it’s not a lot of electoral votes, but if he can convince Gov. Martinez to be on the second, that will help him immensely,” O’Reilly said . . .
As O’Reilly observed, Martinez could help Trump in two demographics where he is weak — with women and with Hispanics. A Gallup poll published earlier this month found 70 percent of women holding an unfavorable view of the GOP front-runner. Additionally, in a Washington Post/Univision poll taken earlier this year, 80 percent of Hispanic voters have an unfavorable opinion about Trump.

Donald Trump may have left the door open for a third-party run if he’s denied the GOP presidential nomination, but Republican political strategist Karl Rove Thursday called that an “empty threat,” as there is not enough time left for him to mount an independent bid.
“By the time the Republican National Convention begins on July 18 in Cleveland, 12 states will have closed their deadlines to run as an independent candidate in the fall,” Rove said on Fox News’ “Happening Now” program, outlining the numerous states, including Texas, North Carolina, Michigan and more that will have closed out their deadlines.
“A quarter for the states, more than a quarter of the states, have already closed the likelihood that he can get on the ballot, and then there are about more than a dozen that close within the next two weeks, including a couple key battleground states that he would want to be competitive in if he had any hope at all of winning the presidency.” (Read more from “Karl Rove: Trump out of Time for ‘Empty Threat’ of Third-Party Race” HERE)

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump this week walked back his assertion that he could eliminate the country’s debt after two terms as president.
In an interview with Fortune Magazine published Friday, Trump was asked how his pledge to pay off the $19 trillion debt in 10 years was possible.
“No, I didn’t say 10 years,” Trump responded. “First of all, with low interest rates, you can think in terms of refinancings, and get it down. I believe you can do certain things to pay off the debt more quickly. The most important thing is to make sure the economy stays strong. You can do it in smaller chunks. You can do it in larger chunks. And you can do it in refinancings.”
Trump had, in fact, told The Washington Post editorial board earlier this month that he would pay off the debt in eight years by renegotiating trade deals. The Post called that claim “nonsensical.” (Read more from “Trump Just Took Back This Major Claim” HERE)

There is nothing more fixed and inviolable than gender. A man endowed with male parts can do all he wants to act like a woman, heck he can even be a liberal, but at the end of the day, he is a man. He can don long hair, powder his square jaw, or take all the estrogen supplements he wants to make a statement, but in private, biology will always kick in.
Trans-ideology is no different. If someone was a liberal his entire life, and even after undergoing an ideological party-change operation, still promotes socialized medicine, eminent domain, raising taxes, judicial tyranny, and well… transgender bathrooms, that person is still a liberal. He can powder himself with some strong talk on immigration here and there, but the liberal plumbing will always kick in, especially in private or when he is caught off guard.
Any conservative still hoping there is something worthwhile that can be salvaged from a Trump win after yesterday’s comments is either delusional or not a conservative. It’s not just his support for the radical transgender agenda, the most extreme and licentious manifestation of modern liberalism. It’s the way he expressed that support. He made it seem as if the default position was that men should be allowed in female bathrooms and that it was North Carolina Republicans who came along and passed some revolutionary and foreign idea to actually keep gender-separate bathrooms intact. Once again, the innate liberal kicking in, despite the party-change operation.
What was even more disturbing about his support for the Rainbow Jihad against our civil society and private property rights is that he claimed to be concerned about the lost business for North Carolina. Thus, he is publicly telegraphing the message to the far left that, were he to become president, they already know how to pick his lock. Just issue a corporate boycott in response to any policy they don’t like, and Trump will fold.
There is no movement more fascistic and officious than the Rainbow Jihad, and Trump wants them to know he’s open for business. The D.C. local government is encouraging people to “report” private businesses that don’t have transgender bathroom arrangements. Does Trump want us to “get over” that as well?
And by the way, on the unlikely chance that Trump sticks by the tougher stance (among the many stances he has taken) on immigration for even a day of his presidency, he will capitulate the minute the boycotts begin.
Fortunately, one need not look carefully at Trump’s physical attributes to ascertain his true identity. He has openly admitted time and again that he is a trans-ideologue. On the same day he came out in support of taxing the rich, changing the party’s platform on abortion, and men in female bathrooms/locker rooms, his new advisor, Paul Manafort, who was a liberal lobbyist for foreign Islamic countries, had this to say in a private briefing regarding Trump’s botched transformation [via Associated Press]:
‘When he’s out on the stage, when he’s talking about the kinds of things he’s talking about on the stump, he’s projecting an image that’s for that purpose,’ Manafort said in a private briefing.
‘You’ll start to see more depth of the person, the real person. You’ll see a real different guy,’ he said.
The Associated Press obtained a recording of the closed-door exchange.
‘He gets it,’ Manafort said of Trump’s need to moderate his personality. ‘The part that he’s been playing is evolving into the part that now you’ve been expecting, but he wasn’t ready for, because he had first to complete the first phase. The negatives will come down. The image is going to change.’
Couple this with the comment Trump himself made in February: “I’m very capable of changing to anything I want to change to.”
Now, hark back to his January comment about being politically correct: “When I’m president I’m a different person. I can do anything. I can be the most politically correct person you have ever seen.”
Folks, aren’t you already tired of one Democrat Party that has no trouble with self-identity and another Democrat Party that won’t own up to its true identity? The only change this man will bring to that dynamic is yet another ideological sex change. (For more from the author of “Trump’s Trans-Ideology” please click HERE)
Even as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, maintains that no one will win enough delegates to secure the Republican presidential nomination on the first ballot, the campaign of front-runner Donald Trump is predicting Trump will shatter the number needed for victory.
“The Cruz spin machine produces more lies than anything else,” says a memo distributed late Tuesday by the Trump campaign to Trump surrogates. “Our projections call for us to accumulate over 1400 delegates and thus a first ballot nomination win in Cleveland” . . .
The memo instructs Trump supporters to continue Trump’s line of criticizing the Republican National Committee for the method in which delegates are awarded . . .
As the Trump campaign boldly proclaimed it could hit a higher number than anyone has said, a Republican National Committee member affirmed his position that Trump would not need to win 1,237 delegates to ensure a first-round victory.
“Once you have 80 percent of the delegates, the idea that the 20 percent will deprive the 80 percent is not viable,” said Randy Evans, a member of the Rules Committee, who last week predicted that if Trump ended the primary season with 1,100 delegates he would be the nominee. “Historically, insiders want to remain insiders and the bandwagon effect always takes over.”
Evans noted that Trump could reach the number he needs to ensure eventual victory within the next few weeks of primaries. On Tuesday, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island go to the polls. That is followed by a May 3 contest in Indiana. The primary season wraps up June 7 with California (172 delegates alone), New Jersey, Montana and New Mexico voting then.
