Manafort Guilty - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort has been found guilty on eight charges of tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose foreign banks accounts. "

Lets Get Real:

This is not a good day for the Trump Oval, his 2016 Campaign Manager has been found guilty due to his links to the Ukraine and Russia, and his personal lawyer has done a deal with the feds over a payment to a porn star over allegation that she had an affair with Trump in the past.   The question is what will Trump DO, does he fear that Manafort has something on him and thus grants him a Presidential Pardon, this would cause an outcry, the Democrats would shout cover up.   In many ways this is a re-run of 1998 and the allegations against Bill Clinton.  The liberal elite press will be ALL over the story. 

Trump on the Warpath against his CRITICS - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has revoked the security clearance of ex-CIA chief John Brennan, denying the US president's critic any access to sensitive information.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a very petty move by the Oval, it only plays in to the hands of the liberal press elite, they will play this story for all its worth and the Democrats will be ALL over it, one can see why the Trump Oval has done this, these on the whole former Obama officials have been very critical of the Trump Administration and of President Trump, and the Oval wanted to fight back.   POTUS should think of hiring former Secretary of State James Baker as his Chief of Staff, he was a Reagan's first term Chief of Staff and is considered a role model. 

Is Trump a Racist Part 2 ? - Update 2 - Trump Era

The New York Times: Reports " Trump’s ‘That Dog’ Attack Is the Latest in a String of Insults Aimed at Black People  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS does not help himself, his tweets will be used by the liberal left elite to go after him, in political terms the only saving grace for the Oval is that his supporters do not trust the liberal media and seem not to hear the noise coming out of the White House.  The White House Chief of Staff needs a word with POTUS, he can not say such things, they are racist and not Presidential, can you see JFK or Reagan using such language.  A Sad day for the Office of the Presidency, 

Is President Trump a RACIST ? - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Trump’s scathing attack on Manigault Newman is the latest in a string of insults directed at prominent African American people. This month, Trump questioned the intelligence of the basketball star LeBron James, who had criticised the president in an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon. Trump called Lemon the “dumbest man on television”.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has a track record of saying racist things, from his view that Mexican men who come to the US are rapists etc, the question is does POTUS understand what comes out of his mouth, is it a strategy or does he not know.  The President whatever his anger can not use this words about African - Americans, it gives others the idea that they can use such language.   The Trump Chief of Staff needs a quiet word with a President and should hire a African - American to be on the Trump staff.   The Civil Rights movement fought for African - Americans to be respected, that does not mean you can not be critical, but it must be done in a respectful manner. 

Turkey on the Slide and at economic War with the US - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " Turkish lira 'meltdown' sends emerging market currencies tumbling: Indian rupee hits a record low and South African rand plummets – while London's FTSE cautiously rises as fears remain over crisis's effect on Europe "

Lets Get Real:

If you want a CHEAP holiday go to Turkey, you get more for the pound.  On the economic side the Turkish Government has to learn that it can not beat the US, the US is an economic superpower, while Turkey is not, in other words Turkey should do what the US wants or face a economic meltdown. 

The Donald Show - Latest - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump calls fired aide Omarosa Manigault Newman a 'dog' and 'crazed lowlife'..The president again attacks Omarosa Manigault Newman, who has released a number of tapes from her time in the White House.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is sad to see how non Presidential Donald Trump is, he is the worst President since Richard Nixon, but Nixon has the benefit of a first class brain when it comes to international politics, he got out Vietnam, he developed a relationship with China, eased Cold War tensions, and was more liberal on the domestic front.  One can almost hear Democrats saying, come back Tricky Dickie, we take you over Donald Trump, even if you hated liberals.  At least Nixon kept his racist views to himself, as can be seen on his tapes, while the Trump is using words about a former Staffer that could be racist, with the exception that this blog does not have much time for Omarosa Manigault Newman, what earth made President Trump give her a job, he must have know what she was like from his show.  The Oval needs some decorum, and the Chief of Staff has to make sure no one is recording talks. 

London Terror Incident - Update - May Era

BBC News: Reports " A man has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after a car crashed outside the Houses of Parliament.  "
