Donald Trump on the Hush Money and the 2016 Campaign - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump: Hush money 'came from me'..The president says payments were not from political funds, while his former lawyer said they amounted to a campaign contribution.  "

Lets Get Real:

When a President has to discuss hush money there are going to be political pitfalls, the Trump base so far is staying with the President, as long as the base stays then the Republicans on the Hill will support their leader.  The question is what does the Russian investigation have on Trump and can they get him to talk to them.  This is going to be a long drawn out process, and there is still a chance that Trump could walk away from it as Bill Clinton walk away from it in 1998.   The Democrats have to be careful that they do not draw the anger of the Trump base, that could get them out out in the November, Trump has made a lot of enemies in the elite press. 

  

Cohen on Trump and Russia - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, is said to be "more than happy" to speak to the inquiry into alleged collusion with Russia.  "

Lets Get Real:

The worry for POTUS is the fact that his former personal lawyer will talk to the Russian investigation and his lawyer is a well known Democrat, something most of the press on this side of the Atlantic seems to have missed, he has spent years in the defence of Bill and Hillary Clinton.   The next major step is the Mid Terms, if the Democrats take the House they could impeach Trump but the issue then moves to the Senate, that is a different matter, it would need Republicans to get rid of Trump, that will not happen if there is not more from the Russian investigation.   

The Left Wing NYT on Trump - Trump Era

New York Times: Reports " What does it tell you about Mr. Trump that he would choose to lead his campaign someone like Mr. Manafort, whom even on Tuesday he called a “good man”? It tells you that Mr. Trump is consistent, and consistently contemptuous of honesty and ethics, because he has surrounded himself with people of weak, if not criminal, character throughout his career.  "

Lets Get Real:

As I have noted in my previous posts the liberal TV and press are ALL over the story, they see this as another Watergate, anything to get rid of Donald Trump.   The Deep State and its many actors are out to get Trump, they have no interest in Democracy, this blog has no time for President Trump and his colourful staff or former staff, but the American people should decide the fate of POTUS not the liberal deep state.   The Russian investigation will go on for YEARS. 

Michael Cohen Guilty - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump's former lawyer says he and the president arranged hush money payments to influence the election.  "

Lets Get Real:

More Bad news for the Trump Oval, the President's former personal lawyer has done a DEAL with the FEDS over hush money to alleged women who had affairs with the President.   The use of campaign funds to keep the women  from telling their story is  against the law, the question is what happens NEXT.   The Democrats will use the issue in the Mid Terms and 2020 election.   The left in the Democratic Party want to impeach Trump if they win the House, the case would then go to the Senate, there the chances of success are slim. The left wing press are ALL over the story. 

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,
