The 45th POTUS - Donald J. Trump

[elliseamos]

pretty sure he's winning points with most americans by unilaterally extending the UI benefit

it's not $600 but it's $400 and that's gonna save a lot of people, and it runs through December too

i wonder if chuck and nancy even considered this as a possibility in their game of chicken

Well its 300 and maybe your state has the other 100 for you. Don't hold your breath. Also, hope a hurricane or any disaster doesn't show up. Lastly, it may not even happen.

One of the measures Trump signed on Saturday aims to provide $400 in weekly unemployment aid for millions of Americans. Trump said 25 percent of this money would be paid by states, many of which are already dealing with major budget shortfalls. The federal contribution would be redirected from disaster relief money at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Those funds are not likely to last more than two months, and Trump would not say when the benefits would kick in.

After being abruptly rushed out of the White House press briefing Monday, President Trump came back to the briefing room, saying the situation “seems to be very well under control.”

He told reporters that he had been escorted out of the briefing because there was a shooting outside of the White House.

"I'd like to thank the Secret Service for doing their always quick and very effective work, but there was an actual shooting, and somebody's been taken to the hospital. I don't know the condition of the person. Seems that the person was shot by Secret Service, so we'll see what happens," Trump said.

Asked by CNN’s Jeremy Diamond if he was taken to the bunker under the White House, Trump replied, “no, we were taken just out to the oval office.”

The President was also asked if he was rattled, he said, “I don’t know, do I seem rattled?”

“I feel very safe with the Secret Service, they’re fantastic people, they’re the best of the best, they’re highly trained,” Trump told reporters. “They just wanted me to step aside for a little while just to make sure that everything was clear outside.”

A senior administration official confirmed to CNN's Dana Bash that there was active shooter and the shooter is in custody.

The incident happened at the corner of 17th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, just outside of the White House grounds and close to Lafayette park.

Trump abruptly departed the briefing room after a Secret Service agent approached him as he was speaking to the press and whispered something in his ear. "Sir, we’re just going to have to step outside," the agent can be heard saying.

"Excuse me?" Trump asked.

"Step outside," the agent said.

"Oh," Trump said before departing the room.

Trump said he never thought about not returning to the briefing after being rushed out.

CNN reporters at the White House report the complex is still under lockdown.

these kinds of articles get published constantly in America courtesy our free press, high standard of living, and consumption economy that supports careers like people hiding behind their laptops writing crybaby shit @ 8th grade book report quality

they especially come out after crises, like 9/11, 2008 financial crisis - and latest - coronavirus/Trump

and just like 9/11 and 2008 financial crisis - the crybabies were wrong

Last I checked, the Federal Reserve still exists, and is so powerful it even lends to other countries' central banks during crises

and the U.S. still has nuclear weapons stationed throughout the world on bases in other people's countries

and now we can throw on the pile too: Big Tech

so, I don't really see an argument about its influence abating until it is either no longer the lender of last resort to the developed world or no longer protecting half of it from Russian and Chinese aggression or no longer the primary engine for tech innovation on this planet

the rest is just cosmetic fluff

He'd just deny it and point to Pence anyway.



Or Hillary

It took Donald Trump all of what, 5 minutes to describe another woman as nasty. How 55% of the vote isn’t already locked up is beyond me.

Trump's claim that Mexico would pay for a border wall is not literally true, but the effort the Mexican National Guard is putting in to preventing central/ South Americans from getting into the US is directly paid by them regardless of whatever agreements we may have to support them.

No glittering monument results for him, so its a bit awkward to bring up for his followers still holding out for a wall.

This scenario might just as well occured under a Clinton administration, as locals in Tiajuana (and elsewhere) were tired of the caravan bullshit.

Trump's 2nd admin is pretty clear: annex Mexico so we have a readily controllable Southern border. Legalize all the drugs, and hire all the narcos for whatever CIA shit sounds fun.
