Trump's America

So... what happens after Trump's fake voter fraud review finds that 3 million illegally voted? Hypothetically if Trump doesn't win the electorate in 2020, and the WH press secretary trots out there and says all the vote counts are wrong and Trump won... what happens then? Because I feel like this charade is a precursor to that.

He will try to put some "protections" in place to prevent it occurring in the future... Just spit-balling but maybe have GOP volunteers vet completed ballots & destroy those found to be fraudulent?!? Or maybe hire someone from NC GOP to assist in this regard...

That's not an outrageous idea. The GOP's main constituency is older Whites, and that demographic is declining in numbers. If they don't do something soon, by weight of sheer demographics alone the 2016 Trump win could be their last in a long, long time.

 
I think it is great the Intercept posted that. I eagerly look forward to see the first whistle-blowers turned in by the NSA/FBI and the outcome of the ensuing court-battle(s).

A number of the tools listed by the intercept would be grounds for dismissal from most Federal Agencies if found on an employee's personal computer. On top of that, there are the PRISM and other NSA programs that would facilitate tracking despite these protections. The FBI has been able to de-anonymize/track TOR users since at least 2014. There are also industry rumors the NSA has compromised the TOR network from inception...

If nothing else, I think our population will learn more about electronic privacy over the next 4 years than I ever expected... ;-)

 
That's actually been a growing feeling with me on these executive orders the last few days. You look at the wall, pipelines...etc....he doesn't have the ability to just sign a piece of paper and the next week dirt is moving. On both, he still has a major battle to go through to accomplish. The wall especially will need to go through funding...etc.

Many of these are not much more than showboating moves. It's a chance for him to look like he is the executive signing off on projects...etc. There is a chance he has no clue what kind of battle lies ahead on these things.

 
It is showboating, but it also a chance for him to publicly lambaste Congressmen that don't go along with every thing he wants and frenzy his base.

They need to make sacrifices for the country instead of doing the easy thing and supporting him just to get re-elected. Lets see if more than 2% of them will do that.

 
I taught Stats at UNL. This would be like one of the (very few) students I gave an F to being hired as my boss. This is so inbelievably f'ing backwards it's hard not to vomit.

Trump Complains Negative Press Means He Can't 'Enjoy' White House

President Donald Trump thinks that unfavorable media coverage of his first weekend in office has not allowed him to "enjoy" the White House, according to a Tuesday report by the Associated Press.

Trump believed that the media would cover him more favorably after he was inaugurated, according to an Associated Press report citing two anonymous sources close to the President, but instead believes it has worsened.

The President said that the negative press has not allowed him to "enjoy" the White House on his first weekend in office, according to an anonymous source who spoke with him also cited in the report.

In his Saturday remarks railing against the media, Spicer included a number of incorrect figures which were quickly highlighted as baseless. Trump, however, thought that Spicer's statement was not forceful enough, according to the Washington Post's report.

Spicer continued to condemn the media's treatment of Donald Trump in his first daily briefing with reporters from the White House on Monday, saying that it is "demoralizing" for the President to see unfavorable coverage.

"There is this constant theme to undercut the enormous support that he has," Spicer said. "I think it's unbelievably frustrating when you're continually told it's not big enough, it's not good enough, you can't win."

Here's the AP article.

Trump dogged by insecurity over popular vote, media coverage

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump holds the most powerful office in the world. But he's dogged by insecurity over his loss of the popular vote in the election and a persistent frustration that the legitimacy of his presidency is being challenged by Democrats and the media, aides and associates say.

Trump's fixation has been a drag on the momentum of his opening days in office, with his exaggerations about inauguration crowds and false assertions about illegal balloting intruding on advisers' plans to launch his presidency with a flurry of actions on the economy. His spokesman Sean Spicer has twice stepped into the fray himself, including on Tuesday, when he doubled down on Trump's false claim that he lost the popular vote because 3 million to 5 million people living in the U.S. illegally cast ballots.

"He believes what he believes based on the information he was provided," said Spicer, who provided no evidence to back up the president's statements. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have finalized their election results with no reports of the kind of widespread fraud that Trump is alleging.

If the president's claim were true it would mark the most significant election fraud in U.S. history — and ironically, would raise the same questions about Trump's legitimacy that he's trying to avoid. Yet Spicer repeatedly sidestepped questions about whether the Trump administration would investigate the allegations pushed by the president.

"Anything is possible," he said.
