Trump Campaign Demands CNN Retract, Apologize for Poll Showing Joe Biden Leading

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign demanded that CNN retract and apologize for a poll that showed Democratic candidate Joe Biden leading by 14 points. The campaign sent a cease and desist letter to CNN President Jeff Zucker Wednesday. The network immediately rejected the president’s demand. “We stand by our poll,” CNN spokesman Matt Dornic said.

In addition to showing Biden with a lead of 55 percent to 41 percent over Trump, the poll found the president’s approval rating to be 38 percent, the lowest it has been since January 2019, and his disapproval rating to be 57 percent.

So out of this 38% of people who still support him, after all his documented and proven idiocy/crime, how much of that 38% are Make America White Again people?

This actually might be useful tool to give us the percentage of the Racist Bigots living in the US plus or minus 3 percentage points.

That 38% of the American population still supports Trump after all the stupid, racist, fascist, criminal things he has said and done is beyond sad and says very bad things about America.

Trump Returns to Campaign Trail With Juneteenth Rally in Tulsa, Site of a Racist Massacre

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would hold a campaign rally in Tulsa on June 19th, his first since coronavirus precautions halted nearly all large events. The date and location of the rally are significant—June 19th marks Juneteenth, the anniversary of the emancipation of the last enslaved African-Americans in the Confederacy. Tulsa was the site of a racist massacre in 1921, when mobs of white people destroyed the Greenwood District, which was known as “Black Wall Street,” for being the wealthiest black community in the country. The attackers murdered dozens of Greenwood residents. Kamau Marshall, head of strategic communications for former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign, expressed outrage over the choice of date and place: “How racist is Donald Trump: He’s so racist that he plans on having one of his first campaign rallies on June 19th in Tulsa, OK. If you don’t know—Do some research on #Juneteenth and the racial violence that took place in Oklahoma known as the Tulsa Race Massacre, 1921.”

‘Gross abuse of prosecutorial power’: Court-appointed lawyer rebukes Barr’s handling of Flynn case

A retired federal judge appointed to argue against the Department of Justice’s move to drop criminal charges against President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn has recommended that the court proceed with sentencing.

He called the department’s request to drop the case “a gross abuse of prosecutorial power” in an attempt to “provide special treatment” to a “political ally of the president of the United States.”

‘WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN’: Michael Moore Warns Trump Will Use Coronavirus to Try to Postpone 2020 Election

“He’s read the polls. He sees the data that he’s probably going to lose. He knows it,” Moore told Seth Meyers.
After spending his first segment on Late Night with Seth Meyers expressing how hopeful the massive protests against police brutality were making him, Michael Moore took a very dark turn Wednesday night. 

Noting that Moore was one of the few public figures predicting that Trump would beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, Seth Meyers asked the documentary filmmaker how “worried” he is about the country’s ability to hold a fair election in the fall.

“I’m very worried about this. We all need to be very worried about this,” Moore said. He pointed to the giant fence that the president has erected around the White House this past week as an ominous sign of what’s to come. 

“We make jokes about this, but I think this is a dry run for the fall,” Moore added. Stressing that he has “no inside information” from Eric or Donald Trump Jr., he said, “I do believe that he’s now read the polls. He sees the data that he’s probably going to lose. He knows it. And so now he’s got to come up with something. And that something will be him trying to postpone the election.”

Donald Trump, hydroxychloroquine and the world's largest fund manager: A love story?
Does BlackRock explain Trump's strange affection for hydroxychloroquine — and a specific brand of COVID-19 test?


As the fiery social justice movement in the wake of George Floyd's death has forced news about the coronavirus pandemic off front pages across the country, President Trump's obsession with the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for COVID-19 has appeared to wane.

Though Trump might yet raise the drug's ghost — especially given the recent retraction of a study that appeared to seal the drug's fate — the motives for his ardor are still unclear. One explanation is that while the treatment might have been a dud against the coronavirus, it proved more effective against Trump's political troubles.

Another, however, lurks in the financial links between the president and pharmaceutical companies that produce the drug, including a previously unreported and apparently unrequited relationship between Trump and the CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest fund manager, whom Trump named to the White House coronavirus economic advisory council.

Trump has still never fully explained why he promoted the drug so forcefully for so long, going so far as to claim he himself took it daily for two weeks despite an outpouring of studies that found the treatment increased the risk of cardiac arrest and death, while providing no measurable benefits

It’s sad and comical that the President, you know, the person who is supposed to be held to higher standards, in his latest tweet to the Mayor of Seattle, called that “the anarchists must be stooped.”
The rest of an aware society just want him to stoop it, but maybe he’s just too stoopid to see it.

Trumps press secretary McLiar has said that the President is to busy running the country into the ground to make a comment on the events of the last few weeks, it's a wonder he ever comes out of the can where he does his best work, also does he really think anyone with half a brain likes him or would want to watch him cheat at golf

TRUMP'S FREUDIAN SLIP IS SHOWING!

‘That really just happened’: Trump slammed for describing the US Secret Service as the ‘SS’

The abbreviation commonly used for the U.S. Secret Service is USSS, but President Donald Trump used a different abbreviation in a June 11 tweet: SS. And he is being slammed for it on social media, as SS is typically used to describe Adolf Hitler’s notorious Schutzstaffel of Nazi Germany.

In German, Schutzstaffel means “protection squadron.” And in Nazi Germany during the 1930s, Hitler’s paramilitary SS were known for being incredibly vicious.

Trump tweeted, “Our great National Guard Troops who took care of the area around the White House could hardly believe how easy it was. ‘A walk in the park’, one said. The protesters, agitators, anarchists (ANTIFA), and others, were handled VERY easily by the Guard, D.C. Police, & S.S. GREAT JOB!”

He is the one who decided to hold a rally on the anniversary of and in the city where the Tulsa massacre of blacks by whites took place. He has been giving coded messages to his brownshirts for nearly four years, so why would this be any different?
