General Trump Administration F**kery Thread (2017-2021)

@Fahrenthold
One interesting part: @realDonaldTrump had argued that a lawsuit would distract him from his duties as POTUS. But judge notes that, while in office, Trump has found time to threatened lawsuits against Bannon, Stormy, Michael Wolff..

Michael Cohen tells VF about 4 instances in which he remembers Trump using racist language in private, including once when Trump apparently responded to a remark about the whiteness of his rallies by saying, 'black people are too stupid to vote for me.' http://vntyfr.com/ANweV6f

2:40 PM - Nov 2, 2018

This conversation, he noted, was reminiscent of an exchange that the two men had engaged in years earlier, after Nelson Mandela’s death. “[Trump] said to me, ‘Name one country run by a black person that’s not a shythole,’ and then he added, ‘Name one city,’” Cohen recalled, a statement that echoed the president’s alleged comments about African nations earlier this year. (White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders denied those comments at the time. She added that “no one here is going to pretend like the president is always politically correct—he isn’t.” She subsequently noted that it was “one of the reasons the American people love him.”)

Cohen also recounted a conversation he had with Trump in the late 2000s, while they were traveling to Chicago for a Trump International Hotel board meeting. “We were going from the airport to the hotel, and we drove through what looked like a rougher neighborhood. Trump made a comment to me, saying that only the blacks could live like this.” After the first few seasons of The Apprentice, Cohen recalled how he and Trump were discussing the reality show and past-season winners. The conversation wended its way back to the show’s first season, which ended in a head-to-head between two contestants, Bill Rancic and Kwame Jackson. “Trump was explaining his back-and-forth about not picking Jackson,” an African-American investment manager who had graduated from Harvard Business School. “He said, ‘There’s no way I can let this black f-g win.’” (Jackson told me that he had heard that the president made such a comment. “My response to President Trump is simple and Wakandan,” he said, referring to the fictional African country where Black Panther hails from. “‘Not today, colonizer!’”)

Trump lies that the caravans are "unvetted illegal aliens trying to flood into our country on your dollar, overwhelming your schools..." The caravan members plan to legally seek asylum. They will not overwhelm schools.

✔@ddale8

Trump is escalating. He says that "the lawless caravan" includes people convicted of armed robbery and sexual assault. He also claims that a reporter interviewed a man who "didn't speak English" who was wanted for "murder" even though he "looked nice." Is this a thing?

@ddale8
Trump lies that has "started the wall," then lies that he has secured $4.8 billion for the wall. (It's $1.6 billion for non-wall projects this year, $1.6 billion being considered for next year, and no third $1.6 billion.)

Trump lies: "The Democrats want to invite caravan after caravan...three more are forming."
