bipartisanreport--2020-09-28--Trump Suffers Dramatic Monday Meltdown Over NY Times Tax Leak

Over the weekend , The New York Times revealed that they had obtained a trove of President Donald Trump ’ s tax returns .
The documents reveal , among other startling details , that Trump only paid $ 750 in income taxes in both 2016 and 2017 .
In 10 out of the previous 15 years , he paid absolutely nothing in income taxes thanks to claiming huge losses on his tax returns .
Some of those huge losses underline an ongoing fight between Trump and the IRS , which is investigating a staggering $ 72.9 million tax refund that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the wake of supposed huge losses .
A ruling against him in that audit could mean a bill for Trump of over $ 100 million .
Trump promptly freaked out about the Times report on Monday morning .
On Twitter , he tried to characterize the report as little more than a smear campaign , but the facts are there .
The publication has the records , and they reveal , as the Times memorably notes , that Trump “ has been more successful playing a business mogul than being one in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Media , just like Election time 2016 , is bringing up my Taxes & all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information & only bad intent .
I paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled , like everyone else , to depreciation & tax credits .
Also , if you look at the extraordinary assets owned by me , which the Fake News hasn ’ t , I am extremely under leveraged – I have very little debt compared to the value of assets.
’ Any potential evidence for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ financial values for his assets is , of course , not immediately publicly available — we ’ re just supposed to take the serially and pathologically lying president ’ s word for it .
He claimed that he “ may ” release a financial statement , which he says “ is a very IMPRESSIVE Statement , and also shows that I am the only President on record to give up my yearly $ 400,000 plus Presidential Salary !
” Maybe so , but the Trump Organization has earned more than two years of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Service alone .
A recent Washington Post tally revealed that the Secret Service had paid the Trump family business over $ 1.1 million ( and counting ! )
in their quest to follow around the president at his properties .
As for his claim that he has actually paid very large amounts of taxes : according to the evidence , he did not pay large amounts of personal income taxes — at all .
After Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten made a similar statement , the Times noted that the claim that Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taxes ” seems to be “ conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security , Medicare and taxes for his household employees.
” Furthermore , Garten claimed that some of Trump ’ s taxes have been “ paid with tax credits ” — but that ’ s not how tax credits work .
They reduce tax bills ; they don ’ t actively represent any transfer of value to the federal government .
In other words — Trump is financially on the rocks , big time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ save him financially .
On Monday , Trump also repeated his anti-mail-in voting fearmongering and his brazenly ridiculous insinuation that Joe Biden might be on performance-enhancing drugs .

Some of those huge losses underline an ongoing fight between Trump and the IRS, which is investigating a staggering $72.9 million tax refund that Trump claimed (and received!) in the wake of supposed huge losses. A ruling against him in that audit could mean a bill for Trump of over $100 million.
Trump promptly freaked out about the Times report on Monday morning. On Twitter, he tried to characterize the report as little more than a smear campaign, but the facts are there. The publication has the records, and they reveal, as the Times memorably notes, that Trump “has been more successful playing a business mogul than being one in real life.”
On Monday, Trump tweeted, in part:
‘The Fake News Media, just like Election time 2016, is bringing up my Taxes & all sorts of other nonsense with illegally obtained information & only bad intent. I paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled, like everyone else, to depreciation & tax credits.

Any potential evidence for this claim of some kind of huge financial values for his assets is, of course, not immediately publicly available — we’re just supposed to take the serially and pathologically lying president’s word for it.
He claimed that he “may” release a financial statement, which he says “is a very IMPRESSIVE Statement, and also shows that I am the only President on record to give up my yearly $400,000 plus Presidential Salary!” Maybe so, but the Trump Organization has earned more than two years of presidential salaries via payments from the Secret Service alone. A recent Washington Post tally revealed that the Secret Service had paid the Trump family business over $1.1 million (and counting!) in their quest to follow around the president at his properties.
As for his claim that he has actually paid very large amounts of taxes: according to the evidence, he did not pay large amounts of personal income taxes — at all. After Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten made a similar statement, the Times noted that the claim that Trump has paid large amounts of “personal taxes” seems to be “conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees.” Furthermore, Garten claimed that some of Trump’s taxes have been “paid with tax credits” — but that’s not how tax credits work. They reduce tax bills; they don’t actively represent any transfer of value to the federal government.
In other words — Trump is financially on the rocks, big time, and no number of self-indulgent tweets will save him financially. On Monday, Trump also repeated his anti-mail-in voting fearmongering and his brazenly ridiculous insinuation that Joe Biden might be on performance-enhancing drugs.

The news of Donald Trump ’ s tax returns , leaked to The New York Times and revealed in a planned four parts , has rocked the political news world and left Trump in meltdown mode .
Part two was released on Monday night and focuses not on how much Trump paid or how much he owes , but how The Apprentice literally saved him from complete financial ruin .

Trump accepted Mark Burnett ’ s offer to appear in the reality television show at a time when he was flailing financially , having bankrupted many of his businesses , including his casinos .
He reported losses that totaled up to more than his profits throughout the 1990s .
Having “ written ” yet another ghostwritten book and appearing in a few commercials , as well as a half-serious bid for the presidency , Trump jumped at the offer .
‘ While the story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now well known , the president ’ s tax returns reveal another grand twist that has never been truly told — how the popularity of that fictional alter ego rescued him , providing a financial lifeline to reinvent himself yet again .
And then how , in an echo of the boom-and-bust cycle that has defined his business career , he led himself toward the financial shoals he must navigate today .
‘ Mr .

The story of Trump told on The Apprentice, the story of a rich businessman who had built his way back from bankruptcy, was all a sham.

Trump has never had a talent for business; he really is nothing more than a famous reality TV show host selling snake oil to unsuspecting targets.
‘There were seven-figure licensing deals with hotel builders, some with murky backgrounds, in former Soviet republics and other developing countries.

Of course, that’s mostly because he’s down in the polls and needs an excuse to draw on in case he loses, but it’s also so that his party doesn’t look like they’re trying to suppress the vote by hanging up the process in endless court cases. However, they are very much trying to suppress the vote, and Trump is trying to convince the courts to allow him to do that in a number of ways.
One of those ways is sending “poll watchers” purported to be necessary to ensure that no one casts a shady vote, although how this army of volunteers are supposed to recognize shady voting, or how they won’t simply call every non-Trump vote shady, is yet to be explained. Trump insisted on Twitter that there’s only one reason that Philadelphia will not allow him to send a group of poll watchers: they’re trying to steal an election. Of course, Trump is legally allowed to send two, but he’s insisting that isn’t good enough. The president has forgotten that whole “law and order” narrative he pushes.
‘Any party, political body or body of citizens entitled to have watchers at any primary or election is also entitled to appoint watchers to represent the party, political body or body of citizens at public sessions of the county board. (Such watchers must be qualified electors of the county.) Section 310(a)…The county board of elections may limit the number of watchers present at any one time to no more than three for each party, political body or body of citizens. Section 310(a).’ The law says that Trump is allowed to send two poll watchers and the Republican Party three, but that doesn’t appear to be enough for the frightened incumbent whose poll numbers are dismal. Pennsylvania is not stealing an election. They’re enforcing the law. Twitter was savvy to the problems with Trump’s pre-debate tweet. Read some of their comments below:

Donald Trump has a bizarre relationship with Russia ’ s President Vladimir Putin .

He said nothing when Russia poisoned an outspoken Russian advocate .
Why ?
The House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff ( D-CA ) has subpoenaed the president ’ s Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) .
Not only that , his committee also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the department ’ s intelligence office .
The reason for the subpoenas was that the DHS refused to work with Schiff ’ s Intelligence Committee .
Specifically , Schiff claimed that the DHS “ unlawfully obstructed ” one of the committee ’ s investigations into a whistleblower ’ s allegations .
Schiff tweeted , according to The Forbes magazine : One of the subpoenas orders the DHS to provide all the written and digital records related to the investigation by October 6 .
The second subpoena ordered the acting head Joseph Maher to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Schiff ’ s allegation was that the departmental officials prevented his committee from doing its work , investigating allegations brought by a former official in the agency Brian Murphy .

He said nothing when Russian military troops rammed our military vehicles and killed our Syrian allies, the Kurds, according to The New York Times. He said nothing when Russia poisoned an outspoken Russian advocate. Why?
The House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) has subpoenaed the president’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Not only that, his committee also subpoenaed Trump’s acting head of the department’s intelligence office.
Murphy’s allegations include “suppression of intelligence reports about Russia’s election interference:”
‘[T]he suppression of intelligence reports about Russia’s election interference and efforts to modify intelligence assessments to match Trump’s rhetoric on white supremacy, Antifa, and terrorism threats at the border.’
The reason for the subpoenas was that the DHS refused to work with Schiff’s Intelligence Committee. Specifically, Schiff claimed that the DHS “unlawfully obstructed” one of the committee’s investigations into a whistleblower’s allegations.
Schiff tweeted, according to The Forbes magazine:
‘They are effectively blocking the whistleblower from testifying and have failed to provide key documents. We will not tolerate DHS’s obstruction and attempts to run out the clock.’
One of the subpoenas orders the DHS to provide all the written and digital records related to the investigation by October 6. The second subpoena ordered the acting head Joseph Maher to testify before then, on October 2.
Schiff’s allegation was that the departmental officials prevented his committee from doing its work, investigating allegations brought by a former official in the agency Brian Murphy. The former employee came forward after he was ordered to quit “reporting on the Russian threat to the U.S. election:”
In a statement Schiff released, he wrote:
‘[T]he suppression of intelligence reports about Russia’s election interference and efforts to modify intelligence assessments to match Trump’s rhetoric on white supremacy, Antifa, and terrorism threats at the border.’
Schiff’s committee asked Maher to testify before them to explain under oath why the DHS was “preventing” an intelligence whistleblower from giving testimony. He also wanted to know why the DHS “failed to produce” the materials the committee had requested.
In addition, the Republican leader wanted to have Maher explain the reason he refused to answer questions about his “knowledge and involvement” in matters related to this investigation.

bipartisanreport--2020-09-29--Mueller Issues Rare Public Statement Hours Before 1st Debate

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has spoken out following the release of a book by Andrew Weissman , who served on the Mueller-led Russia investigation .
Weissman was critical of the team ’ s work — which he himself was a prominent part of — claiming that they frequently held themselves back or were held back by senior members on account of concern about potential political retaliation from Donald Trump .
In short , according to Weissman , the fear was that President Trump could order the disbanding of the team if they frustrated him enough .
In a new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to hear criticism of our team based on incomplete information , ” suggesting that Weissman may not have been privy to parts of the decision-making process that Mueller feels were key .
Mueller ’ s defense of his investigation also stands in stark contrast to the president ’ s own repeated complaints .
Mueller said : ‘ It is not surprising that members of the Special Counsel ’ s Office did not always agree , but it is disappointing to hear criticism of our team based on incomplete information… When important decisions had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I did so as I have always done , without any interest in currying favor or fear of the consequences .

Trump and his allies have claimed that the president achieved full exoneration via the conclusion of Mueller ’ s investigation , but in terms of the actual results of the probe , this claim just is not true .

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller has spoken out following the release of a book by Andrew Weissman, who served on the Mueller-led Russia investigation. Weissman was critical of the team’s work — which he himself was a prominent part of — claiming that they frequently held themselves back or were held back by senior members on account of concern about potential political retaliation from Donald Trump. In short, according to Weissman, the fear was that President Trump could order the disbanding of the team if they frustrated him enough. In a new statement, Mueller called it “disappointing to hear criticism of our team based on incomplete information,” suggesting that Weissman may not have been privy to parts of the decision-making process that Mueller feels were key.
Mueller’s defense of his investigation also stands in stark contrast to the president’s own repeated complaints. Mueller said:
‘It is not surprising that members of the Special Counsel’s Office did not always agree, but it is disappointing to hear criticism of our team based on incomplete information… When important decisions had to be made, I made them. I did so as I have always done, without any interest in currying favor or fear of the consequences. I stand by those decisions and by the conclusions of our investigation.’

Now, we find out that POTUS owes $400 million coming due soon. Suddenly, things begin falling into place.
US spies are always looking for signs of compromise. The Washington Post reported:
‘Security teams at U.S. spy agencies are constantly scouring employee records for signs of potential compromise: daunting levels of debt, troubling overseas entanglements, hidden streams of income, and a penchant for secrecy or deceit to avoid exposure.’
Former intelligence officials and security experts said there are serious questions about whether Trump can even keep the nation’s interests secret. He invited two Russians into the Oval Office and spilled some secrets.
Trump fought to keep his tax records hidden, but The New York Times uncovered them. Hillary Clinton must have found the moment delicious:
‘Trump once claimed he “can’t be bought.” In fact, he has hundreds of millions of dollars in debt imminently coming due. It makes him a national security risk. But then we already knew that about him.’
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said in an NBC television interview that Trump puts American’s security in jeopardy:

Former CIA chief of staff and current director of the Hayden Center for Intelligence at George Mason University, Larry Pfeiffer said:
‘From a national security perspective, that’s just an outrageous vulnerability there is no question my clearances would be pulled. All of that goes to how trustworthy a person is to hold highly classified, sensitive material.’
Pfeiffer continued:
‘My guess is there may be less detail provided about sources and methods. But presidents, by our norms and the fact that they have been elected, have access to classified information. You can’t take it to zero.’
Former CIA analyst and former Trump’s deputy director for Russia on the National Security Council Jeffrey Edmonds said:
‘It’s the hiding of a vulnerability that is a real indicator. The more you try to hide something like that, the greater lengths you will go to keep it concealed.’
Intelligence officials said Trump’s debts create a huge vulnerability and make him susceptible to manipulation:
Disorganized structure of his companies
Contempt for the tax code
Discrepancies in his valuations of assets
(Perceived) illegal practice of paying consulting fees to family members.
Only paid only $750 in taxes in 2016 and 2017

According to a new report in The Atlantic , President Donald Trump “ secretly mocks his Christian supporters.
” Based on his publicly known behavior , it ’ s not exactly surprising for there to be behind-the-scenes accounts of Trump belittling the religion of the people who have chosen , for whatever reason , to support him .

According to a new report in The Atlantic, President Donald Trump “secretly mocks his Christian supporters.” Based on his publicly known behavior, it’s not exactly surprising for there to be behind-the-scenes accounts of Trump belittling the religion of the people who have chosen, for whatever reason, to support him. Trump doesn’t even regularly attend church (Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden does, however). Among other examples, Trump’s former longtime “fixer” Michael Cohen told reporter McKay Coppins that on one occasion in 2015, Trump insisted to him that top conservative Christian leaders are “all hustlers.”
Writing in The Atlantic, Coppins summarizes:
‘[In] private, many of Trump’s comments about religion are marked by cynicism and contempt, according to people who have worked for him. Former aides told me they’ve heard Trump ridicule conservative religious leaders, dismiss various faith groups with cartoonish stereotypes, and deride certain rites and doctrines held sacred by many of the Americans who constitute his base.’
Rather than finding some kind of common ground with the espoused morals of their religion, Coppins writes that the idea from those who’ve been in the president’s inner circle is that Trump was more interested in using grifting as the common ground between him and certain top evangelicals. As Coppins writes, “From the outset of his brief political career, Trump has viewed right-wing evangelical leaders as a kind of special-interest group to be schmoozed, conned, or bought off.” Trump has secured the support of numerous prominent evangelicals during his time in the public spotlight, many of whom have simply written off his glaringly belligerent personal behavior.
According to Cohen, who shared this anecdote in his new memoir, after a 2011 meeting with conservative Christian leaders in which they laid their hands on him and prayed for him, Trump mockingly asked, “Can you believe that bullshit?”
Trump has even been somewhat blunt about his dubious connection to Christianity while speaking directly with certain conservative leaders. The Atlantic obtained a recording of a late 2016 meeting between Trump and top evangelicals in which he says that he doesn’t “know the Bible as well as some of the other people” and mockingly recounts his first encounter with his eventual vice president, Mike Pence.
Trump said:
‘The first time I met [Pence], he said, “Will you bow your head and pray?” And I said, “Excuse me? I’m not used to it.”‘
Citing sources including former Trump Organization executive Barbara Res, former campaign staffer A.J. Delgado, and the president’s own niece, Mary Trump, Coppins writes that “[to] those who have known and worked with Trump closely, the notion that he might have a secret spiritual side is laughable.” Again — this dubiousness shouldn’t exactly come as a surprise to anyone who has followed Trump’s behavior for any substantial amount of time. He has demeaned women, his political opponents, people of color, people from certain other (majority non-white) countries, and the list goes on.
Will there be any Christian movement away from Trump in the 2020 election? The Biden campaign seems to think it’s possible — they’ve bought ad space on Christian radio stations.

Wow .
Turnout among American voters is astounding .
Over 866,73 Americans have voted in what is now the 2020 election season , no longer just one day .

Of course , that does not reflect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political science professor Michael McDonald runs the project , and he wrote in his blog Saturday , according to The Newsweek magazine : There are quite a few variables that have led to this early voting .

That leaves the traditional Republican with few choices about where to turn. It is likely that they gave Trump a chance in 2016. Now, many have crossed over to the Democratic candidate Joe Biden as a more appealing option.
McDonald found that as the time for the 2016 election drew closer, the pace picked up:
‘[O]n October 2, 2016—at least 78,836 people had cast their ballot early in the reporting states, McDonald found. By October 16, 2016, that number had increased even further to be around 1.4 million voters.’
‘McDonald discovered an emerging idea of who these early voters favored: Out of the three states reporting party registration data—Florida, Iowa and North Carolina—the majority of early voters are Democrats (53.9). Republicans make up 16.7 percent, and those without a party affiliation make up 29.1 percent.’
The battleground states of Florida, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina indicated that Democratic voters have asked for more absentee ballots than Republicans or non-affiliated voters. As it turns out, McDonald found that Democrats appeared to take the coronavirus pandemic more seriously than Republicans.
The president told reporters on Wednesday:
‘Get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it, and, you know, who knows it better than anyone else? The Democrats know it better than anyone else.’

Donald Trump risked our children’s lives as a prop in his White House re-election reality show. We now know that children are carriers of the coronavirus as they go about their day. We also know not as many children catch the virus, but when they do it is a terrible death.
Trump sacrificed 624,890 kids who caught the disease and up to 16 percent of them died on the altar of his re-election. Due to the commander-in-chief’s incompetence and cruelty, 99,982 little bodies lie in their graves. Did the president care? The short answer is no. Otherwise, he would not have conned parents into believing that their kids would be safe in school. Our children are without a doubt not safe in schools.
In Royal City, Washington, Trump and his gang pushed officials to open the schools. The reason was to give an air of “everything is fine in River Cities across America.” Public health experts worried when senior White House officials manipulated the data, to “play down the risks of sending children back to the classroom.” Naturally, two weeks after schools opened their doors, the number of COVID-19 cases climbed. Cause and effect.
In fact, Trump’s officials tried to circumvent the Center for Disease Control and Protection (CDC). They sought out “alternate data” that supported the president’s case for a weakening pandemic and “little danger to children.”
Even the former head of the Coronavirus Pandemic task force Dr. Deborah Birx succumbed to POTUS’ pressure campaign. The C.D.C. has a strong reputation of being “the world’s premier public health agency.” It was deeply disturbed by the pressure coming out of the White House.
If schools are so safe, how is it that The New York Times reported a “beloved third-grade teacher at Brooklyn’s Public School 9,” died from the coronavirus? Sandra Santos-Vizcaino was the first New York City teacher to die from the disease. She worked to implement “yellow and pink hearts on the pavement” to show her kids where to stand and made certain desks were six feet apart. She said:
‘One day we will look back at this as a moment in time. [The chaos and uncertainty are] not forever.’
A former top Vice President Mike Pence aide quit so that she could speak out. Olivia Troye was pressured by the VP’s Chief of Staff Marc Short to come up with “more reports and charts showing a decline in coronavirus cases among young people,” The New York Times reported:
‘[S]he regretted being “complicit” in the effort. But she said she tried as much as possible to shield the C.D.C. from the White House pressure, which she saw as driven by the president’s determination to have schools open by the time voters cast ballots.’
She said the White House was hurting people’s lives for “whatever political agenda:”
‘You’re impacting people’s lives for whatever political agenda. You’re exchanging votes for lives, and I have a serious problem with that. I was appalled when I found out that Marc Short was tasking more junior staff in the office of the vice president to develop charts.’
White House spokesperson Brian Morgenster said he sought out people “who offer different expertise and views on a variety of issues:”
“President Trump relies on the advice of all of his top health officials who agree that it is in the public health interest to safely reopen schools, and that the relative risks posed by the virus to young people are outweighed by the risks of keeping children out of school indefinitely.’
A former senior public health official remembered Pence wanted:
‘[D]ata that could show the low risk of infection and death for school-age children — “a snazzy, easy-to-read document.”‘

bipartisanreport--2020-09-29--Obama Hits Trump While Down With Post NY Times Tax Leak Video Message

Former President Barack Obama has recorded a new video message on behalf of the Joe Biden presidential campaign .
In the message , he calls on black voters in particular to support Biden and , crucially , to vote early in order to avoid any later issues and make sure that their voices are heard .
Obama ’ s video message was set to be released through a website called The Shade Room , which PBS described as “ a website that often features celebrity and Black culture news and that interviewed Biden in March and again in June this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama says : ‘ As you know , the election is coming up , and I ’ ve got just one word for you : vote .
Actually , I ’ ve got two : vote early .
Right now , from the White House on down , folks are working to keep people from voting , especially communities of color .
That ’ s because there ’ s a lot at stake in this election — not just our pandemic response or racial justice , but our democracy itself .
So it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make your voice heard .
We can ’ t leave anything to chance… Now is the time to fight for what we believe in .
Let ’ s go out and win this thing.
’ The implication , of course , is that Obama wants folks to vote for Joe Biden specifically — it seems pretty consistently unlikely that anyone would get the opposite takeaway from his remarks .
Check out the video message below : Biden ’ s running mate , Kamala Harris , also recorded a video message for a black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ below : Obama has advocated for the Biden campaign in other contexts , and he has also advocated for folks to make their voices heard in the election as promptly as possible .
Many voters may be concerned about possible Coronavirus exposure at in-person polling places on Election Day , so mail-in voting has become increasingly relevant .
The Trump campaign has fought to restrict absentee/ mail-in voting — in Pennsylvania , for instance , they sued in an attempt to block the usage of drop boxes for mail-in ballots in the state @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allowed to remain .
Separately , Pennsylvania Republicans also recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause the implementation of a state court ruling allowing the extension of the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots by the state , a move that was meant to compensate for recent mail service slowdowns .
Trump has suggested that he may not accept the election results and ensure a peaceful transfer of power if he loses .
A large Biden victory could help insulate the results against Trump ’ s attacks .
Trump , for his part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
He has claimed that Democrats want to “ abolish ” the suburbs , and although this claim is a brazen lie — Democrats are not going to end single-family home zoning — Trump has claimed that without him in the White House , the suburbs could be “ invaded ” by low-income housing .
Low-income housing is , of course , often associated with marginalized communities like black Americans .
Trump ’ s remarks about the “ suburbs ” are thinly veiled race-baiting , and this nonsense is what he ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to re-election .

bipartisanreport--2020-09-30--Trump Launches Wednesday Night Twitter Rampage Over Debate Disaster

Donald Trump embarrassed himself and the country on Tuesday night , and his utter failure to simply debate an opponent on the issues was all over the news cycle on Wednesday .
Trying desperately to distract American voters , Trump went on Twitter rampages throughout the day insisting that he won , that his failures were the fault of moderator Chris Wallace , and that everyone and everything is just so unfair to him .
By early evening , he strayed off into other random tantrums .
For a president who rants and rails endlessly about biased news outlets , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one and to benefit him in the process .
A news outlet , which Fox News claims to be , should cover both sides of a presidential campaign , but Trump has excoriated them on numerous occasions for not sticking to his script and allowing him to feed them every sentence they broadcast .
Trump has been throwing himself a grievance party ever since entering office , but his criticism of Fox News shows to what extent Trump expects loyalty from his minions .
It ’ s an alarming view of the president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably not wish for more viewers for his debates , either .
Millions of people watching his meltdowns will not bode well for his campaign .
He ’ s lucky on that account , however , since the ratings were behind those from the 2016 debates , and Americans seem less eager to watch Trump throw tantrums these days .
Twitter was not sympathetic to Trump ’ s woes , nor did they wish to celebrate the ratings on his disastrous performance .

Just landed in Minnesota. Hasn’t been won by a Republican since 1972, and we saved Minneapolis. Also opened the massive and beautiful Iron Range, which Obama and Sleepy Joe closed. Thousands of jobs started back. They will close again. How can we lose? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2020
For a president who rants and rails endlessly about biased news outlets, he certainly expects Fox News to be one and to benefit him in the process. A news outlet, which Fox News claims to be, should cover both sides of a presidential campaign, but Trump has excoriated them on numerous occasions for not sticking to his script and allowing him to feed them every sentence they broadcast. Trump has been throwing himself a grievance party ever since entering office, but his criticism of Fox News shows to what extent Trump expects loyalty from his minions. It’s an alarming view of the president of the United States.
Trump should probably not wish for more viewers for his debates, either. Millions of people watching his meltdowns will not bode well for his campaign. He’s lucky on that account, however, since the ratings were behind those from the 2016 debates, and Americans seem less eager to watch Trump throw tantrums these days.
Twitter was not sympathetic to Trump’s woes, nor did they wish to celebrate the ratings on his disastrous performance. Read some of their comments below:

Pope Francis wrote about climate change in a letter of Catholic doctrine : The reason Pompeo wanted to visit the Vatican was to protest the renewal of a two-year-long deal between the Catholic Church and China ready for renewal .
For some reason , Pompeo thought he could tell the Church the deal would “ endanger the church ’ s moral authority.

There is a man who refuses to see Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. That decision seems appropriate given how the Donald Trump Gang has been bombing centuries-old traditions, breaking through laws as if they were water, and sent 206,918 innocent men, women, and children to their coronavirus graves.
Even though this man is quietly humble, he weilds great power from his self-contained entity in Rome. Pope Francis started out in Buenos Aires, Argentina as a scientist, according to PBS:
‘Once you’re a scientist, you’re always a scientist, and Pope Francis was once a scientist. In recent years, the pope’s outspoken views on issues like the environment seem to reveal his familiarity with life in a lab. Some scientists applaud his efforts to filter empirical knowledge into theology. But for others, Pope Francis embodies the Catholic Church’s long history of stopping short of being totally pro-science.’
The Pope has compared Trump to King Herrod. He was the guy in the Bible who ordered the murder of all the infants in Bethlehem, because he thought the infant Jesus was going to replace him.
Pope Francis wrote about climate change in a letter of Catholic doctrine:
‘Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day.’
The reason Pompeo wanted to visit the Vatican was to protest the renewal of a two-year-long deal between the Catholic Church and China ready for renewal. For some reason, Pompeo thought he could tell the Church the deal would “endanger the church’s moral authority.” Oh, please.
The secretary will travel to the Vatican along with Greece, Italy, and Croatia “to promote diplomatic relations and religious freedoms.”
Pompeo is scheduled to meet at the Vatican with “Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the foreign minister for the Vatican.”
Pompeo argued the Vatican should not renew its deal with China, His excuse is Xi Jinping’s administration facing accusations of religious persecution:
‘It is good to see that the morally inviolable USA puts religious freedom at the top of its agenda – if it did not how could they have any dealings with its friends in Saudi Arabia, or did I get something wrong there?’
The Holy See noted that the impending election as his reason for not seeing the Trump acolyte:
‘[Pompeo boasted] of the nefarious, illegal and immoral acts he carried out while in the CIA, including the gravest of crimes. As they were done in service of the USA they were by definition done by the good guys and so were magically transformed into moral acts. Thus he can – with no sense of being ridiculous- go to the Vatican and lecture the Pope on morality.’
In the encyclical, Pope Francis wrote that:
‘[T]he sustainability issues of growing populations could be addressed by redistributing wealth, fighting food waste, and stopping runaway consumerism.’
The reason for the deal between China and the Vatican is:
‘The deal allows the Vatican to have a say in the Catholic bishops appointed in China. Since the historic deal was agreed upon two years ago, two new bishops have been appointed in China after consultation with the Vatican.’
Pompeo wrote in an article this month, according to The Independent UK:
‘The human rights situation in China has deteriorated severely under the autocratic rule of Xi Jinping, especially for religious believers.’
The secretary claimed that:
‘[There are] credible reports [of] forced sterilizations and abortions of Muslims in Xinjiang [as well as] abuse of Catholic priests and laypeople.’
It appears that Trump and all his gang members will not be happy with planning to conquor America but dominate the whole world. Pope Francis may be small, but he moves mountains.The Vatican can see through his words.
Still, Pompeo continued with his futile arguments:
‘The Holy See has a unique capacity and duty to focus the world’s attention on human rights violations, especially those perpetrated by totalitarian regimes like Beijing’s in the late 20th century, the church’s power of moral witness helped inspire those who liberated central and eastern Europe from communism, and those who challenged autocratic and authoritarian regimes in Latin America and East Asia.’
He continued to argue:
‘What the church teaches the world about religious freedom and solidarity should now be forcefully and persistently conveyed by the Vatican in the face of the Chinese Communist party’s relentless efforts to bend all religious communities to the will of the party and its totalitarian program.’
