Before 2020, Lauder spent significantly more money donating to Republican groups. For example, CNBC noted that he donated at least $1.6 million to the National Horizons super PAC in 2018.
Eric Soufer, a spokesman for Lauder, suggested the reason for the billionaire’s 2020 absence is due to his efforts in helping European schools amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Since the onset of the pandemic, Mr. Lauder has been focused on rescuing the 35 schools he founded in Eastern Europe, among others, and covering the full tuition for families that have been devastated by the current economic and public health crisis.”
According to CNBC, Lauder’s Trump connections have received scrutiny from his Estee Lauder employees, some of whom recently pushed from his removal from the company’s board amid the George Floyd protests. In response to such criticism, Lauder pointed to his history of standing up against racism and anti-semitism.
Nevertheless, the report does not specify evidence that Lauder’s silence in 2020 is in any way related to Trump.

Kamala Harris Says That A Biden Administration Nationwide Mask Mandate Won’t Include Criminal Penalties

Kamala Harris said on Friday that the nationwide mask mandate Biden intends to enact if he ’ s elected president would not carry criminal penalties , NBC News reported .
Speaking to “ The Today Show , ” Harris brushed off the suggestion proffered by interviewer Craig Melvin , that the mandate could be backed up with the force of law .
“ It ’ s really a standard .
I mean , nobody ’ s gon na be punished .
Come on , ” the California senator said .
She also acknowledged the ongoing pushback against mask-wearing orders .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is a universal feeling , right ?
… The point is this is : What we , as responsible people who love our neighbor , we have to just do that right now .
God willing , it won ’ t be forever .
But this is a sacrifice we have to make , ” she said .
According to PBS NewsHour , a federal mask mandate would likely be difficult to enforce — a fact that the Biden-Harris ticket appears to understand .
That ’ s why the candidates have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ state level as well .
“ Every governor should mandate mandatory mask-wearing , ” Biden said earlier this month .
The Trump administration has urged Americans to wear masks but at the same time has resisted instituting a nationwide mask mandate .

As CBS News reported two weeks ago , the Democratic Party ’ s presidential nominee said that , if he were elected , he would institute a three-month mask-mandate .
He claimed that issuing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 40,000 lives in that time period alone .
Indeed , as previously reported by The Inquisitr , a computer model has projected that the number of coronavirus deaths in the U.S. by the end of the year could be reduced by 70,000 if the country adopted widespread mask-wearing .
Biden and Harris have taken mask-wearing to heart , often appearing with the face coverings .
They ’ ve also been diligent about practicing social distancing when they ’ re together , maintaining a distance of six feet or more between them .
Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing a face covering on rare occasions over the past couple of months .
During the same interview , Harris spoke in broader terms about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic , suggesting that Trump ’ s response has not been based on science , but on politics .
“ You make decisions that may not be in your personal , political best interests , but are in the interests of the people .
But he ’ s incapable of that , ” she said .

As photos of the day show, next to the president, the two placed Donald Trump Jr., which put Ivanka in a spot that made her difficult to get in group images.
Looking back, the author said she knew the whole idea was immature, but they didn’t want Ivanka to steal the attention.
“Operation Block Ivanka was petty. Melania was in on this mission. But in our minds, Ivanka shouldn’t have made herself the center of attention in her father’s inauguration,” she said.
As she wrote in the book, Stephanie and Melania felt that it should be Donald’s big day, but no one was willing to say that to Ivanka’s face. So they did what they could to push her aside.
Ivanka still managed to walk in the Pennsylvania Avenue inaugural parade with her family, which upset the first lady. The news is yet another revelation that adds to the rumors that Ivanka and Melania have a strained relationship that forces them to compete for Donald’s attention.
Stephanie’s book, Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady, is slated for release September 1.

“I want tanks and choppers,” he allegedly said. “Make it look like North Korea.”
In her book, Winston Wolkoff revealed her feelings on the purported vision.

Politico also claimed that The Apprentice creator Mark Burnett proposed to “light the sky with drones,” an idea Trump and his wife allegedly liked. Nevertheless, the aerial vehicles were never used due to their potential safety risks.
Trump famously became the first U.S. president in history to enter North Korea. Approximately one year after he met with the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, at the Singapore Summit, the first overseas meeting between leaders of the two countries took place.
Despite these historic events, Trump has received criticism for his purported affinity for Kim, a brutal dictator that ordered the deaths of his family members and other authoritarian leaders. As reported by The Hill, the late conservative writer Bre Payton used an appearance on The Hill’s Rising in 2018 to blast the president’s claim that he fell “in love” with Kim.
“I’ve long been disturbed with Donald Trump’s treatment towards the North Korean brutal dictator that we have. I think that this is shocking and appalling. You know, I actually interviewed someone who defected from North Korea a couple of months ago who shared her story.”

He also warned of the possibility that Democrats will end the filibuster, a Senate tactic used to obstruct the vote on a bill via political debate.
“People need to understand that the stakes of this election, is if Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House, and we don’t hold the Senate, Barack Obama said … that we should do away with the filibuster.”

A Saturday report from The Intercept spotlighted the purported role Attorney General William Barr is playing in “ weaponizing ” the Department of Justice to help Donald Trump win re-election in November .

Libertarian Rep. Justin Amash has been a vocal critic of both Trump and Barr for their purported authoritarian tendencies. As The Inquisitr reported, the Michigan congressman highlighted that the pair believe in the unitary executive theory, which posits that the U.S. Constitution provides any given president with broad power over the executive branch.
Amash also accused Barr of being one of the primary forces behind the surveillance state and said the attorney is a vehement supporter of warrantless searches and seizures.

In a piece for The Washington Post, columnist Marc A. Thiessen claimed that Trump’s appeal to Blacks at the RNC was an “outstanding start.”
“While Democrats spent most of their convention last week trying to fire up their lukewarm base, President Trump spent the first night of his convention working to expand his with a concerted appeal to African American voters.”
Thiessen noted that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s African American support lags behind Hillary Clinton’s in 2016, when she lost against Trump, and argued that the U.S. leader has an “outstanding record” he can point to when appealing to the demographic.

“The economic shock caused by the response to the pandemic wiped out one of the campaign’s key talking points — low Black unemployment,” the report read.
“And polls showed that most Americans of all races blamed Trump for increasing racial tensions after massive protests broke out about the killing of a Black man, George Floyd, in police custody.”
Still, the president continues to vie for the crucial voting bloc, which could help him win swing states where the battle for power in November will be close.

Striking could put pressure on Joe Biden to stop saying that he's going give *more* money to the police right now.
