Hollywood stars have already decided that there is only one person to blame for the stock market crashing , and his name is Donald Trump .
As the stock market took a major nosedive on Monday , Hollywood liberals took a break from blaming the coronavirus on Trump to fault him for the decline in the stock market .
Rosie O ’ Donnell , who has been feuding with Trump for over a decade , kicked things off in the morning by simply writing , “ market down 1800 # RemoveTrumpNow.
” Bette Midler , another regular Trump-hater , went @ @ @ @ @ @ @ international financial institutions and that of his own cabinet .
Never one to miss out on a Trump-bashing session , actor and producer Rob Reiner tweeted , “ When facing a crisis having a Pathological Liar as President is deadly.
” Horror book writer Stephen King was so livid at Trump that he called him an “ idiot ” twice in the same tweet .
Comedic actor Patton Oswalt tried to make it seem like Trump has called both the coronavirus and the failing stock market “ fake news , ” even though @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and filmmaker Albert Brooks posted and then quickly deleted a tweet in which he falsely claimed that Trump has denied the plummeting stock market numbers .
“ As stocks crumble and people lose their savings and the oil market collapses this Trump guy still says it ’ s fake news .
Right up there with the other fake stories like World War II and the election of Trump , ” Brooks tweeted , according to Breitbart News .
This serves as a reminder that Hollywood liberals will blame absolutely anything on President Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do with it .
A health issue like the coronavirus is obviously beyond Trump ’ s control , and it was the panic over this disease that has been stirred up by the mainstream media that caused the stock market to fall .
The facts show that neither coronavirus nor the declining stock market have anything to do with Trump , but this doesn ’ t matter to liberals at all .
They won ’ t let little things like facts get in the way of them satisfying their anti-Trump blood-lust .

Bette Midler, another regular Trump-hater, went after the president’s handling of international financial institutions and that of his own cabinet.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-10--Democrat Strategist Threatens To Go After Trump’s Family Over Hunter Biden Pressure

A Democratic strategist who acted as a senior advisor on former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg ’ s failed presidential campaign just spoke out to say that he will go after Donald Trump ’ s family if Republicans continue to seek answers about Hunter Biden ’ s business dealings with Ukraine .
During an interview with MSNBC this past weekend , Timothy O ’ Brien threatened that there will be a “ scorched-earth ” crusade against President Trump ’ s children if Republicans “ make an issue out of Hunter Biden.
” “ If the Republicans really want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which is very low-hanging fruit that I don ’ t think most Democratic voters care about anyway , there is going to be a scorched-earth response aimed at all of the Trump children that is unlike anything they ’ ve experienced thus far in the media , ” said O ’ Brien , who acts as an executive editor at Bloomberg ’ s news conglomerate .
He went on to call the Trump family “ grifters , ” indicating that their wealth is not legitimate , according to The Blaze .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and this goes back generations , ” O ’ Brien said as he continued his rant .
“ Fred Trump made his money by intersecting with both the federal government and state government in New York .
Donald came up through New York , intersecting with local government and in Atlantic City.
” “ Now they are now in the White House , and all of them are dipping their faces into the till , ” O ’ Brien continued .
Host Joy Reid then asked O ’ Brien if his boss Bloomberg @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against the Trump family , to which he responded that it is “ important ” for voters to see how the Trump family has earned its billions .
“ I think it ’ s an important moment for the American people to be woke about how rampant the financial conflicts of interest are among Trump ’ s children and the president himself , ” O ’ Brien said .
Bloomberg endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden immediately after he dropped out of the race last month , and he has since expressed plans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sure Trump loses the election in November .
It ’ s both disturbing and sickening that MSNBC allowed someone to threaten the children of the president of the United States with no push-back .
Given how anti-Trump the mainstream media has always been , if Trump ’ s children were doing anything illegal or unethical , reporters would have already called them out for it .
This just goes to show that this year ’ s presidential election might just be the ugliest of it ’ s kind in modern history .
Anti-Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president from office , even if it means going after his family .
The Trump family needs our support now more than ever .
We can ’ t let the media get away with what they ’ re about to do to them .

During an interview with MSNBC this past weekend, Timothy O’Brien threatened that there will be a “scorched-earth” crusade against President Trump’s children if Republicans “make an issue out of Hunter Biden.”

He went on to call the Trump family “grifters,” indicating that their wealth is not legitimate, according to The Blaze.
“The Trump family are epic grifters, and this goes back generations,” O’Brien said as he continued his rant. “Fred Trump made his money by intersecting with both the federal government and state government in New York. Donald came up through New York, intersecting with local government and in Atlantic City.”
“Now they are now in the White House, and all of them are dipping their faces into the till,” O’Brien continued.
Host Joy Reid then asked O’Brien if his boss Bloomberg would fund this “scorched-earth” campaign against the Trump family, to which he responded that it is “important” for voters to see how the Trump family has earned its billions.
“I think it’s an important moment for the American people to be woke about how rampant the financial conflicts of interest are among Trump’s children and the president himself,” O’Brien said.
Bloomberg endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden immediately after he dropped out of the race last month, and he has since expressed plans to use his billion-dollar fortune to make sure Trump loses the election in November.
It’s both disturbing and sickening that MSNBC allowed someone to threaten the children of the president of the United States with no push-back. Given how anti-Trump the mainstream media has always been, if Trump’s children were doing anything illegal or unethical, reporters would have already called them out for it.
This just goes to show that this year’s presidential election might just be the ugliest of it’s kind in modern history. Anti-Trump Democrats will do absolutely anything to remove the president from office, even if it means going after his family.
The Trump family needs our support now more than ever. We can’t let the media get away with what they’re about to do to them.

Sanders Fires Back At Hillary After She Attacks Him – ‘Unlike Secretary Clinton, I Don’t Want To Relive 2016’

Bernie Sanders went on Fox News to do a town hall Monday night .
And on top on what you would expect from the Vermont socialist , he said some things that , surprisingly ( or maybe not ) would go over well in the White House .
During one of her HBO promo tours , Hillary Clinton recently said this about Sanders , “ He did not work until he was like 41 and then he got elected to something .
It was all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.
” “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in her obvious dotage ?
Also , if it was “ all just baloney ” and Hillary and Bill were Democrat national players during that period , did they campaign against him ?
Sanders responded at the town hall : “ Unlike Secretary Clinton , I don ’ t want to relive 2016 .
We ’ re in 2020 now.
” Bingo .
Translation : You got me in Philadelphia then .
Try it again , wretch .
Just try it .
When asked if he was likable ( Hillary assures he is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I would say on a good day , is my wife likes me , ” Sanders said to solid applause .
“ But also , if you guys look at some of the polling they do for United States senators , in most cases I turn out to be the most popular senator in the country.
” If the poll question is worded , “ Who is the most likable senator who wants to bring on an economic depression and who would generally destroy America ?
” then no doubt he wins hands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mourning after Elizabeth Warren Drops Out of the Race – ‘ I am Grieving ’ He ’ s probably referring to national polls where the person who wins gets about a 20 % likability rating .
In that kind of poll , it is very possible he was up against bright shining lights of sunshine and charisma like Liz Warren and Tom Steyer .
But at least he ’ s a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president who can put together a sentence without endorsing Donald Trump , picking a fight with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of “ AR-14s.
” That would be the other guy .

“Like”? Has she adopted Valspeak in her obvious dotage? Also, if it was “all just baloney” and Hillary and Bill were Democrat national players during that period, did they campaign against him?
Uh, no.

Sanders responded at the town hall: “Unlike Secretary Clinton, I don’t want to relive 2016. We’re in 2020 now.”

Key word there being “some.”
If the poll question is worded, “Who is the most likable senator who wants to bring on an economic depression and who would generally destroy America?” then no doubt he wins hands down.

That would be the other guy.

Man Brutally Assaulted For Wearing MAGA Hat Before Attacker Steals It – Suspect Now Facing Years In Prison

Liberals are constantly trying to make it look like supporters of Donald Trump are violent and deranged , but in reality , it ’ s leftists who often end up physically attacking those who think differently than they do .
This was sadly shown once again recently , when a man was assaulted in California for wearing a MAGA hat .
A man was using a restroom in Hermosa Beach last Labor Day while wearing a red hat with Russian writing on it , according to The Blaze .
Another man in the bathroom noticed the hat and asked what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told that the words translated to “ Make America Great Again , ” he completely lost it .
Police say that the man began punching the hat-wearer in the face repeatedly , causing him to fall to the ground .
This did not stop the attacker from continuing to punch him before stealing the hat and fleeing the scene .
After investigating , police arrested 32 year-old David Delgado , who appeared in court last week to plead no contest to one felony count of assault by means of force likely to produce @ @ @ @ @ @ @ facing four years in prison , and is set to be sentenced on May 28 in the Los Angeles County Superior Court , Torrance Branch .
We ’ re glad to see that he has learned the hard way that despite what liberals say , it actually is not acceptable to attack Trump supporters physically .
Unfortunately , this is far from the first time a Trump supporter has been violently assaulted for their political beliefs : These violent attacks on Trump supporters are a direct result of Democrats and the mainstream media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ crazed leftists think that harming them is the right thing to do .
Until the liberal media changes the way they report on Trump supporters , those who voted for the president will still be in danger when they express their admiration for him publicly .

Stephen Colbert is a late night television host who has become known for launching deranged attack after deranged attack on Donald Trump every night .
Last night , he went after the president once again , this time for his handling of the coronavirus outbreak .
In Colbert ’ s opening monologue on Monday , the leftwing host touched on a coronavirus tweet that Trump posted earlier in the day .
“ So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu .
It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year , ” Trump wrote .
“ Nothing is shut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on .
At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus , with 22 deaths .
Think about that !
” After imitating the President , Colbert said , “ OK , let me think about that .
You ’ re a monster.
” “ Here ’ s the thing , ” Colbert added .
“ We can criticize Trump ’ s golfing and tweeting .
But when he hunkers down and focuses on the problem , that ’ s when he really sucks.
” Not stopping there , Colbert shifted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disease Control ( CDC ) last week where he alleged that the “ vast majority ” of those who get the virus will recover .
“ Don ’ t worry , about a thing , because the vast majority of things are gon na be alright , ” sang Colbert , changing the lyrics to the classic Bob Marley song “ Everything ’ s Gon na Be Alright.
” Colbert also talked about Trump ’ s comment that he can handle the coronavirus because his uncle was a “ super genius ” professor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ MIT ) , according to Breitbart News .
“ I don ’ t care how smart your uncle was !
” Colbert shouted .
“ Epidemiology is not genetic !
You don ’ t get your mother ’ s eyes and your father ’ s PhD .
Knowledge does not get passed down in the family .
That ’ s why , no matter how much we all know it now , future generations are going to have to learn for themselves that you ’ re an idiot.
” It ’ s truly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ television in the past few years .
Gone are the days when Americans could take a break from politics to watch a late night talk show that would make everyone laugh , regardless of political affiliation .
These days , late night talk shows like Colbert are bitter , angry pieces of liberal propaganda that have thrown out the bulk of their humor in favor of ranting against the president in the craziest ways possible .
If Colbert thinks that he ’ s swaying people from voting for Trump again , he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he ’ s alienated every member of his audience who isn ’ t a radical leftist , so he ’ s preaching to the choir with his Trump attacks .
Colbert has ruined what little credibility he ever had by showcasing his Trump Derangement Syndrome every night , and his rants won ’ t impact Trump ’ s chances of being reelected come November .
Nice try , Colbert , but you ’ re wasting your time .

Congresswoman Maxine Waters told CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is a “liar,” who should “shut his mouth” when it comes to the subject of the coronavirus outbreak.
Waters said, “It’s been said over and over again that you cannot trust this president. Not only is he a liar, he does not believe in anything scientific.”
‘He needs to shut his mouth’
“So the President of the United States cannot be relied upon,” she added. “Someone said he needs to be quiet.”

There is a deadly virus shutting down everyday life in America and Democrats still insist they want the borders and ports of entry wide open.
“This bill imposes limitations on the President’s authority to suspend or restrict aliens from entering the United States and terminates certain presidential actions implementing such restrictions,” a summary of the No Ban Act reads.
The Act does include an exception for responses to safety or public health issues, but some Republicans have linked the bill to the coronavirus, arguing that it would slow the President’s ability to respond to such threats.
“The president ought to be able to keep potential terrorists from coming into our country, but now with this outbreak of coronavirus, the president also needs to have all the tools available to limit people coming in from countries with a high propensity of coronavirus,” Rep. Steve Scalise stated. “You wouldn’t want legislation that would make it more difficult.”
Even with the exception, The President would have to “consult with Congress” and provide a “compelling government interest” in order to implement any travel bans.
When confronted with a scenario earlier this week, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that even if he “had to” he wouldn’t “close down the borders.”

If They Had Their Way, Things Would Be Much Worse
If Democrats had their way and the No Ban Act was in full effect, President Trump would have been unable to implement restrictions from China or Iran without going through a resistance-driven Congress.
The travel bans put in place by the President, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have had a positive effect.
“I believe we would be in a worse position,” Fauci replied when asked to assess if the current state of affairs would be better or worse without the travel bans.
He added that more travel restrictions should be considered.
“We will see more cases and things will get worse than they are right now,” Fauci explained. “How much worse they get will depend on our ability to do two things: To contain the influx of people who are infected coming from the outside and the ability to contain and mitigate within our own country.”
Democrats don’t want to ‘contain the influx,’ they want to expand it.

CNN anchor Don Lemon had a veritable meltdown when his guest , former Ohio governor John Kasich , actually defended President Trump ’ s coronavirus address to the nation .
The President delivered a televised address from the Oval Office Wednesday night , striking a serious tone and updating the American people on measures the White House is taking in an attempt to slow the spread of the disease .
Kasich , not exactly a big fan of Trump ’ s , told Lemon he felt the address “ was fine.
” “ Look , I watched the address tonight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He did fine , ” Kasich said .
“ I ’ m glad he did the address tonight and I think that was important.
” Having zero tolerance for somebody on his show expressing a positive analysis of President Trump , Lemon proceeded to have an incredible meltdown , repeatedly shouting over Kasich and refusing to let him speak .
“ I ’ ve just got to say if the president came out to calm people ’ s fears , he didn ’ t do a good job of it because he had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ times !
” Lemon exclaimed , practically clutching pearls as he did .
“ And this has been going on long enough for them to get it straight !
We need straight , accurate information from this president and this administration and we ’ re not getting it !
” The tirade continued unabated .
It is , after all , the media ’ s sole intent to divide and panic the nation by casting President Trump as an incapable leader in a time of crisis .
“ I don ’ t understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” insisted Lemon .
“ He came out , gave an address that ’ s usually- that happens very rarely he doesn ’ t get it right ?
!
” When Kasich attempted to explain his view that the address accomplished what it needed to accomplish , Lemon again interrupted .
“ No , no you can ’ t , John !
” Lemon yelled , continuing to voice his opposition .
Social media was abuzz with reaction to Lemon ’ s juvenile display .
Townhall senior editor Matt Vespa noted that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having a total meltdown right now ” because Kasich dared to admit Trump ’ s address was fine .
Game show host Chuck Woolery said the display left him “ actually shocked.

CNN’s Jim Acosta Calls Trump Racist For Pointing Out Origin of Coronavirus – Just Weeks After He Did the Same Thing

CNN reporter Jim Acosta accused President Trump of ‘ xenophobia ’ for pointing out the foreign origins of the coronavirus , despite doing the same thing himself weeks earlier .
In an address to the nation from the Oval Office Wednesday night , the President updated Americans on what steps his administration is taking in order to blunt the spread of the disease .

“ That , I think , was interesting because I was talking to sources this evening , one of the points that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to get across to Americans is that this virus did not start here… ” So distraught was Acosta , that the only explanation he could dream up is that Trump ’ s reference to the coronavirus as foreign and from China must be his racism seeping through .
“ Now why the president would go as far as to describe it as a foreign virus , that is something we ’ ll also be asking questions about , ” he explained .
“ But it should be pointed out that Stephen Miller , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the president is one of the top domestic policy advisers and speechwriter , was a driving force in writing this speech and I think it is going to come across to a lot of Americans as smacking of xenophobia to use that kind of term in this speech.
” Advice to our readers – If you ’ re having a tough day , kick back , relax , and realize this : At least you ’ re not as embarrassing as Jim Acosta .
Not only is it idiotic to make the suggestion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is racist – you know , the way they do with most diseases ( see German measles , Ebola virus , etc . )
– Acosta is proving to be a world-class hypocrite .
In a tweet just weeks earlier , Acosta reported that officials in China were taking measures “ to contain the growing spread of Wuhan Coronavirus.

‘The virus will not have a chance against us’
“The virus will not have a chance against us,” Trump added.
Donald Trump’s address from the Oval Office Wednesday night is exactly what the nation needed to hear from its president in this trying time. Many Americans are afraid, unsure of what to think or even how to behave right now in their day-to-day routine.
President Trump sought to soothe those fears, offer some helpful guidelines and announce policies that might help the country through this rough time.
It was exactly what any respectable leader should have said.
🙏🏻Thank you for making that clear, President Trump. And for taking steps to ensure that all Americans are able to overcome this difficult but temporary situation.

Shame On Biden’s Staffer
For anyone on Joe Biden’s campaign team to undermine this, tells you plenty about how they intend to operate as we head into the 2020 presidential general election.
It has always been a Catch 22 for Trump. If he shoots from the hip, his critics say he’s being “unpresidential.” If he does what any Commander-in-Chief would in a time of crisis, as he did Wednesday night, Democrats find something wrong with that too.

President Trump deserves praise for doing what he could Wednesday to help navigate America through this unstable time–and shame on anyone on Joe Biden’s team who would seek to undermine that valiant effort.
You don't like Trump's speech on coronavirus? Show calm leadership. Don Lemon is panicking. We've been here before, friends, we lived through market crash of 2008. I saw friends go bankrupt. It's going to be rough. Saddle in. We got this. — Mike Cernovich (@Cernovich) March 12, 2020


thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-12--Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Trump’s ‘Remain In Mexico’ Policy

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of President Donald Trump ’ s “ Remain in Mexico ” policy , overturning a decision from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals .
The Trump administration ’ s “ Remain in Mexico ” policy , officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols ( MPP ) , ensures that asylum seekers stay on the Mexican side of the border while they wait for their asylum requests to be processed .
Last week , the policy was challenged by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals , and said that it would block the policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ border states over which it has jurisdiction .
Judges William Fletcher and Richard Paez said on February 28th that the “ return-to-a-contiguous-territory provision ” within US immigration law only applied to “ other aliens , ” a small category compared to the vast floods of migrants who arrived at the borders .
They added that the position also violates international treaties , as asylum seekers would potentially be sent to areas where they were subject to “ torture and persecution.
” Judy Rabinovtiz , a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unequivocally [ declare ] this policy to be illegal , ” and follow the decision of the Ninth Circuit .
“ Asylum-seekers face grave danger and irreversible harm every day this depraved policy remains in effect , ” Rabinovitz said .
However , this temporary hold was then overturned by the Supreme Court , who ruled that the “ Remain in Mexico ” policy could continue while litigation against it proceeds in the lower courts .
“ The application for stay presented to Justice Kagan and by her referred to the Court is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s April 8 , 2019 order granting a preliminary injunction is stayed pending the timely filing and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari , ” the Supreme Court wrote in an argument , noting that Justice Sotomayor opposed the application by the Trump administration for the temporary stay .
The Justice Department welcomed the decision , saying the order restores “ the government ’ s ability to manage the Southwest border and to work cooperatively with the Mexican government to address illegal immigration , ” adding that they are “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stay , which prevents a district court injunction from impairing the security of our borders and the integrity of our immigration system.
” The DoJ are exactly right .
The “ Remain in Mexico ” policy protects this country from illegal asylum seekers hopping across the border and escaping into the unknown before their cases can be checked to see if they do have a right to protection in the country .
Given the vast numbers of fraudulent cases that governments across the West are seeing , this first order by SCOTUS is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wait and hope that the lawsuit against it remains unsuccessful .

Ninth Circuit Ruled Against Policy
The Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), ensures that asylum seekers stay on the Mexican side of the border while they wait for their asylum requests to be processed. Last week, the policy was challenged by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and said that it would block the policy within Arizona and California, the two border states over which it has jurisdiction.
Judges William Fletcher and Richard Paez said on February 28th that the “return-to-a-contiguous-territory provision” within US immigration law only applied to “other aliens,” a small category compared to the vast floods of migrants who arrived at the borders.

Judy Rabinovtiz, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, said that the Supreme Court should “unequivocally [declare] this policy to be illegal,” and follow the decision of the Ninth Circuit.
“Asylum-seekers face grave danger and irreversible harm every day this depraved policy remains in effect,” Rabinovitz said.
