Donald John Trump is no longer president: what does it mean for you?

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/457652-trump-mocks-appearance-of-protester-that-guys-got-a-serious-weight-problem


Lol, but our movement is built on love. So beat it fatso...
President Trump*on Thursday mocked the weight of a protester who briefly interrupted his rally in Manchester, N.H.

"That guy’s got a serious weight problem. Go home, start exercising," Trump said as the individual who interrupted Trump's speech was escorted out of the arena.

"Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem*than I do,”*Trump quipped. “Got a bigger*problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'"

Cameras showed multiple protesters being escorted out of the arena after the crowd began booing and chanting "U.S.A." The interruption came as Trump slammed Democrats, accusing them of demeaning law enforcement and describing their opponents*as "fascists and Nazis."*

Moments later, Trump continued with his usual remarks, telling supporters that his movement is "built on love."

The president often mocks and belittles protesters who are removed from his rallies, but*only sometimes comments*on their appearance.

Democratic presidential candidate*Andrew Yang, a former tech entrepreneur, recently*took*to the Iowa state fair, where he mocked Trump's weight.

"Like, what could Donald Trump possibly be better than me at? An eating contest?" Yang*asked this past weekend.

"Like, if there was a hot-air balloon that was rising and you needed to try and keep it on the ground, he would be better than me at that," he added.*“Because he is so fat.”

In May, British actress Jameela Jamil, a wellness and body positivity advocate,*called on Trump's critics*to stop "fat-shaming" him and focus on his policies instead.

What do his allies know that we don't? He is slowly losing it.

Biden allies float scaling back events to limit gaffes
Allies to*Joe Biden*have been floating the idea of altering the former vice president's schedule in an effort to reduce the gaffes he has made in recent days.

The allies, growing increasingly nervous about Biden's verbal flubs, have said it's an approach that's been suggested to campaign officials on the heels of the former vice president’s stumbles.

Biden has a tendency to make the blunders late in the day, his allies say, particularly after a long swing on the road, like he had last week in Iowa. They say something needs to be done to give the candidate more down time as the campaign intensifies in the fall.

"He needs to be a strong force on the campaign trail, but he also has to pace himself," said one ally who has talked to members of the campaign team and others in the broader Biden World about how to move forward.

The ally said it was unclear whether the campaign would make any changes to Biden's schedule, particularly because Biden was criticized recently for not doing as many events as his Democratic rivals.*

“I think you’ll see the same schedule and maybe even more Joe Biden,” one ally said. “Everyone wants to see Joe Biden be Joe Biden. If he’s held back in any way, that’s almost the antithesis of who he is.”*

“I think it’s the wrong approach,” the ally added.

Biden’s age — he’ll be 77 in November — has been seen by some as a liability ever since he launched his campaign earlier this year. While he has been billed by those around him as the most electable Democrat to take on*President Trump*next year, some wonder if he has the zeal to compete.

“A lot of people are nervous that he’s lost some of his mojo,” said one major Democratic donor. “They’re getting nervous about him going toe to toe with Trump. But the problem is, there doesn’t seem to be an alternative.”*

For now, Biden's biggest opponent appears to be Sen.*Elizabeth Warren*(D-Mass.). A New Economist–YouGov weekly tracking poll published on Tuesday showed Biden at 21 percent, leading Warren by just 1 point. She has been narrowing the gap in other polls, too.

“In light of ascending candidates like Warren and [New Jersey Sen. Cory] Booker who seem to be getting a stronger voice, the gaffes give credence to voters on the fence about him even as Trump has normalized worse language in public discourse,” said Democratic strategist Basil Smikle, former executive director of the New York state Democratic Party.

At the same time, Biden retains a solid, double-digit lead over Warren in South Carolina, according to a survey from the Post and Courier newspaper in Charleston and Change Research.

And aides say he doesn’t intend to change his approach.*

“Joe Biden has spoken his mind his entire life, which voters know and love about him,” said Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager. “He’s a real person, he’s authentic, and that will never change. He’s going to keep taking on Trump and making the case to voters about the stakes we face in this election, regardless of how the press chooses to cover him.”

Biden is on vacation this week in his home state of Delaware.*

Last week, he made a series of verbal blunders that overshadowed his swing through Iowa.*

Over the weekend, he mistakenly said he had met with students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., during his time as vice president. The school was attacked by a gunman more than a year after Biden’s term as vice president ended.

That gaffe came two days after he told an audience of Asian and Hispanic voters that “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”*

Biden told reporters after the event that he botched a comment he had made many times and that he meant to say “wealthy kids” instead of “white kids.”

“On the spot, I explained it,” Biden said. “At the very second, I explained it. And so the fact of the matter is that I don’t think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I meant.”*

That same day, Biden also erred during a speech at the Iowa State Fair: “We choose science over fiction. We choose truth over facts.”*

Trump has pounced on the gaffes, sensing an opening. He accused Biden of not playing with a “full deck” and later took it a step further.

“Does anybody really believe he is mentally fit to be president?” Trump tweeted. “We are ‘playing’ in a very big and complicated world. Joe doesn’t have a clue.”

But for now, those in Biden World say the former vice president and his campaign have no plans to change up his public events.

“We always knew there was going to be extra scrutiny,” the second ally said. “We knew he was going to be held to a higher standard. But it’s important to let Joe Biden be Joe Biden.”
 
That's cute on multiple levels..

As it turns out, the number was not connected to anyone who was hiring for the rally, KHOU.com reports.

In fact, it belonged to an 18-year-old recent high school graduate who said he had no role in the ad placement. Nor was he connected to the Trump administration or anyone trying to undermine the president.

The graduate said that since the posting, he has received phone calls, texts and voicemails littered with profanities.

He was unsure of who the ad's mastermind was. It did not appear to be connected to a booking company, either, according to Slate.
 

I read that about Biden, even his buddy Obama told not to run. I guess he see more than we know.

So the orange guy is offering to buy Greenland.

Trump: ‘$700M’ cost of Greenland is ‘hurting Denmark very badly’
President Trump on Sunday said that buying Greenland isn’t “No. 1 on the burner” but quipped that Denmark may want the US to take the world’s biggest island off its hands to save money.

“Well Greenland, I don’t know, it got released somehow, it’s just something we talked about,” Trump told reporters as he left his Bedminster resort to return to Washington, referencing a Friday Wall Street Journal article about the president’s flirtation with buying Greenland.

“Denmark, essentially, owns it. We’re very good allies with Denmark, we protect Denmark like we protect large portions of the world. And so the concept came up and I said certainly, strategically it’s interesting. And we’d be interested.”

Trump then suggested that Greenland was “hurting Denmark very badly” throwing out the figure that it cost the Danish government “$700 million.”

“So they carry it at a great loss. And strategically for the United States it would be nice,” Trump added.

The Danish have said that Greenland — which is semi-autonomous and has its own government — isn’t for sale.

The president said he might visit Denmark when he heads to Poland at the beginning of next month.

Danish PM hopes Trump 'isn't serious' about buying Greenland
“Not for this reason at all,” he said of the Denmark visit. “But we’re looking at it. It’s not No. 1 on the burner,” he said.

Trump’s tarmac talk Sunday firm up comments made earlier in the day by his top economic adviser Larry Kudlow.

Kudlow said he didn’t want to predict an outcome, but added, “I’m just saying the president, who knows a thing or two about buying real estate, wants to take a look at a Greenland purchase.”

Trump pointed out the same thing.

“Essentially it’s a large real estate deal,” he said. “But we’ll talk to them a little bit.”
 
You do know you're Canadian, right? There's been a significant disconnect between what's good for the U.S and what's good for Canada since that dude took office.
We're a pawn in a game of chicken the U.S has initiated against China (Eg The Meng/Huawei ordeal)

Of course the U.S media will spin this as a "win" for their local audience.

The rest of the world just can't wait for this to end. China just probably realized there's no "winning" against a delusional mythomaniac.

Is Trump stating that what happened in Crimea is Obama's fault to be celebrated too? How fucked up is it to blame him rather than oh, I don't know, the invading force?

Trump is the best thing that happened to George W. Bush, post-presidency.
