<p>President Donald Trump’s son Eric said Friday evening that the campaign had raised nearly $15 million since Democrats officially started an “impeachment inquiry” earlier this week.</p>
<p>Eric Trump tweeted that the $15 million came from “small dollar donations (including 50,000 NEW donors).”</p>
<p>“UPDATE: We have now raised almost $15 million in small dollar donations (including 50,000 NEW donors) since <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi">@SpeakerPelosi</a> started this impeachment charade 72 hrs ago! Unbelievable numbers!! Keep it going — you and the dems are handing <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump">@realDonaldTrump </a>the win in 2020!” Trump tweeted.</p>

<p>As Trump alluded, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Tuesday that House Democrats would open an official “impeachment inquiry” into President Trump’s phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.</p>
<p>“The actions taken to date by the president have seriously violated the Constitution,” Pelosi said.</p>
<p>At the time, all that was known about Trump’s call was that there was a whistleblower — who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yup-looks-big-anti-trump-whistleblower-story-was-ashe-schow">hadn’t even heard the call</a> and was merely reporting a rumor — who claimed Trump said something alarming in a conversation with Zelensky. By Tuesday, it was claimed that Trump had demanded some sort of “quid pro quo” from Zelensky.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, however, the White House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-releases-transcript-of-phone-call-with-ukraine-president-justice-department-responds">released the transcript of the call</a>, which showed no alleged quid pro quo. The media, such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News’ Shepard Smith, cut a significant segment from the transcript to make it look like Trump asked Zelensky for a “favor” — to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>In reality, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dishonest-media-leaving-out-what-trumps-favor-from-ukraine-president-actually-was">reported</a>, the “favor” was for Ukraine’s cooperation with the U.S. as the Justice Department investigates the origins of what came to be known as Russiagate. This was the two-year-long investigation and claim by Democrats and their media counterparts that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. A special counsel investigation found no evidence to support the claims. Two separate DOJ investigations are now looking into how the claim came to be and why the Obama administration used weak information to obtain surveillance warrants on the Trump campaign.</p>
<p>Here is Trump’s actual request from Zelensky:</p>
<blockquote><p>I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people … The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the attorney general call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.</p></blockquote>
<p>The actual favor had nothing to do with Biden. After Zelensky responded to Trump, the president then mentioned Biden. At no time was a quid pro quo mentioned and Ukraine was not even aware that Trump was withholding military funds at the time of the call.</p>

Eric Trump Says Campaign Has Raised $15 Million Since Democrats Started Impeachment Talk

2020 Election

<p>On Monday night, late night left-wing-politico-who-masquerades-as-a-comedian Jimmy Kimmel went on a rant in which he branded Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell an “evil soulless odd creep,” called Republicans “cowardly” for refusing to appear on left-wing cable news shows after the mass shootings over the weekend, and finished with a flourish, referring to Trump supporters as people who have been “repeatedly punched in the head” and calling President Trump’s sons Donald Jr. and Eric the “Douches of Hazzard” for being fans of MMA fighter Colby Covington.</p>
<p>Kimmel began, “After another weekend of sadness and outrage in the United States, we had two more mass shootings — one on Saturday in El Paso, the other in Dayton Sunday morning — horrible senseless tragedies, again with many lives lost, and again our leaders in one party in particular are offering not much more than their thoughts and their prayers.”</p>
<p>Kimmel continued, “I was thinking and praying about it and both parties say, they say one thing, that we&#8217;re too divided, and this is something we hear a lot, that we need to find something we can agree on. Well, here&#8217;s something that we can agree on: Too many people are being shot with high-powered weapons. I think we agree on that. We agree on this, too: they did a poll last year; 97% of gun owners — these are gun owners — support universal background check. 97%. That&#8217;s unheard of. You can ask people, &#8220;Is ice cream delicious,&#8221; and not get 97%.”</p>
<p>Then Kimmel started getting truly nasty, not only calling McConnell names but boasting that McConnell should get his “bony gray ass” to work to pass bills Kimmel approved of:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, this evil soulless old creep, won&#8217;t even allow the Senate to vote on a bipartisan bill to require background checks for gun purchases a gun shows. There are two bills, each written by Democrats and Republicans together, because background checks, something we agree on, these bills, the bills passed in the House in February and to become law we&#8217;d have to pass them in the Senate too. But Mitch McConnell made sure the Senate couldn&#8217;t even vote on them, he didn&#8217;t bring them to the floor; they left for recess. So tell Mitch McConnell we have some good news. Call him and tell him the good news is we agree on something for a change: we agree that he needs to drag his bony gray ass into work to vote on these bills. Let&#8217;s start with that thing that we all agree on, and go from there, ok?</p></blockquote>
<p>Kimmel then segued to attacking Republicans for refusing to go on CNN, where they would likely be pilloried for not hewing to the leftist party line: “It&#8217;s unbelievable. Yesterday, 49 Republican members of Congress refused to go on CNN to talk about the shootings. Now the cops in Dayton ran into the line of fire to stop the guy shooting. The politicians were too cowardly to go on cable television to talk about it.”</p>
<p>Then Kimmel got really manipulative, implying that President Trump was so uncaring about the shootings over the weekend that he instead tweeted celebrating the release of A$AP Rocky from a Swedish prison. Kimmel stated, “And meanwhile, this is what our president was busy with this weekend.” He showed a clip of Trump’s tweet.</p>
<div class="embed tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>A$AP Rocky released from prison and on his way home to the United States from Sweden. It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!</p>

</div>
<p>One problem: the tweet was issued on Friday, before the shootings in El Paso and Dayton over the weekend.</p>
<p>Kimmel mocked Trump for tweeting a shout-out to MMA fighter Colby Covington. He continued, &#8220;Like many Americans who have been repeatedly punched in the head, Colby Covington is a big Donald Trump supporter. And there&#8217;s nothing Donald Trump loves more than people who love Donald Trump.&#8221; Kimmel then mocked President Trump&#8217;s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, for attending a Colby Covington match, calling them, &#8220;The Douches of Hazard.&#8221;</p>

<p>President Trump&#8217;s son Eric Trump appeared on &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; Wednesday morning to address his father&#8217;s ongoing public feud with the &#8220;Squad&#8221; of far-left Democratic freshman congresswomen — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ilhan Omar (MN), Rashida Tlaib (MI), and Ayanna Pressley (MA).</p>
<p>His father&#8217;s controversial statement urging leftist Democratic critics of the country to &#8220;go back&#8221; to where they came from, said Eric, captures the sentiment of a lot of Americans about those who repeatedly tear down the country. In the end, he argued, the rebuke of his father for attacking The Squad is about the Democratic Party having &#8220;no message&#8221; and disparaging patriotism at every turn.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, in a process that inolved its own controversies, the Democrat-controlled House voted 240-187 to officially condemn Trump&#8217;s comments directed at the so-called &#8220;Squad,&#8221; despite Democrats admitting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s rebuke of Trump for his &#8220;racist comments&#8221; <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress/long-day-partisan-warfare-house-just-beginning">broke</a> House rules forbidding accusing the president of racism or other personal insults.</p>
<p>But as his son&#8217;s comments on Fox Wednesday makes clear, the Democrats&#8217; official rebuke clearly hasn&#8217;t slowed Team Trump&#8217;s full-scale campaign to simultaneously slam the radical freshmen representatives and portray them as the new faces of the Democratic Party.</p>
<p>&#8220;I describe &#8216;The Squad&#8217; as an absolute clownshow,&#8221; Eric told Fox (video below). &#8220;Listen, back up two weeks: You had Kamala Harris call Biden a racist. Then all of a sudden you had &#8216;The Squad&#8217; call Pelosi a racist. Then all of a sudden they ask my father, &#8216;Is Pelosi a racist?&#8217; No, of course, she&#8217;s not racist. It&#8217;s just a term they like to use. Two nights later [Pelosi&#8217;s] calling my father [a racist]. This is what&#8217;s happening to the [Democratic Party], and it&#8217;s totally feeding into our hand. And I hope they keep on doing it because they&#8217;re not getting anything done. They throw out a word if anyone thinks differently than them, if anyone looks different than them, if anyone acts different, if anyone has different beliefs or thoughts&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They have no message,&#8221; he stressed, arguing that all the name-calling is &#8220;not going to work&#8221; in the face of the thriving economy. The group of radical Democrats, he said, is &#8220;the most hate-filled group,&#8221; cheering on those storming ICE offices and tearing down American flags and &#8220;saying anti-Semitic things every day.&#8221;</p>
<p>Asked specifically about his father&#8217;s tweets (below), which even some Republicans have criticized, Eric said he &#8220;loved&#8221; his point: &#8220;&#8216;If you don&#8217;t love our country, get out, leave,'&#8221; he said, paraphrasing his father. &#8220;We have it so great in America. &#8230; We are blessed to live in this country. And if you&#8217;re not happy about it, I like his message: Leave.&#8221;</p>

<p>The battle between Trump and The Squad ramped up last week when Trump came to the defense of Pelosi after Ocasio-Cortez suggested that the speaker was targeting her and her fellow freshmen because they were &#8220;women of color.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When these comments first started, I kind of thought that she was keeping the progressive flank at more of an arm&#8217;s distance in order to protect more moderate members, which I understood,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez told <a href="http://https//www.washingtonpost.com/politics/outright-disrespectful-four-house-women-struggle-as-pelosi-isolates-them/2019/07/10/a33c63a8-a33f-11e9-b7b4-95e30869bd15_story.html?utm_term=.93ce10c5c79b">The Washington Post</a> Wednesday in reference to Pelosi criticizing comments by the Squad. &#8220;But the persistent singling out . . . it got to a point where it was just outright disrespectful . . . the explicit singling out of newly elected women of color.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I deal with Nancy Pelosi a lot, and we go back and forth and it’s fine, but I think that a group of people is being very disrespectful to her,&#8221; Trump said in response. &#8220;I’ll tell you something about Nancy Pelosi, she is not a racist, and for them to call her a racist is a disgrace.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric over the weekend, tweeting: &#8220;So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!&#8221;</p>
<p>For that, Pelosi and her fellow Democrats voted Tuesday to condemn his &#8220;racist comments,&#8221; claiming they &#8220;have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color.&#8221;</p>

Trump Administration

<p>The owner of the Red Hen restaurant — the Lexington, Virginia, restaurant that booted then-Trump administration press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders last summer — has ridden to the rescue of a Chicago cocktail server who spit on Eric Trump last week, counseling Trump administration members who do not want to be assaulted to forget about dining out.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/restaurants-are-now-a-soundstage-for-our-national-spectacle-and-the-rules-have-shifted/2019/06/28/52401ef2-99b9-11e9-8d0a-5edd7e2025b1_story.html?utm_term=.d7048671cf5a">Stephanie Wilkinson penned an op-ed in The Washington Post</a> Saturday claiming, at first, that “no one in the [restaurant[ industry condones the physical assault of a patron,&#8221; but goes on to warn that Trump administration officials and others associated with President Donald Trump&#8217;s policies should know that assault and battery is a definite possibility every time they choose to patronize an unfamiliar establishment.</p>
<p>Eric Trump was sipping cocktails at the high-end Chicago bar, The Aviary, Tuesday evening when a server spit on him, according to <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/lightfoot-calls-out-worker-accused-of-spitting-on-eric-trump/5369532/">the local Chicago ABC news affiliate</a>. The Secret Service immediately stepped in to detain the woman, but Trump declined to press charges. Instead, she has been placed &#8220;on leave&#8221; by the restaurant while they determine how to handle the situation.</p>
<p>Trump called the incident &#8220;purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems,&#8221; and even Chicago&#8217;s newly elected mayor, Lori Lightfoot, condemned the attack, calling it &#8220;repugnant.&#8221; The Aviary <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/eric-trump-spit-on-the-aviary-statement-511839861.html">called the incident &#8220;troubling</a>,&#8221; and condemned their own server&#8217;s actions, though not in the strongest possible terms.</p>
<p>Wilkinson, readers may recall, asked Huckabee Sanders, point blank, to leave her restaurant back in June 2018. Huckabee Sanders complied with the Red Hen proprietor&#8217;s wishes, but later tweeted about the incident. Wilkinson defended herself and her decision, and even said the move was good for business, though the city of Lexington, Virginia, disagreed, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/town-where-sarah-huckabee-sanders-was-kicked-out-red-hen-forced-launch-1102716">telling Newsweek in September</a> that it was forced to spend money on a tourism campaign after being hit with a barrage of bad PR.</p>
<p>Wilkinson, in her op-ed, said that while assault is never acceptable, the &#8220;rules are changing,&#8221; and customers expect the institutions they patronize to ascribe to a code of &#8220;ethics&#8221;: &#8220;The once-ubiquitous idea that companies exist purely and solely to provide profit to shareholders is withering away like corn husks in the summer sun.&#8221;</p>
<p>That &#8220;culture of ethics&#8221; apparently includes giving employees free reign to express their political ideologies while clocked into their day jobs, even if that &#8220;expression&#8221; is actually &#8220;assault and battery.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The rules have shifted. It’s no longer okay to serve sea bass from overfished waters or to allow smoking at the table. It’s not okay to look away from the abusive chef in the kitchen or the handsy guest in the dining room. And it’s not okay to ask employees, partners or management to clock out of their consciences when they clock in to work,&#8221; Wilkinson writes.</p>
<p>&#8220;The high-profile clashes rarely involve one citizen fussing at another over the entrees. It’s more often a frustrated person (some of whom are restaurant employees) lashing out at the representatives of an administration that has made its name trashing norms and breaking backs,&#8221; she continues. &#8220;Not surprising, if you think about it: You can’t call people your enemies by day and expect hospitality from them in the evening.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t want to be &#8220;held accountable&#8221; for your actions by the people who serve you food or make your drinks, Wilkinson argues, it&#8217;s best if you simply stay home — and that&#8217;s all the fault of the Trump administration who, Wilkinson says, started it.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s quite the argument. Wilkinson doesn&#8217;t seem to consider that there are others, perhaps in her own restaurant, quietly eating her food and drinking her drinks, that are opposed to her political ideals. Or that the tables could, some day, turn; Wilkinson is willing to support the abuse of Trump administration officials, but probably doesn&#8217;t feel the same about a server who might refuse to serve a pro-abortion politician, even though such a person would fit well within her protected class.</p>
<p>Wilkinson, instead, believes she&#8217;s able to dictate who can be the victim of an attack because she&#8217;s on the &#8220;right side.&#8221;</p>


Red Hen Restaurant Owner Defends Server Who Spit On Eric Trump At Chicago Cocktail Bar

Sarah Huckabee Sanders

<p>After an anti-Trump woman spit in Eric Trump&#8217;s face at a bar in Chicago on Tuesday evening, the famous son decided not to press charges against the woman and apparently directed her to &#8220;have a nice evening.&#8221;</p>
<p>Former Navy SEAL and pro-Trump pundit Carl Higbie said he spoke privately to Trump about the incident during an appearance on Newsmax TV.</p>
<p>“I love how the Left wants to rationalize this as, depending on your level of outrage is your level of justification here. … There’s no reason to ever do this,” Higbie started. “Also, the other thing, too … I talked to Eric about this today, and I wasn’t gonna say anything on TV, but I talked about it with him today and was like, ‘Dude, what’s up with that?’ And he was like, ‘Honestly, they were hauling her off to jail and I was like, you know what, tell her to have a great evening.’”</p>
<p>“That’s what kind of guy he is,” Higbie continued. “He’s a classy dude.”</p>
<p>The pundit noted that he’s seen Trump harassed in public before.</p>
<p>“This is something that really bugs me, because he’s a good dude and he doesn’t get any credit for it,” the former SEAL emphasized. “This guy is someone who’ll have your back no matter what, whether he knows you or not. I mean, what he’s done for Saint Jude, what he’s done in his career for other people,” he highlighted.</p>
<p>The video post on Higbie’s account has a mere 629 views, but is “liked” by Trump.</p>
<p>In June 2018, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital confirmed that Trump helped to raise a stunning $16.3 million for the hospital over the past decade.</p>
<p>“I am amazed by the many ways that you have personally embraced our cause and cared for our children and families,” Richard C. Shadyac Jr., the president of the St. Jude’s fundraising organization, said of Trump in a letter <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/06/us/politics/eric-trump-charity-st-judes.html">provided</a> to The New York Times. “As you are aware, we are expanding our lifesaving work and are working to push cure rates even higher in this country and around the world, while improving the lives of survivors by developing and advancing treatments that reduce side effects. We are only able to do this because of the support provided by donors and supporters like you.”</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/25/secret-service-take-chicago-bar-employee-into-custody-after-she-spits-on-eric-trump/">confirmed</a> by Breitbart News earlier in the week, Trump did not press charges against the assailant.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems,” Trump told the outlet in a phone interview, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48871/chicago-bar-employee-spits-eric-trump-secret-james-barrett">reported</a>. &#8220;For a party that preaches tolerance, this once again demonstrates they have very little civility. When somebody is sick enough to resort to spitting on someone, it just emphasizes a sickness and desperation and the fact that we’re winning.”</p>
<p>The assailant was reportedly placed on leave from her job at the Chicago bar after the incident and a GoFundMe account has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48919/gofundme-set-woman-who-spit-eric-trump-ashe-schow">established</a> on her behalf.</p>

Eric Trump&#8217;s Alleged Reaction To Getting Spit On By Anti-Trump Woman Will Shock You

<p>A bar employee who was placed on leave after she allegedly spit on Eric Trump now has a GoFundMe established on her behalf.</p>
<p>The unidentified server was immediately detained by the U.S. Secret Service after the encounter. Now, a man claiming to be her friend has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the woman until she finds a new job.</p>
<p>&#8220;My friend allegedly spat on Eric Trump and got fired. That&#8217;s what happens when we bring the crises from our neighborhoods to the people causing/getting rich off those crises,&#8221; wrote the friend, identified only as Brian. &#8220;I want to make sure she&#8217;s good to go until she finds a new job, and that she won&#8217;t have to worry about paying any legal fees etc. Throwdown to support this young badass who wasn&#8217;t going to let some jagoff bully get away with his nonsense.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re trying to keep her anonymous for now, to keep her and her family safe, so you&#8217;re not going to find her name here. This stuff might all blow up or her name might get leaked or whatever, so this page might disappear. Stay tuned on other social media to keep tabs on what&#8217;s happening,&#8221; Brian added.</p>
<p>There is no evidence Eric Trump, the second son of President Donald Trump, was acting as a &#8220;jagoff bully&#8221; or disruptive in any way.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/48871/chicago-bar-employee-spits-eric-trump-secret-james-barrett">previously reported</a> that Trump was at the upscale Chicago lounged Aviary with a group of people when the server allegedly just walked up to him and spit in his face.</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/25/secret-service-take-chicago-bar-employee-into-custody-after-she-spits-on-eric-trump/">told Breitbart News</a> after the incident that the incident was evidence of &#8220;desperation&#8221; on the part of opposition.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;For a party that preaches tolerance, this once again demonstrates they have very little civility. When somebody is sick enough to resort to spitting on someone, it just emphasizes a sickness and desperation and the fact that we&#8217;re winning.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/restaurant-group-spitting-eric-trump-placed-leave">reported</a> Wednesday that the Alinea Group, which owns the bar where the incident occurred and others, released a statement regarding the minor altercation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last night an unfortunate incident occurred between an employee at The Aviary and Eric Trump,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;We did not witness the incident and we are just beginning to learn the details.&#8221;</p>
<p>The group also called the response from both sides of the political spectrum &#8220;troubling.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The online discussion about the incident is troubling. Hundreds of people are calling for the demise of our business, threatening our employees, and posting fake reviews&#8230; they are wrong to do so based on the actions of a lone individual,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
<p>&#8220;So too, however, are those people wrong who are praising this as an act of civil disobedience. We have voices and the means to be heard. A degrading act lowers the tenor of debate. To some it might feel good, but it is unlikely to serve any larger purpose,&#8221; the statement continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;We hope this incident can, at least, serve to illuminate the current absurdity of the discourse in our politics. As fellow Americans and citizens, we should all aim higher.&#8221;</p>

GoFundMe Set Up For Woman Who Spit On Eric Trump

Chicago

<p>In a bar in Chicago Tuesday evening, a woman believed to be an employee of the establishment spit in the face of President Trump&#8217;s son Eric Trump and was promptly detained by U.S. Secret Service. The &#8220;disgusting act,&#8221; said Eric Trump, &#8220;just emphasizes a sickness and desperation and the fact that we&#8217;re winning.&#8221; Meanwhile, critics of Trump are celebrating the gross act of disrespect.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/25/secret-service-take-chicago-bar-employee-into-custody-after-she-spits-on-eric-trump/">Breitbart News</a>, who spoke with Trump after the incident, &#8220;sources familiar with the matter&#8221; said that the president&#8217;s son was at the upscale lounge Aviary with a group of people when an employee of the bar, described as a &#8220;young woman,&#8221; walked up to Trump and spit in his face.</p>
<p>Secret Service sprang to action and took the bar employee into custody. &#8220;She was put in handcuffs and placed in a police paddy wagon, a source with knowledge said,&#8221; Breitbart reports. &#8220;Eric Trump decided not to press charges against the woman in the end, and she was released from police custody.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It was purely a disgusting act by somebody who clearly has emotional problems,&#8221; Trump told Breitbart in a phone interview that evening. &#8220;For a party that preaches tolerance, this once again demonstrates they have very little civility. When somebody is sick enough to resort to spitting on someone, it just emphasizes a sickness and desperation and the fact that we&#8217;re winning.&#8221;</p>
<p>NBC News Chicago&#8217;s Mary Ann Ahern first reported the incident in a series of posts on Twitter. &#8220;Hearing of incident at Aviary tonight, an employee allegedly spit on son of [Donald Trump] who is visiting Chicago, offender now in US Secret Service custody,&#8221; wrote Ahern. &#8220;Police presence outside Aviary after alleged incident between an employee and Eric Trump around 8:30pm,&#8221; she wrote along with a photo of the police vehicle.</p>

<p>In response to the news, many online critics of Trump &#8212; including several blue checks, as <a href="https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2019/06/26/sick-people-blue-checks-react-with-glee-after-secret-service-detains-woman-for-spitting-on-eric-trump/">Twitchy</a> notes &#8212; are celebrating the gross act of disrespect. &#8220;I&#8217;m a parent of three and I would support them spitting on Eric Trump,&#8221; wrote one blue check. &#8220;We went from heckling Eric Trump tp spitting on him in two and a half years. Don&#8217;t tell me progress isn&#8217;t possible,&#8221; wrote another.</p>
<p>The targeting of Trump&#8217;s inner circle in public places has been common over the last two years. One of the moments that got the most attention occurred in June 2018 at the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, where the owner of the restaurant told White House Press Sec. Sarah Sanders, who was there with her family, to leave, a move that sparked a <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/32391/backlash-against-red-hen-booting-sarah-sanders-james-barrett">protest</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a business, and I want the business to thrive,&#8221; the owner told The Washington Post. &#8220;This feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals.&#8221; She explained that several of her employees who are gay told her they were upset about Trump&#8217;s call for banning transgender people in the military. At their behest, she told Sanders that &#8220;the restaurant has certain standards that I feel it has to uphold, such as honesty, and compassion, and cooperation. I said, &#8216;I&#8217;d like to ask you to leave,'&#8221; she said. She also admitted that Sanders responded respectfully and even offered to pay for the food being prepared but yet to be delivered.</p>
<p>But Sanders&#8217; father, Mike Huckabee, said that the owner failed to give the full story. &#8220;There&#8217;s a part of that story that has not been told,&#8221; Huckabee told Laura Ingraham. &#8220;Once Sarah and her family left &#8212; of course Sarah was asked to please vacate &#8212; Sarah and her husband just went home, they&#8217;d had enough. But, the rest of her family went across the street to a different restaurant. The owner of the Red Hen &#8212; nobody&#8217;s told this &#8212; then followed them across the street, called people and organized a protest, yelling and screaming at them from outside the other restaurant and creating this scene.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actions of the owner prompted a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/32391/backlash-against-red-hen-booting-sarah-sanders-james-barrett">rather wild protest</a> of the restaurant and the backlash compelled the owner to resign from her role of director of a local non-profit group focused on promoting businesses in the city. It also inspired a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/32238/trump-unloads-restaurant-booted-sarah-sanders-james-barrett">rebuke</a> from President Trump. &#8220;The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!&#8221; he tweeted.</p>

Chicago Bar Employee Spits On Eric Trump, Secret Service Springs To Action; Eric Trump Responds

<p>The New York Post&#8217;s gossip column, Page Six, reports Tuesday that President Donald Trump&#8217;s son, Donald Trump Jr., may be considering a bid to replace Bill de Blasio as New York City mayor.</p>
<p>In a short &#8220;whispers&#8221; item, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2019/05/20/donald-trump-jr-wants-to-run-for-mayor-of-new-york-city/amp/">the Post suggests that Trump Jr.</a> is putting feelers out to gauge whether it&#8217;s worth it to make a bid for NYC&#8217;s top office.</p>
<p>&#8220;Political families beget dynasties. Take Gov. Mario Cuomo&#8217;s kid, Gov. Andrew. Add a pile of Roosevelts, wall-to-wall Kennedys, more Bushes than they have in Cypress. Clintons might gear Chelsea for office. We had multiple Daleys in Chicago, assorted Tafts from Ohio, Jerry Brown and daddy Pat both grabbed California governorships. Plus leave us not overlook those Rockefellers,&#8221; the Post says. &#8220;Comes now Donald Trump&#8217;s son. Drums are beating that Donald Jr. would like to run for mayor. Of where? Where else?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kiddies, mother is saying friends are saying he is saying he&#8217;d like to run for mayor of New York City,&#8221; the paper declares.</p>
<p>He&#8217;d only be fulfilling his father&#8217;s lifelong dream of getting his name on the mailbox at Gracie Mansion, but the time may have passed for a Trump to helm New York City&#8217;s city government. The Trump name is now synonymous with the Republican Party, and NYC isn&#8217;t likely to elect a Republican, no matter which name the &#8220;R&#8221; on the ballot comes after.</p>
<p>But Donald Trump Jr. would have to <em>win</em> the race to be mayor of New York City to cause problems for Bill de Blasio who is, inexplicably, out on the trail campaigning for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, despite his lack of popularity in his own city.</p>
<p>De Blasio&#8217;s campaign has been centered on attacking Donald Trump, and <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/16/de-blasio-campaign-donald-trump-1328257">according to Politico</a>, while that&#8217;s doing little to attract people to his cause, it is stoking the flames of a feud between de Blasio and the White House.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a New Yorker. I&#8217;ve known Trump&#8217;s a bully for a long time. This is not news to me or anyone else here,&#8221; de Blasio says in his campaign video, released last week. &#8220;And I know how to take him on.&#8221;</p>
<p>The president took notice, tweeting, &#8220;The Dems are getting another beauty to join their group. Bill de Blasio of NYC, considered the worst mayor in the U.S., will supposedly be making an announcement for president today. He is a JOKE, but if you like high taxes &amp; crime, he&#8217;s your man. NYC HATES HIM!&#8221;</p>
<p>Certainly, the Trumps who live in NYC aren&#8217;t fans. Donald, Jr.&#8217;s brother, Eric got into a &#8220;heated&#8221; exchange with de Blasio <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/443688-eric-trump-de-blasio-get-in-heated-exchange-over-new-york-citys-green">on Twitter last week</a> over claims that de Blasio&#8217;s &#8220;Green New Deal&#8221; is designed largely to punish successful corporations, fining companies like the Trump Organization millions to pay for a scheme of socialist environmental policies. De Blasio claimed the GND wasn&#8217;t personal, but his office tweeted out a list of NYC-based Trump properties and how much each would be charged to finance the mayor&#8217;s new plan.</p>
<p>The exchange eventually got so heated the president got involved, retweeting his son&#8217;s responses to de Blasio, including a tweet where Eric Trump accused de Blasio of <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/05/15/trump-retweets-erics-attack-on-de-blasio-for-s-t-leadership/">letting New York City &#8220;go to sh*t.</a>&#8220;</p>
<p>Karma seemed to follow the current mayor who was forced to hold a press conference inside the Trump Tower, when his original plan &#8212; to hold the conference on the sidewalk and street outside the building, with the Trump Tower name visible in the background &#8212; fell through because of weather.</p>
<p>Having to face a Trump at home after having to bow out of the national contest for the Democratic nomination would only be adding insult to injury for the currrent New York City mayor, whether Donald Trump Jr. had a chance to take the mantle or not.</p>


REPORT: Donald Trump Jr. May Run For Mayor Of New York City

Bill de Blasio

New York City

<p>Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio finally made it official on Thursday: He&#8217;s running for president, making him the 24th candidate vying for the Democratic presidential nomination to take on Donald Trump in 2020 &#8212; and the president welcomed the &#8220;beauty&#8221; to the crowded field in classic Trump fashion.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Dems are getting another beauty to join their group,&#8221; Trump tweeted Thursday morning. &#8220;Bill de Blasio of NYC, considered the worst mayor in the U.S., will supposedly be making an announcement for president today. He is a JOKE, but if you like high taxes &amp; crime, he&#8217;s your man. NYC HATES HIM!&#8221;</p>

</div>
<p>Trump&#8217;s comments about residents of New York City &#8220;hating&#8221; de Blasio is an apparent reference to some problematic polls for the progressive mayor, as the <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/05/16/bill-de-blasio-officially-launches-2020-presidential-campaign/">New York Post</a> highlights:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>De Blasio has the dubious distinction of being the only candidate or potential candidate out of 23 contenders to earn a negative rating among national Democrats in a March Monmouth University survey. A total of 24 percent gave him a thumbs down while just 18 percent had a favorable view of him. At home, the numbers are even worse. A staggering 76 percent of Big Apple voters <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/04/06/new-york-thinks-de-blasios-got-no-shot-at-2020-presidential-election/">don&#8217;t think he should run</a>, according to an April Quinnipiac University Poll.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In his announcement video released Thursday, de Blasio actually jokes about New Yorkers being &#8220;really pissed off at you.&#8221; &#8220;Good thing about New Yorkers is they look the same whether they&#8217;re really pissed off at you or they like you,&#8221; he says while riding through the city in the back of a vehicle with the window down.</p>
<p>The mayor tweeted out the video &#8212; which is a bit more upbeat and creative than most of his competitors, at least for the first half &#8212; by underscoring the theme of his campaign: &#8220;Working People First.&#8221;</p>
<div class="embed tweet">

<p>Some of the ways he suggests he has proved that he will &#8220;put working people first&#8221; is by implementing the magical $15 minimum wage, guaranteeing sick leave, expanding health and mental health coverage &#8212; because &#8220;healthcare is a human right&#8221; &#8212; and offering free pre-K programs. He&#8217;s also pushed his climate change agenda, as he recently attempted to promote in the lobby of Trump Tower to <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/news/47143/watch-de-blasio-forced-hold-green-new-deal-presser-james-barrett">rather disastrous results</a>.</p>
<p>And, of course, de Blasio presents himself as the guy most capable of taking on the big &#8220;bully&#8221; in the Oval Office. &#8220;I&#8217;m a New Yorker. I&#8217;ve known Trump&#8217;s a bully for a long time. This is not news to me or anyone else here,&#8221; he says. &#8220;And I know how to take him on.&#8221;</p>
<p>After touting various ways he&#8217;s fought back against Trump, including insisting on sticking with the Paris climate change agreement after the U.S. pulled out, de Blasio declares his anti-bully motto: &#8220;Don&#8217;t back down in the face of the bully &#8212; confront him, take him on.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also vows to &#8220;take on the wealthy&#8221; and the corporations to redistribute wealth, saying, &#8220;There&#8217;s plenty of money in this world. There&#8217;s plenty of money in this country, it&#8217;s just in the wrong hands.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/47234/our-great-city-has-gone-s-under-you-eric-trump-joseph-curl">The Daily Wire</a> noted Wednesday, one of Trump&#8217;s sons also recently offered his rather low opinion on de Blasio. After de Blasio tweeted, &#8220;You and your dad have spent decades evading taxes and stiffing your workers,&#8221; Eric Trump responded: &#8220;First you have never created a job in your life. Second, our great city has gone to shit under your leadership. Crime is up, the men &amp; women of the NYPD detest you, homelessness is rampant, our streets are dirty and people are leaving our city in record numbers.&#8221;</p>

De Blasio Announces He&#8217;s Running For President; Trump Has Some Thoughts

Climate Change

Democratic Party

Global Warming

<p>President Trump&#8217;s son, Eric Trump, went on a Twitter tirade this week, ripping far-left New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and saying that the city has &#8220;gone to s***&#8221; under the mayor&#8217;s leadership.</p>
<p>The tirade came after de Blasio held a press conference Monday to promote his own &#8220;Green New Deal&#8221; that will &#8220;ban classic glass and steel skyscrapers,&#8221; among other &#8220;inefficient&#8221; things. The mayor was supposed deliver his message in front of New York City&#8217;s Trump Tower, but was forced by protesters to move inside to the lobby.</p>
<p>&#8220;His buildings are one of the biggest polluters in New York City,&#8221; de Blasio said of President Trump. &#8220;Cut your emissions or we&#8217;ll cut something you really care about: We&#8217;ll take your money.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a post on Twitter, de Blasio wrote: &#8220;Spare me. You and your dad have spent decades evading taxes and stiffing your workers. NYC&#8217;s Green New Deal is one law the Trumps won&#8217;t get away with breaking. Fix your buildings or pay the price.&#8221;</p>

<p>On the day of the mayor&#8217;s press conference, Eric Trump also laid into him.</p>
<p>&#8220;1/4 The fact that the Mayor of a major city would attack an iconic organization (which employs thousands of hardworking New York taxpayers) for his own political gain is an abuse of power, unethical and simply counterintuitive,&#8221; he wrote.</p>

<p>&#8220;(3/4) @NYCMayor if you ever think there is an initiative that would be great for New York, I would be happy to come to city hall and visit you anytime. But forcing a pop-up press conference in our lobby is simply childish,&#8221; he said further.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, de Blasio&#8217;s press conference did not go as planned.</p>
<p>&#8220;Trump Tower staff turned up the dial on the PA system just moments before the mayor entered the 5th Avenue building,&#8221; the New York Post reports. &#8220;Tony Bennett&#8217;s &#8216;Stranger in Paradise&#8217; and Frank Sinatra&#8217;s &#8216;I&#8217;ve Got You Under My Skin&#8217; blasted through the speakers during the event.&#8221;</p>

‘Our Great City Has Gone To S*** Under You’: Eric Trump Gets In Wild Twitter Fight With NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio

<p>President Donald Trump, members of the Trump family, and the Trump Corporation filed a second lawsuit over House Democrats&#8217; subpoenas Monday, this time in an effort to stop Deutsche Bank and Capital One from turning over Trump financial documents to congressional investigators.</p>
<p>Last week, Trump and the Trump Corporation <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/46270/president-trump-sues-house-democrats-halt-demands-emily-zanotti">filed suit against House Democrats</a>, demanding that a federal court halt Democrats&#8217; flurry of subpoenas to White House officials and Trump Corporation associates and quash a subpoena directed at an accounting firm that handles Trump&#8217;s personal financials. The Trump family also filed a follow-up suit against the accounting firm in an effort to prevent them from complying with any subpoenas that escaped the court&#8217;s control.</p>
<p>Now, the Trump family is moving to stop a series of subpoenas, from the same House Committee, designed to seek information on how and why Deutsche Bank and Capital One continued extending the Trump Corporation lines of credit in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when other financial institutions had clearly blacklisted the company.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/29/us/politics/trump-lawsuit-deutsche-bank.html#click=https://t.co/ostwIMb1Kh">The New York Times reports</a> that plaintiffs &#8212; Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and the family&#8217;s privately held corporation &#8212; &#8220;argue that the Democratic House committee leaders who issued the subpoenas engaged in a broad overreach.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This case involves congressional subpoenas that have no legitimate or lawful purpose,&#8221; the complaint reads. &#8220;The subpoenas were issued to harass President Donald J. Trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses and the private information of the president and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage. No grounds exist to establish any purpose other than a political one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Democrats specifically want access to Trump&#8217;s Deutsche Bank accounts, because of a conspiracy theory that has persisted since Trump&#8217;s election: that Russian bigwigs used Deutsche Bank as a clearing house to fund Trump&#8217;s real estate investments, thus explaining why Deutsche Bank was able to lend Trump money even when other banks were backing off.</p>
<p>The Trump family&#8217;s argument in both suits are the same: particularly in light of the Mueller report that cleared the Trump 2016 presidential campaign of any collusion with Russian officials, there&#8217;s no real reason to demand the Trumps&#8217; financial documents other than to embroil the White House in an ongoing defensive campaign.</p>
<p>In previous filings the Trumps are more clear, calling the Democrats&#8217; objective a &#8220;declared all-out political war,&#8221; and subpoenas simply a &#8220;weapon of choice&#8221; in battle.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear how the suit will shake out. Congress is given broad leeway to pull documents and issue subpoenas, but allowing the House Democrats access to decades of financial information that may only be marginally relevant to, say, a possible violation of the Constitution&#8217;s Emoluments Clause, sets a strange precedent.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also the question of what Democrats really need. So far, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Elijah Cuimmings (D-MD) and others have sent at least 80 subpoenas to Trump affiliates, former White House aides, and &#8220;key witnesses&#8221; to what they believe is Trump malfeasance, and the Democrats promise dozens of investigations over the course of the next two years. At some point, the objective becomes far too broad.</p>
<p>Hearings on both suits are expected in the next few weeks.</p>


Trump Family Sues Deutsche Bank, Capital One To Prevent Them From Complying With Dem Subpoenas

Ivanka Trump

<p>Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, urged his father on Tuesday to declare a national emergency in order to secure funding for his border wall.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/eric-trump-national-emergency-border-wall_us_5c51992ce4b0d9f9be6b1ea3">HuffPo</a>, the president&#8217;s son voiced support for a national emergency while speaking with Sean Hannity of Fox News.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want him to declare an emergency,&#8221; Eric Trump said.</p>
<p>The Fox News host replied, &#8220;Oh, I think he will.&#8221;</p>
<p>President Trump reopened the government last Friday after a 35-day partial shutdown, the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Now that Congress will not fund his desired border wall, Trump&#8217;s supporters have now pivoted to the idea of declaring a national emergency. The president has threatened to shut down the government again come February 15 if Congress sends him another bill without border wall funding. In declaring a national emergency, military construction funds would be redirected for the wall.</p>
<p>&#8220;If we don&#8217;t get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on Feb. 15 again or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution of the United States to address this emergency,&#8221; President Trump said.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Eric Trump said that Americans will support his father declaring a national emergency so long as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) refuse to &#8220;negotiate something that&#8217;s fair.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Honestly, if they don&#8217;t, declare the emergency and build the wall with the United States military because that&#8217;s what people in this country want,&#8221; Eric Trump told Hannity. &#8220;And then redouble your efforts on legal immigration, get great people in this country because that&#8217;s what America wants and that&#8217;s what America needs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Reactions from Republicans on the national emergency option has been somewhat mixed. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday called it &#8220;<a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/427153-rubio-trump-declaring-national-emergency-for-border-wall-a">a terrible idea</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I hope he doesn&#8217;t do it,&#8221; Rubio told NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221; &#8220;It&#8217;s just not a good precedent to set in terms of action. It doesn&#8217;t mean that I don&#8217;t want border security &#8213; I do. I just think that&#8217;s the wrong way to achieve it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t mean that I don&#8217;t want border security,&#8221; Rubio continued. &#8220;I do. I just think that&#8217;s the wrong way to achieve it. It doesn&#8217;t provide certainty. And you could very well wind up in sort of a theatric victory at the front end and then not getting it done.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the best way to do it is to have a law passed that funds border security so we know it&#8217;s going to happen.&#8221;</p>

<p>According to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/28/americans-dont-want-trump-to-use-national-emergency-for-border-wall.html">CNBC</a>, Americans and the GOP are largely split on the idea of President Trump circumventing Congress regarding the border wall.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Seventy-one percent of Republicans say Trump should use an emergency declaration. In contrast, 93 percent of Democrats and 66 percent of independents oppose the action.</p>
<p>One poll earlier this month taken during the shutdown found a slight majority of voters did not want Trump to bypass Congress. Thirty-six percent of respondents <a data-type href="https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/16/trump-government-shutdown-border-wall-national-emergency-poll-1102366" target>to a Politico/Morning Consult poll</a> supported an emergency declaration, while 51 percent opposed the move.</p>

<p>Sen.

Eric Trump Urges Father To Declare A National Emergency Over Border Wall Funding

Republican Party

Southern Border

<p>Consumer confidence is up across the board, and the Trump Administration insists that the economy is doing well, but there&#8217;s one brand that&#8217;s not following the market: the Trump brand.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-businesses-take-a-hit-as-the-brand-has-lost-its-mojo-2018-12-23">Wall Street Journal&#8217;s Marketwatch</a> reports that the president&#8217;s namesake hotels, golf courses, condominium developments, and wineries are having a tough time making ends meet. The brand, they say, has &#8220;lost its mojo.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;From golf fees and licensing deals to prices for Trump condos, many metrics used to gauge his business in the first two years of his presidency are down as the divisive comments and policies so beloved by his political base have turned off a group just as dear to him &#8212; the affluent who fuel his businesses,&#8221; Marketwatch reports.</p>
<p>The downturn can&#8217;t be fully quantified, but it appears to extend beyond just Trump hotels. The president&#8217;s golf courses in Scotland and the United States have posted losses and the price to own a condominium in a Trump building has dropped about 14% in both New York and Chicago, even as housing prices in both cities continue to rise.</p>
<p>The source of the problem may be easy to pinpoint: the same political volatility that has marked Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency carries over into the corporate world. Hotel guests and golfers fear they&#8217;re making a political statement by staying at Trump properties and frequenting Trump courses.</p>
<p>There are other factors in play, though. Democrats have been intensely focused on Trump&#8217;s businesses, and have demanded a strong separation between the Trump White House and the Trump brand, which severely hampers the brand&#8217;s ability to do business.</p>
<p>&#8220;Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric have said that new limits their father has placed on his businesses, such as agreeing not to strike any new business overseas, have indeed slowed deal-making. But they said that might be the price to pay for their father being president,&#8221; Marketwatch reports.</p>
<p>Ivanka Trump was even forced to shut down her signature clothing and accessories brand to avoid the impression that she was dividing her attention between the country&#8217;s needs and her business&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Those restrictions are on top of a series of investigations, including an anticipated Congressional investigation, into whether Donald Trump has unjustly enriched himself using the office of the president in violation of the Constitution&#8217;s &#8220;Emoluments Clause.&#8221; Democrats, who are set to take over the House in just a few days, have said they intend to make an &#8220;Emoluments Clause&#8221; investigation a top priority and that they plan on subpoenaing the president&#8217;s personal tax records going back decades.</p>
<p>But if things have dropped off a little for the Trump family, it hasn&#8217;t shown. The Trump brand is still, the WSJ reports, pulling in more than $400 million in revenue per year, and $40 million of that is from the president&#8217;s Washington, D.C. hotel alone.</p>


BUST?: The Trump Brand Has &#8216;Lost Its Mojo,&#8217; Even As Economy Rebounds

<p>New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood celebrated a victory over Team Trump Tuesday: The president&#8217;s charitable foundation, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, has agreed to dissolve under the supervision of the court rather than on its own terms.</p>
<p>The agreement to dissolve with judicial supervision is part of a lawsuit brought by the New York A.G.&#8217;s office against the foundation and its key players, namely Trump and his children, Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr, whom the suit accuses of having used the foundation &#8220;as little more than a checkbook to serve Mr. Trump&#8217;s business and political interests.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/embattled-trump-foundation-agrees-dissolve-agreement-york-ag/story?id=59884847">statement</a> reported by ABC News Tuesday, A.G. Underwood celebrated the agreement as accomplishing a &#8220;key piece of relief&#8221; sought in her lawsuit. &#8220;Today&#8217;s stipulation accomplishes a key piece of the relief sought in our lawsuit earlier this year,&#8221; said Underwood. &#8220;Under the terms, the Trump Foundation can only dissolve under judicial supervision &#8211; and it can only distribute its remaining charitable assets to reputable organizations approved by my office.&#8221;</p>
<p>ABC notes that the foundation &#8220;had previously sought to dissolve on its own terms,&#8221; but under pressure from Underwood&#8217;s office, it has agreed to be monitored by the court and the A.G.&#8217;s office, &#8220;which must review and approve disbursements of remaining funds to make sure the recipients are legitimate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Citing alleged campaign contributions and legal settlements, Underwood has accused the Trumps of illegally using money accumulated from charitable donations to the foundation to promote Trump&#8217;s political and financial goals. One of the alleged abuses involves buying a portrait of Trump to hang on a hotel wall.</p>
<p>The lawsuit is seeking restitution and the banning of the Trumps from serving on charity boards for a decade.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s attorneys maintain that the lawsuit is politically motivated, but a judge declined dismissing the case last month.</p>
<p>The Trump Foundation first came under scrutiny by New York when former A.G. Eric Schneiderman began targeting it in 2016. Trump has served as president of the foundation, while Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric have been listed as directors.</p>
<p>In one of its early reports on Schneiderman&#8217;s investigation, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-foundation-investigation/story?id=42081467">ABC News</a> provided a breakdown of high-dollar donations to the foundation dating back decades. &#8220;The biggest contributor from 2011 to 2014 was Richard Ebers, a man associated with an event-ticketing company, Inside Sports and Entertainment, according to the 990 forms,&#8221; ABC reports. &#8220;The only other contributor that year was a carpet wholesale company, Prestige Mills, based in Long Island in New York, which contributed $20,000 that year and $14,000 in 2011.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump donated to the foundation himself several times over the years, amounting to over $2.7 million, including $713,000 in 2004.</p>
<p>The foundation has given to a range of charities, including the much-maligned and now-defunct Clinton Foundation, to which the foundation directed $100,000 in 2009 and $10,000 in 2010. ABC also notes that the foundation gave $100,000 in 2014 to the conservative Citizens United Foundation, the group behind the <em>Citizens United </em>case that allows corporations and unions to spend as much as they want on campaign contributions.</p>
<p>The Foundation also gave to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, the Elton John Aids Foundation, Michael J. Fox Foundation, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Along with politically charged and celebrity-backed causes, the foundation directed money to schools attended by some of the children in the family.</p>


Trump Foundation Agrees To Dissolve; New York A.G. Spikes The Ball

<p>On Monday evening, Eric Trump tweeted about the alleged &#8220;utter disrespect&#8221; George Conway publicly shows his wife, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.</p>
<p>&#8220;Of all the ugliness in politics, the utter disrespect George Conway shows toward his wife, her career, place of work, and everything she has fought SO hard to achieve, might top them all,&#8221; wrote the second-eldest Trump son.</p>

<p>George Conway has made headlines numerous times over his open disdain for President Donald Trump, the man his wife helped get into the White House, and the man his wife currently works for. His Twitter feed is replete with re-tweets of anti-Trump articles and commentary.</p>
<p>On Monday, for example, George Conway <a href="https://twitter.com/gtconway3d?lang=en">retweeted</a> an ABC article titled, &#8220;Legal questions swirl around idea to offer $50 million penthouse to Putin in Trump Tower Moscow,&#8221; and a post from USA TODAY opinion, which reads in part, &#8220;Did Trump break a U.S. law? His fate could turn on whether he knew about a reported plan to give Putin a $50 million penthouse in Trump Tower Moscow.&#8221; He also notably quote-tweeted President Trump on Monday, citing obstruction of justice and witness tampering statutes:</p>

</div>
<p>Unsurprisingly, the anti-Trump media have been quick to cover George Conway&#8217;s remarks and posts. As <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/419565-eric-trump-accuses-george-conway-of-utter-disrespect-towards">noted</a> by The Hill, Kellyanne Conway acknowledged the obsessive coverage by changing her Twitter bio last month to read, &#8220;The &#8216;Kellyanne Conway&#8217; in &#8216;Kellyanne Conway&#8217;s Husband&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Eric Trump is not the only one to call Mr. Conway&#8217;s actions &#8220;disrespectful&#8221; toward his wife. In fact, during a Washington Post interview, it was Kellyanne herself who called her husband&#8217;s Trump-slams &#8220;disrespectful.&#8221; The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/34582/kellyanne-conway-criticizes-husbands-anti-trump-amanda-prestigiacomo">reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s disrespectful,&#8221; Kellyanne Conway stated. &#8220;I think it disrespects his wife.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>Conway told the Post&#8217;s Ben Terris that her husband&#8217;s open criticism of the president allows for &#8220;the implication that they are pitted against each other bothers their children.&#8221; Plus, she said, both she and the president find the tweeting &#8220;impolite.&#8221;</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The White House counselor added, &#8220;I feel there&#8217;s a part of him that thinks I chose Donald Trump over him. Which is ridiculous. One is my work and one is my marriage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs. Conway has yet to respond to the Eric Trump tweet, which garnered over 14,000 &#8220;likes&#8221; and 8,000 replies in a little over an hour. But the Internet, as one might expect, had some thoughts on the matter. Here are some of the reactions to the bold tweet:</p>

WHOA: Eric Trump Tweets About &#8216;Utter Disrespect&#8217; George Conway Shows Wife Kellyanne. The Internet Explodes.

Kellyanne Conway

<p>Lara Trump, the wife of President Donald Trump&#8217;s son, Eric, is a tireless activist for animals, and last weekend, she posted a photo on Instagram designed to motivate her social media followers to &#8220;clear the shelters&#8221; &#8212; adopt a cat or dog from a local rescue.</p>
<p>It probably comes as no surprise that the plan backfired. Immediately.</p>

Day in and day out people would come by and stand in front of your cage and stare at you. They would tell you to sshhh if you barked. They would laugh if you ran around frantically. Some would cry if you looked sad. Imagine people reading the info on your cage and just moving on. Imagine being on display like furniture in a storefront. Can you imagine? Dogs that are in a shelter cage can feel scared and vulnerable. They often times are anxious and depressed. When looking for a forever family member please take all of this into consideration. Spend time with the dogs outside of their cages. Choose based on your time together&#8230;not on what you see through those bars. Shelter life is not real life. Cages can make the gentlest soul appear &#8220;crazy&#8221; or &#8220;aggressive&#8221; simply because he is scared. When visiting a shelter or a pound please be aware of the broken hearts in those cages. Show them respect. If a particular dog acts up when you are in front of his cage please move on. He doesn&#8217;t want to be on display and has nowhere to hide. Teach your children not to taunt the dogs by running or jumping around. This always leads to more chaos and stress for all. Shelter dogs likely had families at one time. Each of them has had their lives turned upside down through no fault of their own. Imagine being let down by humans over and over. Put yourself in their place.

<p>&#8220;Imagine if this was your view,&#8221; Trump wrote. &#8220;Day in and day out people would come by and stand in front of your cage and stare at you. They would tell you to sshhh if you barked. They would laugh if you ran around frantically. Some would cry if you looked sad. Imagine people reading the info on your cage and just moving on. Imagine being on display like furniture in a storefront. Can you imagine?&#8221;</p>
<p>It turns out, the &#8220;Resistance&#8221; definitely can imagine &#8212; or, at least, they think they can. Ignoring the context of the post, leftists across Instagram jumped into the comments, accusing Trump of being complicit in her father-in-law&#8217;s immigration policies, which they claimed imprisoned children in cages just like the one Lara Trump depicted in her Instagram post.</p>
<p>Think about the kids separated from their families?!?!&#8221;<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lara-trump-sparks-controversy-photo-puppy-shelter-cages-think-kids-separated-families-170420658.html"> one commenter wrote</a>, according to Yahoo news, which called the post &#8220;controversial.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Lara&#8230;.. What about the hundreds of thousands incarcerated humans here in the U.S.?&#8221; another person added. &#8220;There. Are. Children. In. Cages!</p>
<p>There are, of course, a handful of problems with their responses. One, Lara Trump is nowhere near close enough to the president to bring leftist concerns to his desk. Her husband, Eric, runs Trump wineries, not Trump domestic policy. Second, it&#8217;s fairly difficult to adopt grown adults from prisons.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s the matter of the baby cages. Those turned out to be relics of the Obama Administration. Even Democrats who toured holding facilities for the children of illegal immigrants awaiting asylum hearings noted that the surroundings were comfortable, even if they weren&#8217;t particularly ideal.</p>
<p>Of course, it&#8217;s nearly impossible for any member of the Trump family to post to social media without being implicated in the patriarch&#8217;s policy agenda. Even Donald Trump, Jr.&#8217;s tween daughter, who recently got an Instagram of her own to showcase her golf talent, has had to fend off angry leftists determined to &#8220;send a message&#8221; to her grandfather using the comments section of her social media profile.</p>


Lara Trump Tried To Help Shelter Dogs Get Adopted. You Can Probably Guess What Happened Next.

<p>In a discussion with Fox News host Sean Hannity Thursday, Eric Trump addressed the &#8220;hypocrisy&#8221; of the media when it comes to dangerous rhetoric. Amid reckless, over-the-top rhetoric from many in the media, he said, his whole family has &#8220;had white powder show up at our house.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The hypocrisy is unlike anything you can imagine,&#8221; said Trump. &#8220;You have them attacking Barron, you have them attacking Tiffany, you have them attacking our entire family. You have them spewing garbage every single day on CNN and all these other networks about my father. Covering nonsense while forgetting about the fact that our economy grew at 4.1%, that we have the lowest unemployment in history, that jobs are coming back to the country, that the stock market&#8217;s at record high&#8230; So they spew nonsense all day, then little Jim Acosta gets belittled at a rally and all of a sudden I&#8217;m holier than [thou].&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;Without details, has your family been threatened?&#8221; asked Hannity.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been threatened, our family&#8217;s been threatened &#8212; all of us. We&#8217;ve all had white powder show up at our house,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There&#8217;s no moral outrage about that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump then cited Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro&#8217;s famous appearance at Berkeley which required scores of security personnel and security measures costing hundreds of thousands of dollars just to ensure participants&#8217; safety from left-wing protesters.</p>
<p>&#8220;When Ben Shapiro goes to Berkeley to try to give a speech, and there&#8217;s protests in the street,&#8221; Trump added, &#8220;there&#8217;s no moral outrage about that. Let the man have freedom of speech, let the man go out there and speak to people who want to listen to him. But when it happens to them, when they&#8217;re offended by a message, all of a sudden&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/400213-eric-trump-several-members-of-my-family-have-received-white">The Hill</a> notes that Trump&#8217;s statement that all of the family has experienced anthrax threats means that there&#8217;s been more threats than &#8220;a <a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/373446-trump-daughter-in-law-taken-to-hospital-after-opening-letter">previously reported incident</a> in February in which Donald Trump Jr.&#8217;s then-wife Vanessa Trump opened an envelope containing white powder,&#8221; for which she was taken to the hospital as a precaution. </p>

Eric Trump Makes Disturbing Claim About Threats To First Family

<p>President Donald Trump&#8217;s son reportedly helped save an ailing woman who collapsed near a train station last week, running into traffic to chase down an ambulance to help her.</p>
<p>A source told <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/eric-trump-rushes-into-nyc-traffic-to-save-ailing-woman">The Washington Examiner</a> that Eric Trump and his Secret Service security detail stopped to help the woman after she passed out at the train station last Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>The source said that Trump saw an ambulance passing by and rushed into busy New York City traffic to stop it.</p>
<p>&#8220;I watched as Eric looked up, spotted an ambulance slowly passing by on 6th, ran into traffic &#8212; almost getting hit by a bicyclist &#8212; and shouted at the ambulance to get its attention,&#8221; The Examiner&#8217;s source said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not sure if the ambulance had been called for or if Eric managed to hail one out of the blue, but in any case his sense of urgency was clear and he succeeded in getting the paramedics to stop and tend to the woman,&#8221; the source continued.</p>
<p>The Examiner&#8217;s Paul Bedard noted that the source, who requested anonymity, has no ties to Trump.</p>


Eric Trump Rushed Into NYC Traffic To Save Ailing Woman

<p>Early Friday morning, police officers took out an active shooter who opened fire inside the lobby of Trump National Doral resort. The shooter, who police say was waving an American flag and &#8220;spewing&#8221; about Trump, was wounded but appears to be in stable condition. One officer suffered a broken wrist, but no one else was injured.</p>
<p>In response, Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump, tweeted out his thanks to the Doral and Miami-Dade officers who stopped the shooter before he could inflict serious harm.</p>
<p>&#8220;A huge thank you to the incredible men and women of the @DoralPolice Department and @MiamiDadePD. Every day they keep our community safe. We are very grateful to you!&#8221; wrote Eric.</p>
<p>In yet another example of the degree of hostility toward the president and the Trump family, Eric&#8217;s post was instantly met with a wave of vitriolic responses from the #resistance online. Below is Eric&#8217;s post followed by some of the blowback:</p>

Eric Trump Thanks Officers For Taking Down Doral Shooter. Trump Critics Spew Craziness.

<p>Early Friday morning, police officers shot and wounded a man after he fired multiple shots inside the lobby of the Trump National Doral resort. According to police, the man was carrying an American flag and &#8220;yelling and spewing some information about President Trump.&#8221;</p>
<p>The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. at Trump National Doral golf and spa resort. A few hours later, Miami-Dade Police Director Juan Perez revealed details of the incident in a press conference outside the resort.</p>
<p>&#8220;These officers did not hesitate for one second to engage this individual who was actively shooting in the lobby of the hotel,&#8221; said Perez, the <a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/miami-dade/fl-reg-trump-national-doral-shooting-20180518-story.html">Sun Sentinel</a> reports.</p>
<p>&#8220;He had an American flag that he did drape over the counter, that all will be part of the investigation. We&#8217;re going to take it from there and see what his real motives are,&#8221; he said. Authorities have not yet determined if it was an act of terrorism, he added.</p>
<p>One Doral police officer was injured in the incident, though not from gun fire; officials say he appears to have broken his wrist.</p>
<p>Miami-Dade and Doral police are currently leading the investigation, while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will investigate the officers&#8217; actions, the Sentinel reports. The FBI were also on the scene.</p>
<p>The Sun Sentinel describes the suspect, whose identity is not yet known, as &#8220;balding and with a close-cropped beard&#8221; and well enough to be &#8220;sitting up on a gurney&#8221; as rescue workers transported him to Kendall Regional Medical Center.</p>
<p>Eric Trump responded to the incident by thanking the Doral and Miami Dade police departments:</p>
