Over half went on paying off his campaign debt. And 25 cents in every dollar goes directly to the Republican party. So what is going to happen to the 75 million left? Any thoughts Jared? Should just about cover the consultancy fees for Ivanka. Such genius doesn't come cheap. Edited December 19, 2020 by horsefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 4,298 Posted December 20, 2020 (edited) https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/trump-contradicts-officials-by-downplaying-cyber-attack/ar-BB1c4osO?ocid=msedgntp Donald Trump has sought to downplay the severity of a sweeping cyber attack on the US government and companies, one day after his own secretary of state said the “very significant effort” could be traced back to Russian actors. On Saturday morning, Mr Trump took to Twitter to claim the hack was “far greater in the Fake News Media than in actuality”. “I have been fully briefed and everything is well under control,” the president tweeted. “Russia, Russia, Russia is the priority chant when anything happens because Lamestream is, for mostly financial reasons, petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be China (it may!).” Mr Trump’s claims appeared to contradict statements by Mike Pompeo, the US secretary of state. Mr Pompeo told The Mark Levin show, a conservative radio programme, on Friday that there had been a “significant effort to use a piece of third-party software to essentially embed code inside of US government systems and it now appears systems of private companies and companies and governments across the world as well”. Almost makes you wonder whether Putin has got something on Trump doesn't it? With the end of his one-term presidency they can investigate his personal links this time. https://www.ft.com/trump-russia-ties https://www.salon.com/2020/09/04/why-trump-was-never-investigated-as-a-russian-agent_partner/ https://www.politicalflare.com/2020/04/trumps-ties-to-the-russian-mob-go-back-to-1984-why-is-no-one-talking-about-this-russia-connection/ https://www.rawstory.com/2019/08/donald-trumps-connections-to-russia-explained/ Edited December 20, 2020 by horsefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donald J Trump 24 Posted December 23, 2020 My mircale virus. I said they'd be one by the end of the year. Now they want to defraud the American people yet again with a watered down stimulus bill. They need to change it from $600 per person to $2000 per person. Otherwise I won't approve it and the next administration will have to provide a covid relief package and maybe that next administration, will be me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 23, 2020 Everyone got their fruitcake for Xmas? If not, there is one going in the US The US president argued in a social media post on Saturday evening that the “cure cannot be worse than the problem itself”. On Friday, Boris Johnson announced that people in London and the south east would be subject to harsh curbs on planned meet-ups for Christmas. Trump tweeted a clip from BBC News shortly after the prime minister’s press conference and said: “We don’t want to have lockdowns. The cure cannot be worse than the problem itself!” He also shared a similar clip from ITV News with the comment: “The entire WORLD is being badly hurt by the China Virus, but if you listen to the Fake News Lamestream Media, and Big Tech, you would think that we are the only one. “No, but we are the Country that developed vaccines, and years ahead of schedule!” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
