‘F---ing nightmare’: Trump team does damage control after he dines with Ye and white supremacist Nick Fuentes

Former President Donald Trump distanced himself Friday from a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West,

Former President Donald Trump distanced himself Friday from a pre-Thanksgiving dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, claiming he didn’t know the identity of the far-right activist who was unexpectedly brought along with the rapper.

“This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about,” Trump said Friday in a statement on his Truth Social platform.

“We had dinner on Tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. The dinner was quick and uneventful,” Trump said. “They then left for the airport.”

A person familiar with the dinner conversation who is not involved in Trump's presidential campaign and two Trump advisers briefed on the dinner corroborated Trump's claim that he didn't know Fuentes' identity when they dined together. The three sources spoke on condition on anonymity given the nature of the controversy.

But despite Trump suggesting that the event was “uneventful,” the fallout over his dinner with Fuentes appears to have thrown Trump’s campaign into damage control mode. The former president took hours to respond publicly after multiple media outlets reported that Fuentes was present at the dinner.
 

They are not that upset!

Is he buying his own stuff to inflate prices?
 
WASHINGTON -- An IRS policy governing the audits of tax returns filed by U.S. presidents is under new scrutiny after a report published by a congressional panel found the agency failed to perform the mandatory inspection of Donald Trump's returns until Congress pressed for information about the process.

The three-point policy states that individual returns for the president and the vice president are subject to mandatory review, “should always be kept in an orange folder,” should be kept from the eyes of IRS employees and “should be locked in a secure drawer or cabinet when the examiner or reviewer is away from the work area.”

So basically it should be treated as secret or higher information.
 

Is this the end or will they start worshipping him again?​

Trump Bashes Evangelical Leaders Withholding Endorsements as 'Disloyal'

In a Monday interview, Donald Trump called hesitance from evangelical leaders to endorse his campaign a “sign of disloyalty.”
www.rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com

AFTER LONG CLAIMING that evangelicals would never abandon him, former President Donald Trump is now accusing one of his most prized voting blocs of “disloyalty.”

In a Monday interview with Real America’s Voice, Trump called hesitance from evangelical leaders to endorse his campaign a “sign of disloyalty.” “Nobody has ever done more for right to life than Donald Trump,” he said, accusing leaders of the anti-abortion movement of not capitalizing on the overturning of Roe v. Wade to secure better results in the November midterm election.

Trump’s worries regarding the security of his relationship with evangelical leaders and the anti-abortion movement have been festering for some time. As Rolling Stone previously reported, Trump — who had for years maintained that his appointment of conservative judges, pro-Israel foreign policy, and the end to a federal right to abortion would secure the undying loyalty of evangelical voters — was blindsided by the lack of enthusiasm following his announcement of his third presidential bid.

The silence, or in some cases outright criticism, from religious groups and anti-abortion advocates may have been spurred by Trump’s private panic over the end of Roe. Multiple sources told Rolling Stone in June that behind closed doors the former president was “shitting all over” the overturning of America’s abortion rights, and feared the fallout of such a decision would cost Republicans in the long run.

Koch Political Machine Vows to Fight to Deny Trump GOP Nomination in 2024 The Koch political machine, which fuels the most powerful donor network in conservative politics, is declaring itself as be part of the NeverTrump effort for 2024, aiming to deny former President Donald Trump a third nomination for the White House.

The declaration, released in a recent memo to staffers and activists, never explicitly mentions Trump, but it’s abundantly clear from the tone in Americans for Prosperity CEO Emily Seidel’s message that the grassroots behemoth she leads has no plans of being a passive player in Republican politics when it comes to the White House. “Our country must move past the current political situation—we’ve got to turn the page on the past several years,” she wrote. “If we want to elect better people, we need better candidates. And if we want better candidates, we’ve got to get involved in elections earlier and in more primaries.”

Americans for Prosperity is perhaps the most forward-facing arm of the Koch political orbit, organized more than two decades ago by billionaires Charles and David Koch. They went all-in on Mitt Romney’s campaign in 2012, a move many of the network’s members to this day regret. The groups were no fans of Trump in 2016 but many of their donors were, so they officially stayed out of the primary after flirting with a flex. By the time Trump 2020 arrived, the groups had seen mixed records on their goals—tax cuts and criminal justice reform were good to their minds; the administration’s efforts on immigration and isolationism were not—and instead stayed largely out of the race.
 
Chinese balloons flew over US three times during Trump administration: officials

Balloons similar to the one that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina this weekend flew over the U.S. at least three times during the Trump administration, according to a senior U.S. defense official.

As Republicans spent the past few days criticizing the Biden administration over its response to the suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew across the country, an official revealed during a briefing on Saturday that the U.S. was aware of three other instances during the prior administration and one instance earlier in the Biden administration that such an apparatus “transited” the country.

“PRC [People’s Republic of China] government surveillance balloons transited the continental United States briefly at least three times during the prior administration and once that we know of at the beginning of this administration but never for this duration of time,” said a senior defense official. “We spoke directly with Chinese officials through multiple channels, but rather than address their intrusion into our airspace, the PRC put out an explanation that lacked any credibility.”

Ho Che Anderson has explained how exactly his first Marvel project, Luke Cage: City of Fire, was canceled just days before it would have gone on sale. Anderson recalled his conversation with Marvel executives, saying, "Long story short, they sat me down and said, 'We're canceling this book. We're afraid that the subject matter is going to be damaging for you. We don't want you to be attacked by right-wing nuts.'"

He added that the book would have come out after Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges raised against him for killing two people with an AR-15 assault rifle, which happened one night during the protests that followed George Floyd's death.

"They were really worried that there was going to be some blowback with the Kyle Rittenhouse lovers of the world or whatever," Anderson said about Marvel at the time. "So they chose to take the cautious route."

Yet having T'Challa get a two piece and a pepper from Cap America and then kicked out of Wakanda was okay.
