That's what we thought when our...others call him butternut...would go on a rant about something or the other, without fact-checking his claims. He was fodder for comedians and cartoonists.

Old shower head and the orange anus, imagine the chaos and the destruction left behind if those two were to go on a Boys weekend to Vegas.

Glad they're separated by more than half a day of flying.

Put Putin on guard duty

Putin: "It was his DNA? That proves nothing. She could have rubbed it onto her cat, and let some of it into the throat"

FBI: "But look at the pic!"

Putin: "His doppelganger"
 
He knows exactly what he is doing, he is intentionally lying so he followers have something to grasp onto. Trump is not as dumb as those that support him.
remember when he suggested injecting disinfectant into the body?
 
Trump threatens use of military force

Police backed by National Guard troops tear-gassed a largely peaceful protest outside the White House.

US President Donald Trump delivered an address this week in which he threatened military action as protests against racism and police brutality spread across the country.

Then he walked to the nearby St John's Episcopal Church to pose with a Bible.

Standing outside the church, which had been damaged and boarded up after days of demonstrations against police brutality, Trump struck different poses, displaying the book for cameras, ostensibly upside-down at times.

"Is that your Bible?" a reporter asked. "It's a Bible," Trump replied.

The president said nothing else about the significance of the site or the circumstances of his appearance before walking back towards the White House.

Outside the White House, police supported by National Guard troops fired tear gas on a largely peaceful protest to clear the area for Trump's photo op.

"If a city or a state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them," Trump said.

National Guard troops have been deployed in several US states.

In a call with state governors, Trump told them they had to "dominate" and said the state of Minnesota, where George Floyd, an African American man died in police custody, had become the laughing stock of the world.

This report was produced and edited by Al Jazeera NewsFeed's Hassan Ghani.

Donald Trump trumpets bizarre conspiracy theory that 75-year-old pushed to ground by Buffalo cops was 'an ANTIFA provocateur' who exaggerated his fall - prompting furious condemnation from Andrew Cuomo


President Donald Trump blasted out a conspiracy theory Tuesday claiming the 75-year-old cancer sufferer seen on video getting shoved to the ground by Buffalo police during a protest fell 'harder than he was pushed' and had connections to Antifa.

The tweet referenced a report on the right wing One America News Network with close-up, slowed footage of the incident while voice-over from a correspondent touts possible connections to Antifa, a group Trump has said wants to label as domestic terrorist organization.

The report claims that the incident – where 75-year-old protester Martin Gugino was shoved to the ground by police – 'could be the result of a false flag provocation by far left group Antifa.'

It cites information that appeared on the Conservative Treehouse blog which identifies Gugino as a 'well-known activist.'

Trump tweeted Tuesday morning: 'Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN.'

The president added that he agreed with at least part of what was put forward by the broadcast on a network he regularly touts. 'I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?' Trump asked.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo ripped the president Tuesday for issuing a 'reckless, irresponsible, mean, crude if there was ever a reprehensible, dumb comment.'

'And from the president of the United States at this moment of anguish and anger. He pours gasoline on the fire. If there was ever, if he ever feels a moment of decency, he should apologize fr that tweet,' Cuomo added.

He called it 'wholly unacceptable' and said there was 'Not a piece of proof. Personally disparaging when the man is still in the hospital. Show some decency, some humanity,' he continued.

Trump's tweet – again siding with police after repeatedly calling for 'law and order' amid protests over the death of George Floyd – comes despite advisors inside and outside the White House counseling him to address racial discrimination.

Are they gone for good? The Trump supporters who regret their vote
President’s latest decisions – deploying military forces against protesters, and the church photo op – are chipping away at his base

2800.jpg

Donald Trump visits St John’s Episcopal church, known as the church of Presidents’s, in nearby LaFayette Square on 1 June.

Donald Trump once famously boasted he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, and not lose supporters. For years that seemed true.


But his latest actions – including the deployment of an ad hoc paramilitary force against protesters on avenues around the country – may have been too much.

New polls show Trump’s support is slipping among key groups, some showing him at a double-digit disadvantage to Democratic rival Joe Biden.

Last Monday night, police and soldiers violently cleared protesters so Trump could walk from the White House to St John’s church for a photo opportunity. At that moment, Nolan Fuzzell had seen enough.

Fuzzell is a table server at a restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas, and previously supported Trump. But after the photo stunt he tweeted: “Beginning to regret wearing all Trump gear on Election Day 2016. This is not right, on any level.”

So how did Trump lose supporters like Fuzzell, and are they gone for good?

It’s helpful to remember, first, what the president has asked of Republicans. He has treated the party like Theseus’s ancient ship, replacing one plank at a time until it becomes unrecognizable as itself. From a party whose elites sought to reject Trump in 2016, it has now become almost unerringly loyal and much changed.

Under Trump’s leadership, Republicans have gone to war against their traditional allies, the FBI. They have cozied up to their old opponents, in Russia. Republican leaders have signed off on federal deficits so gargantuan – this year it will top a trillion dollars – they would make Franklin D Roosevelt blush.

Trump adherents have had to boycott the reddest of American sports, professional football.

Towering Republican heroes – political like Mitt Romney, military like John Kelly, both like John McCain – have come under Trump’s withering attack.


Trump’s own former defense secretary, James Mattis, felt compelled to speak out against the treatment of American citizens during protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of police. Comparing the president to Nazi propagandists, Mattis wrote: “We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our constitution.”

Among other things Trump has asked evangelical Christians, his staunchest allies, to overlook lurid descriptions of his sexual escapades, hush money paid to a porn actor and – with difficulty – the abandonment of vulnerable Christian communities in northern Syria.
