One thing are certain though
Diplomacy is, in Trump's world, something that belong in the twilight zone Have just read about his latest tweet where he called KJU short and fat. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that we have a leader that speaks "freely" without any filter. Markus |

It's called swinging the pendulum ... I wonder if the next POTUS (Mike Pence) will tweet his thoughts?

 Sixteen (16) year old girl accuses President Trump of touching her on the butt and remarking what nice breast she has ... Mike Pence takes over duties of the POTUS (fake news)

Trump's embrace of the "Big Lie" was well documented even before his election; since just before he made his run for office official, various news articles, some of them from conservative GOP reporters, have detailed his duplicity and more than casual disregard for the truth. It is no surprise he has continued his ways while in the Oval Office, disgracing the Presidency... Trump does have big problems hovering just outside of what has been more broadly reported. As I have noted before, there is, thus far, no direct evidence linking him directly with the efforts of his campaign team members and other hangers-on to collude with Russian interests to sway the election. He does face a big potential problem with possible obstruction of justice charges over some of his actions in relation to the Russia investigations; there is a strong possibility, given Trump's seeming inability to keep from mucking up his own bed by pulling bone-headed stunts, that he may well find himself on the receiving end of an impeachment action... His real big issue will be his finances: his long history of bankruptcies and evasion of contractual obligations has made him persona non grata to US banks who have refused to extend him loans or lines of credit. The situation was so bad for Trump, he had to go outside the US for financing and was finally given funding by Deutsche Bank to shore up his business empire. The problem with that is DB required some form of vouching for Trump's loans and an informal vouching was made by a Russian oligarch closely tied to Putin. In addition, there are not a few players in the Trump/DB dealings who are linked to Russian interests, some even named as part of the ongoing investigations. This is also not new reportage; numerous articles detailing Trump's DB dealings and the Russian connections were also in print and on the Net well before the election starting just before Trump made a formal run declaration. I posted several in the 2017 Presidential Election Thread in the months before the election, from a wide variety of sources. (Note: the fact the reportage occurred well before the election exposes another Trump "Big Lie", that the news coverage of his transgressions are an effort to ex facto overturn his election, patently false since the reports did start occurring long before Election Day.) DB has been investigated and fined for massive money laundering crimes, including for Russian clients, and continues to be the target of on-going probes; included in the probes are the actions and activities of some of the same people involved in the Trump campaign, such as Manafort who has just recently been indicted for, among other things, money laundering. Trump faces having his financial dirty laundry exposed to public scrutiny and the possibility of losing a major source of his funding: Deutsche Bank Is Turning Over Information on Trump -- https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017...he-bank-russia Kushner firm’s $285 million Deutsche Bank loan came just before Election Day -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...=.80b6043bbe7e Here's an article from 29 Aug 2016, a little over two months before the 2017 Election, detailing the DB scandal and the ties to Russia: Deutsche Bank’s $10-Billion Scandal -- https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2...illion-scandal In the article, there is this: Quote:
DB is in such severe trouble over its own dealings, it would be a bit far-fetched to believe they would make an effort to shield Trump's dealing from investigators or prosecutors. If the probes manage to cause Trump being forced to open up his financial documentation, such as his jealously guarded tax returns, it is entirely possible Trump would rather just resign his office as an attempt to blunt further scrutiny, which, now, may actually be a bit too late.. The 'resign-rather-than-reveal' scenario is one I have said is most likely since Election Day; however, Trump has shown himself to be such an idiotic fool, he could very well try to derail or stop the probes and garner that obstruction of justice charge... <O>
