Echo from Oklahoma - failed businessman is the "failed Trump"

Echo opinion from my favorite newspaper!  

Thank you Tulsa World.

Donald Trump documented 13, 400 + lies

The Worst Businessman in America

From By Sonia Sniderman in Tulsa Oklahoma:

“Let’s elect a business man to be president,” we said. “A business man will know how to run the country more efficiently than a politician.”

We got our wish, but we should have been a bit more specific and asked for an honest business man. (Trumpzi is a con man - "I know a con man when I see one!", Bloomberg!)

Donald Trump just got fined $2 million for using his acclaimed charity like a slush fund to pay for his campaign and business interests (“President fined $2 milion to settle charity suit,” Nov. 8).

By the way, do not confuse this $2 million, with the $25 million that tRump was fined for swindling students in his (failed! TrumpziU) “university.”

We should have been forewarned when stories circulated about how he stiffed suppliers in his hotel business. 

Now, Trump has full rein to swindle all of us.

When Donald Trump spends weekends at Mar-a-Lago, the taxpayers pay $546 a night for each staffer staying there and $1,000 for a night’s drinking by White House aides at the bar. He even charges the Secret Service for using the golf carts.

Visitors who want to gain favor with the president spend their money at the Trump hotels. T-Mobile stayed there while waiting for approval on a merger to the tune of nearly $200,000.

Foreign officials spend freely there while courting Trumpziism for favors.

(Obviously!) Did we neglect to tell Donald Trump that he was supposed to bring prosperity to the entire country and not just to the Trumpzi organization?

Donald Trump listen up! "No fake news in Mueller Report!"

Editorial echo from The Middletown Press, a Connecticut newspaper: Mueller report shows who gave ‘fake news’

Most Americans were in agreement about whether Trump lied to the public about the matters under investigation by Mueller — 58 percent believe he did so, reports Vox by By Gabriela Resto-Montero

Dateline:  DONALD TRUMP- more lies.

Redacted pages.....and redacted pages in the Mueller Report, censured by #fakeBarr, but the narrative exposes Trump lies.

This shining truth is evident in the much-anticipated Mueller report released Thursday — there was no so-called “fake news.”

Read all about it. No Fake News in the Mueller Report!

As Special Counsel Robert Mueller began his investigation into areas of conduct by Donald Trump nearly two years ago, the news media pursued its own in-depth reporting on the administration. For every revealing story reported and published in some of the most respected media outlets in the country — The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN — the president would cry “Fake News.”

But he was wrong, and that diversionary tactic is exposed now for what it is — another lie.

The 400-plus pages of the report released by Attorney General William Barr, with redactions of classified material and referrals to criminal courts for further investigation, merit close scrutiny. The American people, for whom Mueller worked, need for him to appear before Congress and explain his reasoning.

The investigation centered on two overarching areas — did the president or his campaign collude with the Russians to influence the 2016 election, and did the president obstruct justice in the investigation? On the face of it, the answer appears to be no on both counts.

Whether Mueller determined there was insufficient evidence of obstruction of justice because others in the White House tried to thwart the president’s attempts should be explored.

But for now we are focusing on the integrity — and necessity — of journalism in contrast to the lies and manipulation by the president and his circle.

It was not “fake news” that a foreign country tried to influence the American election, and succeeded. This should scare everyone. It was not “fake news” that Donald Trump Jr. and others met with Russian operatives in Trump Tower during the campaign season. It was not “fake news” that Trump ordered his attorney, Michael Cohen, to pay off a porn star and keep his extramarital affair secret.

Democracy can teeter on the edge of autocracy when the ruler tries to discredit the truth and baldly attempts to turn the American people against the institution working on their behalf — the press. Remember President Trump calling the media “the enemy of the people?” That is chilling, and couldn’t be further from the truth.

Instead, the Mueller report shows, “fake news” — lies — came from the White House. Under oath, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders admitted that she made up the assertion that many rank-and-file Justice Department personnel had lost faith in their leader at the time, James Comey. This was fabricated as an excuse for President Trump to fire him.

That is one example. We do not have enough space to get into all the lies put forth by the (MaineWriter #fakePresident Donald Trump. (The website PolitiFact does a good job of that.)

Whether you describe yourself as conservative, liberal, progressive, whatever — journalism is for the people. Be informed.

A free and unfettered press, one that does not shirk from reporting on those in power, is essential to democracy.
