Oh for crying out loud! You're as obtuse as Whell. Just read the direct quote in the article, dummy, assuming you know how to read, which I'm beginning to doubt.

The US military may have spent millions to help prop up a Trump resort
An investigation into the spending comes as Trump faces questions over his officials patronizing his properties.

Quote:
The military has spent $11 million on fuel alone at the Prestwick Airport near Trump’s Turnberry resort since fall of 2017, Politico reported. And reporting by the Guardian found the airport has provided discounted rooms and complimentary rounds of golf at the Trump resort for some US military members. The expenditures are unusual given buying fuel from Prestwick Airport costs the government (and, ultimately, taxpayers) more than refueling at military bases, such as the nearby Lakenheath Air Base in England.
Donny, you belong behind bars.

This Newsweek item is from about a year ago now, but I just saw it...

Donald Trump Ordered Illegal Removal of Braille Because 'No Blind People are Going to Live in Trump Tower': Report

Basically, this is Trump kicking around his own staffers, for the fun of it. Abuser. Psychopath.

If there is one thing that Trump has right, it's China.

Trump has forced even Germans and French to take note of Chinese behavior and as a result pass laws to protect their strategic industries.


China will have to make serious changes to Made In China schedule.

I guess you're too much of a Trump apologist to realize that the TPP was proof-positive that Obama understood the threat from China and took a rational and effective approach to it, unlike the Lying Dotard.

Wrong thread. "Whatabout Trump's wonderful trade war" is not an answer to his gross personality pathologies.

Donny is one sick puppy

Quote:
Even now, almost a thousand days into his presidency, the latest Trump outrage elicits shock and disbelief in people. The reaction is, “Can you believe he said that and did this?”

To which my response is, “Why are you surprised?” It’s a shock only if the assumption is that we’re dealing with a psychologically normal human being. We’re not. Trump is profoundly compromised, acting just as you would imagine a person with a disordered personality would. Many Americans haven’t yet come to terms with the fact that we elected as president a man who is deeply damaged, an emotional misfit. But it would be helpful if they did.

Trump official threatens to fire NOAA employees after disputing president's false information about Hurricane Dorian

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-a9098426.html

Quote:
Wilbur Ross, the US secretary of commerce, threatened to fire top employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration after the agency’s Birmingham, Alabama office contradicted Donald Trump's tweet claiming that Hurricane Dorian would likely hit Alabama, according to a report from The New York Times.

Mr Ross's threat led to the release of an unsigned letter from NOAA disavowing not only the Birmingham tweet, but the organisation's own knowledge of the storm, in favour of the president's false claim.
The corruption never ends...
