Trump is trying to get closer to firing Mueller since he is guilty of money laundering and loans from sanctioned Russian banks. Evidence has already come out on this. Why scream witch hunt and fake news if his actions cannot be proven in a court of law? Why not release his tax returns and business records and "prove" his innocence?

A lot of people on this forum don't seem to have any idea of what he has actually done since they- apparently- don't get the news.

So, here's just a few things the current President of the US he has done and said.... and this list is NOT up to date......

Feel free to add to the list.............

so who is your puppetmaster, that you print the same talking points as the fascist liberals

btw some of your point are false

Quote:
Falsely claimed Bill Clinton “had to pay an $850,000 fine” to Paula Jones after she accused him of sexual assault
Lies 
bill Clinton did pay her off

Clinton was/is a sexual predator and rapist

yes bill Clinton should be in jail for his assault against women

clinton was the commander in chief...UCMJ lists adultry as a crime


clinton was also a sexual harrasser, and sexual assaulter.....and serial rapist

clinton was impeached for lying under oath...not about monica, but about the previous sexual ASSAULT case




paula jones was a VICTIM of that molester clinton....before he became potus

lewisnki was the final puzzle piece..the sauce for the goose....clinton lied to protect himself...and he got caught

what was starrs original charter...to investigate the questionable death of vince foster..and whitewater.... Paula Jones, who was suing President Clinton over a sexual assault.


btw Clinton and his defense team then challenged Jones' right to bring a civil lawsuit against a sitting president for an incident that occurred prior to the defendant's becoming president. The Clinton defense team took the position that the trial should be delayed until the president was no longer in office, because the job of the president is unique and does not allow him to take time away from it to deal with a private civil lawsuit. The case went through the courts, eventually reaching the Supreme Court on January 13, 1997. On May 27, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Clinton, and allowed the lawsuit to proceed



clinton entered into an out-of-court settlement, agreeing to pay Jones 900k

and lets not forget Gennifer Flowers ,,,who he had had a 12-year relationship with .... Bill Clinton PUBLICLY denied having a relationship with Flowers ......yet...In his presidential deposition in January 1998, while denying Kathleen Willey's sexual accusations against him, Bill Clinton admitted that he had a sexual encounter with Flowers.

99% of liberals say "clinton was impeached because of a blowjob by monica"

when in fact he was impeached based on a sexual harassment suit and his lying under oath and the lie had nothing to do with monica



are you another mesmerized liberal woman hater , who doesn't believe Kathleen Willey or Jenifer Flowers, or Paula Jones



Quote:
Falsely claimed the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency endorsed him
Lies 
nope that is the truth...ICE/ NYPD, and 90% of all law enforcement including their unions did endorse trump


Quote:
Falsely claimed the Iran nuclear deal made Iran rich
Lies 
yes it did,,they got billions

Quote:
Falsely claimed the U.S. economy is experiencing its slowest growth since 1929
Lies 
very much true...obozo had the lowest growth( post recession) of any potus



Quote:
22. Refused to release his tax returns during the campaign
Business 
why should he...there is NO LAW stating they have to

But even the Waltons are focusing on online business these days. They just closed a bunch of Sam's Club stores and plan to reopen some as distribution centers.

Brick and mortar stores tried to control costs by going to part-time employees and ended up with staff that could stock the shelves and scan bar codes, but knew little about the merchandise or customer service. Now the push is self checkout stands.

Customer service is the ace in the hole for brick and mortar stores.

Bookstores were the harbinger of things to come. The only bookstore left in our area is Barnes & Noble and it's seems to have morphed into a coffee shop selling games, gifts, and books on the side. I can't tell you how many times I've gone in to buy a recently released book only to be told they don't have it, but they can order it for me and I can come back and pick it up in four to six business days.

Or, I can order it from Amazon at a lower price and have it delivered to my home in two days.

Interesting enough, independent bookstores with their focus on customer service are experiencing somewhat of a resurgence these days.
I checked my purchase history on Amazon and I started ordering in 2012 which were video games. I guess these things take a few years but I'm usually late to "trends" so you would think there would be a mass at the same time as me or before then. The next year in October I bought a mini fridge.

But the big labor issue we are facing is not the several thousand steelworkers or coal miners, it's the millions of retail workers who will never be employed again.

Not everyone can go to college for IT degrees.
Even so like you said here whether he caused it or not he's not doing anything to help the situation. I don't know why him and his supporters are so bent on keeping coal alive. That is one of the most terrible and outdated jobs I can think of.

For everyone like him, there are many democrats leaving because the party is going too far to the left.

They'll vote for him again if Hillary runs for a second time in 2020, or some other far left loon like Warren or Harris runs.
