It's stunning that Trump tweets almost daily that China is paying billions in tariffs but then admits he delayed a portion of them so consumers won't pay more this holiday season.

He knows that he's lying about who pays them and he thinks you're all too stupid to notice.

“We’ve delayed it so it won’t be relevant to the Christmas shopping season," Trump told press on AF1 tarmac, referring to the decision to delay a 10% tariff on some Chinese imports until mid-December.

Republican Christians act like Jesus's most famous speech was called “The Sermon on the Amount.”

And that it was all about how much the multitudes owed Jesus for His loaves and fish for-profit miracle.

The summer swelter lingered in the swamp around President Donald Trump’s Washington in late July. Democrats in Congress continued to mull whether or not they would move to impeach him; Republicans, habitually, turned a blind eye to his hateful rhetoric and compulsive Twitter attacks. In New York the stock market teetered as traders awaited the administration’s next move on tariffs; prosecutors in the Southern District of New York appeared, without great logic or transparency, to close its campaign-finance investigation into Trump’s hush money payments without indicting anyone else involved apart from his longtime attorney Michael Cohen, who, by July, was more than two months into a three-year sentence at a federal facility in the Catskills.

While Cohen reads through the prison library and works out with “The Situation” in the Otisville Correctional Facility’s gym, his former neighbor on Park Avenue Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was having a different sort of summer. Last month, Wolkoff received a subpoena from the Washington, D.C., attorney general’s office, requesting documents related to President Trump’s inauguration, which Wolkoff had a heavy hand in planning. The $107 million event has been under investigation for months, including by federal prosecutors in New York and New Jersey, for profligate spending and questions about foreign donations. The latest subpoena appears to be probing potential self-dealing by the Trump Organization and members of the president’s family, according to two people familiar with the investigation.

Wolkoff complied with the request, according to these sources, by the July 26 deadline, which asked her to turn over records involving the inaugural event, the president’s family and associates, and expenditures by the inaugural committee that could shine a light on whether the nonprofit group provided private benefits to the Trump Organization. The attorney general appears to be particularly interested in payments being made through the inaugural committee to Trump-owned businesses, and whether there was a fair bidding process for contractors.

1/ On the second anniversary of Charlottesville, never forget that matter how many times Donald Trump supporters try to retcon and lie about what he said in the days to follow, the judgement of history is already complete: a racist President defended racist scum.

2/Richard Spencer, David Duke and the rest of the alt-reich incels didn't show up in Charlottesville because they were afraid Trump would condemn them.

They came knowing the worst thing that would happen to them was a wink from the most racist president since Woodrow Wilson.

3/ Remember, every teleprompter, prepared speech is only a panic reaction from Kellyanne and Ivanka.

The real Trump says there are very fine people among the Nazis and Kansmen bearing torches and killing Heather Heyer.

The teleprompter puppet gamely walks it back.
