Trump reportedly claimed 2 were shot dead in Chicago during Obama’s speech. But it never happened.
by Jeremy Gorner and Jason Meisner
January 27, 2017
An ABC News transcript of its interview with President Donald Trump on Wednesday quoted him as saying that two people were fatally shot in Chicago while his predecessor, Barack Obama, was giving his farewell speech at McCormick Place — a claim shown to be false by Police Department records.
The passage in question was not included in the broadcast aired Wednesday night, but the network posted a longer transcript on its website that contained the remarks in question. An ABC spokesman confirmed to the Tribune on Thursday that the transcript accurately depicted the president's words, but the network did not immediately share the video with the Tribune.
Not only did no homicides take place in Chicago during Obama's address of about an hour Jan. 10, but the official Police Department records and the Tribune's crime database show that no shootings at all occurred over that time frame.
Trump apparently made the erroneous claim during an interview with ABC News anchor David Muir, who asked the president about the tweet he'd sent Tuesday that read: "If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible 'carnage' going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!"

Son, we live in a world that has lies,
[div class="excerpt"
QuentinCompson, Negatory • 7 hours ago
SEAN SPICER: Son, we live in a world that has lies, and those lies have to be guarded by Trump loyalists. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Jim Acosta, CNN? We have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for the facts, and you curse the lies. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know. That the stain of telling lies, while tragic, probably saves office-holders. And our existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves office-holders. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want us at that podium, you need us at that podium. We use words like exaggeration, hyperbole, alternative facts. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent hiding something. You use them as a punchline. We have neither the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to a gaggle who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very mass audience that we provide, and then questions the manner in which we provide it. We would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, we suggest you pick up a press release, and print it in the Post. Either way, we don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
A Mississippi state senator has created a firestorm on social media after a post on his Facebook page targeting the Women's March on Washington.
Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump was sworn into office, more than a million people turned out for women's marches all across the country. According the movement's official website, their mission is to protect women's rights, safety, health and families.
On Sunday, the day after the march, Senator Chris McDaniel posted to his Facebook page calling out the "unhappy liberal women", asking "if they can afford all those piercings, tattoos, body paintings, signs, and plane tickets, then why do they want us to pay for their birth control?"

Plus, there is a poll so you can express yourself. The mobile version has the poll through a link at the very bottom I understand. McDaniel is a Teabagger creep who deserves any sadness he gets.
Trump's Vainglorious Affront to the C.I.A.
Trump’s Vainglorious Affront to the C.I.A.
By Robin Wright January 22, 2017
. . . On his first full day in office, President Trump spoke at the C.I.A. headquarters in front of the hallowed Memorial Wall, with Ames’s star on it. Since his election, Trump has raged at the U.S. intelligence community over its warnings about Russian meddling in the Presidential election. After CNN reported on, and BuzzFeed published, an as-yet unsubstantiated dossier about Trump’s ties to Russia and personal behavior, the President erupted on Twitter, “Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to ‘leak’ into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?”
On Saturday, speaking to about four hundred intelligence officials, Trump blamed any misunderstanding on the media. “They are among the most dishonest human beings on Earth,” he said. (The official White House transcript notes “laughter” and “applause” here.) “They sort of made it sound like I had a feud with the intelligence community. And I just want to let you know, the reason you’re the No. 1 stop is exactly the opposite—exactly.”
Trump vowed greater support for America’s sixteen intelligence agencies than they had received from any other President. “Very, very few people could do the job you people do,” he said. “I know maybe sometimes you haven’t gotten the backing that you’ve wanted, and you’re going to get so much backing. Maybe you’re going to say, Please don’t give us so much backing. Mr. President, please, we don’t need that much backing.” Trump said he assumed that “almost everybody” in the cavernous C.I.A. entry hall had voted for him, “because we’re all on the same wavelength, folks.”
In his remarks, Trump made passing reference to the “special wall” behind him but never mentioned the top-secret work or personal sacrifices of intelligence officers like Ames and the others who died in Beirut, including the C.I.A. station chief Kenneth Haas, and James F. Lewis, who had been a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, and his wife Monique, who was on her first day on the job at the Beirut embassy. Nor did the President refer to any of the dozens of others for whom stars are etched on the hallowed C.I.A. wall of honor. It was like going to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and not mentioning those who died in the Second World War.

Words used in speeches - just a reminder of Trump and Hitler's collected speeches
From the Washington Post today -
From a Vanity Fair article in 1990 -
Donald Trump appears to take aspects of his German background seriously. John Walter works for the Trump Organization, and when he visits Donald in his office, Ivana told a friend, he clicks his heels and says, “Heil Hitler,” possibly as a family joke.
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”
