Winning - July 2018

Keeping track of the GOP and Trump Administration:
  • 7/3 - Trump's "Pakistani mystery man" and Democrats cleared of conspiracy and illegal information access. Trump had already decided they were guilty. 
  • Scott Pruitt's aides reveal more details of his excessive spending and management abuse at EPA. King of the Swamp.
  • 7/5 - Corrupt EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt resigns, finally.
  • 7/6 - Trump starts the trade war with China.
  • China retaliates with tariffs on US goods.
  • 7/6 - Russia imposes tariffs on certain US goods. 
  • Trump's Mar-a-Lago applies for 61 foreign worker visas. Guess you can't find cooks and servers in the US.
  • North Korea contradicts Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's assessment of the denuclearization negotiations. He says good, they say regrettable.
  • White House legislative affairs director, Mark Short, resigns.
  • Trump completely botches the Helsinki news conference with Putin. His "would - wouldn't" explanation is laughable. 
  • Appeals Court nominee Ryan Bounds withdrawn because of writings that ridiculed multiculturalism and groups concerned with racial issues.  
  • There is a recording between Trump and Michael Cohen discussing payoffs to Karen McDougal. You know, the Playboy model and mistress who Trump knows nothing about.
  • Trump wants to revoke security clearance for his dissenters. Very dictatorish behavior. 
  • The Department of Agriculture will pay farmers hurt by Trump's tariffs $12 billion. "Tariffs are the greatest!"
  • Ivanka shuts down her fashion brand.
  • Putin's visit to the US pushed out to next year, after elections.
  • Federal judge allows emoluments suit against Trump to go forward. 
  • North Korea continues to enrich nuclear material and build ICBMs according to satellite evidence. This despite Trump's agreement with Kim Jong-un when he said Pyongyang was "no longer a Nuclear Threat."
