The Official Thread Dedicated to "Trump Winning"

This is so sad and pathetic. The pettiness of this President and those around him is on a whole different level. Really embarrasing for everyone involved. /smdh


White House Wanted USS John McCain ‘Out of Sight’ During Trump Japan Visit
https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-...WUdJs0k7z4QA==&reflink=article_imessage_share

This might be fake news. The Navy is denying any such requests were made and they didn't cover anything up with a tarp.

My feeling is that if something like this happened and the WSJ scooped it, there would be photos. Plus, there is all of that anonymously sourced information. I hate "anonymous sources." You can make up anything you want and say it is from anonymous sources. Who can prove that wrong?

It’s simple. McCain ****** up the overturn of Ocommiecare just to spite Trump and he also was the bagman who presented the fake Steele Dossier. **** McCain. He’s a mfing traitor. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this was fake news. The Only source is the establishment WSJ.
I’m no fan of McCain but he is a war hero, and every time Trump opens his mouth about him he makes himself look bad.

This does appear that it might be fake news, Navy is saying tarp was covering some repair work and was removed before Trump was there, and no ships were moved. Of course it’s already being taken as the gospel truth by some and Meghan McCain has already responded. Let the anonymous sources come forward if it’s true.

Trump: Whoever made the order was "well meaning."

"I didn't know a thing about it. I would never have done that," Trump told reporters as he departed the White House to deliver a commencement address at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.

You are correct sir. The name was covered up because they where spray painting the hull and didn't want to get over-spray on the letters. And it was done before Trump even got there. Whoever reported this knew that it was not true.

British Royal Family to Play a Big Role in Trump's Upcoming Visit to the UK


President Donald Trump's three-day state visit to the U.K. next month will be dominated by events with Britain's royal family, according to a new schedule released Friday by Buckingham Palace.

The prevalence of events with members of the royal family this time may also reflect a deeper understanding on the part of Trump's British hosts about what the president personally enjoys doing while on foreign trips. Lavish ceremonial and cultural events on prior trips elsewhere have pleased and impressed Trump to a great extent, and he has spoken glowingly of military parades and royal ceremonies he has experienced on other foreign trips.

This time around, the heir to the British throne, Charles, Prince of Wales, and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, will also play hosts. Also underscoring the personal nature of Trump's June trip is the fact that the president plans to bring all four of his adult children with him to the U.K. for the state visit, a White House official confirmed to CNBC on Friday. The optics of Britain's royal family hosting the extended Trump family are likely to create just the kind of imagery the president is known to appreciate.

Below is an abridged list of the events Trump is expected to attend in the U.K. that will feature members of the royal family, according to the Buckingham Palace schedule.

MONDAY 3rd JUNE

The President of the United States of America and Mrs. Trump will arrive in the UK on the morning of Monday 3rd June.

Her Majesty The Queen, joined by The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, will officially welcome The President and Mrs Trump at Buckingham Palace. The President will receive a Ceremonial Welcome in the Buckingham Palace Garden and The President, accompanied by The Prince of Wales, will inspect the Guard of Honour.

The Queen will host a private lunch at Buckingham Palace for the President and First Lady, after which Her Majesty will invite The President and Mrs. Trump to view a special exhibition in the Picture Gallery, which will showcase items of historical significance to the United States from the Royal Collection.

Afterwards, The President and Mrs. Trump, accompanied by The Duke of York, will visit Westminster Abbey.

The President and Mrs. Trump will then join The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall for tea at Clarence House.

In the evening, Her Majesty The Queen will give a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace for The President of the United States of America and Mrs. Trump.

TUESDAY 4th JUNE

On Tuesday morning, The President and The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon Theresa May MP will co-host a business breakfast meeting, attended by The Duke of York, at St James's Palace, with senior UK and US business leaders.

In the evening, The President and Mrs. Trump will host a return dinner at Winfield House, the Residence of the Ambassador of the United States of America. The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will attend the dinner on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen.

WEDNESDAY 5th JUNE

On Wednesday, The Queen, accompanied by The Prince of Wales, with The President and Mrs. Trump, will attend the National Commemorative Event for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Southsea Common, Portsmouth, alongside over 300 D-Day veterans.

The Queen will formally bid farewell to The President and Mrs. Trump in Portsmouth.

What's embarrassing Tibs, is you. Hiding, re-appearing predictably, hiding again. Then you post this ****. You are off the reservation.

Once again Tibs, you have posted Fake News on this site, a nasty, repetitive habit you have. This story is false, but your media ran with it, and you once again drank it up like a fool. Like you have every other false story that appeals to your sick Liberal senses, like the Nicholas Sandman staged drama.

The photo you've shared here isn't from the day in question.

You're disturbing. And you're blind.

Can They Get Anything Right? Looks Like That ‘Trump Wanted The USS McCain Obscured’ Story Is Fake News

@chinfo
The name of USS John S. McCain was not obscured during the POTUS visit to Yokosuka on Memorial Day. The Navy is proud of that ship, its crew, its namesake and its heritage.

Don't worry, it's only bad when Republicans source fake news.

When Tibs does it, it's no bid deal. He had good intentions to make Trump look bad, and anything that accomplishes that goal is okay. Ends justify the means to liberals right now because they consider Trump the devil.

You are correct sir. The name was covered up because they where spray painting the hull and didn't want to get over-spray on the letters. And it was done before Trump even got there. Whoever reported this knew that it was not true.

Remember that the USS John McCain is under repair after colliding with a merchant vessel. It apparently is common practice not to have ships under repair in the background of photos during these visits. Just standard procedure that was used to try and make Trump look bad, IMO.
 
This might be fake news. The Navy is denying any such requests were made and they didn't cover anything up with a tarp.

I bought it. Dumbass, should've known better.

Yep. Doesn't make you a dumbass. The media is corrupt. They intentionally took a photo from a day (or days) prior when the ship was having some touch up paint being done. The photo was not from the same day. They then reported that it was the same day. Without the US Navy stepping up and calling it false, no one would have been the wiser. It was intentional deception aimed at creating public discord against a President they despise. They will lie to you. They have lied to you. They will continue to lie to you.
 
The media is corrupt. They will lie to you. They have lied to you. They will continue to lie to you.

Beware of false prophets like Tim. Trump himself responded to the situation this morning. But wait.... what, it never happened? Trump is reacting to an event made up out of thin air by the leftist media? Yeah, the leftist media, like the ******* Wall Street Journal. What a bizarre world we live in. I think it's safe to say the Trump base has collectively lost their minds.

President Trump on Thursday defended as “well-meaning” a White House official who directed the Navy to obscure the warship USS John S. McCain while Trump was visiting Japan, but he said he had no advance knowledge of the action.

“I don’t know what happened. I was not involved. I would not have done that,” Trump told reporters as he was leaving the White House for Colorado, where he is scheduled to address an Air Force Academy graduation ceremony.

Trump, however, suggested that his disdain for the late senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) is well-known and that it was understandable that someone would try to keep a warship originally named for McCain’s father and grandfather, both Navy admirals, from his view.

“I was not a big fan of John McCain in any shape or form,” Trump said. “Now, somebody did it because they thought I didn’t like him, okay? And they were well-meaning.”

From TIME no less Tibs. Your initial reporting of the story was a repetition of what has proven to be fake news. Maybe not 100% false, but the initial stories, like Covington, are full of falsehoods.

You spread that nonsense as well.

http://time.com/5597968/uss-john-mccain-donald-trump-japan/

Earlier Thursday morning, White House Deputy Communications Director Mercedes Schlapp dismissed the reports about the John McCain as “fake news” on Fox & Friends.

The Journal also reported that sailors working on the warship, who typically wear caps bearing its name, were asked to take the day off during Trump’s visit. U.S. officials denied that sailors on the John McCain had been told to stay away, but said that many had departed for the long weekend.

Trump tweeted earlier that he was “not informed” of the directive.

U.S. officials said that the tarp was placed on the ship for maintenance, but it was taken down for the visit. A spokesperson for U.S. 7th fleet said that the tarp had been removed before Trump’s Saturday morning visit, and that all ships were in “normal configuration.”

In addition the US Navy has called these claims made by the WSJ false.

They also stated that this photo, purported to have been taken that day, was from days prior

You call claims facts when the claims are merely that and refuted by the United States Navy itself.
 
This is what the Dims are hyperventilating about today. Good stuff...


As everyone knows, the United States of America has been invaded by hundreds of thousands of people coming through Mexico and entering our country illegally. This sustained influx of illegal aliens has profound consequences on every aspect of our national life—overwhelming our schools, overcrowding our hospitals, draining our welfare system, and causing untold amounts of crime. Gang members, smugglers, human traffickers, and illegal drugs and narcotics of all kinds are pouring across the Southern Border and directly into our communities. Thousands of innocent lives are taken every year as a result of this lawless chaos. It must end NOW!

Mexico’s passive cooperation in allowing this mass incursion constitutes an emergency and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States. Mexico has very strong immigration laws and could easily halt the illegal flow of migrants, including by returning them to their home countries. Additionally, Mexico could quickly and easily stop illegal aliens from coming through its southern border with Guatemala.

For decades, the United States has suffered the severe and dangerous consequences of illegal immigration. Sadly, Mexico has allowed this situation to go on for many years, growing only worse with the passage of time. From a safety, national security, military, economic, and humanitarian standpoint, we cannot allow this grave disaster to continue. The current state of affairs is profoundly unfair to the American taxpayer, who bears the extraordinary financial cost imposed by large-scale illegal migration. Even worse is the terrible and preventable loss of human life. Some of the most deadly and vicious gangs on the planet operate just across our border and terrorize innocent communities.

Mexico must step up and help solve this problem. We welcome people who come to the United States legally, but we cannot allow our laws to be broken and our borders to be violated. For years, Mexico has not treated us fairly—but we are now asserting our rights as a sovereign Nation.

To address the emergency at the Southern Border, I am invoking the authorities granted to me by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Accordingly, starting on June 10, 2019, the United States will impose a 5 percent Tariff on all goods imported from Mexico. If the illegal migration crisis is alleviated through effective actions taken by Mexico, to be determined in our sole discretion and judgment, the Tariffs will be removed. If the crisis persists, however, the Tariffs will be raised to 10 percent on July 1, 2019. Similarly, if Mexico still has not taken action to dramatically reduce or eliminate the number of illegal aliens crossing its territory into the United States, Tariffs will be increased to 15 percent on August 1, 2019, to 20 percent on September 1, 2019, and to 25 percent on October 1, 2019. Tariffs will permanently remain at the 25 percent level unless and until Mexico substantially stops the illegal inflow of aliens coming through its territory. Workers who come to our country through the legal admissions process, including those working on farms, ranches, and in other businesses, will be allowed easy passage.

If Mexico fails to act, Tariffs will remain at the high level, and companies located in Mexico may start moving back to the United States to make their products and goods. Companies that relocate to the United States will not pay the Tariffs or be affected in any way.

Over the years, Mexico has made massive amounts of money in its dealings with the United States, and this includes the tremendous number of jobs leaving our country.

Should Mexico choose not to cooperate on reducing unlawful migration, the sustained imposition of Tariffs will produce a massive return of jobs back to American cities and towns. Remember, our great country has been the “piggy bank” from which everybody wants only to TAKE. The difference is that now we are firmly and forcefully standing up for America’s interests.

We have confidence that Mexico can and will act swiftly to help the United States stop this long-term, dangerous, and deeply unfair problem. The United States has been very good to Mexico for many years. We are now asking that Mexico immediately do its fair share to stop the use of its territory as a conduit for illegal immigration into our country.

The cartels and coyotes are having a greater and greater impact on the Mexican side of our Southern Border. This is a dire threat that must be decisively eliminated. Billions of dollars are made, and countless lives are ruined, by these ruthless and merciless criminal organizations. Mexico must bring law and order to its side of the border.

Democrats in Congress are fully aware of this horrible situation and yet refuse to help in any way, shape, or form. This is a total dereliction of duty. The migrant crisis is a calamity that must now be solved—and can easily be solved—in Congress. Our broken asylum laws, court system, catch-and-release, visa lottery, chain migration, and many other loopholes can all be promptly corrected. When that happens, the measures being announced today can be more readily reduced or removed.

The United States is a great country that can no longer be exploited due to its foolish and irresponsible immigration laws. For the sake of our people, and for the sake of our future, these horrendous laws must be changed now.

At the same time, Mexico cannot allow hundreds of thousands of people to pour over its land and into our country—violating the sovereign territory of the United States. If Mexico does not take decisive measures, it will come at a significant price.

We therefore look forward to, and appreciate, the swift and effective actions that we hope Mexico will immediately install.

As President of the United States, my highest duty is the defense of the country and its citizens. A nation without borders is not a nation at all. I will not stand by and allow our sovereignty to be eroded, our laws to be trampled, or our borders to be disrespected anymore.

On June 10th, the United States will impose a 5% Tariff on all goods coming into our Country from Mexico, until such time as illegal migrants coming through Mexico, and into our Country, STOP. The Tariff will gradually increase until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied,..

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2019
 
Indy, I cannot comment on the Mexico tariffs until I learn what Rebecca Ballhouse has to say on the issue.
 
I have argued this with my liberal friends as well.

If the situation in Central America really does rise to a "Refugee Crisis" and qualify for asylum under international law, then the minute those people enter Mexico, they are no longer refugees because they are safe there.

The choice to run from El Salvador to Mexico could be unavoidable. The choice to to travel THROUGH Mexico to the United States border is purely for economic reasons, thus voiding any asylum issues.

The same was true during the Syrian refugee crisis into Europe as well. Once they got to Turkey, they were no longer refugees and were safe. Any decision to travel further was only fueled by economic decisions.

The truth is, if Central America truly is an refugee crisis, international support (i.e. equally from Europe, China and United States as the three major economic powers) should be sent to Mexico for temporary refugee camps and ALL the refugees should be equally sent (by population) to countries around the world that help on refugees.

That's what Europe and Obama wanted us to do with Syrians. Why can't Europe step up and help Mexico out with Central Americans? Oh, the bullshit liberals told us about Syria doesn't work both ways? That makes complete sense.

Ha ha! I think Trump nailed this one. Escalating tariffs that give Mexico less than a month to get off their *** before they start increasing. Beautiful. This really proves that the Dims are anti-American globalists. It makes them look horrible, which they are, on border security and the well-being of America. Trump tried everything possible to work with Dims and RHINOS and they refused to control our border. Now he has to use Mexico to get it done. (Remember, “Mexico will pay for it!”) I put this in the Winning thread because Trump just scored bigly. This is a yuge step in making his 2020 win a slam dunk and probably winning the House back too, and then it’s a four year cakewalk with no resistance. The man is just awesome. He doesn’t give up. I’m not sick of winning.
