Yesterday, President Donald Trump spoke in front of a gaggle of reporters and made a series of unhinged and outright false claims about his political opponents, the still-anonymous whistleblower, and the news media.
"Highlights":
1.) Trump says that the whistleblower should be exposed and the whistleblower’s lawyer “sued for treason.”
The president continued calling for the public release of the whistleblower’s name, which would be against the law, before serving up a particularly weird attack on Mark Zaid, the attorney representing the whistleblower.
According to PBS News’ Yamiche Alcindor, the president said Zaid should be sued “maybe for treason.”
2.) Trump says he might endorse Jeff Sessions after all because the former attorney general said “very nice things” about him in his campaign launch video.
Even though the president still reportedly loathes Sessions for not doing enough to block special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, he said on Friday that he might be open to endorsing him in the Alabama Senate race next year. “I saw he said very nice things about me last night,” Trump said of Sessions. “But we’ll have to see.”
3.) Trump says he doesn’t know the man whom he appointed to be America’s ambassador to the European Union.
American EU ambassador Gordon Sondland testified this week that he told Ukrainian officials that military aid to their country would not be released unless they agreed to launch investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden. When asked about this by a reporter, Trump began by saying, “I hardly know the gentleman.”
Other witnesses have testified that Sondland was regularly in contact with Trump this year, however, and Trump called Sondland “a really good man and great American” just one month ago.
4.) Trump melted down and kept yelling, “Quiet!” at a reporter.
While the president was trying to accuse former Vice President Joe Biden of corruption, a reporter interrupted him with a question, which made Trump visibly angry. “Be quiet,” Trump said. “Be quiet! Quiet! Quiet!”
5.) Trump stuns reporters by saying he might attend Russia’s May Day military parade.
Trump revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has invited him to attend next year’s May Day Parade in Moscow.
“President Putin invited me to the — it’s a very big deal!” he said. “Celebrating the end of the war, etc., etc. A very big deal. So I appreciate the invitation… I would love to go if I could.”

Video Showing Trump As A Mass Murderer
Disturbing as fuck:
With that in mind, The New York Times reported this incident Sunday night:
A video depicting a macabre scene of a fake President Trump shooting, stabbing and brutally assaulting members of the news media and his political opponents was shown at a conference for his supporters at his Miami resort last week, according to footage obtained by The New York Times. Several of Mr. Trump’s top surrogates — including his son Donald Trump Jr., his former spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis — were scheduled to speak at the three-day conference, which was held by a pro-Trump group, American Priority, at Trump National Doral Miami. Ms. Sanders and a person close to Mr. Trump’s son said on Sunday that they did not see the video at the conference. The video, which includes the logo for Mr. Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, comprises a series of internet memes. The most violent clip shows Mr. Trump’s head superimposed on the body of a man opening fire inside the “Church of Fake News” on parishioners who have the faces of his critics or the logos of media organizations superimposed on their bodies. It appears to be an edited scene of a church massacre from the 2014 dark comedy film “Kingsman: The Secret Service.”
Politico adds details of "targets" from the video:
Besides journalists, other targets depicted include the late John McCain, California Reps. Adam Schiff and Maxine Waters, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. The Trump character in the video shoots, stab and beats his victims; at one point, he sets Bernie Sanders’ head on fire. Other past and present election rivals also are depicted.
NBC News reports a video matching this description appeared on YouTube in September 2018.
The White House Correspondents Association responded in a statement:
“All Americans should condemn this depiction of violence directed toward journalists and the President’s political opponents. We have previously told the President his rhetoric could incite violence. Now we call on him and everybody associated with this conference to denounce this video and affirm that violence has no place in our society.”
Organizers denounced the video and claim it was part of a "meme exhibit" submitted by third parties.
An American Priorities spokesman told NBC News, "The organizers of #AMPFest19 were not even aware of the video until they were contacted by the New York Times." A Trump campaign spokesman, Tim Murtaugh, told the Times he had no knowledge of the video and said, “That video was not produced by the campaign, and we do not condone violence.”
Someone at the campaign ought to alert the boss:
“I want to know who’s the person who gave the whistle-blower the information because that’s close to a spy,” Mr. Trump said. “You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart with spies and treason, right? We used to handle it a little differently than we do now.”

The Sliming of Ambassador Marie Yavonovitch
Opening Statement of Marie L. Yovanovitch to the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee onIntelligence, Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Committee onOversight and Reform
For the last 33 years, it has been my great honor to serve the American people as a Foreign Service Officer, over six Administrations—four Republican, and two Democratic. I have served in seven different countries, five of them hardship posts, and was appointed to serve as an ambassador three times—twice by a Republican President, and once by a Democrat. Throughout my career, I have stayed true to the oath that Foreign Service Officers take and observe every day: “that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;” and “that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Like all foreign service officers with whom I have been privileged to serve, I have understood that oath as a commitment to serve on a strictly nonpartisan basis, to advance the foreign policy determined by the incumbent President, and to work at all times to strengthen our national security and promote our national interests.She goes on to explain her history and work in Ukraine and how she was slimed by the Trump administration, the worst most corrupt and treasonous POTUS ever.
Grieving Parents ‘Ambushed’ by Trump, Who Had Teen’s Killer Waiting at White House
This story is unbelievable but indeed, this is the psychotic asshole we have as president:
You can almost imagine the reality-show excitement that surely went into the ill-considered plan to introduce Anne Sacoolas, the American diplomatic wife who killed 19-year-old motorcyclist Harry Dunn when she drove down the wrong side of an English lane in August, to Dunn’s grieving parents.
Sacoolas left the U.K. in early September under diplomatic-immunity protections and has not been seen in public since. The Dunn family, now in the United States to drum up support to send Sacoolas back to the U.K. to face justice, had accepted an “urgent” invitation by the White House from National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, to visit Donald Trump in Washington, D.C.
Trump, it seems, thought he could convince the Dunns to meet the woman who killed their son, and would do so by opening a side door through which she would walk. The whole scene would be captured by a pool of photographers who had been summoned for the meeting.
But the Dunns would have none of it and refused to meet her. Dunn family spokesman Radd Seiger said that the family felt “ambushed” when the “bombshell” was dropped that Sacoolas was next door.
The Psycho POTUS Yells Treason
Two weeks ago the President of the United States said that Democratic US Congressional Representative Adam Schiff should be arrested and charged with treason.
He said Schiff committed treason by paraphrasing what Trump said in a phone call, and used a sarcastic manner.
Basically everyone just laughed it off and ignored it as the ravings of a lunatic and nothing was done about it.
But this is the *President of the United States*.
Trump basically has no credibility at all and can be laughed at and ignored because he is a ridiculous person.
Great job, Republicans.
MAGA.
