"Although [GOP fundraiser] Mr. Broidy said that Mr. Trump was 'an idiot,' who 'could not even pronounce the names of countries correctly,' " the newly unsealed court documents filed by Bechard say, "Mr. Broidy admired Mr. Trump's uncanny ability to sexually abuse woman and get away with it. Mr. Broidy began to hurt Ms. Bechard physically during their sexual activities -- touching her in ways to which she did not consent."

Un collectif de juristes et de responsables religieux a demandé mercredi la révocation de la licence de vente d'alcool à l'hôtel Trump International de Washington, estimant que le président américain ne répond pas au critère d'«honnêteté» inscrit dans la loi de la capitale fédérale. (..) Les signataires - deux anciens juges, trois pasteurs et deux rabbins - affirment que M. Trump, «dans son attitude avant et pendant son mandat, a démontré qu'il n'était pas une personne honnête». (..) La plainte évoque «la longue histoire de mensonges» de Donald Trump sur l'étendue de sa fortune, les conflits d'intérêts avec son empire économique ou sa relation avec l'actrice pornographique Stormy Daniels. Il aurait aussi «profité de ceux qui sont moins puissants, une caractéristique des personnes malhonnêtes», estime le collectif, qui cite les 16 plaintes pour agressions sexuelles déposées contre M. Trump ou ses «nombreux commentaires ouvertement racistes».

Pas sûr que le Daily News de New York aurait publié cette une à l’époque où le magnat de l’immobilier Mort Zuckerman, ardent défenseur d’Israël (et natif de Montréal), en était le propriétaire. En qualifiant Ivanka Trump de «petit vampire à papa», le tabloïd a clairement signifié qu’il ne se satisfaisait pas de la position de la Maison-Blanche selon laquelle le Hamas était entièrement responsable de la mort des 59 Palestiniens tués par des soldats israéliens lors des manifestations dans la bande de Gaza qui ont précédé l’ouverture de la nouvelle ambassade des États-Unis à Jérusalem.

Paul Krugman thinks the Republican tax law is failing to stimulate economic growth as promised. Republicans promised last year that lowering the corporate tax rate would encourage companies to invest more in new factories and equipment, which would create jobs and boost the economy. But so far, many companies have used the money to reward shareholders... One recent example is Apple (AAPL), which announced Tuesday that it will spend $100 billion more on stock buybacks...Wall Street usually loves buybacks because they provide persistent demand for stocks while inflating earnings per share. But Goldman Sachs (GS) expressed skepticism last week about companies focused on returning vast amounts of cash through buybacks and dividends instead of investing.

Le livre de James Comey, intitulé A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, dresse le portrait d'un président menteur son entourage à un code de loyauté rappelant l'attitude d'un chef «mafieux».
«Le cercle silencieux qui acquiesce. Le boss qui fait le jour et la nuit. Les serments de fidélité. La vision du monde selon laquelle tous sont contre nous. Le mensonge généralisé, qu'il soit petit ou gros, au service d'une sorte de code de loyauté qui place l'organisation au-dessus de la moralité et de la vérité», écrit-il en particulier. Pour James Comey, le 45e président des États-Unis est «détaché de la vérité et des valeurs institutionnelles».

 President Trump tweeted, "I really like the Koch Brothers (members of my [Palm Beach] Club), but I don't want their money or anything else from them. Cannot influence Trump!"
The Kochs spent $20 million to promote the unpopular Republican tax cuts, and now stand to see their tax bill slashed by as much as $1.4 billion a year. They thanked Speaker Paul Ryan for pushing it through with a $500,000 donation to his political fundraising committee and a promise to spend $20 million more to tout the tax giveaway in upcoming elections. When billionaires spend millions to convince Americans that the tax cuts are good, it might actually be a sign that for most people, they aren't.

Last February, he signed a measure that revoked an Obama-era regulation, which required the Social Security Administration to disclose information to the national gun background check system about certain people with mental illness on a quarterly basis. "So President Trump now, based on his actions, allows mentally ill people to purchase guns when over a year ago they could not," Bogen said. Bogen argued that Trump is a hypocrite because he supports the purchasing of assault weapons, "and then comes down here and wants to act as though this is horrible, and this shouldn't happen, but goes back to Washington and supports it." "It is hypocrisy, it is absolute hypocrisy," Bogen said.

«Je ne couperai pas dans le régime de pension (Social Security) comme tous les autres républicains et je ne couperai pas les programmes d’assurance-maladie (Medicare et Medicaid).» Pendant sa campagne présidentielle, Donald Trump a fait cette promesse. Hier, en dévoilant son budget pour l’année 2019, il l’a trahi de façon spectaculaire. Il propose des coupes de 554 milliards de dollars sur dix au programme d’assurance-maladie pour les personnes âgées et handicapées (Medicare) et de 250 milliards de dollars sur dix ans au programme d’assurance-maladie pour les personnes à faible revenu (Medicaid). Les coupes proposées par Donald Trump ne s’arrêtent pas là. Le président s’attaque à plusieurs autres dépenses non-militaires, dont celles liées à l’aide alimentaire, la protection de l’environnement et l’éducation. Malgré tout, ce budget ajouterait 984 milliards de dollars au déficit en 2019 et 7 000 milliards de dollars au déficit sur une décennie
