Trump courts Hispanic voters in Las Vegas with blistering attack on Biden

Sep. 13 - President Trump on Sunday made his case to Hispanic voters at a “Latinos for Trump” roundtable in Las Vegas — often at the expense of his Democratic challenger.

“While Joe Biden failed Hispanic-Americans, I’ve delivered for Hispanic-Americans more than any other president,” Trump said. “I’m fighting for you every single day, and you understand that better than anybody.”


Touting his “unwavering devotion” to the Latino community, Trump specifically cited his administration’s cuts of taxes and regulations, and the speed with which the economy has bounced back following the worst of the coronavirus shutdown.

But Trump also picked up where he left off at a Saturday night rally in Reno, Nev., slamming the record of former Vice President Biden.

“Joe Biden has spent 47 years betrayed the Hispanic-American community totally, sending their jobs to China, raising taxes on their family and small businesses, making their communities less safe, attacking their values and trapping their children in failing government schools,” Trump charged.

“He’s in his basement right now and he’s saying, ‘What do I do?'” ...  and    more

President Trump Hosts "Latinos for Trump" Roundtable in Las Vegas
President Trump hosted a ‘Latinos for Trump’ campaign roundtable at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, a property owned by Phil Ruffin, a business partner of the Trump Organization. At the top of the event, President Trump talked about some of his administration’s first-term actions aimed at lowering Latino unemployment. Then the participants, most of them small business owners in the Las Vegas area, talked about why they were supporting President Trump’s campaign for reelection. The roundtable was part of a multi-state swing through Western states, including Nevada, California, and Arizona.
US Presidential Election: 2020 Is Not 2016
Joe Biden will be vilified more and more by the Trump campaign as the election approaches. But this vilification is likely to be confined to inside the right-wing echo chamber.

Donald Trump’s ‘Fatal Flaw’ Might Have Been Exposed By Bob Woodward Interviews, Columnist Says

Sep. 13 - In a Saturday piece for Salon, columnist Lucian K. Truscott IV argued that Bob Woodward’s interviews from his forthcoming book, Rage, might have exposed Donald Trump’s “fatal flaw.” In particular, the writer noted the reports that the president was briefed by national security adviser Robert O’Brien on Jan. 28 about the danger and severity of the coronavirus.

Instead of telling Americans and working to unite them, Truscott noted that the president chose instead to play down the severity of the virus. The writer argued that this choice reveals Trump’s weakness as a lack of confidence in himself and his ability to influence others without money.
“He doesn’t believe in himself, so he has never believed in his ability to influence others,” the columnist wrote.

“Donald Trump had no understanding of what I call the exercise of power in the absence of money. This is power at its most absolute, the power to motivate soldiers to risk their lives in combat, the power to motivate doctors and nurses to risk their lives treating patients with deadly communicable diseases, the power that motivates someone to give his or her life for another”...

It follows highly negative articles about Trump, including one on September 3 in the Atlantic claiming that he had called fallen troops 'losers', and a tape released by Bob Woodward on September 9 revealing Trump admitting in February that he was publicly downplaying the seriousness of coronavirus.     more

U.S. 'deeply concerned' about Hong Kong activists held in China: Pompeo

Sep. 12, WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday the United States is deeply concerned about 12 Hong Kong democracy activists being held in China’s Guangdong province, saying they have been denied access to lawyers and local authorities have not provided information on their welfare or the charges against them.


The United States questions the Hong Kong leadership’s commitments to protecting citizens’ rights, Pompeo said in a statement. The activists were arrested about two weeks ago off the coast of Hong Kong, according to the statement.

At the end of August the provincial Coast Guard Bureau said in a post on its social media site that it had arrested at least 10 people after intercepting a boat off the cost of the southern province of Guangdong. Hong Kong media, citing unidentified sources, said the 12 were headed to Taiwan to apply for political asylum.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said earlier this week that if they “were arrested for breaching mainland offences then they have to be dealt with according to the mainland laws.”

“We question Chief Executive Lam’s stated commitment to protecting the rights of Hong Kong residents, and call on authorities to ensure due process,” Pompeo said....     more

President Trump Remarks in Freeland, Michigan
During a campaign appearance in Freeland, Michigan, President Trump touts his domestic and foreign policy accomplishments, goes after Joe Biden’s record, and criticizes Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, calling him a “whackjob.”
President Donald Trump says he’s running for reelection to ‘keep jobs in Michigan’

Sep. 10 - FREELAND, MI -- President Donald Trump railed against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s record on the economy and promised a quick recovery while campaigning in Michigan on Thursday.
Trump claimed he “saved the U.S. auto industry,” and touted his rewrite of the North American Free Trade Agreement, claiming Biden allowed jobs to leave the country. Biden just one day prior visited Michigan himself to unveil his plan to boost job growth. Both candidates visited counties Trump flipped in 2016, playing a key role in helping him become the first Republican to win Michigan in nearly three decades.


“From Grand Rapids to Saginaw, from Kalamazoo to Mackinac and from Flint to right here in Freeland ... This is the state where tough, strong, determined workers made America into the greatest and most powerful nation in the history of the world.” Trump said toward the end of his 1-hour-and-20 minute speech.
Biden and his supporters have highlighted his work to support Michigan during the 2009 bailout of General Motors and Chrysler, and to support Detroit during its bankruptcy. Michigan Democrats have often said Biden “saved” the auto industry...     more

If Woodward is right, Trump let Americans die for political gains

Sep. 11 - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has been uniquely fraught with scandal. As expected, there's been dozens of books published about his presidency. Through them, we've learned (allegedly) that Trump didn't want nor expect his presidential campaign to win, that he went to the movies while his brother died alone in a hospital and that the White House has "no coherent basis, no strategy, no philosophy." The president also concealed the danger of the coronavirus from the public, according to journalist Bob Woodward's upcoming book, "Rage."

Woodward pieces together a very disturbing timeline of events in regards to Trump's private attitude toward the spread of the coronavirus. They detail exactly how much the presidency was aware of the dangers while publicly downplaying it.
 
"I wanted to always play it down," Trump allegedly told Woodward on March 19, adding "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic." As the president began urging states to reopen in April, he had allegedly told Woodward "it's so easily transmissible, you wouldn't even believe it."

And most disturbingly, while the president repeatedly said that children are "almost immune" when discussing his desire for schools to reopen, he privately told Woodward on one occasion that "just today and yesterday, some startling facts came out. It's not just old, older. Young people too – plenty of young people."...     more

How 2020 election could affect US’ global standing

Sep. 10 - ...The atmosphere in which the election is taking place is again, sadly, not new. Violence and “law and order” is not a new theme (just think of 1968), but the ferocity associated with events following the death of George Floyd feels different and it illustrates the new power of personal media and its focused messaging. These have two rather frightening potential consequences for US watchers. Firstly, the number of armed militias, with non-uniform uniforms, prepared to act as judge and jury according to an agenda they set themselves. We have always known that the US has the highest number of civilian guns per capita in the world — it needs a consensual social contract in place to ensure something doesn’t go wrong. And, secondly, the risk of an election result not being accepted by one party or another, claiming fraud and malpractice, leaching into the situation of arms and agendas, ending that social contract. An unresolved election is high on our list of worries at present...     source
