What has Trump done now?

[facthunter]

To Trump. ANYTHING with a touch of Obama on it has to GO. He doesn't think about things. He JUST reacts. I'm sorry for anyone who has to deal with him because it has to be a stacked Deck AND HE has to be the total Winner  with the Loser having to have his Nose rubbed in the Cat$#!t. Nev

Xi gives Trump the cold shoulder. 

When Trump arrived in China, no high level Chinese dignatory was there to greet him. Think about that! Here's the "Leader of the Free World" arriving in a country, and he is not greeted by anyone of note.

 

Compare that reception with that given to Obama 2015. I was looking for a video of Trump's arrival, but those I saw failed to point out the snub.

I think that is the Chinese way. The best way to humiliate Trump is to ignore him as best you can. Xi is a statesman, Trump is a buffoon.

Trump stepped off the plane followed by billionaires plus Eric and Lara. Imagine how outraged Trump would have been if Biden had got off the plane followed Hunter and his laptop. Now, it seems almost normal. Also, the Justice Department is trying to find a way to settle the $10 billion lawsuit Trump raised against the IRS for not doing enough to stop his tax returns from being made public. They want to settle before they have to go back to the judge to explain why it shouldn't get thrown out of court. The corruption continues.

Trump is Like a retarded MAFIA Boss, scared of being deposed. Nev

Another day, another consequence.

 

Trump imposed an embargo on the delivery of fuel supplies to Cuba, and threatened to impose tariffs on any country supplying Cuba with fuel. Cuba has now run out of fuel. It has no power. It is a humanitarian disaster.

 

But it's going to be OK. Trump said he was going to take over Cuba after he had finished with Iran. History has recycled to October 1962 - the Cuban Missile Crisis.

[facthunter]

The Bay of Pigs and Guantanamo Bay.   OBAMA tried to fix the Cuban crisis so Naturally Trump will try his best to Wreck it . Obama made the deal with Iran as well.  Denying a Place like CUBA, Fuel is going to cost Lives, and cause abject misery. Everything grinds to a Halt. It's inhuman,  Nev

Actually, Obama himself did not make the deal. That's the lie that Trump is telling. That deal was made by international cooperation with many countries. The Iranian nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was a landmark 2015 agreement between Iran and the P5+1 (the US, UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany) designed to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for economic sanctions relief. At the time, Obama was President, but I bet the deal had to be approved by Congress. In any case, as soon as Trump got into power in his first term, he pulled the USA out of it. 

 

That plan set a few end dates for the agreement and some of those dates came up in 2025. Therefore the plan is up for renegotiation. Because Trump pulled the USA out of the P5+1, the USA has no legitamate status in any future discussions. 

 

Here is another link I found that will provide you with information about the JCPOA. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounders/what-iran-nuclear-deal

By far the worst and most corrupt, personal greed move by Trump, will be carried out before May 20th. On that date, District Court Judge Kathleen Williams (note, not a U.S. Supreme Court Judge, and an appointee of Barack Obama) hands down her decision in Trumps lawsuit against the IRS.

 

In that lawsuit, Trump is suing the IRS for $10B for releasing his tax records, when an IRS employee leaked information to the NY Times for a story. Note that Trump has resisted all and every attempt to release his tax records.

 

But Judge Williams has indicated she must rule on whether there is a "case and consistency". This essentially means, because Trump controls the IRS, the Presidency, the DOJ and every other party involved in the lawsuit (including all the lawyers - because Trump essentially "owns" and "controls" all the IRS lawyers), Judge Williams is saying, there cannot be any viable case as there are no "opposing parties" (i.e., a defendant and plaintiff). 

 

So, in the best Trump fashion, Trump is now racing to reach an out-of-court settlement with the IRS, to beat Judge Williams decision being handed down on the 20th, where she will almost certainly declare there is no case to answer, and Trumps lawsuit is unsustainable and invalid.

 

The IRS is being pressured (by Trumps administration, of course) to reach an out-of-court settlement. This has happened before, to prevent adverse findings where complainants lodging unsustainable lawsuits reached a mediated settlement, and received major payouts.

 

It's a classic Clive Palmer modus operandi. Threaten to take someone to the cleaners over a spurious, dubious and legally unsustainable claim - then settle on the doorstep of the court.

 

If Trump settles with the IRS before the 20th May (as is highly likely to happen), he will then be in line for a major monetary settlement, possibly running into hundreds of millions of dollars. The scumbbaggery will continue.

Just another confirmation of how trump has no idea of what he is doing and never has. Obama was one of the better US presidents & that is the only reason Trump has to continually run him down and change everything he can that Obama had anything to do with.

[facthunter]

OME.  It was done while Obama was the POTUS. Trump has always had a THING about Obama. Obsessive to an extreme. HE is the Source of the "Birther" Lies about Obama. Its basis is Racism. Obama wasn't a VAIN WAR monger like Trump is. Nev

[old man emu]

It is true that the Plan was instituted when Obama was President, but it was not a US-only plan. It was a plan made in cooperation with the UK, France, China, Russia, and Germany and accepted by Iran. Considering that the plan was to limit Iran's ability to enrich uranium to weapons grade, and that Iran hated Israel so strongly, it is not hard to form an opinion as to which country pressured Trump to withdraw the USA from the plan. Biden during his term tried to reverse what Trump had done in pulling the USA out.

He's had it in for Obama ever since he humiliated Trump at the Correspondents' Dinner in 2011.

He's a petty little man. Reckon he must have been a bully at school.

 

This article sums up his (and his family's) profiting from his position. The extent of corruption and fraud is breathtaking. Any one thing he's done, if it had been any previous president doing it, would have led to impeachment and possibly jail. But he just does it so constantly that it's the new normal.
