Chutzpah? I think so.


CHUTZPAH?

In India, conducting family business, Donald Trump Jr. said that any talk of his family profiting from his father's presidency is “nonsense." He is totally oblivious to the fact that ethical concerns about using the name of the American president to promote international business ventures are rampant.

Junior is in India specifically to meet promoters and buyers of Trump-brand luxury homes in the country. He says his family is actually missing out on business opportunities because his father pledged to conduct no new foreign business while he was in office. Even though proof exists that this is a lie, h persists in relaying the falsehood. 

Junior says people forget about "the opportunity cost of the deals that we were not able to do.” Asked, “Like what? He had no comment.

"It's sort of a shame. Because we put on all these impositions on ourselves and essentially got no credit for actually doing that ... for doing the right thing," he added.

For at least a week before he even arrived in India, major Indian newspapers carried glossy, front-page advertisements with the statement, "Trump has arrived. Have you?”

Ads prominently promised that buyers who order apartments in a new Trump-brand luxury real estate development in a suburb of the Indian capital by Thursday will get "a conversation and dinner" with Trump Jr. a day later. Why would anyone want to meet with Junior? Access.

He will be visiting and promote Trump-business in all the Trump-brand projects across four Indian cities. Only news organizations chosen by his team have had access to him. None mainstream. 


Despite promises by his father, the Trump Organization has licensing agreements with all its Indian business partners. They build the properties and acquire the Trump name in exchange for a fee. With five projects in India, the country is the brand's largest market outside the United States. Amey added that several foreign deals touted by the president's two adult sons have "stretched the definition of what ventures were previously in the works, (before Donald Trump became president).”

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...

The Country doesn't work. To bring down the Whole Country and Stephen  Bannon STATED VERBALLY and in PRINT he wanted to do.
