I think we're talking past one another...

The point I'm making is that, the GOP should try to explain why these policies make sense for everyday Americans, including Latinos. Otherwise, for many people, including myself, it doesn't make much sense.

Which policies? Their immigration policies? They don't make sense. Their other policies? They can't explain it without contradicting themselves.

With Democrats, they don't pay lip service to the debt or government spending, so they can do whatever they want to keep their masters happy. Want to invade another country? Go ahead. Money is no object. Bankers are hungry? Have the federal government borrow some more money from them. And they can sell that as taking care of people.

Republicans try to appeal to the few people left that have enough sense to know things can't go on like this, but they serve the same masters, so instead of new spending programs, they cut taxes while not cutting a penny of spending, the new borrowing pleasing the bankers. The idea that the federal government can't take care of everyone should make sense to everyone. It is $20 trillion in debt. There is no money. But when Republicans say that, and turn around and start wars and build walls and raid weed shops and tell people who they can and can't marry, what undecided voter is going to take them seriously?

Haitian Government Claims Ousted Dictator ‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier Laundered Stolen Money through Trump Tower

President Donald Trump insulted Haiti during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers, but he once signed off on a shady real estate deal with the nation’s ousted dictator.

More than a fifth of Trump’s condominiums in the U.S. have been purchased since the 1980s in secretive cash transactions that fit a Treasury Department definition of suspicious transactions, reported Buzzfeed News. Records show more than 1,300 Trump condos were purchased through shell companies, which allow buyers to shield their finances and identities, and without a mortgage, which protects buyers from lender inquiries.

Those two characteristics raise alarms about possible money laundering, according to statements issued in recent months by the Department of Treasury, which has investigated transactions just like those all over the country. The agency may even require real estate professionals to adopt new programs to keep illegally obtained funds from being plowed into luxury housing to conceal the money’s origins.

Trump companies reportedly sold $35 million in real estate last year alone — mostly to secretive shell companies that open the president up to possible influence peddling.

The Haitian government complained in the 1980s that former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier laundered money stolen from the Caribbean nation’s treasury by purchasing an apartment in Trump Tower.

Duvalier, nicknamed “Baby Doc,” was overthrown in 1986, but three years earlier used a Panamanian shell company called Lasa Trade and Finance to buy apartment 54-K in Trump’s Manhattan tower for $446,875 cash.

Trump, the future U.S. president, signed the deed of sale.

Federal prosecutors charged a Russian native in 1984 with laundering the proceeds from a gasoline bootlegging operation through five Trump Tower condos purchased for $4.9 million. David Bogatin pleaded guilty in 1987 and served eight years in federal prison.

Trump Taj Mahal casino was charged under anti-money laundering regulations 106 times in 1990 and 1991 by failing to identify gamblers who bought or cashed out more than $10,000 in chips. Those reports are required to help authorities identify gamblers who may be laundering money, and Trump’s casino paid a $477,000 fine to the Treasury Department in 1998 without admitting wrongdoing.

This gif pretty much applies to any time Trump says something racist, sexist, ignorant, moronic, etc. Also any time it's revealed he did something corrupt, lied about something innocuous, lied about something significant, lied in general, etc.

What a racist piece of shit. It’s clear those fine black people in that clip hate him. He needs to step down immediately.

The only thing better than "I have black friends" is defending a racist president with "he has black friends".
 
He put noted community activist and man of the people Ben Carson in charge of HUD.

He gave an address commemorating MLK.

No possible way he could be racist. You libs are never happy with anything he does, including the overt racism.
 
Seems like a conflict...
 

Without a hell of a lot more details and context, it's completely meaningless. But, it is interesting as hell that when some people read articles such as this, they don't consider what details and context they may lack before leaping to conclusions. Some joker sends out a tweet, and that's all it takes.

If it can be spun as something rotten about someone they don't like, that's all the context they need.

Now this still seems like a fringe theory and we will see if anything else comes of it, but given his history of lying (including with a bogus physician), it sadly isn’t outside the realm of possibility.

The fact is that not even a doctor’s note should be taken at face value from this bullshit administration. Trump is sad and desperate enough to pull this kind of stunt, which if confirmed would be somewhere around 4 or 5 on the daily scandal rankings.
