Call it Trump's Law.

The more Trump fears he's slipping on the economy, the louder he'll crank up the dial on his hate.

The new Post poll finds Trump is cratering among independents and educated whites, especially on the economy and trade.

New piece:

Trump is frantically trying to salvage NC-9. He won it by 11 points.

@BowTiePolitics, an NC politics expert, tells me Trump has so badly alienated moderates that he needs to madly pump the base just to get over the top even in a very pro-Trump district:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@BowTiePolitics A question:

If Trump were really presiding over the greatest economy in US history, and if he were really crushing China into abject submission, then why would he need to launch such a frantic effort to get out the base to salvage a Trump +11 district?

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@BowTiePolitics Trump advisers privately worry his support is getting *very* tenuous among voters who might be tempted to give him a pass due to the economy.

Our poll confirms those fears.

Trump's numbers among independents and college educated whites are just awful:

I'm going to frighten you now, with another angle on the Biden age issue.

Just imagine what Trump's disinformation and propaganda apparatus will do with this.

Doctored video. Deepfakes.

Remember "Sick Hillary"?

In this new piece, I imagine the worst:

Here's another big unknown:

How will the media handle the massive coming onslaught of disinformation?

We should be debating that right now:

Here's a taste of the propaganda and disinformation warfare that's coming:

Amazing.

Republicans are now accusing party officials of withholding internal data about Trump *from Republican candidates,* out of fear they'll distance from him.

That's from a new @propublica
report. I reported some more on this.

My new piece:

beta.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@propublica RNC is withholding data about Trump from down-ballot candidates, fearing they'll distance from him, @propublica reports.

I talked to former DCCC head Dan Sena what this means. He was brutal, describing it as "malpractice" that has to be "intentional."

beta.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@propublica Another awful example of Trump's war on information:

Trump is using data that Mexican officials gave him to sate his rage, to paint a misleading picture of the border.

The key, though, is that he's using it to supplant data from *his own government*:

NEW:

Dems may broaden their inquiry into articles of impeachment to include info on Trump's finances they get from Deutsche Bank, @RepRaskin tells me.

That could determine whether Trump laundered money or was subject to foreign influence.

New piece:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@RepRaskin Here's the core problem for Dems.

Dem leaders still appear dug in against any full House vote on articles of impeachment.

But as Judiciary Dems broaden their inquiry into Trump's blatant corruption, the case for that vote will grow more irresistible:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@RepRaskin Also important:

@RepRaskin tells me that Dems will hold hearings on Trump's self-dealing and emoluments violations.

Raskin wants a full House vote to condemn Trump's self-dealing, to try to force the issue to a head:

New KMIS #Poll : 51% of residents of #Ukraine support and 38% oppose giving autonomy for the separatist-controlled part of #donbas if this would be needed to end the war and resolve this #conflict peacefully. #Donbass kiis.com.ua/?lang=ukr&cat=…
New KMIS #Poll : 54% of residents of Ukraine oppose blocking of #Russian TV channels in #Ukraine, while 32% support such political #Censorship. Similarly, 60% oppose ban on many performers and films from #Russia, while 28% support such political ban. kiis.com.ua/?lang=ukr&cat=…
The KMIS poll shows that views of most Ukrainians on these issues are more liberal and democratic than views of most Ukrainian politicians and many intellectuals, who publicly claim to support democracy, freedom, and European values but in fact act in the opposite way.

Trump once said “Islam hates us”, today New Zealand’s terrorist praised him as a “symbol of renewed white identity”.
White nationalism has proven to be the “quite killer, but no one talks about the dangerous rhetoric white nationalists push through politicians and media pundits.
#Trump tweets about the terrorist attacks in New Zealand, however, failed to mention:
•Muslims were killed
•Didn’t call out the terrorist who praised him
•Muslims today didn’t just “sensesssly died” but they were “killed” in cold blood.
•“Best wishes” is not a condolence.
“#Hello Brother" were the last words by the first Muslim man to be shot and killed by the coward terrorist.
Let that sink in.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
