Trump flat-out lied at **9/11 ceremony** today. NYT calls it an "exaggerated account."

this is what being afraid of yr own shadow looks like; nytimes.com/2019/09/11/us/…
exaggerate: "represent (something) as being larger, better, or worse than it really is."

Trump lying abt going to help at Ground Zero isn't an "exaggeration" bc he never f***king did it.

that's like me saying I'm an astronaut = an "exaggeration"
if Hillary every lied abt 9/11, the NYT would've printed up the articles of impeachment
btw, whole tone of this article (gee, Trump being Trump) is disgraceful coming from major news org.

bc it worked so well for them months later in 2018 midterms when they lost 40 seats???
note: GOP doesn’t always have to be depicted as super savvy
GOP got demolished by suburban moms in 2018, but sure let’s pretend Kavanaugh lying abt sexual accusers *helps GOP* w/ suburban moms

this is Mueller hearing coverage all over....DC press hits Dems bc the optics/theater wasn’t right
GOP hearings are *never* covered this way. they held 3 yrs of failed Benghazi hearings and they were constantly covered as Bad News For Obama And Clinton

not surprised bc it’s as I predicted yesterday...much of coverage of Lewendosky hearing stresses it was setback for Dems bc he refused to answer Q’s, was contemptuous etc. in others words, **press rewards GOP for bad behavior, yet again**
if Hillary Clinton had stonewalled and waged war during her 2015 Benghazi hearing, do you think coverage would’ve awarded the win to Dems?.....Bueller?
GOP *always* portrayed as super savvy

Trump announces he has canceled a secret meeting at Camp David with Taliban leaders set for Sunday – three days before the 18th anniversary of September 11 –after a car bombing in Kabul nytimes.com/2019/09/07/us/…
Thread from a pre-eminent expert on Afghanistan & former senior advisor to the State Department's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. (h/t @metaquest)
.@BRRubin nailed it.

"At Camp David, separate meetings with each side would then lead to a grand announcement by Trump.

The Taliban leaders, however, compared the proposal to the Americans’ tricking them into political suicide."

📌If it is proven that Trump knowingly exaggerated his net worth, then journalists need to start using the word ‘lied.’

📌When anyone lies to a bank in order to receive credit or approval to underwrite a securities issue, this is called fraud. forbes.com/sites/mayrarod…
📌Bloomberg presented numerous incidents going back twenty years of Trump “inflating his wealth” when trying to obtain approval for loans or securities underwriting.
bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
📌📌These incidents seriously call into question the quality of Deutsche Bank’s risk management enterprise-wide.

#Trump campaign #BradPascale in #Romania makes me ponder a few questions:
🤔
-Using trip to influence US Romania emigrant voters?
-Purpose is to offer #socialmedia manipulation advice for #EU May vote?
-Perfect opportunity to meet with other election manipulators in the region?

Could Romanian media influence Romanian American voters?
As Romanian immigrants in America steadily increase, the population of Romanian voters might be heavily influenced by the strong ties to political and religious opinions held by leaders in Romania.

Deutsche Bank ♥️ Trump

📌A Profitable Decades-long Love Affair

📌Why on earth would Deutsche Bank (DB) continue to lend money to a notorious loan defaulter like Trump?

📌This is a key part re TrumpRussia
‼️Theory:‼️

Is it logical to conclude that Russia funnels (launders) money into Deutsche Bank, which then ‘washes’ money via back door deals & then loans the money to Trump.

Ergo is DB the middleman between RU & Trump earning sizable fees on every transaction? Win, win, no?
Russia:

Investigators are seeking evidence in a massive money laundering scheme involving Deutsche Bank about the practice of hiding money offshore to elude tax collectors and government regulators.
