• Betrayal of American taxpayers: Trump promised a tax cut for most Americans. Instead, most tax refunds in 2018 were down by 8.7% &more than 80% of the tax cuts went to millionaires, billionaires and large corporations. (“corporate welfare” or socialism.)

Donald Trump’s betrayal of the Kurds is a blow to America’s credibility

Mr Trump imagines he can abandon an ally in a dangerous region without serious consequences for the United States. He is wrong.

The High Price of Trump’s Great Betrayal

It is more a question of when, not if, US forces will need to return to Syria to contend with a reconstituted ISIS (most likely without a local partner to bear the brunt of the fighting).

Trump corruption by Saudis is complete.
Trump is a grifter who can’t see and does not care how he is exploited in obscene, macabre ways.
His only observation about Saudis to America is—“They pay cash.”
Trump actually thinks we are impressed with that unknowing confession.
#TheyPayCash /2

Trump said he has 'no financial interests in Saudi Arabia.' But his businesses have made millions from the Saudi government, and the crown prince gave his New York City hotel a huge boost.

#TheyPayCash /3

Trump registered eight companies in Saudi Arabia during campaign: report

"They buy apartments from me," Trump said during the Alabama rally. "They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much."

#THREAD: Trump plans on signing an #ExecutiveOrder that redefines #Judaism as a nationality - thus transforming a religious status to a national one equivalent to #Israel- in order to crush student protest and knowledge production at the university level. A few thoughts...
1. This may make some claims against university activism actionable under the 1964 CRA by defining Judaism as a “national origin” but note that similar claims have already been actionable under Title VI and those have been dismissed not because Judaism defined as religion.
but because there has been a significant lack of evidence to demonstrate a hostile environment. The change is in the USG’s willingness to prioritize these claims under the leadership of Betsy DeVos and Kenneth Marcus- a move we already witnessed in the scrutiny of Duke and UNC.

Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese meditation practice, has been brutally persecuted by the Chinese communist regime for 20 years. At any given time, hundreds of thousands of adherents are held in prisons, labor camps, and brainwashing centers, where many have been tortured.

THREAD:

Trump on January 20, 2017, said, "Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come."

What followed that has been two years of Trump's lies to the American people and his failure to hear their voices raised in protest.
After a campaign full of lies and empty promises to the American people, Trump began an unrelenting attack on our constitution and our established laws. He claimed he would be "transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People."
Yet the voice of the America MAJORITY has called out repeatedly the actions Trump has taken since he entered the office. The day after he took office millions of American women and men poured into the streets in protest.

THREAD: In tomorrow’s #SOTU, Trump will try to make his case for his re-election. Spread the word and help us hold him accountable for his countless false promises from 2016: TrumpFalsePromises.org
Trump railed against “corruption.” But everything he’s ever touched is under investigation #TrumpFalsePromises TrumpFalsePromises.org
On the campaign trail, Trump supported raising taxes on the rich. That was a lie. #TrumpFalsePromises
