1. On October 5, 1993, Donald Trump spoke before a group of lawmakers and blatantly lied about Native Americans and reservations. Rep. George Miller noted the racism in Trump's comments. trumpfile.org/trump-lies-to-…
Donald Trump: They don't look like Indians to me, sir.

Rep. Miller: Thank God that’s not the test of whether or not people have rights in this country or not, whether or not they pass your look test.

2. In the summer of '98, Rudy Giuliani found a new cause to promote: ending treatment for heroine addicts. Knowing what we do about his relationship with the mafia, this might have been an effort to increase profits for the illegal drug business. trumpfile.org/official-warns…

A friend and I watched two political films last night that came out less than a decade ago. Game Change (Julianne Moore, 2012) and Confirmation (Kerry Washington, 2016). In the last four years, the GOP has turned these films into relics from a different United States.
Confirmation is about the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to SCOTUS, complicated by sexual assault claims from Anita Hill. It's a moving film. But the most shocking moments don't feel like an untold story. They feel like a kid-friendly version of the Kavanaugh confirmation.
Game Change tells the story of McCain's 2008 campaign picking Sarah Palin for VP & everything that happened after. As the campaign got to know her, they FEARED that the base would find out how bad she is for the nation. All of those bad qualities are what the GOP aims for today.

1. In 1999, Donald Trump showed a New York Times reporter a rigged poll with only 100 respondents to "prove" that Americans wanted him to run for president. trumpfile.org/1999-poll/
2. In the same 1999 interview, Donald Trump said he couldn't believe Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. Not because of the affair, but because of Monica.

If Bill chose a supermodel, Trump said, "he would have been everybody's hero." trumpfile.org/trump-bill-cli…
3. On May 3, the Justice Department informed three Washington Post journalists that Trump's DOJ had secretly obtained their phone records from 2017, when government sources were providing details about the Trump campaign and Russia. trumpfile.org/justice-dept-t…

Fox News is so fair and balanced and "America First" that Sean #Hannity was getting briefings from Russian chaos agent Paul Manafort during the Trump campaign.
Steve Bannon was very concerned people might find out Manafort was still advising Trump's team. Manafort "resigned" from the campaign three months before this.
"The reality is you cannot count on [Trump] to win a debate."

Accurate.

1. Today in 2020, Donald Trump said that #COVID19 would kill no more than 100,000 Americans. By the end of the month, we'd lost almost 110,000. Today, that number is nearing 600,000. trumpfile.org/trump-pompeo-p…
Also one year ago today, Pompeo contradicted the U.S. intelligence community by claiming that most evidence suggested #coronavirus was manmade. trumpfile.org/trump-pompeo-p…
2. In December 1990, Fred Trump transferred $3.5 million to the failing Trump Castle through an illegal casino chip purchase. Six months later, New Jersey gave him permission to do it again. (Updated) trumpfile.org/fred-trump-ill…

2. In 1986, a whistleblower brought Robert Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch evidence of Israel's secret nuclear weapons. Murdoch published his story. Maxwell printed a smear piece against him and reported him to Israel. Days later, he was kidnapped & imprisoned. trumpfile.org/robert-maxwell…
