With Trump's tariffs imminent, I did a deep dive for @BW on the congressional districts that will suffer most. One GOP strategist told me: "It’s like he’s micro-targeting policy to screw his own supporters.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I found a remarkable stat on how badly Trump supporters get hurt in a trade war if China retaliates with soy tariffs as threatened. Of the 30 House districts most reliant on soybeans, GOP reps 25 + Dems 5 -- but all 30 districts voted for Trump in '16 (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…)
One irony is that hardcore pro-Trump House Republicans, like @SteveKingIA, will suffer the most from Trump's actions -- and they know it. King told me "nobody" in his district thinks this'll turn out well for them
If anyone wants to follow up, districts that'll suffer most from soy tariffs, in descending order:
IA-04 - @SteveKingIA
KS-01 - @RogerMarshallMD
NE-03 - @RepAdrianSmith
MN-07 - @collinpeterson
SD-00 - @RepKristiNoem
IL-18 - @RepLaHood
ND-00 - @RepKevinCramer
IA-01 - @RepRodBlum
Using the @TheTerminal's boundless data (and MAPS team), we combined commodities info like grain elevators with House district zip codes. Happy to share w/local reporters in general area of this map:

NEWS: I got hold of internal RNC poll @jmartNYT + @jonathanvswan wrote about and it's stunning: Trump's boast of a "red wave" has convinced many GOP voters House isn't at risk -- so they may not show up in Nov: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@jmartNYT @jonathanvswan Also, the RNC poll finds Dems "hold a significant edge on both the generic Congressional ballot and 'campaign interest'" -- they lead the generic ballot by 9 points.
@jmartNYT @jonathanvswan one correction -- @jmartNYT/@alexburnsNYT 's piece referred to America First Policies, not RNC

UPDATE: China just stopped buying U.S. soybeans (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…). That's going to hurt the 30 pro-Trump districts in the map below -->
Per Bloomberg data, here are the 25 House members whose districts will suffer most
Another view of the damage, via @TheTerminal

Useful history here for those who don't know it: Trump got mercilessly owned by both @sethmeyers + @BarackObama at 2011 WHCD as he sat in the audience. It was his "Rosebud" moment. I'll tweet the surreal scene as described in DEVIL'S BARGAIN (amazon.com/Devils-Bargain…) -->
First off, Trump almost skipped the WHCD because he was invited to Steve Wynn's third wedding in Vegas the night before and Clint Eastwood and Frank Stallone were gonna be there. And '80s celebs are gods to Trump...
It was a setup -- only Trump was apparently the only one not in on the joke. The "joke" was that in the slightly gross social taxonomy of the WHCD, Trump, then at the apex of his outre birther-racist phase, was a great "get" (for the not-yet-Bezos-owned Washington Post)

@Jim_Jordan Any #Trump sycophant, alleged pedophile protector, trying to besmirch this hero, while his own children will have to suffer from the decisions made for the country, is sad. Why wouldn't the #GOP make it an open door session if they had nothing to hide? Your reign ends soon.
@Jim_Jordan As time passes, more comes to light, with the Steele dossier, Trumps alleged involvement in Epstein child sex ring where Secretary Acosta stopped the FBI investigation before more suspects could be arrested, and money laundering campaign contributions from Russian operatives.
@Jim_Jordan Plus your support for a theocratic monarchy that really acts like a ruthless inhumane dictator & desire to sell American technology to them when it could then be used to kill our own troops or handed over to Russia is genuinely INSANE. Who is dishonorable, spineless sycophantic?

#Trump said his Russian business efforts, including during the campaign were "Very legal" and "VERY COOL."

HAHAHAH....yep, I sure do agree with that. Very cool, indeed.

Of course, most of the media have no clue, though some of them do, b/c some have reported the truth.
Well, sommanab*tch! The link I saved from one of the media outlets that knew ...now seems to be gone. Of course I couldn't archive it because it was WaPo. They wouldn't let me archive it.
Well, here's another one, by Buzzfeed, no less. They KNEW that Trump worked WITH the FBI, yet they participated in the conspiracy against him to frame him as the guilty one.

THREAD: I’ve put together a mini Midterms version of the Trump Fundraging analysis, focused mainly on the last few days before Election Day (Oct 29-Nov 6). Please RT!

#Trump #TrumpEmails #Midterms #2018Midterms #2018MidtermElections
From October 29th through November 6th, I got 27 total emails. That’s exactly 3/per day, WAY above the 0.896/day average throughout all of 2018.

I chose Oct 29th for this thread because that’s when they really started picking up.
“Donald J. Trump” dominated the From field most of Oct. In the week before the midterms, they switched to a big mix of surrogates: Donald Trump Jr. (1st email of 2018), Eric Trump (8th), Melania Trump (5th), Lara Trump (23rd), Newt Gingrich (12th), & Brad Parscale (12th).

1. In 1987 it is believed that #Trump was recruited by #SovietUnion, specifically recruited by Kryuchkov head of First Chief Directorate, a division within the #KGB who's primary responsibility was to gather foreign intelligence

#Trump #Russia #SovietUnion #Treason
2.Both Kryuchkov and #Gorbachev faced #Reagan as #President, and he was in the #SovietUnion´s eyes regarded as a very strong leader, the opposite of #Carter of #Ford, when dealing with them.

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
