CAMPAIGN FINANCE/DEMS/OBAMA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Many people currently a part of my opposition, including President Obama & the Dems, have had campaign violations, in some cases for very large sums of money. These are civil cases. They paid a fine & settled. While no big deal, I did not commit a campaign violation!” -Donald Trump, Twitter.com, […]

BORDER/DEMS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The Democrats could solve the Shutdown problem in a very short period of time. All they have to do is approve REAL Border Security (including a Wall), something which everyone, other than drug dealers, human traffickers and criminals, want very badly! This would be so easy to do!” -Donald Trump, Twitter.com, January […]

DEMS/ECONOMY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “As I have stated many times, if the Democrats take over the House or Senate, there will be disruption to the Financial Markets. We won the Senate, they won the House. Things will settle down. They only want to impeach me because they know they can’t win in 2020, too much success!” […]

BORDER/DEMS/ELECTION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “The Shutdown is only because of the 2020 Presidential Election. The Democrats know they can’t win based on all of the achievements of ‘Trump,’ so they are going all out on the desperately needed Wall and Border Security – and Presidential Harassment. For them, strictly politics!” -Donald Trump, Twitter.com, January 3, 2019 […]

DEMS/ELECTION/GOP/PENNSYLVANIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Democratic energy in the perennial battleground state of Pennsylvania is raising questions about President Donald Trump’s ability to replicate his stunning 2016 win in a state Republicans hadn’t carried for nearly two decades. Now, Republicans are picking up the pieces and, in some quarters, calculating that those performances mean nothing good for […]

DEMS/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “For FAR TOO LONG Senate Democrats have been Obstructing more than 350 Nominations. These great Americans left their jobs to serve our Country, but can’t because Dems are blocking them, some for two years-historic record. Passed committees, but Schumer putting them on hold. Bad!” –Donald Trump, Twitter.com, January 1, 2019 7:43 pm […]

DEMS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “The Democrats, much as I suspected, have allocated no money for a new Wall. So imaginative! The problem is, without a Wall there can be no real Border Security – and our Country must finally have a Strong and Secure Southern Border!” -Donald Trump, Twitter.com, January 1, 2019 9:32 am […]

BORDER/DEMS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “The Democrats will probably submit a Bill, being cute as always, which gives everything away but gives NOTHING to Border Security, namely the Wall. You see, without the Wall there can be no Border Security – the Tech ‘stuff’ is just, by comparison, meaningless bells & whistles…” –Donald Trump, Twitter.com, December 31, […]

DEMS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/WALL: “It’s incredible how Democrats can all use their ridiculous sound bite and say that a Wall doesn’t work. It does, and properly built, almost 100%! They say it’s old technology – but so is the wheel. They now say it is immoral- but it is far more immoral for people to be […]
