Trump cannot and will not change. He's literally doing the same thing he's done for over 30 years and from his point of view it's worked over and over again. Why change?

A Series Of Suspicious Money Transfers Followed The Trump Tower Meeting

Now, four federal law enforcement officials told BuzzFeed News, investigators are focused on two bursts of transactions that bank examiners deemed suspicious: one a short time after the meeting and another immediately after the November 2016 presidential election.

The first set came just 11 days after the June 9 meeting, when an offshore company controlled by Agalarov wired more than $19.5 million to his account at a bank in New York.

The second flurry began shortly after Trump was elected. The Agalarov family started sending what would amount to $1.2 million from their bank in Russia to an account in New Jersey controlled by the billionaire’s son, pop singer Emin Agalarov, and two of his friends. The account had been virtually dormant since the summer of 2015, according to records reviewed by BuzzFeed News, and bankers found it strange that activity in Emin Agalarov’s checking account surged after Trump’s victory.

After the election, that New Jersey account sent money to a company controlled by Irakly “Ike” Kaveladze, a longtime business associate of the Agalarovs and their representative at the Trump Tower meeting. Kaveladze’s company, meanwhile, had long funded a music business set up by the person who first proposed the meeting to the Trump camp, Emin Agalarov’s brash British publicist, Rob Goldstone.

...

By most accounts, the 40-minute meeting, during which Manafort checked his phone and Kushner emailed his assistant, didn’t result in usable information on Trump’s rival. In fact, the Kremlin-connected attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, pivoted off Clinton and spoke at length about overturning US laws meant to stop Russian financial misconduct.

“Look,” Trump Jr. reportedly told the group, “we’re not in power. When we win, come back and see us again.”

Eleven days later — on June 20, the day Trump fired campaign chief Corey Lewandowski and put Manafort in charge — Aras Agalarov used a company called Silver Valley Consulting to move millions that bankers flagged as suspicious.

You guys seem to forget Eric Trump has a knack for showing up with huge contributions at unexpected times. Who can forget the home run he hit with Trump Turnberry?

Trump has at least a 50 year history of acting like an unhinged idiot.

So this. If you are arguing trump has a plan or strategy at this point you are an idiot. Period.

LOL

GOAT Eric Trump tweets imo:

:25 Brags about getting "tremendous accolades" about his government's readiness. The guy has some obvious mental health issues. He seems to relish the idea of using human suffering to stroke his ego.

Maddow reporting that it's not just FEMA that gave $10M to ICE, but also $29M from the Coast Guard.

every time

Donald Trump looks like a nightmarish monstrosity — ‘even from space’

*stares out at the coast and the looming nightmarish monstrosity*

FEMA and Coast Guard you say?

And in response, Cohn...said nothing and eventually quit. Then continued saying nothing. GJGE, Gary.

The brother of a guy who worked with me for a long time tried installing solar panels on a roof for one day and decided working inside for about 60% as much money was a better deal.

Cohn's response to Woodward's book: a non-denial denial

"I continue to support the President's economic agenda" says Gary Cohn, who is just as complicit in this **** as everyone else but probably thinks he's a good person for wagging his finger at Trump once or twice

Eric Trump not only loves reading white supremacist websites, but he's so ****ing stupid he thinks these guys referring to money as "shekels" is just cool kid internet lingo.

How many more whistles will people ignore

If history tells us anything, all the ones that aren't directed at them or their loved ones.

Silly me. I thought shekels was once an actual currency rather than an anti-semitic slur.

Still an actual currency

Shocking a man who has never done five minutes of physical labor in his life would hold such asinine views.

Maybe we need to require everyone to hold a public works job that involves hardcore physical labor for two years like many countries require military service.

I suspect way too many of the “elite” class never had to do extreme physical labor for an extended period of time. It completely warps your perspective and leaves you devoid of empathy and understanding.

I feel like I grew up in a fairly privileged environment but I worked a string of physically intensive jobs when I was younger, some to an extreme degree and I think it has made me an infinitely better person to work with and work for.

It is insane someone elected president of the United States can’t comorehend why a 100 out of 100 people would take an office job over being a coal miner for the same pay and benefits. His entire life has been choosing the path of least resistance and work.

No. It's worse.

Trump likes the idea of people working beneath his feet and loving it. Just watch any episode of the apprentice and that should be obvious.
