Trump calls the kettle black about Matt Lauer being fired for sexual misconduct

Donald Trump has been accused by several women of sexual harassment and attacks. He himself was taped saying the now infamous "grab them by the pussy" quote. And yet, he posted the following about the fact that NBC morning host Matt Lauer was fired because of an accusation of sexual misconduct:

Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News. Check out Andy Lack’s past!

DAY 299: Trump tweets against Al Franken, but he has been accused of the same behavior

After a woman accused Al Franken of sexual misconduct, Donald Trump tweeted this:

The Al Frankenstien picture is really bad, speaks a thousand words. Where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 while she sleeps? .....

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 17 de noviembre de 2017

Al Franken's behavior is not excusable, but Trump has no moral authority to throw stones. Remember the "grab them by the pussy" video?

Jared Kushner used private email for White House business

According to Politico, Donald Trump's son in-law and close adviser at the White House used private email to conduct official White House business. From the Politico article:

Presidential son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner has corresponded with other administration officials about White House matters through a private email account set up during the transition last December, part of a larger pattern of Trump administration aides using personal email accounts for government business.

Kushner uses his private account alongside his official White House email account, sometimes trading emails with senior White House officials, outside advisers and others about media coverage, event planning and other subjects, according to four people familiar with the correspondence. POLITICO has seen and verified about two dozen emails.

GOP is concerned about Trump, AP says, but GOP sure isn't acting like it

Associated Press publishes today that many influential Republicans are voicing concerns about Donald Trump's remarks defending nazis after the Charlottesville violence.

Here's a quote from the AP article:

Behind the high-profile denunciations voiced this week by GOP senators once considered Trump allies, scores of other, influential Republicans began to express grave concerns about the state of the Trump presidency. In two dozen interviews with Associated Press reporters across nine states, Republican politicians, party officials, advisers and donors expressed worries about whether Trump has the self-discipline and capability to govern successfully.

Problem is, if the Republicans are really that concerned, they sure aren't acting like it.

Trump loses temper and attacks Mika Brzezinski, triggering national outrage... against Trump

This morning Donald Trump tweeted this:

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017

...to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 29, 2017

The tweets triggered a national outrage from both, left and right, as the attacks against the hose of MSNBC's Morning Joe's were clearly misogynistic, petty, and well beneath the office the of president of the United States.

For example, senator Lindsay Graham, a Republican who opposed Trump during the 2016 primaries, said:

Reports surface of worker abuse at factory where Ivanka Trump made her clothes line

According to AP, new reports have surfaced showing brutal worker abuse at the Chinese factory where Ivanka Trump manufactured her clothes line. From the AP article:

A worker with blood dripping from his head marked a low point in the tense, grinding life at a southeastern China factory used by Ivanka Trump and other fashion brands. An angry manager had hit him with the sharp end of a high-heeled shoe.

Workers from the factory, including one current and two former employees who spoke to The Associated Press, reported overtime that stretched past midnight, steep production quotas and crude verbal abuse at Ganzhou Huajian International Shoe City Co. They said beatings were not unheard of, but the shoe attack, which all three say they witnessed last year, was violent enough to stand out.

Trump tweets hypocritical attacks against CNN for Russia story

Donald Trump posted three tweets attacking CNN after the new network fired three people for being responsible for false information on on a story CNN retracted a story related to Russia and the Trump campaign.

Except Trump didn't tell the truth in his tweets. This is what he tweeted:

Wow, CNN had to retract big story on "Russia," with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phony stories they do? FAKE NEWS!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2017

Followed by this:

SWAMP: Trump gave ethics waivers to 16 staff members including Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway

Donald Trump gave ethics waivers to 16 staff members of his immediate circle so they could work on policy related to industries they worked for or lobbied for. Some of the people who got waivers include Chief of Staff Rience Priebus, Stave Bannon and Kellyanne Conway.

In the case of Priebus and Conway the waivers were given because both of them worked for the Republican party and they are still in contact with it. In the case of Bannon, the waiver was because he used to run Breitbart. That way he could continue being in contact with Breitbart.

But there were cases in which the waivers were spefically for lobbying.

DAY 121: Hypocrisy: Melania and Ivanka Trump didn't wear head scarves in Saudi Arabia

Several press reports have shown images of Melania and Ivanka Trump not wearing head scarves during an official visit to Saudi Arabia, even though Saudi Arabia has strict laws requiring women to wear them. From an AP report, for example:

Melania Trump’s decision not to wear a headscarf upon arrival in the Middle East is drawing attention on social media.

The first lady wore a black pantsuit with a golden belt but did not cover her head, consistent with custom for female foreign dignitaries visiting Saudi Arabia.

Why is that a problem? Actually, it isn't a problem. No American first lady has worn a head scarf in official visits to Saudi Arabia since the late 1980s, when George H.W. Bush was president.

The problem here is the fact that Donald Trump criticized Michelle Obama in 2015 for not wearing a head scarf during an official visit to Saudi Arabia. And here's the tweet:

DAY 92: Trump calles firs 100 days benchmark "ridiculous" but he used it in his 2016 campaign

So not that it's clear Donald Trump has not accomplished anything that truly changes the United States for the better in his first 100 days in office, he's calling the 100 day benchmark "ridiculous":

No matter how much I accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, & it has been a lot (including S.C.), media will kill!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2017

Well, in 2016 Trump didn't think it was a "rudiculous standard". In fact, he used it as a campaign ad called "Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter." In that "contract" he promised he would accomplish a lot of things that he clearly hasn't accomplished or even tried to do. And in some cases he has done the opposite of what he offered.

Donald Trump donesn't want you to know who is visiting the White House

Barack Obama made all visits to the White House public. That policy allowed the public to see if any lobbyists went to the see the President.

Well, today the Trump administration announced they would keep all visitor logs to the White House --and who they are meeting with-- secret, and they would remain secret for 5 years after Trump leaves office.

Trump's CIA director Mike Pompeo slams WikiLeaks after him and Trump praised it in 2016

Donald Trump's CIA director, Mike Pompeo, delivered a speech today slamming WikiLeaks and accusing it of being abetted by Russia.

"It's time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors, like Russia," pompeo said according to CNN.

Ten days prior, WikiLeaks had already shown a tweet by Pompeo posted in July of 2016 actually using information leaked by WikiLeaks against Hillary Clinton:

Donald Trump's hypocrisy on Syria debunked: First he said "why do we care?" about it

According to The New York Times, Donald Trump said today that the chemical attack by Syria's Bashar al-Assad that killed 72 people including 11 children changed his mind about Syria. I quote:

Mr. Trump said the images of death inside Syria in the aftermath of the chemical attacks “crosses many lines, beyond a red line, many many lines.” And he said that the death of “innocent children, innocent babies, little babies” has made him reassess the situation and Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad.

“It’s very, very possible, and I will tell you it has already happened, that my attitude toward Syria and Assad, has changed very much,” Mr. Trump said as he stood next to King Abdullah of Jordan in the Rose Garden for a news conference with reporters.

Well, that's a pretty hypocritical thing to say. You see, not only Trump knew Assad had used chemical weapons in the past, but he refused to do anything about it saying “Let Syria and ISIS fight. Why do we care?”

DAY 36: Trump gets mad because FBI refused to dismiss Russia stories

Donald Trump attacked the FBI on Twitter after the press published a report pointing out to the fact that Trump's Chief of Staff, Rience Priebus, asked the FBI to dispute the reports on Trump's ties to Russia, but the FBI refused. This is what he twitted:

The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security "leakers" that have permeated our government for a long time. They can't even......

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2017

find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2017

Which means Trump is being a hypocrite, since he didn't mind when the FBI meddled in the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton.

Trump is now doing the things he used to criticize Obama for doing, like golf and rallies

Multiple times Donald Trump criticized Barack Obama on Twitter for playing golf and for doing rallies. But now Trump has spent two weekends golfing since he took office and he just did one rally.

Let's start with the golf thing:

Trump has golfed two weekends in a row (out of 4 as president).

Here are 11 times Trump criticized Obama for playing golf as President. pic.twitter.com/MTeinCAi1S

DAY 28: Trump continues tantrum against security leaks, but he said "I love WikiLeaks" in his campaign

Donald Trump continued to throw a tantrum against the fact that his campaign's had ties with Russia was leaked by intelligence sources:

Leaking, and even illegal classified leaking, has been a big problem in Washington for years. Failing @nytimes (and others) must apologize!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017

He even threatened the sources of the leaks:

The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! They will be caught!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2017

There's only one problem: Trump used to praise the leaker or leakers: WikiLeaks. He did so several times during the presidential campaign when Democratic emails were leaked. He even said "I love leaks!" during a rally in Pennsylvania. And there's even video of Trump saying "I love WikiLeaks" during the campaign:

DAY 27: Clearly desperate, Trump misleads about Obama and Russia and contradicts himself

After The New York Times published last night that US intelligence caught Trump's presidential campaign talking to Russian intelligence, Trump went on to Twitter to throw a tantrum. He said:

The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 15, 2017

Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 15, 2017

So which one is it? Fake news or true information given to the media "illegally"?

But there's more. Then Trump said:

DAY 25: Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbus Ross has manufacturing interests in Mexico

Today Mexican newspaper El Universal published an article pointing out to the fact that Donald Trump's Commerce Secretaru, Wilbur Ross, has interests in the autopart manufacturing business in Mexico.

Data from the US Labor Department shows that Ross is the founder and stockholder of Automotive Component Group (IAC Group), which bought in 2006 Lear Corporation, one of the main autopart manufacturers operating in the border state of Chihuahua, Mexico.

HYPOCRISY: Trump tweets about Muslim detained in Paris, but not about attack on Canadian mosque

So this morning Donald Trump tweeted this:

A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 3 de febrero de 2017

The tweet refers to the fact that a Frenc soldier shot a Muslim man who entered a store at the Louvre museum in Paris and attacked another soldier with a machete. The man had two backpacks with him but the backpacks did not have explosives.

The problem with this is the fact that five days before, on January 29, 2017, a far-right, White Christian extremist who is also a Trump supporter, shot and killed 6 people at a Mosque in Quebec, the French-speaking region of Canada. But Trump didn't tweet anything about it.

DAY 14: HYPOCRISY: Trump complains about UC Berkeley protests but his people want to shut free press

Donald Trump tweeted this today:

If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 2 de febrero de 2017

The tweet refers to the protests agains Milo Yiannopoulous, a racist, far-right troll (and Breitbart contributor) who got kicked from Twitter for targetting Black actress Leslie Jones with hate speech. He was invited to give a speech at UC Berkeley and the students started peaceful protests against him. However, later during the protests some unidentified poepled acted violently and the university responded by treating the protests as a riot (you know: using tear gas, rubber bullets, that sort of thing). But Yiannopoulous speech was cancelled.

But Trump can't complain about it, since him and his closests advisers have tried to shut up the free press. Here are three examples:
