Trump at GOP retreat: 'Whether you like me or not' you 'have to elect me'


President Trump on Thursday told GOP lawmakers at a retreat in Baltimore that “it doesn’t matter” if people like him or not, they have “no choice” but to elect him.

“Whether you like me or not, it doesn’t matter,” Trump said at the conference Thursday night, according to The New York Times. “You have to elect me. You have no choice.”

“Our country will go to hell if any of these people get in,” he continued in reference to Democratic presidential candidates, further warning that if one of them gets elected they would “take your money and very much hurt your families.”

The comments were part of a 68-minute address he gave to the House GOP retreat in Baltimore, which took place during the third Democratic presidential primary debate on Thursday night.

During his speech, he also poked fun at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) name, which he reportedly shortened to “Cortez” because he didn’t have time to “go through the whole damn name.” He made a similar jab at the congresswoman at a rally earlier this year.

He also singled out some Democratic presidential contenders for criticism, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I hit Pocahontas too early — I thought she was gone, she has emerged on the ashes and now it looks like she could beat sleepy Joe,” he said.

The president also took a moment to criticize wind turbines, which he once said emit noise that cause cancer.

Trump said “they make noise, they kill all the birds, the energy is intermittent,” according to The Times.

While talking about the structures, the president also reportedly pondered about what would happen to a family watching the Democratic debate on Thursday night on a television that was powered by wind energy.

“You happen to be watching the Democratic debate and the wind isn’t blowing,” Trump said, according to the Times. “You’re not going to see the debate. ‘Charlie, what the hell happened to this debate?’ He says, ‘Darling, the wind isn’t blowing. The goddamned windmill stopped.'”

He really is this stupid. Has no idea how wind power works, yet condemns it anyway he can.

I wonder if there was media there or if this is all leaks?

He’s shook cause he knows warren can drop the house on him. Him and the GOP want Biden because it’s too easy to not only drill him, but guarantee another low voter turnout in the generals.

And low voter turnout always helps the GOP.

We have seen what you got from the debates.

Not one of those people can beat Trump.

Proof? Sure...

When Trump went to NC to push for Bishop, expected turnout for the vote went up 25 percent.

Real people love them some Trump!

lolol it was a republican district!!

thats not proof bro sorry

So you are only 'real people' if you like Trump?

You didn't know?

I knew you thought that, just confirming why I dislike you lil buddy.

For a second last night I thought you might be an actual human being.

Perfect example of why I came up with "40anne" right here.

Once again adding to the substance of the topic.

Just giving Clem all the reply he earned.

We have all earned better than a lot of the drivel you post.

"Because one thing I've learned about politics, you can say something one day that's just absolutely insane like they're saying and then about two weeks later say the exact opposite and nobody will ever even call you on it."

- Trump yesterday in Baltimore.

Is this real life?

What's wrong with that? He absolutely has learned that.

Then again, he usually gets called on it.

You should watch he press conference he did yesterday, see why he said it.

Or was it a rally? I’m not sure what to call it anymore.

I damn sure wasn't a daily press briefing like traditional normal administrations used to hold. Did he ever replace what's her face with the lazy eye?

Has she ever held a presser?

No.

As I was grabbing this link and info, I read a headline that stated there has not been an official WH press conference in 6 months.


*EDIT*

Yup. Here's the headline I saw:

"Trump White House asn't held a traditional press briefing in 6 months"

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-wh...ory?id=65509975

Watch her end up being the only press secretary to never hold a presser. smh

It's trending that way.

Increasingly isolating himself.
Appointing only "acting" cabinet members, who can be fired at whim.
Attrition rate at levels never before seen.
Fired/resigned former aides lining up to pen 'tell-all books.'


I tried to tell folks what they would get back in 2015.
I'm done with all that. Now, I'll simply drop Current Events, and let Real Life troll them for me.

Elect a clown, expect a circus.

#professionalism:overrated

1 the majority of Americans did not want Rump to represent us
2 climate change is destroying planet earth. The only educated humans on planet earth that disagree, are republicans
3 ”destruction of America” a gun in every hand. Weapons lead to destruction, we have centuries of data to back that up.

You do a poor job of representing Cleveland, more importantly, a disservice.

This dude is a certified weirdo.

Happy Birthday

Trump, lawmakers consider app that would conduct background checks: report

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-...t-would-conduct

thanks.

The last 365 were a trip.
I expect more of the same.

As long as it is not a threat to our second amendment rights like those stupid red flag laws, I will listen.

Missed it bro! Happy Belated Birthday!

Potential for good, potential for abuse. And it will still do nothing to weed out the mentally ill.

Trump Lawyers Argue He Cannot Be Criminally Investigated

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/19/nyregion/trump-tax-returns-lawsuit.html

Now he is officially above the law. Republicans should speak up before it's too late.

If no crime was committed, why would he be criminally investigated?

I love how the left is grabbing at straws like jackwads playing hungry hungry hippo, yet coming up with nothing. For 3 years you've been preaching to a choir that never showed up.

IF anything of importance shows up, let me know.

As of now, you are about 0-60. Keep trying.

I don't need to let you know because you will be lurking.

Darn right. Like I said, you and the left are 0 for 60, maybe 70 right now. Keep on. That's a great percentage.

I don't mind your criticism and wear it as a badge of honor after considering the source. Have a good night!

I turn that around, and thank you for the entertainment. I fully expect to find another 10-20 articles posted by you in the morning. And i'll laugh at each one.

Hey, keep on keeping on, hater. Maybe 1 of these days you'll stumble across something with meaning. But, for 3 years now, you haven't.

Thanks for your encouragement. It means nothing to me but it's nice to hear you say it.

Now he is officially above the law? It's actually a pretty interesting article with quite a bit of nuance to the proceedings and the points both sides are making have some validity...

But it took until the very last paragraph before they got to the part about which law he is evidently "above"... the case in question is his payment to Stormy Daniels, what is at issue is that the Manhattan prosecutor wants to determine if he accounted for the payment correctly or if he accounted for it as "legal fees"... so let's be serious for a moment... how serious of a crime is determining the proper accounting means of a $130K settlement payment? This isn't about election rigging or Russian collusion or rape or any of that.. it's about a relatively small accounting procedure/discrepancy.

So I will say this, nobody should be above the law... but if we are going to monopolize the time of high ranking politicians by allowing them to be dragged into court to defend themselves against every nickle and dime allegation that state and local prosecutors can come up with, the political system will come to a grinding halt. (Though I do understand that is the point of the left, to tie up Trump in other matters such as minor lawsuits so he can't serve as President) My advice to the left would be to let this one go or I guarantee you, it will come back to haunt you... At some point, a D will be President and the R parts of the country will come after them to defend every late medical bill payment and parking ticket they have ever received in their life.. and the Ds will hate it and cry about how unfair that is...

So if the matter under investigation is directly related to how a President won the election, or it impacts their ability to be President, or if it is a violent crime, or something more serious.. then no President should be above having that investigated and prosecuted if necessary.... even if that means impeach first, then proceed with the criminal matter... but this is a minor civil thing.. I would have to say this could wait until he is out of office. (Since that's what it actually says, not that it goes away forever, it just has to wait until he is out of office, then this could move forward.)

DC,
This minor accounting mistake as you describe it is actually campaign finance fraud. Fraud is something Trump knows well. He's a crook.

I certainly see your point. But his lawyers made sure this includes, "any crime" a president may commit. If it were restricted to a single incident that would be one thing. But to claim a president can't be investigated for "any crime" is most certainly concerning.

It brings the statement, "I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue" to a whole new level.
