Danish politician goes viral with video offering Trump 'great deal' on windmills
.............
She goes on to point out that there is no scientific evidence that wind turbines cause cancer, neither do they cause blackouts (as Trump has repeatedly claimed).
Auken outlines in the video the potential for using wind power in the United States and its low cost for generating energy relative to coal.
“Here’s an example. The North Sea region—that’s the sea on top of Europe—can produce twice as much electricity as all the coal-fired power plants of Europe combined. And look, it’s smaller than Nebraska.
“Imagine the possibilities in all of your great United States of America,” the MP says.
“Listen to science. Listen to your wallet. And make a new deal,” she urges the president.
“So, Mr. President. We know you can do this. Just grab… your pen, sign a deal, and let’s save the climate,” she concludes.
Trump is so far yet to respond to Auken’s appeal.

Demagogues fall hard when they fall. It's just a matter of how much damage is done in the meantime.
Folks, the big point here is not that Trump is *crazy,* though of course he is that.
The more important thing here is that Trump is *failing and in a frantic panic about it.*

Fox melt down happening now
“We are just all learning of this at the same time, but the best I can tell, the American president can’t order U.S. companies how they’re going to do their sales and where they’re going to have their supply chains,” Wallace lectured. “We have a free-market capitalist system.”“I don’t think the president can order a car company to move some of its factories from one place to another,” he continued. “He could impose tariffs or make it economically untenable, but he can’t sit there and order the CEO of the board — and my guess is most people in this country wouldn’t want to see the president be able to do this.”
Noting Trump’s inflammatory comments about Powell, calling him a “enemy” and comparing him to China’s leader Xi Jinping, Wallace said the president’s comments about one of his own appointees were concerning.
“We have to drill down on the statement, who was a bigger enemy to this country? The head of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell who was appointed by President Trump, or Chinese president Xi?” Wallace asked.
He later asked, “When you have the president of the United States sort of flailing around this way and ordering companies to move back to the U.S. and saying that the head of the Federal Reserve is the enemy of the country, is that going to create more consumer confidence about the state of the economy or not?"

He is a liar. He is a racist. He is an idiot. He is unstable. He is a criminal. He is the President of the United States.

Rut roh Trump is gonna be P-I-S-S-E-D mad - FB has banned Epoch Times from advertising

Breaking from us: Facebook has banned The Epoch Times from advertising for “trying to get around its review systems” over the past year.
Facebook bans the Epoch Times ads after huge pro-Trump buy
By hiding its multimillion-dollar dark money ad spend, the organization is bypassing Facebook’s political advertising transparency rules.
Following a request from NBC News, Facebook conducted a review of the Epoch Times’ new accounts, and as a result, banned them from future advertising on the platform.
“Over the past year we removed accounts associated with the Epoch Times for violating our ad policies, including trying to get around our review systems,” a Facebook spokesperson said. “We acted on additional accounts today and they are no longer able to advertise with us.”
The spokesperson explained that ads must include disclaimers that accurately represent the name of the ad’s sponsors.
Brendan Steinhauser, a Republican strategist who advised the Epoch Times on how to break into the broader conservative movement, told NBC News he arranged its introduction to the conservative conference CPAC and arranged dozens of interviews with right-wing newsmakers.
Though he doesn’t manage their social media strategy — Steinhauser said the Epoch Times handles that internally — he said creating multiple pages and accounts without clearly labeling their connection to the wider organization was a common practice used by public relations or political campaigns to bring in subscribers and donors.

El Paso hospital forced to call out Trump's lie that surgeons left the operating room to see him
El Paso hospital forced to call out Trump’s lie that surgeons left the operating room to see him
.......
Not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the room. The doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all over the floor. You couldn’t even walk on it. So, you know, there’s a lot to happen,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn Wednesday.
At no time did, or would, physicians or staff leave active operating rooms during the presidential visit. Our priority is always patient care,” UMC spokesman Ryan Mielke told ABC-7.
The only survivor of the mass shooting who met with the president was the baby whose parents shielded her body, dying in the process. No one else wanted to meet with Trump.
