At first it didn't have the votes because of the "Freedom" Caucus. Then it didn't have the votes because of moderates.

Trump says he thought this would be easier than his old life. He misses his privacy and feels like he lives in a cocoon.

Quote:President Obama Warned Trump Not To Hire Gen. Flynn


Days after the general election, President Obama warned president-elect Trump not to hire Gen. Michael Flynn, NBC News reports.
Earlier this morning, MSNBC's Chris Jansing said, "We are confirming that former president Obama warned Donald Trump against hiring Michael Flynn and this happened just days after the election."


As usual, Trump refused to take any responsibility for not vetting any of his people properly, including Gen. Flynn.

General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration - but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that.
7:57 AM - 8 May 2017

President Obama fired Gen. Flynn in the summer of 2014 as his DIA director and it was up to the Trump campaign to re-vet his cantankerous supporter.

Kristen Welker reports that Trump says he didn't take Obama's warning seriously because Flynn had campaigned against Hillary Clinton.

The warning came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a conversation in the Oval Office.

Quote:Obama: Don't hire Flynn.
Trump: Stop joking.
Obama: I''m not joking
Trump: "I know you are but what am I"

Welker said, "So the administration not denying that conversation took place, Chris, which I think is the bottom line here, but they are trying to downplay it, they're saying from the perspective of president-elect Trump, he didn't think at the time that it was a substantive warning."

She continued, "Having said all of that, we did speak with a number of top officials from the Obama administration who say just the opposite, that it was, in fact, a substantive warning that took place during that first 90-minute conversation they had here in the Oval Office."

Quote:On Monday morning, President Trump's campaign website featured his December 2015 statement about "preventing Muslim immigration."


Later that afternoon, it did not.

The deletion of the statement appeared to come after Cecilia Vega of ABC News asked at Monday's White House press briefing about the statement: "If this White House is no longer calling this a Muslim ban as it did initially, why does the president's website still explicitly call for 'preventing Muslim immigration'?"

Trump spokesman Sean Spicer replied that he wasn't aware of what was on dthe campaign's website and referred questions about the statement to campaign staff.

"I know how we've talked about this from the first day of this administration: as a travel ban that's in this country's national security interests, as to make sure that people who are coming in here, are coming in here with the right motive and reason," he said. "We've been very consistent."[/url]


The statement first appeared on Trump's campaign website on Dec. 7, 2015, less than a week after a Muslim couple killed 14 people and injured 22 others in a mass shooting in San Bernardino. Then a candidate in the GOP primary season, Trump stood by his statement. And while it was controversial, it clearly didn't stop Trump's momentum.

Why did it come up now? The president's second attempt at a travel ban on six Muslim majority countries [url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/05/07/trumps-immigration-travel-ban-faces-familiar-foe-appeals-courts-trump/101334230/]began on Monday a new round of federal court hearings. The statement was brought up during proceedings in Richmond.

For the record, here's the full statement from Trump's site (courtesy of the Internet Archive):

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again."

Getting a judge in the SC that doesn't make decisions based on politics and actually uses the law is an A+ just on its own merits.

He is trying to bring jobs back. If you think about it ,it is sad that the Presidency is won because the candidate says he will do what is best for the country , put us first and try to rebuild our economy.

Shouldn't it just be a given that they will all do that and that its not some new great idea.

Sadly it is not what these other Presidents have been doing ,they have sold us out to globalism and it has crushed our country.

Our country is in bad shape economicaly and there is going to be a point when we will not be able to help our own people. (not to mention people from other countries)

There is a Tsunami coming and its not going to be pretty.
