Dow hits 30,000 as Trump signals exit from White House
The Dow Jones Industrial Average on Tuesday surpassed 30,000 points for the first time in the history of the blue-chip index. Stocks pushed higher as Pennsylvania certified President-elect Joe Biden’s win in that state and investors cheered the White House’s moves to pave the way for President Trump’s exit from the Oval Office.
Bizarrely (as usual):
Trump Touts Dow Jones Hitting 30,000 After Biden Recognized As Apparent Winner
President Donald Trump claimed credit for the Dow Jones Industrial average hitting 30,000 during a brief news conference on Tuesday, citing progress on a Covid-19 vaccine, though the stock market spike also came just one day after his administration authorized the Biden transition.
There are none so blind as those who will not see …
Trump is wrapped around the axle of his delusional bid to claw back a presidency that is receding from his grasp with each passing day. He lurches between grievance and pipe dreams, with no thought for the destruction in his path.
Trump only called off plans to attend a charlatan circus billed as a voter fraud “hearing” by Pennsylvania Republicans in Gettysburg after his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was exposed – again – to someone who tested positive for the coronavirus. Giuliani turned up anyway and Trump called in, his ravings audible via a speakerphone pressed up to a microphone.
The President attacked the courts, which have almost unanimously dismissed his outlandish claims, Democrats, with still more plainly absurd lies, and called – on whom, it was hard to say – to overturn the election results. A few hours later, he issued a pardon to loyalist Michael Flynn, his briefly tenured national security adviser who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about conversations with Russia’s then-ambassador.
Afterward, Trump invited the Pennsylvania Republicans to the White House for a West Wing meeting, two sources told CNN. It is a reprise of a gambit the President tried with two leading Michigan GOP state lawmakers, who visited Washington last week, for a debriefing the President hoped would yield more fuel for his baseless claims of election fraud. But he received none and the Republicans quickly released a statement afterward affirming the truth – that they had “not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan.”
Kangaroo courts perhaps. If you followed the proceedings on live link you sent yesterday you will have noted it’s clear they do not have a credible case. Wanting something to be true is not the same as proving it to be true.
If there is a case to be trialled, you can bet your life all your questions about evidence will be answered (a lot has already been published) and then finally comes proof. The trial yesterday was full of credible witnesses, voting statistics that indicate that the democrats rigged the ballots and clear evidence of fraud from dead people voting, votes out numbering voters, threats and violence towards republican officials and deliberate obstruction.
Your obsession with hating Trump is getting in the way of the truth, a common mistake with Trump haters.
Trump does have credible cases - lots of them too as we are finding out. Just because CNN says Biden is the president doesn’t make it true. Sounds to me as each day goes by you get more and more nervous about what is being discovered about the election and how the democrats tried to rig it.
Every day it becomes clearer that he will have to face defeat head on. The live stream yesterday proved why cases are falling apart one by one.
I don’t hate Trump. I do not have feelings for either Trump or Biden. But the will of the people should be respected. The results have demonstrated Biden has won. The rest is wishful thinking from the losing side.
That’s simply not true, Annie it’s the results that are the problem here.
If you really thought that fraud had not taken place you wouldn’t be in such a hurry for Biden to get in the White House, just like the main stream media and the pollsters
I’m in no hurry. The date he will be in the White House is 21st Jan 2021. There’s some fraud in every US election including the one which elected Trump. The current situation is interesting because it is such a global spectacle. I hope that we can go back to business as usual asap. There are more pressing issues in the world than one ego.
The nightmare for the UK that Biden will bring has already started to become evident.
His own Anglophobea, his want for a a part of the UK to be taken over by a foreign power on the same island as Ireland, the appointment of John “snake” Kerry in a senior role in his coven and the prospect of the awful Harris woman who is ANTIFA on the hoof.
For a US president obsessed by size – his hands, his wealth, his crowds – Donald Trump made something of a bold U-turn on Thursday night by addressing the country from a desk seemingly designed for a leprechaun.
Trump said on Thursday he would leave the White House if the electoral college votes for the Democratic president-elect, Joe Biden – the closest he has come to admitting defeat – but his furniture stole the limelight.
While he harangued reporters and repeated unfounded allegations of electoral fraud, the internet zeroed in on his unusually small desk. Some called it symbolic of Trump’s diminished stature, some wondered if it was photoshopped (it wasn’t), most just laughed.
There’s a great piece in todays “The Times” for those able to read it, commenting upon the problems faced by a Biden administration and how likely it is that Democrats will continue to lose support among the working class.
That does not bode well for their future.
“Left-wing Democrats are demanding radical ideas and appointments rather than a return to the Obama White House” is the sub-heading.
“John Kerry is back. Four words that sum up, for many Democrats, the strength of Bidenism but in fact sum up its weakness.”
It goes on to explain quite a bit in a sensible manner.
If you want to search for a free readable copy the title is: “Biden’s battle with his party is just beginning”.
