no one more than donald trump, trump is losing to joe biden full stop. so to sneak back in through the electoral college, he needs to win back those american brexit states that put him over the top in 2016. so his fixation on kenosha is relevant. or he needs to add a new state to his map. he posted six dozen tweets harping on fringe polls showing him winning michigan. and praising his supporters who were showing up with ar-15s at protests in portland, oregon. if trump wanted to end the violence in american cities, he could go on his twitter feed and tell his supporters to go home. it's a personality cult, they would do whatever he says. there's no anarchist group on the left who listens to joe biden. this is not a both sides thing. trump is openly doing the opposite, encouraging more violence. and cowing his party into refusing the violence. while his media friends laude the kenosha shooter. they know that's trump's only chance of winning, with 200,000 americans estimated dead by the election day, and the post office and the economy in tatters. it's to d

i'm lara trump. sister to kyle, mother to luke and carolina, and the daughter- in-law of our 45th president donald j trump. i come to you simply as an american. my life began like many in our country, i grew up in wrightsville beach, north carolina, my parents were small business owners and worked hard to make sure my brother and i had everything we needed but not everything we wanted. my parents raised me to believe that in america, i could achieve anything with hard work and determination. but the opportunities available to me were limited only by the size of my ambition, that i should dream big and i did. those very dreams are what lead me to new york city, i herd the add damage if i can make it there i can make it anywhere and i intended to do just that. never in a million years did i think i would be on this stage tonight and i certainly never thought that i would end up with the last name trump. my 7th grade english teacher mrs. b used to tell us, believe none of what you hear, half of what you

trump. president trump. as republicans, we are proud to stand with him and to work for you. together, we built the greatest economy the world has ever seen. and we will do it again. we confronted china head on. tour up bad trade deals -- tore up bad trade deals and made new ones. achieved energy independence. defended the sanctity of life. restored law and order at the border. we as every american knows, face an invisible enemy that we did not ask for. but we will defeated. becausedefeat it, america is where innovation happens. we have developed vaccines in record time. we will defeated, because president trump unleashed a marshall plan for mainstream. to get taxpayers back on their feet. we will defeat it, because tough times don't last. that americans do. that is what this election is all about. you, not us. joe biden and kamala harris think this election is about government, the law. it is about your family, your future, and to secure what really matters. to call on the bedrock of what ma

>> how donald trump is this evening. we saw him during the day and he gave a speech that was much like a lot of the other speeches he has given recently. he was full of grievance and talking how democrats are trying to use covid to steal the election and this is a convention his advisors say will be uplifting and optimistic. so the question is whether the president we see tonight can adapt to that role. >> david? >> you know, i have to say, yeah, yeah, i have to say dana says this is the reality show taking charge but the realty is he's nine points down and voting begins in three weeks and democrats had a strong convention and the idea this will be an optimistic uplifting exercise seems farfetched. if you listen to the previews, they seaem designed to do that o talk about the second amendment and talking about the kinds of issues that herschel walker apparently is going to talk about standing for the anthem and so on. this is meant to charge up trump's base. he's a base only guy and he needs to rev that base up if he has

six members of the trump show. six members of the trumpfamily trump show.aking to the convention. president trump has a lwa ys convention. president trump has always thought that he is his best cheerleader and spokesperson but he also puts tremendous store through loyalty a nd tremendous store through loyalty and the people he feels closest to and that give him the most loyalty are his family. that is why we have seen family. that is why we have seen if uncle trump being put into a position of special advisor —— ivanka. her husband as advisor —— ivanka. her husband as the special envoy to the middle east and the two sons, donaldjr and middle east and the two sons, donald jr and eric also trusted advisors although not in an official capacity. lara trump, who we have just heard from there, talking about the political opportunities in terms of managing his campaign and being, again, a trusted lou tennant, part of that in a family circle. very much the hallmark of the donald trump presidency. you vote for donald trump, the family comes with him. and that, he se

trump. [applause] as we look at the challenges at that america will face over the next four years, it is crystal clear that we need a leader who has the strength to fight for every american, every day. when it comes to this election, there is only one choice for america, only president trump will eradicate the coronavirus and rebuild our economy, only president trump will end our reliance on china and bring jobs back to america. only president trump will provide school choice to every american child. president trump will ensure that law enforcement is funded and protect the second amendment. only president trump will finish building the wall, protect our borders and this human trafficking networks. and only president trump has the strength to lead our country through our great challenges so every american can have the chance to live the american dream. it is my honor and great pleasure to nominate donald j. trump for the office of president to the united states of america.

trump. >> i'm a veteran california public school educator. i'm here to give voice to america's great teachers because our voices have been silenced for decades. by unions who claim to represent us. they do not. when other dedicated teachers and i served within the union, we spoke up in defense of children, parents, scientific facts, and american values. for our troubles we were brutalized, booed off the platform, barred from committees, shouted down, and even spit upon by union leaders. this is how unions treat devoted teachers. but what's even worse is how their agenda of control deceived americans and our children. they've intentionally rewritten american history to perpetuate division, pervert the memories of our american founders, and disparage our judeo christian virtues. their lenient discipline policies morphed our school into war zones an they backed defunding police and abolishing i.c.e. unions collect billions annually from unsuspecting teachers and push this radical agenda into ou

you know thing are bad for trump when he has a hard time wrangling the trump vote. hard to win the swing states when you're polling poorly with people you're sharing parents with. i have to say, this made me a fan of trump's sister, not because she dislikes her brother, buzz because she's 83 years old and she apparently loves cussing. i just want to go out to dinner with her. i'll have the (~bleep ) soup and, hey, if i got wings, would you assholes help beat the shit out of them? okay. we'll have some of those (~bleep ) wings. now, as he goes into the convention week, trump finds himself down big in the polls to joe biden, in large part because of his handling of the coronavirus. it has been an absolute disaster. so now, trump is trying to change that perception with some fresh blood. >> president trump has announce and emergency authorization for a coronavirus treatment that his administration hails as a "major advance." >> president trump making that dramatic announcement late sunday that the f.d.a. has authorized the use of convalescent plasma for emergencies. bu

and president trump's response? well, it's been to demand the doj spare his indicted friends, to punish his enemies, to investigate people that he disagrees with. to punish people for exercising their first amendment rights. if he fails, donald trump has been clear, this may sound like criticism. i'm actually just reporting what he says and does. he says if it fails, he'll do it himself. something that nixon never did in watergate but also demanding that they handle your ballots, crack down and suppress the vote tow donald trump can win. we are in the middle of our convention coverage and we have plenty on that tonight. we didn't know this would be the big news tonight. this indictment of donald trump's number one aide in 2016 in a white house adviser. here we are. and this is not a drill. i want to bring in special experts. maya wily is the former council to the mayor of new york city and she's considering a run herself. and we're joined by msnbc analyst joyce vance. good evening to both of you. what does it mean i

on night one thanking god for bringing america donald trump and the trump presidency. tonight, mike pompeo will be one of the late-night speakers. he is believed to have taped his speech today on the roof of the king david hotel in jerusalem, while abroad on a diplomatic trip. this means in terms of the visuals, we don't know what he's going to say, but he will be speaking with basically the holy sites of the city of jerusalem as the visible backdrop while he speaks tonight. and we will see what that means in terms of the religious claims or implications there. but it comes on jerry falwell day, and it will also be a shocking departure from state department protocol, which implores and requires diplomats, particularly those who are presidential appointees, to stay out of domestic politics. secretary pompeo will be the first secretary of state to speak at a political nominating convention since the end of world war ii. joining us now to understand why that is such a big deal, is susan rice, former u.n. ambassador, former national security adviser under president obama,

after donald trump did that on saturday, republican senator ben sass called the trump executive orders, quote, unconstitutional slop. and ben sass did that for two reasons. number, most importantly, because donald trump is so politically weak that ben sass believes he can win without any more help from donald trump. that's the most important reason ben sass did that. there was no political courage involved, just political calculation. donald trump can't hurt me. that's what ben sass thinks. and the second reason ben sass called donald trump's executive order unconstitutional slop is because it is unconstitutional slop. the unconstitutional slop includes a memo that the president signed about protecting people from being evicted from their homes. the memo orders members of the trump administration to study if there are any ways they might be able to come up with to protect people from evictions. in other words, it does absolutely nothing. another bit of the unconstitutional slop, which actually does nothing, is a trump plan to change the supplemental $600 a week unemployment benefit to

president putin and president trump shook hands on a new friendship about the 1st 2 years of trump's presidency but overshadowed by the so-called russian a fact the charge was conspiracy against the united states did the 2 men illegally collude i never worked for roger and you know that answer better than anybody i never worked for russia. there was signs of male bonding every time the 2 presidents matt found could a true partnership ever really develop. could these men really become friends or what mistakes destined to remain enemies. like there's nothing at all. you. know you're on the. ballot morning of bread or. my hand. but i never work. we're. back to 2016. in the run up to the u.s. presidential elections russia's state media backed the republican candidate donald trump a man known for his affinity towards russia would have a great relationship with putin and russia. political tensions between russia and the u.s. had been rising amounting even to talk of a new cold war. of those still the politics of u.s. democrats and president obama and steer the russian american relationship

trump having praised who. and putin now seeing the possibility that trump could play in this election and praising trump and somebody who could be presidential. but i showed you there's something i find important and can only approve of i see nothing wrong with it on the contrary but mr trump said he would be willing to restore russian american relations he's good what's bad about lax we all want bass you the money you don't you start using it as escape. from the russian perspective but it was clear whom to support in the election which in the star wars putin spoke favorably quite carefully about tromp. he said it was good but didn't say he thought trump was great or anything like that he was much more reserved. on the 22nd of july 2015 became the official republican presidential candidate i am asking for your support enough so that i can be your champion in the white house and i will be your champion. nobody knows the system better than me. which is why i love and can fix it. presented himself as putin's west

president trump will keep america safe. president trump will keep america prosperous. president trump will keep america america. if you're watching tonight and wrestling with your vote on november 3, i implore you tune out the bias news and hear it straight from 1 that knows. i wasn't born a trump. i was raised a carolina girl. i went to public schools and worked my way through a state university. mrs. b from my seventh grade english class was right. what i learned about our president is different than what you might have heard. i learned that he's a good man. that he loves his family. that he didn't need this job. that no one on earth worked harder for the american people. that he's willing to fight for his beliefs and for the people and the country that he loves. he's a person of conviction. he's a fighter and will never stop fighting for america. he will uphold our values. he will preserve our families. he will build upon the great american edict that our union will never be perfect until opportunity is equal for all, including and especially for women. our 40th pre

, trump, trump. and her family her mother, her father and barron. i think the relationship clearly has hit rocks at different times, been up and down. they had been together for 22 years. i have a lot the book about this, but she was furious about the revelations about his infidelity, embarrassed to no end as she was reading about stormy daniels and karin mcdougal and "access hollywood." but she has an extraordinary capacity to kind of figure out okay, , what is my next best mo? somebody who is still her for a long time was saying she always thinks that way. she doesn't do anything in a hurry, and did she get more from walking away from trump or staying with him? that's how she thinks. >> do you think those disclosures, they were certainly embarrassing. do you think they were surprising to her? >> several key people told me that she learned new details from all those press reports. she did not know the details. i find hard to believe that she didn't know -- she knew that something was going on but i'

how many trump towers, trump hotels, trump golf courses, gave me several trump ties and says the reason they are successful is two inches longer than most so americans - he wants the entire stick, late in the campaign where romney said something about trump is not really a business guy. he brings in trump states, trump water, 26 minutes bringing product out, the number one tv show which stayed on the air for 13 years so i would say he understands relentlessly positive optimistic branding that is the apprentice and the trump ties and so forth and understand counterpunching but they are different patterns. they happen to fit together but they are different patterns. >> c-span's coverage of the republican national convention starts this monday and booktv's look at other programs about donald trump and his campaign for reelection continues. of next a portion of a recent interview with faith and freedom innovation founder ralph read weighs in on why even indian -- evangelical christians should support the president. >> the president's walk to st. john's episcopal. >> i strongly supported it.

donald trump jr. was the one speaker who had the opportunity to humanize his father, the president of the united states of america, but he didn't do that, did he? he was more like a political speaker. >> in many ways was ramping up for his own father's speech, which we're anticipating on thursday which obviously will be written out and it will be prepared but we do know that he tends to go off and riff. i think what we saw in donald trump jr. is what donald trump wanted to hear his son say as he was preparing for perhaps the biggest speech of his lifetime on thursday. >> donald trump has raised hopes in america promising a covid-19 vaccine will come very soon in his words. we were told to expect surprises this week during the convention. any idea what that might be and what the rest of the rnc might offer? >> i think if you saw what happened this past evening where he had hostages that were repatriated back to the united states, freed, i suppose, from their captivity from some of these nations, i thin

is no ordinary trump. she's basically a retired federal judge, someone who has sort of been senate confirmed. she comes with credibility. >> chuck, i can tell you that my conversations with the president over the years have only hear him say positive things about his sister and he's very proud of what she has accomplished. i want to point out this past week the president and mary ann trump lost their brother, robert trump and he was just laid to rest and had services for him at the white house on friday and i really do think that it's shameful that the washington post came and ran the story yesterday, literally the day after the funeral services for robert trump just in an attempt to tear down the president and right after they laid their brother to rest i think is shameful. >> i want to ask you about another development that happened late this week involving another member of the president's 2016 campaign. it's somebody that you've worked quite closely with. it's steve bannon. i think folks are quite fami

does trump junior run? if the family runs, you have to assume the endorsement would go with the family. if they don't, it opens it up quite a bit. a lot of people want to carry the trump banner. you see that from florida governor ron desantis. do conservative populism you get neo josh hawley -- conservative you get from josh hawley. a lot of people are vying for that. the flip is, does anybody want to carry the banner if there is a trump loss november 3? i do not know. done the proper positioning to not have to carry that. pence does not have that option. he is tied very closely to trump. that has its benefits, that has its problems. in terms of actually getting an endorsement, that is a good one. the euphemism people use for trump is mercurial. we are not can i know and it could change. host: -- caller: i want to talk about the presidents. when we are voting for these presidents, about 14 of our presidents have been -- running,he bushes were before that they showed who they only way we could ever have peac

how did trump do it? understands the present and the like him he even says they're going to hate him and lie about him. but he's found a way to reach directly over the heads of those people directly to the american people, tweeting. sometimes, i don't like the tweets but some of them make my skin crawl. on the other hand it's been very effective for his ability to get directly to the american people. for that to me that's an institution that he and reagan and fdr and lincoln and going all the way back have preserved, which is the free speech of the american leaders to talk directly to the american people. >> how do we find that balance and freedom of the press also in the first amendment and we wouldn't have watergate if we didn't have the wall street journal and washington post reporters. where is the balance between a press mob getting in the way of the president and a state that's actually asking the questions that matter to get answers to the american people? is there always going to be attention. >>

i think that clearly what we are going to see all week is just trump, trump, trump, trump, trump.rt of rambling hour-long talk today and i really would be just delighted if i were running the joe biden campaign to see that, and to see more of that because it was, again, it was red meat for the base, and for those that drunk the kool-aid, it was great, but for anybody else, it got tedious and was absurd and ultimately it was the kind of thing you would tend to click off. we'll see if he does it every night, but he sure did it today. >> elise, only donald trump would not be insulted by what gene just said about kim jong-un, i think that's a comparison he would be flattered by. let me show you what we will do in a second trump term. >> i would strengthen what we have done and do new things. space force, for example, i have done more -- i have an interesting distinction, and actually sort of a bad person in terms of doesn't like republicans or me said trump is whether you like him or not, he's done more than he said he was going to do, like, i never mentioned space force, that campaig

trump.r the next four days, president trump and republicans are going to talk about all we have achieved the past four years and cast an aspirational forward-looking vision about what we can achieve in the next four. our convention is going to feature hard-working, everyday americans, not hollywood celebrities, who are going to help tell the great american story and how president trump's policies have made our lives better. policies like cutting taxes and rolling back jobs. creating over 9000 opportunities in all 50 states, and fighting for school choice. andilding the military securing our southern border, including nearly 300 miles of border wall -- yes, he is building that wall. clear, fairer trade deals like the usmca, appointing constitutional conservatives to the federal bench, over 200 of them, including neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh. ofering in a new era american energy independence, and taking out tariffs like al-baghdadi and general soleimani full -- taking out terrorists like a

trump was responsible for that. trump had helped some with that. it speaks to not just the dishonesty we've seen. we saw that on monday with the covid response. it shows night two they tried to act like the last six months didn't happen. i don't care if everybody had two chickens in their pot and a ford model t in their garage, over the last six months with covid it's been lost. african-americans in swing states like north carolina have only gotten 3% of ppp loans. large numbers have been fired first and not hired back. the economy is in shambles right now and it wasn't that stable beforehand and kudlow sat there doing a qvc sale at 3 krk in the morning, no, no, no, buy this deal. don't pay attention to what you have in your closet. that's what we saw, blieg what's happening. i used to work like 15 minutes from that place. he didn't say the lord's town plant. what happened is gm sold it to somebody else which is a non-union shop. they were hearing more people and the deal is new trucks for the united states postal service and we know trump is gutti

so it is donald trump versus not donald trump. now obviously, the republicans and president trump will try to define biden to the extent that he appears as his real name as opposed to come if you don't like donald trump, you vote for d joe biden. and the issues you mentioned will be one of the ways that republicans will try to do it, but it is usually a referendum on the president when an incumbent president is on. and that is going to be a problem for republicans, or at least it is to this point. host: as you know, the white house, the president was supporters continue to call into ofstion the mental fitness the former vice president. in an interview that aired tonight on abc and an expert on joe biden responding to that, saying "watch me, mr. president." your thoughts on that, larry sabato? guest: i will say that, my bias upfront, and i will say of someone close to 70, i think they are both too old. i do not think we should be electing presidents in their 70's. i am sure a lot of people disagree with me, but the ideal age for a

trumps dislike of obama on the other hand was personal not political. 2011 was a trial run for trump he launched his own unofficial election campaign aiming to run as the republican candidate in a 2012 presidential election challenging obama let me tell you. he doesn't like donald trump and the last guy in the world that he wants to run against is donald trump. trump rekindled an old rumor about obama claiming that his true birthplace was kenya and that the president was therefore not eligible for office trump was not i think on anybody's radar other than as a bit of a lark right in this in this back and forth and again as with so many things about trump you don't take it seriously at 1st because it just seems so outlandish and bizarre. obama finally published his birth certificate in april 20th at the traditional correspondents' dinner in washington the president hit back no one is that no one is prouder. to put this birth certificate matter to less than the donald. and that's because he can get back to focusing on the issues that matter. like. did we fake the moon landing. a slap i

it is written by trump's niece mary trump, a clinical psychologist. she describes donald trump as a sociopath who grew up in a dysfunctionanal family that fostered his greed and cruelty, which he is inflicting on the world. all thatat and more, coming up. dememocracynow, democracynynow.org, the quarante report. i'm amy goodman. the u.s. coronavavirus death tol is on pace to reach nearly 300,000 by d december r accordio an influential model by the institute for health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington. but the institute projects 66,000 lives could be saved if 95% of people in the united states wear face coverings. the u.s. death toll currently stands at 160,000, by far the highest total in the world. on thursday, the united states recorded m more than 2,000 newew coronavirus deaths, the highest daily y figure since may. this comes as arkansas, montana, nevada, north carolina and puerto rico all reported new records for r covid-19 deaths or the past week. in g georgia, two high school students have been suspended after they publishe

what we tend to forget for the industry of how trump won, trump voters and all of that, trump won fore won because he won in a year where a republican could win with 47%. romney lost with 46%. nonwhite turnout, particularly african-american turnout, declined for the first time in 20 years. so if you overlay the turn out over '16, trump loses. so trump never came into this from a very strong position. and had you gone to work, god forbid as the political director of the white house, the first day would have been about expanding your base. ultimately, politics is about addition more than subtraction. and trump has done the opposite. he thinks the more angry voter gets to count more. that's not how it works. and i think that they're just in complete denial about this. and, you know, i found that clients who have never lost, can't imagine losing and i think one of the disadvantages that the trump university facing now is that everybody said they were going to lose in '16. lord knows i said it. it's hard to find anybody more wrong than me. so when anybody says they're losing now, go back t

trump trump is the only president i will be voting for. ohio is trump country. lee is a republican in south carolina. where is caltans? > it is in a little small town close to spartanburg, south carolina. >> what do you think about another four years of a trump presidency? >> i think that is the only way to go. >> why? >> i grew up as a democrat. my whole life. but when i got older, i realized the democrats have changed tremendously. the republicans, they stand up. for what is right. and president trump, he has been the greatest president in my lifetime. >> what makes him so great in your view? >> because he stands up for the american people. >> all right. next call is hunter in pennsylvania. democrat line. what do you think about another four years of a trump presidency? >> i think it would be great. i'm a lifelong democrat. i'm definitely switching my party and voting republican this november. > why? >> i just like that trump is tough on crime. you know? he is not going to let them do what they are doing in the cities. he is going to get stuff done. >> next ca

the trump organization. where does all this lead? if the manhattan da has stuff, what does it mean? >> well, the clear immediate thing for your viewers is that what it means is that no pardon is possible because the state, any state, is a separate sovereign. so the president has no ability to pardon himself or anyone else. not an end state, not any people. so he can't protect people from what the manhattan d a's office, you know, digs up. it still remains to be seen, of course, whether there is criminal liability, whether they can make a case. but if they can, they're not going to have to deal with the issue of the president dangling pardons to try and thwart the cooperation of witnesses. >> tim, this has long been a source of intrigue for a lot of people, the relationship between the trump companies, the trump charity at the time, the trump family and the business that they did in new york. you, of course, have studied this a great deal. what's the stuff that you think the da is -- might be latching on to h

president trump, 45%. disastrous democratic national convention. president trump's rising in the polls, correlating with a strong and resounding message this week from his party. unlike joe biden, this president stands with the

and tiffany trump. florida. you're supporting joe biden, tell us why. the republicans for me have been a bunch of scare tactics. party is supposed to want to do things right. somebody who is protects you. my dad make sure we are provided for. corona our the leader did nothing about it. you have to protect the financial side and the families physically as well. we have been hurt by our leader and nobody is acknowledging that. a good leader would not let this happen to america. jan, in simpsonville supporting the president. did you watch last night? caller: i did. host: did any of the speeches stand up to you? who did you enjoy listening to? caller: i enjoyed listening to them all. i am very proud to be a republican. has done everything he said he was going to do. i don't agree with some of the tweets. he is a leader. that is what we need. i just believe so much other stuff they are trying to blame him for is just not true. host: could you look forward to hearing from this week? caller: i'm not sure who a

and maine deserves a leader, not a trump stuj. it's time for susan collins to go. >> the ad by the lincoln group, the lincoln project, what is your -- they initially were ads against the president, criticizing the president. they've dived now into the senate races. what's your take? >> so, this is probably one of the bigger changes from 2016. in 2016, we did see republicans deflect from the party. we saw republicans say that they would not vote for trump. but we didn't see a lot of money behind that. and we also didn't see a lot of republicans say that because they were not voting for trump they would then vote for hillary clinton. in 2020, we are beginning to see that a little bit more. the biggest impact or the biggest example of this probably is the lincoln project's major financial investments, not only the presidential race but down ballot. now, that ad was targeting susan collins in maine. the fact that they actually talked about donald trump directly in that ad is significant. in other states we are not seeing lincoln proje

trump sought his revenge on obama. and he was not the only one in russia putin too was waiting for the moment to take revenge on his american counterpart but 1st he had to win an election himself. yet in the run up to the elections of march 2012 moscow became the epicenter of an unprecedented wave of demonstrations against the government. protest much of this post but i mean we would have got out of the crisis began after the parliamentary elections in early december 27th in the country here she raked in each year what happened where next was what happens elsewhere when citizens realize their votes i'm not being heard correctly they go out on the streets that it would start out in blamed hillary clinton for giving the signal for the protests. are laughable. at the same time she was secretary of state with the u.s. state department provided funding for russian n.g.o.s to observe the elections to putin this was direct interference in his regime. hillary clinton wanted to topple him and organize a revolution in russia so

i'm donald trump jr.ry, to talk about this country we all love, this land of promise and opportunity of heroes and greatness. just a few short months ago, we were seeing the american dream become a reality for more of our citizens than ever before. the greatest prolonged economic expansion in american history, the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 50 years. the lowest unemployment rates ever for black americans, hispanic-americans, women, and pretty much every other demographic group. and then, courtesy of the chinese communist party, the virus struck. the president quickly took action and shut down travel from china. joe biden and his democrat allies called my father a racist and a xenophobe for doing it. they put political correctness ahead of the safety and security of the american people. fortunately, as the virus began to spread, the president acted quickly and ensured ventilators got to hospitals that needed them most. he delivered ppe to our brave front line workers. and he rationalide the mighty

trump.rump challenged and an evers to challenge increasingly provocative and militant china. but make no mistake. president trump is no hawk. he wisely wields the sword when required, but believes in seeking peace instead of perpetual conflict. just over a week ago, our president brokered a peace agreement between the united arab emirates and israel. the first in the middle east in over 25 years. this week, afghan negotiators with help from american officials will start peace negotiations between the taliban and the afghan government to end america's longest war. ask yourself, has this president kept his promises? to keep us out of needless conflicts and pursue ending wars without end? has he defended your interests in renegotiating trade deals that previously hurt americans' international security? has he fulfilled his commander-in-chief role by decisively going after our nation enemies? you and i know, the answer is yes. the choice is clear. this is the most important election of our lifet

trump cut it. they detected a team and created that team in the national security council to global health and security, dedicating global bio work of defense. donald trump eliminated it. the implemented standards for nursing homes to improve infection control. donald trump is erasing them. before the virus hit, trump made us vulnerable. -- made our country vulnerable. after it was struck, he failed to do what was necessary. as it continues, he is making it worse every day. just this week, the social security administration said a cut to social security like the one trump is proposing would end disability benefits within one year. and all benefits within three years. let me be as clear as possible. if donald trump's extreme proposal goes into effect, the checks that american seniors are relying on, that you rely on to pay your bills, to buyer ur medicine, to live, will stop coming. the very people who have suffered so greatly in this crisis. it is unthinkable. and in the middle of a health crisis m
