Trump Criticised For Leaving Hospital To Greet Supporters

October 5, 2020 5:56 pm

US President Donald Trump sparked an angry backlash from the medical community Sunday with a protocol-breaking visit to his supporters outside the hospital where he is being treated for the highly-infectious, potentially deadly new coronavirus.

He was masked as he waved from inside his bulletproof vehicle during the short trip outside Walter Reed military medical center near Washington, which appeared designed to take back the narrative on his improving health after a weekend of muddled messaging from his doctors.

The last-minute limousine outing came with Trump’s doctors satisfied enough about his progress to suggest the possibility of his being discharged …

Trump Called US Marines Killed In WWI Battle ‘Losers’: Report

September 5, 2020 1:01 pm
US President Donald Trump referred to US Marines buried in a WWI cemetery in France as “losers” and “suckers” for getting killed in action, according to a report friday in the Atlantic magazine.

 

The report, penned by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, said Trump had refused to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris in 2018 because “he feared his hair would become dishevelled in the rain,” although the official explanation offered by aides was that the helicopter due to take him there could not fly due to weather.

“In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning …

US Election: Trump Tells North Carolina Voters To Vote Twice

September 3, 2020 3:45 pm

US President Donald Trump has told people in the state of North Carolina to vote twice in November’s election, despite this being illegal.

Mr Trump suggested voters send a postal vote and then vote in person in order to test the system.

The president has frequently made false claims that postal votes are vulnerable to significant electoral fraud.

“Let them send it in and let them go vote,” he told North Carolina broadcaster WECT-TV on Wednesday.

“And if the system is as good as they say it is then obviously they won’t be able to vote (in person).”

Kamala Harris Officially Becomes US Vice-Presidential Candidate

Trump Fans False Birther Theory About Kamala Harris

August 15, 2020 4:56 pm

US President Donald Trump has stoked false claims that Democratic vice-presidential contender Kamala Harris is ineligible to hold that office because her parents were foreign-born.

The claims about Harris — who was born in the United States, making her constitutionally eligible to be both vice president and president — echo a baseless theory that Trump long promoted about his predecessor Barack Obama.

“I heard it today that she doesn’t meet the requirements,” Trump said at a White House news conference on Thursday, referring to an August 12 opinion piece in Newsweek.

The article by conservative law professor John Eastman says …

Donald Trump Suggests Delay To 2020 US Election

July 30, 2020 5:33 pm

US President Donald Trump on Thursday floated an unprecedented delay to the 2020 election — which polls show him losing — but the suggestion drew cross-party fire and has virtually no chance of being accepted.

Trump, who faces Democrat Joe Biden on November 3, has no constitutional authority to change the date, which is set by law.

His mere airing of the idea, however, broke with presidential custom, adding to tension in a country ravaged by fallout from the coronavirus pandemic and set on edge by bitterly partisan politics.

Trump’s rationale was his claim, not backed by evidence, that large-scale …

Diplomats Believe Joe Biden Will Repair The Damage Done By Trump

Diplomats Believe Biden Will Repair The Damage Done By Trump

July 4, 2020 1:23 pm

Joe Biden’s election as US president in November would restore UK-US relations, repair the diplomatic damage caused by the Trump administration, and boost the prospects of a transatlantic trade deal, according to European diplomats and trade experts.

The transatlantic alliance between the US and its European allies has been under growing strain since Trump’s election in 2016.

The president’s attacks on multilateral institutions such NATO, his attacks on Europe’s rapprochement with Iran, and his decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord have all tested the long-standing “special relationship” with the UK and other European allies.

The damage has …
