He sent up to seven e-mails a day to the cultists demanding their money. 'HE CHOSE YOU': Trump raised $250 million off supporters using common scam tactics Donald Trump raised $250 million off his election lies, according to the House select committee, and a new analysis showed he used tactics commonly associated with scammers to rake in money -- mostly from retirees. The committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection found the former president had raised a quarter of a billion dollars for the “Official Election Defense Fund,” which does not seem to exist, and a new analysis by Gizmodo examined the barrage of emails -- almost seven a day between the election and the U.S. Capitol riot. The emails frequently tried to make supporters feel like they had been individually targeted -- "This offer is meant for YOU, Friend, and is not intended to be shared," reads one, while another claims, "HE CHOSE YOU" -- although the emails had been sent to literally millions of other recipients.
Watch tiny hands Trump spending more time being worried about the placement of a glass of water next to him than he did on the Covid response.
Trump gets guidance from his boss on how to undermine an election and eliminate democracy -- at least that is what we can assume the call is about. Documentary Maker Claims Trump Had Secret Air Force One Call With Putin Just Before Election https://www.thedailybeast.com/alex-...orce-one-call-with-putin-just-before-election The filmmaker who spent months shooting a documentary with Donald Trump during his 2020 campaign has revealed a mysterious phone call between Trump and Vladimir Putin just before the 2020 election. Alex Holder—the British documentarian who gave evidence to the Jan. 6 committee this week—said White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows informed him that a scheduled interview with Trump aboard Air Force One would have to be canceled in late October 2020, nine days before Election Day. “I believe, if I remember correctly, that [Meadows] said that [Trump] was on the phone to the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, which is why the interview had to be postponed,” Holder told Politico’s Playbook Deep Dive podcast. It’s unclear what was discussed during the conversation, which Holder believes to have taken place just after news broke that Putin had denounced Trump’s allegations of wrongdoing against Hunter Biden.

Playgirl once ran a competition where the winner could sleep with Trump https://www.indy100.com/viral/donald-trump-playgirl-winner Playgirl appeared to have run a competition where the winner could sleep with former President Donald Trump. On Monday (27 June), @oldTrumpTweetz - the Twitter account dedicated to resharing interesting and bizarre moments from the former commander-in-chief - posted a few images from the 1990 Playgirl issue. The first photo is of the magazine cover, and the others are of the Trump ads. “He’s rich, almost single and yours for the asking. Here’s how [you can] get the Donald out of your dreams and into your bed,” another photo read. According to a Snopes fact check in January 2020, Playgirl did run the “Sleep with Donald Trump” contest in 1990. In the 1990s, Trump was in a messy and public divorce from his first wife, Ivana, which was displayed across New York tabloids. With Ivana’s claims of “cruel and inhuman treatment” at the hands of Trump, alongside other things, the former couple reached a divorce settlement that reportedly left her with anywhere from $14m to $25m. Following the wildly talked about divorce, the August 1990 issue of Playgirl magazine teased readers with a cover blurb that said, “Sleep with Donald Trump.” The publication intended to recreate the success of Playboy with a female audience. Snopes further notes that the “contest” — which was most likely a PR effort coordinated and paid for by Trump himself and/or a book publisher — was actually little more than deceptive wordplay, which was complimentary of Trump. Readers of the particular Playgirl issue also discovered that the “prize” to be won in the contest was a pillowcase with Trump’s face silk-screened onto it. With the pillow, they could “lie there whispering sweet nothings in his ear all night.” Elsewhere, Snopes added that there aren’t any records of the reactions of the winner if there happened to be any.
Trump knew Jan 6 protesters had weapons, resisted Secret Service, aide says By Farrah Tomazin June 29, 2022 https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-...secret-service-aide-says-20220629-p5axi1.html Washington: Donald Trump was well aware of the potential for violence on January 6 as he tried to subvert the 2020 election and even wrestled with his Secret Service in a bid to join supporters as they descended on the Capitol that day, a former White House aide has testified to Congress. In another explosive hearing into last year’s riot, Cassidy Hutchinson, a former top aide to Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows, said that the former president knew his supporters had weapons and body armour when he asked them to march to the Capitol building. The White House in the background, then president Donald Trump speaks at a rally before a mob invaded the US Capitol on January 6, 202Credit:AP “I don’t effing care that they have weapons, they’re not here to hurt me,” Hutchinson told the committee Trump said before addressing his rally, furious that the Secret Service was screening people for guns, spears and other weaponry. “Take the effing mags (metal detectors) away. Let my people in - they can march to the Capitol from here.” After the rally, Hutchinson testified, Trump was in the presidential car and tried to wrestle the steering wheel from his security guard, Bobby Engel – and then even lunged at Engel’s neck – after being informed they would be returning to the West Wing instead of the heading to the Capitol where Biden’s victory was going to be certified. “The president said something to the effect of: ‘I’m the effing president. Take me up to the Capitol now’,” Hutchinson said, “to which Bobby responded: ‘Sir we have to go back to the West Wing’. “The president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel. Mr Engel grabbed his arm and said: ‘Sir, you need to take your hand off the steering wheel, we’re going to back the West Wing; we’re not going to the Capitol’. Mr Trump then used his free hand to lunge at Bobby Engel.” Hutchinson appeared before the January 6 select committee on Tuesday as part of a surprise last-minute hearing to detail critical moments before and during last year’s deadly attack on Congress. The committee was not expected to hold another public session until mid-July, but announced on Monday, with less than 24 hours notice, that it would return to Capitol Hill “to present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony.” Hutchinson’s evidence is significant because she is one of the committee’s closest links to Meadows, who stopped cooperating with the January 6 committee shortly after turning over thousands of text messages last year. As his aide, her office was seconds from the Oval Office, and she was often present for critical White House meetings and conversations where challenges to the election were debated and discussed. One conversation took place on January 2, after a meeting between Meadows and Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, in which she said Giuliani told her: “We’re going to the Capitol. It’s going to be great.” Later, when she asked Meadows what Giuliani meant Meadows replied: “things might get real, real bad” on January 6. Hutchinson testified that she became “scared, and nervous for what could happen” as the day neared. Those fears intensified following conversations with White House counsel Pat Cipollone on January 3, who had warned her that if Trump were to go to the Capitol on January 6: “We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable.” “We need to make sure that this doesn’t happen, this would be a really terrible idea for us. We have serious legal concerns if we go up to the Capitol that day,’” Hutchinson recounted Cipollone saying. She also recalled Meadows telling Cipollone about the rioters chanting “Hang Mike Pence!” and of Trump reportedly declaring that Pence – who refused to block Biden’s victory that day –“deserves it.” She testified how Trump was so enraged by an interview his then-Attorney General Bill Barr gave to the Associated Press saying there was no evidence of election fraud that he threw his lunch at the wall. “I first noticed there was ketchup dripping down the wall, and there was a shattered porcelain plate,” she said. Hutchinson told the committee: “There were several times throughout my tenure with the chief of staff that I was aware of [Trump] either throwing dishes or flipping the tablecloth to let all the contents of the table go onto the floor and likely break or go everywhere.” Today’s hearing was the sixth public hearing by the January 6 committee so far. In each session, the committee has sought to make the case that Trump had a complex plan to remain in power despite knowing his actions were illegal, and was the person who essentially “lit the fuse” for the deadly attack on the Capitol last year. Much of this was based on an elaborate scheme to overturn the 2020 election, which involved assembling a group of pro-Trump electors in key battleground states who could replace genuine Electoral College electors. These slates of fake electors would then create phoney certificates for Trump that would be transmitted to Washington for counting during the joint session of Congress on January 6. Trump has consistently denied wrongdoing, however, and during Hutchinson’s testimony today, he posted on his social media website, Truth Social, that she was “bad news!” “I hardly know who this person, Cassidy Hutchinson, is, other than I heard very negative things about her (a total phony and ‘leaker’), and when she requested to go with certain others of the team to Florida after my having served a full term in office, I personally turned her request down,” Trump wrote. “Why did she want to go with us if she felt we were so terrible? I understand that she was very upset and angry that I didn’t want her to go, or be a member of the team. She is bad news!”
If congress passes this bill, violent crime will drop 75%.. It makes sense guys. Intervention, special training schools, and bio feedback therapy. “The Impse Control and Structured Family Act”. We need real reform ! Cory Booker, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris and many others would probably endorse this bill.
Documentary filmmaker who had access to Trump and his kids compared their dynamics to the family on HBO's 'Succession' https://www.businessinsider.com/doc...-trump-family-to-succession-characters-2022-7 A documentary filmmaker given special access to the Trump family has weighed in on their dynamic. Alex Holder compared Trump's and his adult children — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Eric — to a "real life succession drama." "It's sort of got this, like, 'Succession'-type vibe," Holder said of their interactions. A British documentary filmmaker who was granted exclusive access to the Trump family ahead of the Capitol riot has weighed in on the relationships between Trump and his three most famous adult children — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka and Eric. Speaking to Yahoo News on the outlet's podcast, "Skullduggery," Alex Holder said the family agreed to be filmed because they were "very, very confident they were going to win the election" and that their "hubris was just absolutely remarkable." Asked how he sold his project to the family, Holder said: "I mean, the pitch was I wanted to understand who they were as people. They had always complained about the coverage that they were getting in the US." "They were always complaining about the 'fake news media' and all that. So, let's try and understand who they are as people," he added. Holder also likened the relationship between Trump and his high-profile children to the hit HBO series "Succession," which centers on the dysfunctional and incredibly wealthy Roy family and its continuous scheming for control among its members. "And I'm speaking specifically about Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump, and then the president himself, and the interactions they have with each other, and the interaction they have with their father," Holder said. "It's sort of got this, like, 'Succession'-type vibe in the project," Holder said. "But also, you know, it is a real-life succession drama." Based on his interactions with the former president, Holder said he thought Trump was "delusional" and lives in "cloud cuckoo land." He added that he believed Trump was also "incredibly dangerous" because he never accepts blame and is "always right." "Donald Trump is not a rational player. I mean, he just isn't," Holder said. "You can't have a conversation with him in the same way that you can have a conversation with most other people. He is somebody that lives in a different reality." Representatives at Trump's post-presidential press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider. Holder's footage was subpoenaed by the January 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot in June. The footage is part of a documentary called "Unprecedented," which follows Trump and those in his inner circle in the months before the Capitol riot. A trailer of the documentary also includes interviews with Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and former Vice President Mike Pence.
