Good Morning Truppits.
Sitting here having a morning coffee I see the airwaves are lit up with good news for your magnificent POTUS, to say his popularity has grown in leaps and bounds overnight is an understatement, leaders from around the world are showing their support for the great job that Donald J Dump is doing.
His wonderful leadership on Immigration is showing the world how it should be done, his trade war with the world will go down in history as a lesson in proper Economics, his humbling truthful fact filled speeches are a shining light, a beacon of hope, in what can be a dreary world.
Yes, things are going so well for him that almost every Country in the World are demanding Hair Furor pay them a State Visit so that the country's leaders can learn how they too can bring their own citizens together.
Here are a few snippets from the Orange Eminence, the Lord Almighty, the King of America, and the Truppit Master, Donald J. Frump.

President Donald Trump has always been a frequent liar, but it’s getting worse.
CODY FENWICK, ALTERNET
20 JUN 2018 AT 06:37 ET
“According to an
analysis by Fact Checker through the end of May, Trump had made 3,251 false or misleading claims in 497 days — an average of 6.5 such claims per day of his presidency,” Parker writes. But this rate seems to be increasing, she notes.
“Trump is lying, obfuscating and inventing his own version of reality more frequently – a period that began post-Cohen raid but which has intensified in recent days.
Two major issues have prompted a deluge of new falsehoods from the president, Parker notes: the FBI inspector general report on Hillary Clinton’s email investigation, and the administration’s policy of separating immigrant families at the border.
Part of the reason for the increase in lies is an increase in tweets. In June, Trump has tweeted on average 11.3 times a day. These tweets are often filled with demonstrable lies. Trump also lies in
speeches, sometimes repeating those he’s said through other media. His lies, it seems, even seem to be catching.
Homeland Security Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen delivered misleading and falsehood-filled press briefing Monday.
But when you work for the Trump administration, lying on camera is apparently part of the job description.

What was Trump thinking?
Edward Morrissey
The Week
Fierce rhetoric on immigration was the fuel on which much of Donald Trump's presidential campaign ran. His promises to take a hard line on enforcement resonated with millions of American voters, who responded enthusiastically and flocked to his rallies.
But that doesn't mean doing so is good for him.
Indeed, President Trump's latest thoughtless action and comments on immigration threaten to crush Republican momentum in the midterm elections.

Donald Trump is indisputably the worst president in American history
Joel Mathis
http://theweek.com/articles/779929/donald-trump-indisputably-worst-president-american-history
eorge W. Bush was a terrible president. He fumbled everything from Katrina to Iraq to the economy. But even he wasn't all bad —
his AIDS initiative in Africa was a blessing to that continent, for instance.
Jimmy Carter is remembered as a disastrous president (possibly unfairly) but he's had a
post-presidency that's proved him an uncommonly decent man.
Lyndon Johnson's presidency collapsed in the Vietnam War — but hey, at least
he spearheaded the momentous Civil Rights Act.
The point is that even lousy presidents have a silver lining ... right? Well, maybe not. It is increasingly difficult to find one nice thing to say about President Trump.
Let's just look at the last month: In that time he and his administration have picked fights with allies, buttered up dictators, accelerated a nascent trade war, and created — purely for the sake of cruelty and cynical political leverage — a humanitarian disaster on our border with Mexico. Oh, and in his spare time, he's used his Twitter account to undermine the rule of law in hopes it will save him from prosecution.
That's a whole term of bad accomplishments for some presidents, but Trump is barely breaking a sweat.
Trump oversees a White House full of chaotic, petty backstabbing. He makes some key decisions, it appears,
purely for their trolling value. He
changes positions so frequently that no one can rely on his word, but you weren't going to trust his word anyway since he's
such a prolific liar. He tolerates
obvious corruption in his Cabinet. He can't quite bring himself to condemn Nazis. And what may be his greatest "success" — getting out of Congress' way to get a tax cut passed — was a handout to the rich that will be paid by the poor and middle class for years to come.
He's the worst.
There are other contenders for the title, of course, but a glance through American history reveals that most bad presidents — like the aforementioned Bush, Carter, and Johnson — have at least one thing going for them.
Richard Nixon was the only president to resign, thanks to Watergate, which instantly relegated him to the ranks of the worst presidents. But he also opened relations with the Chinese, eased tensions with the Soviets, established the Environmental Protection Agency and, heck, he even endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment. He was better than Trump.
Herbert Hoover left the economy in such bad shape that capitalism itself needed saving after his term. But like Jimmy Carter, Hoover was redeemed in private life by his tremendous humanitarian work during World War I — and he was even known to raise funds for what is now the Boys & Girls Club of America. He was better than Trump.
Warren G. Harding's presidency was beset with corruption and scandal — though the most famous, the
Teapot Dome scandal, wasn't revealed until after his death — and his private life, replete with infidelity, was nothing to brag about either. But he was also an early advocate of civil rights, urging that African Americans in the South
be given equal opportunity to vote, and he condemned lynching in unequivocal terms. He was better than Trump.
James Buchanan played fiddle while the forces that led to the Civil War were gathering momentum. This is regarded by many historians as one of the worst-ever presidential mistakes. And he was an early example of a now-familiar phenomenon:
a Northern man with Southern principles. Still, unlike Trump, Buchanan also had a long history of service to the public — serving as minister to Russia, ambassador to the United Kingdom, and secretary of state. Even he was better than Trump.
The list goes on. It is near impossible to find any president, no matter how terrible, of whom some nice things can't be said — until we get to Trump.
This raises a question: How might Trump possibly redeem himself? A Jimmy Carter post-presidency of philanthropy seems unlikely, given that New York is suing Trump for using his charitable foundation as a piggy bank to fund his private ventures. The best that can be said of "private life" Trump is that while he's a vulgarian con man, he's at least an entertaining vulgarian con man.

Republican Steve Schmidt leaves ‘the party of Trump’: ‘The GOP has become a danger to our democracy’
TRAVIS GETTYS
20 JUN 2018 AT 06:13 ET
Republican strategist Steve Schmidt — who convinced John McCain to appoint Sarah Palin as his running mate — renounced his membership in the Republican Party over the continuing abuses of President Donald Trump.
The GOP strategist and MSNBC analyst announced in an overnight tweetstorm that he was leaving “the party of Trump” after nearly 30 years as a registered voter.
He called the party “corrupt, indecent and immoral,” and he said with few exceptions Republican elected officials were “feckless cowards who disgrace and dishonor the legacies of the party’s greatest leaders.”
“This child separation policy is connected to the worst abuses of Humanity in our history,” Schmidt said. “It is connected by the same evil that separated families during slavery and dislocated tribes and broke up Native American families. It is immoral and must be repudiated. Our country is in trouble. Our politics are badly broken.
“The first step to a season of renewal in our land is the absolute and utter repudiation of Trump and his vile enablers in the 2018 election by electing Democratic majorities,” he added. “I do not say this as an advocate of a progressive agenda. I say it as someone who retains belief in DEMOCRACY and decency.”
Schmidt condemned the family separation policy and “internment camps for babies” established by the Trump administration and shamed the officials who allowed that to happen.
“Everyone of these complicit leaders will carry this shame through history,” he said. “(Their) legacies will be ones of well earned ignominy. They have disgraced their country and brought dishonor to the Party of Lincoln.”

Trump erases Obama-era offshore rules

Trump erases Obama-era offshore rules
June 20 (UPI) -- Executive action from the U.S. president eases offshore energy planning burdens. "The executive order reverses the misguided course of the 2010 National Ocean Policy," he said in
a statement.
Trump has worked to unravel some of the
safety measures implemented after the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the worst offshore spills in the history of the industry. Christy Goldfuss, senior vice president for energy and environment at the Center for American Progress, said the Trump administration has been reckless with offshore policies.
"This order is just the latest attack in what has become an all-out war on America's oceans."

Trump, border separations and the twilight of American moral leadership

Trump, border separations and the twilight of American moral leadership - CapX
They say that success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan. The moral and political failure on America’s southern border has, however, many fathers. It is entirely accurate to blame Donald Trump for the disgraceful cruelty of separating parents from children. The buck stops there, on the president’s desk.
Previous presidents have wished the whole border and immigration business would go away, or hoped that another, legislative form of magical thinking would fix it. This president arrived at the White House promising to introduce a punitive theme into America’s already harsh border policing.
