Gillespie shuns Trump in biggest race of 2017
quote:As the Virginia and New Jersey governors races draw to a close, one person is conspicuously absent from the trail: President Donald Trump.
The president hasn’t appeared in either campaign, an indication of his increasingly narrow political appeal and his growing inability to draw support in swing and liberal states. Trump’s absence in the competitive Virginia contest is especially striking: He is the first president since Richard Nixon, who at the time was in the throes of the Watergate scandal, not to campaign in its governor’s race.
Why Trump hasn’t appeared in Virginia is partly a function of his own wishes — Trump simply never expressed much interest in the race, several White House advisers said. But it also has to do with Republican candidate Ed Gillespie.
The administration made it clear to Gillespie that it wanted to be helpful however possible and was open to sending the president, three Trump aides said. Vice President Mike Pence appeared at a rally and fundraiser for Gillespie, but administration officials said the candidate never made a hard ask for Trump.
Gillespie’s team reviewed polling in the final weeks of the race showing that Trump was a drag — his approval ratings had been stuck in the low 40s in the commonwealth for some time. While the president is well-liked across much of the conservative southern part of the state, he is extremely unpopular in the more liberal northern suburbs. Top officials in Gillespie’s campaign worried that bringing in the president would mobilize Democratic turnout in Northern Virginia.

Trump vergeet te melden dat hij in februari een wet ondertekende die verbod ophief voor mensen met psychische problemen om wapens te kopen.

Wat een toeval! En hogere stroomprijzen zijn niet erg met die lagere belastingen!quote:A proposal by Energy Secretary Rick Perry to alter the nation's electricity markets would provide a windfall for a small group of companies — most strikingly one owned by coal magnate Bob Murray, a prominent backer of President Donald Trump.
Perry's plan would force consumers to subsidize ailing coal-fired and nuclear power plants with billions of dollars, in what he calls an effort to ensure that the nation’s power network can withstand threats like terrorist attacks or severe weather. But his narrowly written proposal would mostly affect plants in a stretch of the Midwest and Northeast where Murray's mining company, Murray Energy, is the predominant supplier, according to a POLITICO analysis of Energy Department data.
The company and its PAC together sent $200,000 to pro-Trump election efforts last year, while Bob Murray threw an invitation-only West Virginia fundraiser for Trump in 2016.
Perry's proposal, which needs approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, is the Energy secretary's most aggressive step yet toward helping Trump reverse what he has denounced as former President Barack Obama's "war on coal." But while it would stimulate demand for coal, it would also increase power prices for millions of customers.

Erm....was dit al voorbij gekomen? Russian Lawyer Who Met With Donald Trump Jr. Claims He Offered A Quid Pro Quo
quote:“Looking ahead, if we come to power, we can return to this issue and think what to do about it,’’ Trump Jr. said during the June 2016 meeting, according to Natalia Veselnitskaya.
