[AMV] Amerikaanse politiek #455 Fired, but Backed Off

quote:

The ghostwriter of Donald Trump’s best-selling book “The Art of the Deal” has claimed the President is frightened by black people.

Ghostwriter Tony Schwartz appeared on CNN to discuss Mr Trump’s Twitter feud with LaVar Ball, the father of a UCLA basketball player who was recently released from jail in China. Host John Berman asked Mr Schwartz whether the President chose his latest Twitter target because of what he said, or because of how he looked.

The writer responded: “Both.”

“So first of all, [Mr Ball] is a tall black man, and I think Trump is half awed and half frightened by black people,” he said, “and his only way of dealing with them is to attack them.”

Asked by Van Jones whether it's OK for Trump "to say terrible things but put money in our pockets" amid Trump's claims that unemployment for African-Americans has dropped, Jay-Z said no, "because it's not about money at the end of the day. Money doesn't equate to happiness. It doesn't. That's missing the whole point.

"You treat people like human beings. That's the main point," he said. "It goes back to the whole thing -- 'Treat me really bad and pay me well.' It's not going to lead to happiness, it's going to lead to, again, the same thing. Everyone's going to be sick."

The president's long-awaited infrastructure package will expect cities and states to pick up much more of the costs for their projects.

President Donald Trump won the White House promising a $1 trillion, 10-year blueprint to rebuild America — an initiative he said would create millions of jobs while making the nation’s highways, bridges, railroad and airports “second to none.”

But the infrastructure plan he's poised to pitch in Tuesday’s State of the Union is already drawing comparisons to the “Hunger Games.”

Instead of the grand, New Deal-style public works program that Trump's eye-popping price tag implies, Democratic lawmakers and mayors fear the plan would set up a vicious, zero-sum scramble for a relatively meager amount of federal cash — while forcing cities and states to scrounge up more of their own money, bringing a surge of privately financed toll roads, and shredding regulations in the name of building projects faster.

The federal share of the decade-long program would be $200 billion, a sum Trump himself concedes is "not a large amount." The White House contends it would lure a far larger pool of state, local and private money off the sidelines, steering as much as $1.8 trillion to needs as diverse as highways, rural broadband service, drinking water systems and veterans’ hospitals. (Maybe even commercial spaceflight, one recently leaked draft suggests.)

The administration isn't expected to issue full details for two to four weeks. But already, the details that have emerged are unnerving some key infrastructure supporters in Congress, who say it's unrealistic to propose such a mammoth program without money to pay for it. They also note that Trump's budget proposals have called for cutting existing infrastructure programs at the Department of Transportation and the Army Corps of Engineers.

“I think we’re down to minus about $200 billion, because I don’t think they have enough money to fund the current program, let alone anything on top of it,” said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), who recently sat in on a meeting with lawmakers and administration officials on the plan. “I don’t see any money from what I’ve seen so far at all. Zero. Not $200 billion, certainly not a trillion.”

Some notable immigration “hawks” in Congress are showing support President Donald Trump’s new immigration plan that backs a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers, a senior White House aide said Sunday.

Speaking on"Fox News Sunday," White House legislative affairs director Marc Short rallied support for Trump’s immigration plan, which was released Jan. 25. It calls for a path to citizenship for 1.8 million people brought to the United States as children. The figure is more than double the 690,000 people currently enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) initiative. Trump's plan also requests $25 billion for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border as well as funds to hire additional personnel.

“We can help to fix this problem once and for all,” Short said. “Conservatives recognize the benefit of to really securing our border and helping to fix these long-term problems. So yes, I think we are going to get widespread support on our side.”

“The question is are Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi willing to provide cover to their members from the radical left-wing base,” he said, referring to the top Democrats in the Senate and House, respectively.

Maar goed, hij schippert nogal qua standpunten en kan best zo zijn dat hij zijn boodschap aanpast aan het publiek. Bij ABC zullen wat minder conspiracy nutcases kijken dan bv Fox News.
