Hij voert inderdaad alleen maar wat uit als hij er zelf van profiteert. Dat is duidelijk.

En hoe kan dat dan? Die ging toch als een tierelier dankzij de belastingverlaging?

quote:

The typical American household, however, may not feel much of a financial pinch as a result of the drop. For starters, stocks have since recovered much of their late 2018 losses, although they remain below the record highs set earlier in the year.

More important, most of the household wealth in the United States is owned by the country’s richest families. In 2016, for instance, the top 1 percent of families owned 40 percent of all household wealth, with the next 9 percent of families holding an additional 39 percent. That leaves 21 percent of the country’s net worth for the remaining 90 percent of American families.

Furthermore, about half of American families don’t own any stocks, while the top 10 percent of families control about 84 percent of the stock market.

quote:

Trump's "Budget for a Better America" also includes dozens of spending cuts and policy overhauls that frame the early stages of the debate for the 2020 election. For example, Trump for the first time calls for cutting $845 billion from Medicare, the popular health care program for the elderly that in the past he had largely said he would protect.

His budget would also propose a major overhaul of Medicaid, the health care program for low-income Americans run jointly with states, by turning more power over to states. This would save $241 billion over 10 years.

Other agencies, particularly the Environmental Protection Agency, State Department, Transportation Department, and Interior Department, would see their budgets severely reduced.

Nancy Pelosi on Impeaching Trump: ‘He’s Just Not Worth It’

There have been increasing calls, including from some of your members, for impeachment of the president.

I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.

Trump: Ethics reform package will 'drain the swamp...

quote:

When President Trump first incorporated his pledge to “drain the swamp” into his campaign speeches in October 2016, he told audiences that he’d been lukewarm on the slogan at first.

“You know,” he told an audience in North Carolina, “I said that about a week ago and I didn’t like it that much, didn’t sound that great. And the whole world picked it up.”

He talked a bit more about draining the swamp and then returned to his initial reticence.

“I was listening the other day to a great singer, great, one of the great legends, and said that, you know, so and so didn’t like it, didn’t like it, became one of the greatest hits of all time,” he said. “So drain the swamp, I didn’t like it, now I love it, right?”

One might have thought at the time that Trump didn’t initially like the slogan because it was corny or off message. But now it seems fairer to assume that he didn’t like the slogan because he didn’t actually mind the swamp one bit.

There are lots of ways in which one might measure D.C.'s swampiness, but few are more obvious than to track the movement of lobbyists. These are the swamp’s alligators as it’s commonly understood, chewing through ... money, I guess? The analogy doesn’t really work that well, honestly, but let’s not let that detract from the point.

Data provided to The Post by the liberal organization American Bridge 21st Century identifies over 350 individuals who’ve worked as lobbyists who currently work in the administration, have worked in it or have been nominated to serve in Trump’s administration. Cumulatively, they’ve represented more than 2,800 companies at one point or another, according to lobbying registration documents. Nearly 200 of them now served or have been nominated to serve in divisions of government that they once lobbied.

ddiamond twitterde op maandag 11-03-2019 om 22:46:15 One sentence buried near the end of today's 162-page HHS budget proposal hints at the Nicklaus project. Story now outside the firewall: https://t.co/CPIhd1j8tp reageer retweet

quote:

The White House's proposed budget includes funding for a small children's health program sought by one of President Donald Trump's golfing buddies: Jack Nicklaus.

Under the administration's fiscal 2020 funding plan released Monday, HHS would steer $20 million toward a mobile children's hospital project at Miami's Nicklaus Children's Hospital, named for the legendary golfer.

Nicklaus had lobbied Trump on the golf course in Florida, and he met with HHS Secretary Alex Azar and then-OMB Director Mick Mulvaney in Washington, D.C., to request funds, say two individuals with knowledge. Trump personally directed HHS to earmark the funds to help Nicklaus develop mobile children's hospitals, one individual said.

While HHS has supported the use of mobile hospitals after disasters, like devastating hurricanes that have hit the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean, health officials haven't previously seen the need for specialized mobile hospitals for children.
