Former national security advisor whose own professor said he had no fucking business working at the White House.
He was also denied a government position in Hungary due to his ties with neo-Nazi groups.
Oh yeah, and he has an outstanding warrant in Hungary for firearms related charges.
And he's a piece of garbage human being.
Really, everything you need to know about him can be stated in this image of him with his hilarious custom license plate

Some more good news for Trump.....https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/...auto-companies
President Trump on Monday touted a host of new investments in the U.S. worth billions of dollars.
One of the investments is a $4 billion joint venture on behalf of Hyundai, Kia and Aptiv to develop autonomous driving technologies, which the president noted would bring a lot of “great jobs” back to America.
The companies said last week that the driving platform would be available for robotaxi providers and automotive manufacturers in 2022.
Additionally, Trump said Navistar, a leading manufacturer of trucks and buses, would be building a $250 million truck factory in San Antonio, Texas – bringing an additional 600 jobs.
Trump also mentioned – as previously reported by FOX Business – that tech giant Apple will build its new Mac Pro in Austin, Texas, after it was granted exemptions from tariffs to import parts from China.
“The Mac Pro is Apple’s most powerful computer ever and we’re proud to be building it in Austin,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement last week. “We thank the administration for their support enabling this opportunity.”

“ The Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to - prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms..” - Samuel Adams
Not even that, don't give them that line. Trump is trying the claim credit for every good thing that happens in America, and that is fundamentally an extremely dishonest position. America has the world's largest economy, on any given day, big deals are being made and new investments are being made. This happens under every president.
What Trump is doing is that every time he is in desperate trouble, he trots these out and pretends he is somehow involved, when he fucking isn't. America is a great country, that has a great economy, it is full of great people and great tech. Trump is responsible for absolutely none of it. The deals Trump was personally involved in are the ones that have turned out to be poison for their communities, like the Foxxcon plant, and the whole coal industry.
Don't let this be about Trump, it isn't. The world still doesn't revolve around that traitor, even if Ghostpanther slaps his name on it for no reason.
Edit: My bad, Ghostpanther wasn't the one that slapped the name on. Fox Business did that. Point still stands, he just didn't do it himself, he just parroted it.

So...in less than three years, Trump has named more lobbyists to positions within the federal government than Bush or Obama. Over either of their eight year terms.
The "drain the swamp" horse has already been long since reduced to mere atoms so I won't make another joke at the poor old gal's expense.
Hey if my job numbers routinely got downgraded by dozens of thousands every month, I would brag about 600 jobs, too.
And yes, to put it in perspective, Trump's 2% GDP growth -- compared to, say, the 3% which is less than the 4% he promised -- pro-rated every month would be $16 billion. Trump is bragging about making back about one-quarter of the gap between "can you imagine never getting 3%?" to "oh, so this is what it's like to never get 3%"
Conspiracy to defraud the United States for making up a fake investigation.
Campaign finance violation for asking a foreign country to help in an election.
Soliciting a bribe from a foreign nation.
If there was a legitimate reason for an investigation, which there isn't, the proper way for that to be conducted is for the DOJ to open an investigation and then get in contact with their counterparts in Ukraine. The AG is the United State's top law enforcement officer, not the president. The president's role in investigations is nothing.
Let me be clear: The president does not start investigations. He can refer matters to the DOJ, but it is the DOJ that decides whether or not to open an investigation.

Attorneys working with foreign law enforcement agencies on former US officials need security clearance? That sounds ridiculous.
- - - Updated - - -
There was no "asking to fabricate" (only to investigate), and there was no extortion (as Ukraine wasn't even aware that anything was delayed).
There is no definition of "conspiracy theory" that could preclude any attorney from working on gathering evidence about it.There is no probable case, that is a conspiracy theory.
They need to be representatives of American law enforcement agencies, that's for sure. William Barr would count, Rudy Giuliani wouldn't. That's why the Australia calls are less important, legally, it just sets a base for how absolutely fucking crazy the conspiracies that these jackasses believe are.
The conspiracies they believe are literally the things that will get them kicked out of office, because they're dumb enough to not only believe them, but pursue them, at the risk of our own national security apparatus.
