‘He’s been neutered’: Trump supporters melt down after president calls Islam ‘one of world’s great faiths’
As President Donald Trump is getting hammered on the left for not using the expression “radical Islamic terrorism” during his speech in Saudi Arabia, he is also taking heat from his avid supporters who were drawn to him due to his anti-Mulsim rhetoric when he is in the U.S.

His crime?
Calling Islam “one of the world’s great faiths.”

That double hit — ducking “Islamic terrorism” while praising the religion — was not received very well on Twitter.
Trump’s latest troubles come following a night when Trump confidante Roger Stone tweeted “This makes me want to puke,” under a picture of Trump bowing before the Saudi king.

"He's been neutered" bedeutet "Er wurde kastriert".
und "This makes me want to puke," heisst "dies bringt mich zum kotzen"

McCain: I’m ‘Almost Speechless’ Over Report Of Trump’s Remarks To Russians
“I’m almost speechless because I don’t know why someone would say something like that,” McCain said on “Fox News Sunday.”

McCain on Sunday called Lavrov “nothing but a propagandist” and “the stooge of a thug and a murderer” who “had no business in the Oval Office.”

With regard to Comey’s firing, McCain said he could not explain Trump’s decision.
“Mr. Comey was highly respected and highly regarded, so I can’t explain it. I don’t think it was a smart thing to do,” he said. “Honestly, I cannot explain a lot of the President’s actions.”

Rubio: ‘People Got What They Voted For’ When It Comes To Trump Admin Drama
“People got what they voted for. They elected him,” Rubio said. “I don’t understand why people are that shocked.”

He said the drama surrounding Trump’s presidency is “unique,” but said it is “not much different” from Trump’s “very unconventional campaign.”
“And that’s what the American people voted for,” Rubio said.

In November 2016, Rubio — who endorsed Trump in July last year — implied that he cast his vote for the Republican candidate, though he declined to use Trump’s name.

Chaffetz: ‘I Hope’ Trump Didn’t Disparage Comey To Top Russian Diplomats
House Oversight Committee chair Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) on Sunday said he hopes a report that President Donald Trump disparaged former FBI Director James Comey to Russian officials is not true.

Asked on ABC’s “This Week” to respond to a report that Trump told Russian officials Comey was a “nut job,” Chaffetz said, “Well, I hope that’s not true.”

“I don’t know if that was said or not said,” he said. “You would like, I would think, the President to kind of beat them over the head with the fact that if they did, the Russians, if they actually did interfere in any way, shape, or form, how wrong that is and how outraged America is on both sides of the aisle.”

“Financial Crimes” And Why Trump is Right to Worry
The main takeaway from Friday’s Washington Post story on Trump/Russia was that the investigation has now expanded to include a current White House official who is close to the President as a “significant person of interest.” That’s a big deal not least because the description (1. current White House official, 2. present during the campaign and 3. “close to the president”) matches up so closely with the President’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. But to me that wasn’t the most noteworthy revelation.

What jumped out to me was that the authors twice invoked investigators’ focus on “financial crimes.”

As you’ve seen, what I’ve been focused on in recent months are a series of business ventures over the last couple decades – either involving President Trump or his close associates – which seemed to rely on capital from people from the former Soviet Union or recent emigres from those countries. Trump himself, Felix Sater, Michael Cohen and many others figure into this as well as Manafort, Trump’s children, the Kushners and still others. My interest of course is to understand the roots of Trump’s affinity with the post-Soviet oligarch world and whatever financial ties or dependence he has on it. But even if you take the Russia/Former Soviet Union connection with its geopolitical dynamics out of the equation, you simply can’t read over these deals and not see that Trump and his crew just play way out on the outer fringe of legality at best. At best. People who have done or subsequently did time in the US or other countries repeatedly appear in the picture. So do people from organized crime. A lot.

One thing you find looking through Trump’s history is that after his fall from financial grace a quarter century ago this pattern seemed to become part of the business model. Cut off from capital from the big banks and most people interested in not losing their money, he had to do business with people with decidedly sketchier reputations....

...Here are just a couple examples of some color from the kinds of associations and business dealings I’m talking about: one and two....

Donald of Arabia
He didn’t do anything embarrassing. But he did commit the United States to a deeper alliance with the very leaders who are part of the problem.

Those who expected Donald Trump to fly into Riyadh and insult his Saudi hosts with the kinds of broadsides he delivered on the campaign trail against Islam and Muslims needn’t have worried.
The president who once accused Saudi Arabia of complicity in the 9/11 attacks praised its “magnificent” and “sacred land.” ...

...It was as if, as former Bush administration official Elliott Abrams put it, the terrorists were aliens from outer space, rather than the twisted product of broken societies that have yet to divine how to stop churning them out. “He offered no explanation of what was producing this phenomenon,” Abrams noted in an email to my colleague Annie Karni. “Trump had no theory, and therefore could not suggest what might be done to prevent more extremists from rising.”...

Kushner keeps most of his real estate but offers few clues about potential White House conflicts
Kushner, 36, who is emerging as a singularly powerful figure in the Trump White House, is keeping nearly 90 percent of his vast real estate holdings even after resigning from the family business and pledging a clear divide between his private interests and public duties.

The value of his retained real estate interests is between $132 million and $407 million and could leave him in a position to financially benefit from his family’s business.

It is not clear from Kushner’s financial filings whether any of his holdings might intersect with his broad and evolving responsibilities in the White House. This week, Kushner has been close by the president during the administration’s first international trip, with stops in Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Vatican, Belgium and Italy.

“Right now, the only thing that the public has is the assurances from the White House that everybody is complying with ethics rules,” said Don Fox, a former general counsel of the Office of Government Ethics.

Trump plant offenbar radikales Sozial-Sparprogramm
Donald Trump setzt den Rotstift an - bei Bedürftigen und Behinderten. Laut "Washington Post" will der US-Präsident die medizinische Hilfe für Arme massiv einschränken und so 800 Milliarden Dollar sparen.

Der Staat soll sparen: US-Präsident Donald Trump plant, die Versorgung armer und behinderter Bürger mit kostenloser medizinischer Hilfe und Lebensmitteln einzuschränken. In einem Haushaltsentwurf seien tiefe Einschnitte an den entsprechenden Programmen vorgesehen, berichtet die "Washington Post".

Zudem werde erwartet, dass Trump Änderungen an einem Programm vornehmen wolle, das arme Amerikaner mit Essensmarken versorgt. Durchschnittlich 44 Millionen US-Bürger hätten im vergangenen Jahr Leistungen aus dem "Snap"-Programm erhalten. Details der Änderungen seien aber noch nicht bekannt.

WH Trying To Block Ethics Office From Seeing Former Lobbyists Hired By Admin
The White House is trying to keep the Office of Government Ethics from viewing documents detailing which former lobbyists have been hired by the Trump administration for positions in the federal government, the New York Times reported Monday morning.

“It is an extraordinary thing,” he said. “I have never seen anything like it.”

An executive order signed by President Trump bars lobbyists from working in the federal government on issues pertaining to their former clients for two years, but allows the administration to issue waivers. Shaub was requesting copies of these waivers, per the Times.

Trump Turns Politically Correct in Saudi Arabia
The president says wildly offensive things when the objects of his derision aren’t around, but crumples when he actually meets them.

Donald Trump appears to have envisioned his speech on Sunday in Riyadh as an answer to Barack Obama’s 2009 address in Cairo. And reading the two side by side is illuminating. The speeches differ in many ways, but none more striking than this: Trump’s speech was far more politically correct.

Es ist schon lange kein Geheimnis mehr, dass nicht nur das wahabitische Königreich von US-Gnaden, sondern eben auch Israel islamistische Terroristen unterstützen, wenn es nur gegen den pösen Iran und die Schiiten geht, unter anderem sogar den "IS", dem von Washington ganz zurecht erklärten Staatsfeind Nr. 1, den es auch laut Trump zu vernichten gilt ...

Aber "Donald of Arabia" ist das völlig egal, solange er viele "hübsche Waffen" verkaufen kann - auch an größenwahnsinnige fundamentalistische Kriegsverbrecher-Staaten, zu denen selbst Israel keine diplomatischen Beziehungen unterhält, und deren feudalistisches, auf Mammon basiertes mittelalterliches Regime instabil wie ein Kartenhaus ist ... :-)

Die USA haben mit dem Embargo gegen den Iran Dubai künstlich stark gemacht, das gemeinsame Gasquellen mit dem Iran hat, der wiederum nichts mehr damit anfangen konnte.

Insofern ist es nur politisch konsequent, wenn nun Trump den Krieg gegen den Iran mit seiner symbolträchtigen ersten Auslandsreise bei Irans Erbfeind Saudi-Arabien beginnt und dort milliardenschwere Bombendeals abschließt.
