News Flash!
Donald Trump is billing the Trump for President Campaign for the use of the Trump airline, facilities, food and beverages and his properties including his golf courses. Well, just another scheme for trump to make money. And his contributions to his campaign are loans. So this venture is not costing Trump a cent personally (other than his $45,000 direct contribution) and he is set to make money.

Interesting Hypothesis
Paul Manafort is now in charge of Trump's Presidential campaign. Manafort is a lobbyist who worked for the former Ukrainian president, an ally of Russian Premier Putin. The same Putin who has annexed parts of Ukraine into Russia.
Trump as been talking very positively about Putin in Trump's own speeches. Now, why would Trump do that? Certainly not because Russia is an ally in good standing with the USA nor because his view of Putin is consistent with either major political party nor the American government.
Why would Trump want to cultivate Putin? Certainly not for the USA. But maybe for Trump himself. Wouldn't Trump like to have opportunities to extend his real estate empire into Russia?
Hmmmmmmmmmm

Report from Daily Kos - speaks for itself
It’s old news, but there’s so much in his past, it’s easy for things we should remember to get buried. Here’s something that shouldn’t be forgotten, an article from Vanity Fair.
But this time, I am unashamed to be terrified by Trump. I will do everything possible for me to do to defeat him.
I hope to encourage all to do the same.
Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. . .From the same article
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”
Donald is a believer in the big-lie theory,” his lawyer had told me. “If you say something again and again, people will believe you.”I came to post this diary after reading Leonard Pitts Jr's column “If it talks like a Hitler and walks like a Hitler …” The goals are clearly not the same: Trump is not at all likely to try to exterminate Jews, Gypsies, LGBTQ people, etc. But the methods are the all too similar, and the outcome potentially catastrophic. Pitts quotes several holocaust survivors who see this similarity. He ends with a very acute statement:
You can’t blame people who didn’t realize what Hitler was. They had never seen anything like him before.I can’t aspire to the term “activist.” My political involvement is limited: donations, some phonebanking in the past 3 presidential elections, door to door for Kerry in Florida and New Mexico (The only year I had time to travel as I worked very, very part time in 2004).
You and I, however, have no such excuse.
But this time, I am unashamed to be terrified by Trump. I will do everything possible for me to do to defeat him.
I hope to encourage all to do the same.

WOWEE !!!
Speaker Paul Ryan was just quoted as saying that he would sue Donald Trump, if, as President, Trump enacted a unilateral ban on Muslim immigration. Ryan added that based on a 1952 immigration act, he thinks Trump as President might actually be able to enact such a ban.
Five months away from the general election, the Republican House Speaker is already muttering about the possibility of impeaching the potential Republican President.
What more do I need to write?

The President and The New York Times Got It Right
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/14/opinion/what-donald-trump-gets-wrong-about-orlando.html?emc=edit_ty_20160614&nl=opinion&nlid=69672498&_r=0
Thank You, President Obama! The President has it right. He has fought terrorism for 7 1/2 years, including killing Bin Laden. and Trump has the audacity to imply that Obama is somehow in league with terrorists. And Trump has limited the free and independent press.
And the Republicans in Congress are literally, physically running away from reporters. Why? They are weak and unwilling to share their views of Donald Trump. Pathetic. And where is Trump's big supporter, Christie? Christie is no fool - suddenly his big mouth is quiet.
