Don the Con: General Motors said Monday it will close five factories and lay off nearly 15,000 workers in a move that shows the economy may be starting to slow and dents President Trump’s claim to be leading a renaissance for industrial America. In 2016, he won four states with significant ties to the auto industry: Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. They provided nearly a quarter of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. “They’re all coming back. They’re all coming back. Don’t move, don’t sell your house,” the president said during a July 2017 visit to Youngstown, Ohio. “We’re going to fill up those factories or rip them down and build new ones.” During an October 2016 campaign rally in Warren, Mich., site of one of the targeted transmission plants, Trump promised: “If I’m elected, you won’t lose one plant, you’ll have plants coming into this country, you’re going to have jobs again, you won’t lose one plant, I promise you that.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/gm-layoffs-and-plant-shutdowns-suggest-us-economy-may-be-starting-to-slow--and-dent-trumps-claim-of-an-industrial-renaissance/2018/11/26/39533566-f1ba-11e8-80d0-f7e1948d55f4_story.html

There's some actual economic anxiety now.

No logical reason for our country to cover for this guy... Of course there is - because it's in Trump's economic interest to do so. Nothing else matters.

Don the Con continues to lie to the American public while we find out from Russia that his meeting with his handler has, in fact, been scheduled. (Also, what exactly does Putin have on McConnell?). Raise your hand if you still support his agenda. MOSCOW — The Kremlin said Thursday that Washington has confirmed a one-on-one meeting between President Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at noon on Dec. 1 at the Group of 20 summit in Argentina. Trump had previously cast the Buenos Aires sit-down into doubt, telling The Washington Post he might cancel seeing Putin after Russia seized Ukrainian vessels and crew members over the weekend, sparking global condemnation and a sharp escalation in tensions between the neighbors. www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/kremlin-says-trump-putin-have-agreed-to-meet-at-g-20-summit-on-saturday/2018/11/29/610aba8e-f3bd-11e8-bc79-68604ed88993_story.html

More of "the best people". Trump's current Labor Secretary and potential AG pick: And when the white-hot rage unleashed by the three-part series subsides — somewhat — this much is clear: Alexander Acosta, who was the federal prosecutor for the Southern District of Florida at the time, is not fit to serve as attorney general of the United States. Acosta is said to be among those being considered to replace recently fired Jeff Sessions. But anyone reading the Herald’s investigations will see how Acosta’s shameful actions deem him far from qualified to be the highest law-enforcement officer in the land. Even as labor secretary, he is ethically compromised. www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article222348455.htmlwww.miamiherald.com/news/local/article220097825.html

"I alone can fix it." Okay, Chickenhawk-in-Chief, are you going to "fix it"? The Department of Veterans Affairs told congressional staffers on Wednesday that it will not repay veterans who received smaller GI Bill benefit payments than they were owed, NBC News reported. Committee aides told the outlet that the VA said it could not reimburse those veterans without auditing past education claims, which, they said, would hold up future claims. The report comes weeks after computer problems delayed GI Bill payments to hundreds of thousands of veterans. thehill.com/homenews/administration/418835-veterans-affairs-dept-wont-repay-vets-who-were-underpaid-gi-bill

Chickenhawk-in-Chief Trump cancels summit with Putin - WEAK!
Should have kept to summit and challenge Putin on Ukraine to his face but Trump is not strong enough to do it. He is a coward.

Anything that keeps Trump out of the same room with Putin is a good thing. Yes, absolutely agree. All we're missing out on is seeing Putin pull Trump's strings for another hour. Trump = James and Bobby Purify. If this meeting were to occur, Trump upon exiting would only say that everything is great in the Ukraine, because Putin said so and Trump believes him. We've already seen that act, there's no need to see it again.

We've already seen that act, there's no need to see it again. I think it goes beyond just the talking points. I'm sure he probably has a ton of backchannels to Putin, but keeping him out of a bug-swept face to face direct meeting without anyone else in the room has to be a win.

What do Acting AG Whitaker and Don the Con have in common? Both were frontmen for fraudulent enterprises that paid $25 million in fines.
