At 1:48 pm this afternoon, reporters were suddenly summoned to the Oval Office with almost no notice. The president’s schedule had listed no media events, catching the White House press corps off guard on this very muggy day in Washington, D.C. When they were ushered inside, it quickly became clear that the White House had been preparing for this event, even if the press had not. Surrounding the back and side of the president were 15 men, mostly travel executives, all in deep blue and black suits, the president’s preferred uniform for the men who are allowed to be near him. Their places were strategically chosen to give the illusion of strength and authority to Donald Trump as he struggled to read page after page of prepared remarks. “On 11 separate days, more than three million travelers flowed through the American flies, they, they, uh … American skies were loaded up with planes.”
Donald Trump’s press office said the event was, “to celebrate the accomplishments that produced a historic summer travel season and delivered a strong boost to our local economies and small businesses,” even as the actual numbers showed an industry struggling under the weight of declining international tourism and billions of dollars in lost visitor spending as international visitors increasingly choose to avoid the United States for fear of being detained, denied entry, or caught up in Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown at the border. Others simply refuse to spend their money in a country whose president and policies they no longer want to support.
When the nightmare ends (and it will end), and we start to rebuild our precious democracy, Nuremberg-like trials like those held after WWII should be set up, and the Stephen Millers and the other toadies who sold their souls to Trump (and sold out our democracy) should be hauled before a court of justice and made to answer for their crimes against democracy. I just hope I live long enough to witness justice administered to those who are intent on destroying our way of life.
The healing may begin but the wounds are deep and the scars are forever. See: American Civil War. The real revolution will be rich vs poor, but who has the will? And who will not take the money when offered, even the pittance the rich throw down to the masses who scramble for their share. WE NEED A HERO. IS SHE OUT THERE?
Thanks again for this very important message!! I have sent it to our Prime Minister in The Netherlands Rob Jetten. I certainly hope he will read it thoroughly.
Again, you’re reminding us that Trump depends on lies. He lies to himself, he lies to our allies, he lies to all of us. Day after day.
The only way to defeat him is turnout, turnout, turnout. Urge every person hurt by Trump’s policies to vote — and that’s an overwhelming majority of us. Turnout defeats lies.
Turnout, turnout, turnout! Defeat the lies with your votes!
Turnout IN PERSON if able. I'm in NH...one of the state that refused to hand over voter registration rolls. All the more important to vote in person than mail in.
exactly! Putin has had a kompromat on Trump for years, and uses it as leverage to force Trump to do his bidding! Trump can't buy or order his way out of this! He knows he is trapped!
The world is holding its collective breath for what's to come.
Except for the small number who are filling their pockets from the tension that it creates.
Almost everyone is hoping that it doesn't end in a cataclysmic war, but i remain uncharacteristically optimistic. I've never been more hopeful of a peaceful election.
"Almost everyone." Who is looking forward to a nuclear bomb dropping on Iran? Even the Dr. Strangeloves among us must realize the destruction, the payback and the future under the mushroom cloud will be ... unpleasant. Well, maybe not for those men who own their own island, planes and bomb shelters filled with ten years of supplies. For them perhaps an inconvenience.
An excellent essay on the state of our nation’s relations with our allies and trump’s obsession with Putin. Thank you for sharing these thoughtful comments.
So once again all the stolen top secret documents hoarded at Miralago were sold to or worse yet simply shared with Putin and he’s using them
Now to aid Iran . Bibi also had access but the real truth is the kompramat they both have collected on 47 . Since hes not held back on his disgusting proclivities “ grab them by the pussy” I have to say my mind cannot imagine the info have . It’s the Epstein war , the upcoming Epstein election grab and a “ pee tape “ would not worry this rotting corpse of a president ! Let’s face it his final step before this election if all else fails is the Epstein nuclear bomb on Iran . His teeny tiny make up covered fingers are itching to press that button before he dies so his name will go down in infamy ! It’s his world and if he can’t can’t have it no one will. I’m sure the Golden Arches and a decades worth of Big Macs will be installed in his ballroom / bunker.
Everything this Nazi, fascist, eugenics, sociopathic regime does is in the name of the pedophile, rapist, criminal, MADMAN with accelerating Dementia and the NUCLEAR CODES, Russia, The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025…the RepubliKKKans and Six Corrupt SCOTUS are responsible for where we are.
Jan.6., 2021 trump’s Treasonous Insurrection should’ve been the end of him…but RepubliKKKans (and Dems) showed us exactly who they are. They are the ones with the power to stop all this…not just the power, But The Constitution, his illegal acts, INTERNATIONAL “War” Crimes, convicted felon, money launderer, rapist, pedophile, etc…they have failed on EVERY level and are bringing us to a Civil War-Second Revolution and hopefully NOT, WW3.
The trolley problem is sitting in front of us ALL now, but especially those whose actually oath and responsibility is to stop this crazy MF.
His little stubby fingers are twitching for a Nuclear World War…he thinks he is in a video game, the same as KegsDeath.
They must be stopped.

Scared beyond words . Screaming into the abyss as people are calmly going about their lives like Germany in the early 1930s or thinking the midterms will save us ! God help us
I feel like you just validated me AND gave me a big hug!! I am 64, in a nursing facility and I made sure my mail in ballot was all set. Now I am paranoid I won't get it. I'm glad I am not the only one thinking that way.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. We elected Trump not once, but twice. You ask our allies to be patient, to know that this is not who we are (yes it is), to believe that all of this will turn around. I’m not sure it will. Tyranny for the weak is very enticing.
Your columns and videos are always so detailed and informative. And I so appreciate your final comment about hope for America. It's hard to keep hope alive sometimes. I loved your story about the strawberries and your childhood neighbor. It made me cry.
I so appreciate the highlighting of the courage of the whistleblower. My goodness the depth of collusion is staggering! I hope that blumenthal gets this debacle sorted soon. Meanwhile, as was just stated by Tarant County citizen, plan to show up to vote REGARDLESS of the DJT regime conniving chaos! Thanks Heather
It's a simple reason why none of these reporters ask any of these tough questions. Press credentials come with prestige. Access to the president comes with prestige. That prestige is important. It is important in Washington, and it is important in general. To these reporters, that access is more important than doing the work the access exists to facilitate. Everyone is selfish. Everyone! Reporters are no exception. And they also know if one reporter leaves in protest or gets excluded in retaliation, no others would support that reporter, and dozens of others would be eager to take their place, all for the lanyard around their neck and the grabbing rights about access that lanyard gives them. Shameful.
I know what I need to do when God calls me to do it. I just don't know when that time is. I trust it will be revealed to me: Thank you Heather for making my mission on earth much easier to see. There is an inherent evil that has permeated and infiltrated our country. That evil is "the Father of Lies." John 8:44.

I feel exactly the same way, James. I don’t want to miss out on the healing that has to happen when the Trump regime is gone.
The healing may begin but the wounds are deep and the scars are forever. See: American Civil War. The real revolution will be rich vs poor, but who has the will? And who will not take the money when offered, even the pittance the rich throw down to the masses who scramble for their share. WE NEED A HERO. IS SHE OUT THERE?

and help anyone who needs to get their vote counted
Once again Trump behaves exactly as you would expect a Russian asset to behave.
exactly! Putin has had a kompromat on Trump for years, and uses it as leverage to force Trump to do his bidding! Trump can't buy or order his way out of this! He knows he is trapped!
And how does Trump expect to defeat Iran when his own master is helping our enemy?
Meanwhile countries are pulling their gold out of the US because they fear it’s no longer safe here..
Trump is having an end of summer barbecue in the Rose Garden serving foreign beef..
charging Republican candidates 25k to go to his “convention “ in Texas before the midterms …
and the world lost another QUEEN…the supreme warrior Gloria Steinem passed away yesterday at age 92.
Rest in eternal peace Ms Steinem and we’ll follow your lead and PERSIST in our cause to rid our nation of this dangerous regime.
