Global approval of US leadership plunges into toilet under Donny

Should be sobering to any serious members of GOP, if there are any left.

It will take a lot of good will and another president to restore our global status.

One of the posts on Yelp regarding Trump hotels after his Shithole comment.
I don't know how much weight Yelp carries (I find them too subjective to be of any use) but what the heck, whomever can pile on the POS is fine with me.

'What a total 's***hole': Yelp users trash Trump hotels with vicious ratings including word president used to describe Haiti

"WASHINGTON — Nearly a year after President Trump’s inauguration, the committee that raised a record $106.7 million for the event has not disclosed how much surplus money it still has or provided a final accounting of its finances.

“We must decline comment at this time,” Kristin Celauro, a spokeswoman for the inaugural committee’s chairman, Thomas Barrack, said this week in response to a USA TODAY inquiry about the committee’s finances.
Barrack, a California investment manager and longtime Trump friend, has said consistently that remaining funds would go charity. He announced plans in September to give $3 million to three non-profit groups —The American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and Samaritan’s Purse — to help with hurricane relief efforts and said the committee planned more contributions “that serve America’s agenda.”

Officials with the American Red Cross and Samaritan’s Purse, a group led by evangelist Franklin Graham, declined to comment this week about the inaugural committee donations, saying they do not disclose contributor information. Officials with the Salvation Army did not immediately respond to an inquiry.

Presidential inaugural committees are private fundraising vehicles that pay for the concerts, balls and other festivities that surround the swearing-in. Trump’s committee raised twice the $53.2 million President Obama collected for his first inauguration.

The record haul was fueled by big checks from individuals and companies — some with interests before the government. Casino magnate Sheldon Adelson was the single largest donor, contributing $5 million, Federal Election Commission records show. The billionaire joined dignitaries on the West Front of the Capitol for a prime viewing of Trump's swearing-in.
Adelson was among an array of wealthy individuals and corporate giants contributing to the celebrations, including the Bank of America, AT&T, Dow Chemical, Boeing and Quicken Loans.

While the committee must report names of donors who give at least $200, election law does not require an accounting of the spending. And there are few restrictions on how leftover funds are used.

Bannon said that Trump paid off a hundred women to stay quiet about his dalliances. Meanwhile,

President Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly used a private company and a pseudonym to get money to an adult film star who allegedly had an affair with the president in 2006.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Cohen used Essential Consultants LLC to send a lawyer representing the actress who calls herself Stormy Daniels $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement concerning her relationships with Trump, who has been married to first lady Melania Trump since 2005. Cohen represented the Trump Organization at the time.

In making the transaction, both Cohen and Daniels's lawyers used pseudonyms, according to the Journal. The deal allegedly occurred in October 2016, just weeks before voters headed to the polls.

Does anyone really doubt Dirty Don had an affair with this porn star? Her and a hundred others. Sounds exactly like what the disgusting ass would do.

I do not doubt he had affairs.... but I really do not care.
I am more worried about him just doing his job.

Sources close to GOP Congressional leadership on Trump's White House:

“This has to be the most feckless bunch of boobs I’ve ever encountered.”
