Donald Trump Wouldn’t Want To Know What Jimmy Carter Would Do With His Policies
POLITICS 09/14/2018 06:41 am ET If he had his time in the White House again. By Lee Moran Former President Jimmy Carter clearly has no love or respect for the policies of President Donald Trump’s administration. In fact, Carter said he would change “all of” them if he had his time in the White House again, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “If I were foolish enough to feel I could be president again, I think the first thing I would do would be to change all of the policies that President Trump has initiated,” Carter told students at an Emory University event in Atlanta on Wednesday. “I pray for him (Trump) fairly regularly,” the 93-year-old added. “If he answered my prayers, he’d have to change a lot of things.” Carter warned Democrats on Tuesday about relying too heavily on independent and moderate candidates to defeat Trump.

Michael Moore’s crazy theory that Donald Trump will be the LAST president of the United States
FILMMAKER Michael Moore has reiterated his claims that Donald Trump will be the LAST president of the United States. The controversial documentary maker first made the bizarre theory in the trailer for his new film Fahrenheit 11/9 last month. And the left-wing activist stood by his bold comment during an interview with Chris Hayes on MSNBC yesterday. Hayes said: "You think that? Last president of the United States?" Moore responded: “I think it’s possible, absolutely. "I think that we have someone in the White House who has no respect for the rule of law, who dislikes democracy by an incredible degree, which doesn’t make him really any that much different from other billionaires or CEOs because their businesses are not democracies. "They rule by fiat, they decide, they make the calls, and they don't like having else having a say. "They also like to take home the bulk of the money with them. "So, putting somebody like that in charge of a democracy is a … [Read more...] about Michael Moore’s crazy theory that Donald Trump will be the LAST president of the United States
Donald Trump Offers Palestinians $5 Billion in Aid to Negotiate With Israel, Report Reveals
World International Affairs President Donald Trump’s administration offered Palestinians $5 billion in aid if they negotiate with Israel, according to a report by the Israeli business paper Globes. The offer was an attempt by the President’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner and his special envoy Jason Greenblatt to bring Palestinians back to the negotiating table, according to the report. The two men have been in charge of coming up with a Middle East peace plan that would find a solution to the longstanding dispute between Israelis and Palestinians. Greenblatt, however, denied the claim. "Myth: Globes "reporting" that POTUS is offering $5b to [Palestine] to return to the negotiating table," he tweeted.
