Trump’s Florida rally includes cursing and claims people want to change the name of Thanksgiving

Trump's Florida rally includes cursing and claims people want to change the name of ThanksgivingPresident Trump had a lot to say during his rally in Sunrise, Florida, Tuesday night.Over the course of about 90 minutes, Trump spent a considerable amount of time railing against Democrats and the House impeachment inquiry. They are “maniacs” pushing a “deranged” narrative, Trump said, adding that Democrats just want to “rip our nation apart.” Ignoring polls that show otherwise, Trump claimed that he “won these last two weeks so solidly,” and people are saying the whole impeachment matter is “really bulls–t.”Trump brought up his health, and rumors that surrounded his unannounced visit to Walter Reed Medical Center, declaring that if he “didn’t feel great” he “wouldn’t be ranting and raving” at a rally. Fresh off of his pardon of two turkeys named Bread and Butter, Trump also made the odd claim that there are people in this world who “don’t want to use the name Thanksgiving. And that was true also with Christmas, but now everyone is using Christmas again.”He made sure to turn on the charm for his Florida supporters, telling them they are the “super elite” and “successful as hell. You’re smarter. You’re better looking. You’re sharper.” In September, Trump officially changed his primary residence from Manhattan to Palm Beach, Florida, and he said he was looking forward to voting in the Sunshine State. “Together, we will win back the House, we will hold the Senate, and we will keep that beautiful, beautiful White House,” Trump declared.More stories from theweek.com U.N. report: Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically to avoid climate crisis Melania Trump booed throughout speech at Baltimore youth summit Trump wonders why the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage wasn’t celebrated ‘a long time ago’

U.N. report: Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically to avoid climate crisis

U.N. report: Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically to avoid climate crisisIn order to avoid a climate catastrophe, global greenhouse gas emissions must drop by 7.6 percent every year for the next decade, a new United Nations report warns.”Our collective failure to act early and hard on climate change means we must now deliver deep cuts to emissions,” U.N. Environment Program Executive Director Inger Anderson said. “This shows that countries simply cannot wait.” More and more areas of the world are already experiencing stronger hurricanes and heatwaves, and if global temperatures stay on track to rising by as much as 7 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, the oceans would become more acidic and rising seas would threaten coastal cities.President Trump has rolled back many climate regulations, and after a few years of decline, the United States’ CO2 emissions rose 2.7 percent in 2018.More stories from theweek.com Fox News guest: ‘Why the hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here’ Report: Trump was aware of whistleblower complaint when he released Ukraine aid Trump wonders why the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage wasn’t celebrated ‘a long time ago’

Report: Trump was aware of whistleblower complaint when he released Ukraine aid

Report: Trump was aware of whistleblower complaint when he released Ukraine aidPresident Trump knew about the whistleblower complaint filed in response to his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky when he released military aid to Ukraine in September, two people with knowledge of the matter told The New York Times. Trump learned about the complaint in late August, when lawyers from the White House counsel’s office told him they were trying to figure out if they were under legal obligation to turn it over to Congress, the Times reports. Trump’s decision to hold nearly $400 million in military aid for Ukraine has become a central focus of the House impeachment inquiry against him. Witnesses have testified that Trump froze the aid over the summer when he was trying to pressure Ukraine into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.During a July 25 phone call, Trump asked Zelensky to launch probes into the Bidens and an unfounded conspiracy theory that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 presidential election. This conversation concerned the whistleblower, and they filed a complaint. The inspector general for the intelligence community determined that the whistleblower’s complaint should be sent to Congress, but White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, John Eisenberg, concluded otherwise, saying it was protected by executive privilege.
