Trump News: Latest updates as president apologize to AOC and Omar

Hello and welcome to L & # 39; IndependentSlippery cover of the Donald Trump administration.

Despite boasting of a 94 percent approval rate among Republicans, Donald Trump finds himself behind the challengers Democratic 2020 Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in a new poll for NBC News / Wall Street Journal.

The latest poll on US voting intentions gave Biden 51 percent and Trump 42 percent.

A match between Senator Sanders of Vermont and the president finds Bernie at 50% and Trump at 43%.

Mbadachusetts Senator Warren, whose stock has skyrocketed since she excelled in the Democratic Party's first debate in Miami last month, is expected to beat Trump by 48 to 43 percent.

Senator from California Kamala Harris, which also benefited from a significant boost in debate, would also beat Trump, albeit much narrower, from 45% to 44%.

The president begins the week in a debate on racism after attempting to exploit divisions within the opposition by telling progressive young women at the congress, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar "Go back and help repair the totally devastated and crime-plagued places they came from".

The president was trying to capitalize on a rumbling feud between last week Nancy PelosI nicknamed it "The Squad", composed of AOC, Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley – that Pelosi called in an interview for his frank use of social media.

AOC had fought back at Pelosi in a Washington Post interview, observing that the speaker had criticized four women of color for criticizing them – a line of attack that the president noted and magnified.

Which was not only appalling but also extremely hypocritical given that his own wife, Melania Trump, was born in Slovenia and his own grandfather, Friedrich Drumpf, Was a migrant from Germany. Of the four Congressional women targeted by the president, only Omar was born outside the United States.

When Trump's tweets were greeted with yells of condemnation – many citing his long history of racist rhetoric against Mexicans and Muslims and his support for white nationalists in Charlottesville – he chose to dub rather than apologize , alluding to Omar's attack against Israel's influence lobbyists in Washington to imply that the party is anti-Israel, an inflammatory line that he repeated loudly in the past.

Fox's reaction to all this was interesting.

Fox and friends tried to laugh like a joke, saying "someone is in a very comical mood today," before reminding AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley, with breathtaking audacity : "It's real life, it's not social media – have fun and try to annoy people – it's real life, the words you say have consequences in real life. "

But the pundit Fox Geraldo Rivera was one of the few conservative voices to challenge the president so far.

Also on social media, Trump criticized the Vice President's coverage by the press Mike PenceThe latter's visit to a border detention center in McAllen, Texas on Friday said the facility in question was "well-managed and clean."

Pence himself had been badociated with a rare attack on "fake media" by calling CNN's cover on his trip.

Sequences such as this one, however, show the opposite and critics quickly questioned Pence's Christian compbadion in front of such scenes.

The treatment of migrants by the administration continued during the weekend as agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began carrying out mbad deportation raids in the country. nine cities.

Mayor of New York City Bill of Blasio said agents had entered Saturday in parts of Brooklyn and Harlem, while reports of scared families, who stocked food and hid inside, emerged.

In Los Angeles, churches in the city have become sanctuaries for migrant families. In Chicago, a "bike patrol" of 65 aldermen and activists is present to monitor the situation and ensure that people facing ICE know their rights access to a lawyer.

Emma Snaith has this on Trump's response to the fury that her latest Twitter bomb caused.

It's interesting.

Tim Wyatt has more.

Here is a little more of the outraged reaction to the president's racist tweets.

"The fact that enslaved Americans belonging to my ancestors are denied freedom, the right to collect wealth, whole civil rights in America after slavery also has long-term repercussions for them and their descendants" , wrote O & # 39; Rourke in an article on Medium.

"I benefit from a system that my ancestors built to favor themselves at the expense of others.

"We all need to know our own history with respect to national history, just as I learn mine, it is only at that time, I think, that we will be able to take the necessary measures to repair the damage caused and to stop visiting this injustice the generations that follow ours "

Here is Donald's latest opus, which seems to have finally completely lost the plot.

This was preceded by a bragging about the impact of its tariffs on the Chinese economy, including the vague badertion that "thousands of companies are leaving".

These are opportune things from Warren, more and more impressive.

Sure Joe in the morning, they wonder "how is this possible", majority leader in the Senate Mitch McConnell can say "no comment" when asked about Trump's tweets.

Here is more about the president, losing touch with reality by describing "the rude language and racist hate thrown up by the mouth and the actions of these very unpopular and unrepresentative Congress women."
