45th President of the United States, Donald Trump (Vol. 9)
Discussion
More unpaid bills...
Donald Trump’s campaign wants Omarosa Manigault Newman to pay up for penning an incriminating tell-all book about the president in 2018. But it’s the Trump campaign that hasn’t paid its bills.
The delinquent $52,000 payment — revealed in a previously unreported letter dated Oct. 14 and obtained by POLITICO — is just one example of how the Trump campaign is handling the flurry of legal actions it has taken to both protect the president and attack his enemies in the final weeks of the campaign.
In the action against Manigault Newman, the campaign may simply let the case dissolve. In 2018, the Trump campaign filed an arbitration case against the former West Wing aide over her book, which rocked the White House with stories of Trump using lewd, sexist and racist language. At one point, Trump’s attorneys suggested Newman pay for a nearly $1 million ad campaign “to counteract the long-term adverse effects” of her remarks.
Yet the campaign has thus far stiffed the arbitrator assigned to mediate the case, according to a letter sent to the parties in the case. If Trump’s attorneys don’t pay the outstanding bill by next week, the case could be tossed out.
The dispute over Manigault Newman’s book is far from the only legal thread left dangling for the Trump campaign.
The campaign is helping fight accusations Trump harassed and sexually assaulted women. It’s helping keep documents about his business deals hidden. Other cases are proactive, such as attempts to enforce nondisclosure agreements and to punish media companies the campaign accuses of defamation. And it is responding to lawsuits from people who say they were assaulted at Trump events, including one from a Missouri man who claimed he was arrested after laughing at a MAGA rally.

It’s not the first time Trump, a businessman with a global real estate footprint, and his campaign have faced accusations that they didn’t pay the bills.
Private contractors, bartenders, painters, real estate brokers and others have all claimed that Trump didn’t adequately compensate them for their work before he was sworn into office. More recently, Trump has been accused of failing to pay local officials who provide thousands of dollars’ in security assistance to the president’s campaign during rallies.

I'd be interested to know how many other UK MPs openly support Trump.

You'd think Biden would be more aligned with UK Conservatives and Trump a bit too far right (and embarrassing) for most to support wouldn't you?
More concerned with winding up 'the left' than in the state of Trump's health, possibly.https://twitter.com/andreajenkyns/status/131210799...

Biden Will Make America Lead Again
We need a president with decency and a sense of respect.
Ret. Adm. William McRaven: "Truth be told, I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative ... I voted for Joe Biden."
https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-will-make-ameri...
Since that is paywalled
Retired Adm. William McRaven, a former US Navy SEAL commander who served as the head of US Special Operations Command, wrote an op-ed article in The Wall Street Journal on Monday in which he said he voted for Joe Biden.
McRaven described himself as a "pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, small-government, strong-defense and a national-anthem-standing conservative" but said the US was no longer a country that set an example of democracy.
While McRaven aligned himself with those conservative ideals, he also said "we need a president for all Americans, not just half of America," adding: "I also believe that black lives matter, that the Dreamers deserve a path to citizenship, that diversity and inclusion are essential to our national success, that education is the great equalizer, that climate change is real and that the First Amendment is the cornerstone of our democracy."

Even if he did continue the law suit if its anything like 99% of his others he wont win. He just filed it at the time the book came out for show and to try and cast some doubt on it. He must have hundreds of law suits against him i am sure he will let a majority 'time out' or equivalentDonald Trump’s campaign wants Omarosa Manigault Newman to pay up for penning an incriminating tell-all book about the president in 2018.

After all this time with Trump as the President, the one thing i genuinly can't understand is why any woman would support him in anyway? I mean, does one have to be actually raped or sexually assaulted in order to understand that ANY encouragement of men to treat women like objects and to boast about how they assault them, is reversing years of hard work and education in granting women equal rights as men?https://twitter.com/andreajenkyns/status/131210799...

I'm far from any kind of feminist, but surely, a woman should be also to see what they are encouraging no????
Post-ABC poll: Trump and Biden are in a dead heat in North Carolina
President Trump and former vice president Joe Biden are running in a dead heat in North Carolina, with the economy buoying the president’s candidacy and the coronavirus pandemic boosting his challenger in one of the key electoral targets in November, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The poll finds Biden at 49 percent and Trump at 48 percent among likely voters, with two third-party candidates — Libertarian nominee Jo Jorgensen and Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins — accounting for just 1 percent of the vote. among registered voters, Biden is at 48 percent, Trump at 46 percent and the third-party candidates a combined 3 percent.
North Carolina is one of two Southern battlegrounds, along with Florida, that the president won in 2016 and that are crucial to his efforts to secure an electoral college majority in two weeks. Four years ago, he won North Carolina by four percentage points, and without its 15 electoral votes this year, his path to victory would become significantly more difficult.

It's amazing when the CEO of a major company has to tell the world that trump never called him...
ExxonMobil
@exxonmobil
We are aware of the President’s statement regarding a hypothetical call with our CEO…and just so we’re all clear, it never happened.
Yeah but, no but his emails!ExxonMobil

Amazing!
I also think the non-political criticism of Trump may be a failing strategy.
On the flip side I don’t think Trump has got the simple message he did last time to rely on. He has had to defend his own record this time and hasn’t done a great job.
The momentum from the last debate has ebbed and Trumps recovery will play well IMO.
If the Ghislaine Maxwell testimony is released soon that could be extremely bad news for Trump.

In 2016 there were 250m of voting age, with a 55% turnout, around 138m voted. I expect more this time as trump seems to have engaged people to vote, hopefully against him
The Ghislaine Maxwell testimony and any other dirt now may now come too late to have any effect as many rush to get their vote in early
Apparently republicans are more inclined to vote in person and later

Somewhat optimistic poll puts Biden ahead in Texas. https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-narrowly-leads-...
Has to be said that this is relying on which way the responders lean. If going by voter intention they reckon Trump has a 2 point lead.
USA Today endorses Biden, based on Trump's unsuitability for the role https://www.axios.com/usa-today-endorsement-joe-bi...
More here on Steele's endorsement too https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/521789-ex-rn...
