Carol,
You were one of the critical Americans who helped change the course of American history when my father was voted into office last November.
But now more than a year has gone by, and as the media’s attacks become increasingly nasty, the President needs to know – are you still on Team Trump?
Before 2017 comes to an end, my father is hoping to have your name in the books as a Sustaining Member of our movement to Make America Great Again!
Please contribute $1 to renew your Sustaining Membership for the 2017 year.
Please contribute $1 to renew your Sustaining Membership for the 2017 year.
Thank you,
Eric Trump

Acts to take down health care access
October 14th, 2017
As we celebrate “National Character Counts Week” declared by our Twit-in-Chief:
President Donald J. Trump Proclaims October 15 through October 21, 2017, as National Character Counts Week
… here’s the latest example from the guy who wouldn’t know character if it bit him in the ass, which it does regularly:
Presidential Executive Order Promoting Healthcare Choice and Competition Across the United States
Right… “promoting healthcare choice and competition.”
In today’s STrib:
Minn. joins suit against Trump’s halt to health insurance subsidies
There will be a comment period, so might as well start commenting NOW:
GET IN TOUCH WITH THE WHITE HOUSE
Tell tRump what you think, in technicolor.
Get ahold of Congress too, let them know what you think about this abuse of power through yanking dollars:
U.S. Senate: Senators of the 115th Congress
Find Your Representative · House.gov
Here’s an example of missing the point entirely:
Hmmmmmmmm, this is about health “insurance” and I don’t see anything about “health care.” As usual, Trump is not noting the distinction! The points above are about problems with the health insurance industry.
Once more with feeling, we want HEALTH CARE and not HEALTH INSURANCE. The issue above about cost of premiums going up, and that’s the insurance companies, and the complaint is about “only one insurer.” When are we going to get insurance companies out of the mix? DOH!
Trump’s latest Executive Order travel ban
September 27th, 2017
Here it is, published in the Federal Register today:
Enhancing Vetting Capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry Into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats
tRump claims that:
…the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, has determined that a small number of countries—out of nearly 200 evaluated—remain deficient at this time with respect to their identity-management and information-sharing capabilities, protocols, and practices. In some cases, these countries also have a significant terrorist presence within their territory.
Oh?!?! Yes, he says, “Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen” plus Somalia.
Where does he get these ideas? How is this anything but WRONG!
Here we go with another round of lawsuits…
Protesters attacked by white supremacist… again
August 13th, 2017
Remember the assault by car in Minneapolis against Black Lives Matters protesters, the one where initially the police claimed the driver was the victim, and some media outlets reported it in that framing despite the readily available helicopter video of the entire incident!?!?!
What the hell is wrong with people?
And white nationalist Scarcella’s shooting of Black Lives Matter protesters in Minneapolis?
15 years in prison for gunman who shot 5 Jamar Clark protesters
And…
2 sentenced for aiding man who shot Black Lives Matter protesters at Fourth Precinct
Now it’s happened again, in Charlottesville, VA, and with much more horrific consequences. One person has died, 20 plus injured:
Man charged with murder for allegedly plowing into crowd
One dead as car strikes crowds amid protests of white nationalist gathering in Charlottesville; two police die in helicopter crash
Mayor Singer of Charlottesville made an impassioned speech urging the white nationalists, neo-Nazis to go home, and drawing the connection to the vitriolic Trump campaign that worked to normalize white nationalism and hate:
Charlottesville mayor on Trump: ‘Look at the campaign he ran’ – KIFI
“Look at the intentional courting both, on the one hand, of all these white supremacists, white nationalist groups like that, anti-Semitic groups,” Signer said. “And then look on the other hand, the repeated failure to step up, condemn, denounce, silence, you know, put to bed all those different efforts.”
However, Signer said the country would move ahead, and the problems went beyond what he saw in Trump.
“To be honest, this is not about Donald Trump,” Signer said, adding that the violence from white supremacists demonstrated that the country’s core democratic principles were eroding, but people had an opportunity to change for the better.
“People will react to the darkness with a whole lot more light,” he said.
tRump’s response missed the mark:
“… hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides…” WHAT? Yet again, it’s white nationalists, and this is his statement? tRump who encouraged violence at his campaign rallies, who welcomed Steve Bannon into his administration, who encouraged white nationalists, and who enjoyed the support of the likes of David Duke.
Charlottesville: Trump criticised over response to far-right
Speaking of David Duke, the voice of the KKK:

From a white supremacist’s family:
Letter: Family denounces Tefft’s racist rhetoric and actions
My name is Pearce Tefft, and I am writing to all, with regards to my youngest son, Peter Tefft, an avowed white nationalist who has been featured in a number of local news stories over the last several months.
On Friday night, my son traveled to Charlottesville, Va., and was interviewed by a national news outlet while marching with reported white nationalists, who allegedly went on to kill a person.
I, along with all of his siblings and his entire family, wish to loudly repudiate my son’s vile, hateful and racist rhetoric and actions. We do not know specifically where he learned these beliefs. He did not learn them at home.
I have shared my home and hearth with friends and acquaintances of every race, gender and creed. I have taught all of my children that all men and women are created equal. That we must love each other all the same.
Evidently Peter has chosen to unlearn these lessons, much to my and his family’s heartbreak and distress. We have been silent up until now, but now we see that this was a mistake. It was the silence of good people that allowed the Nazis to flourish the first time around, and it is the silence of good people that is allowing them to flourish now.
Peter Tefft, my son, is not welcome at our family gatherings any longer. I pray my prodigal son will renounce his hateful beliefs and return home. Then and only then will I lay out the feast.
His hateful opinions are bringing hateful rhetoric to his siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews as well as his parents. Why must we be guilty by association? Again, none of his beliefs were learned at home. We do not, never have, and never will, accept his twisted worldview.
He once joked, “The thing about us fascists is, it’s not that we don’t believe in freedom of speech. You can say whatever you want. We’ll just throw you in an oven.”
Peter, you will have to shovel our bodies into the oven, too. Please son, renounce the hate, accept and love all.
Tefft lives in Fargo.
