POLITICO Playbook: Trump’s two political crises

By ANNA PALMER and JAKE SHERMAN

Presented by

DRIVING THE DAY

WASHINGTON IS TYPICALLY a bit sleepy in August. But the month has been jolted by a pair of crises: an escalating trade war with China, which shaved 3% off the Dow on Monday, and two mass shootings, which once again, depending on your politics, either highlighted inaction by the federal government or put on display one of the most nettlesome and unsolvable problems in American society.

THERE WILL BE MANY PEOPLE WHO SAY legislators and politicians should avoid politicizing serious domestic and global affairs. Of course, that’s precisely what will happen. The week’s momentous events give Democrats fresh reasons to say this: If you don’t like this — wild fluctuations in the market due to trade policy, or inaction on guns — kick President DONALD TRUMP out of the White House.

THE PRESIDENT IN HIDING? … TRUMP has no public events scheduled today.

— EL PASO TIMES: “What we know about President Trump’s planned visit”: “President Donald Trump will visit both El Paso and Dayton, Ohio Wednesday following two mass shootings, according to the Associated Press. … [T]rump is most likely to visit victims of those injured in the shooting, several of whom are being treated at Del Sol Medical Center and University Medical Center.”

— THE NEW YORKER’S CHARLES BETHEA: “‘All Three Spoke Spanish. All Three Were Americans’: A Pediatrician Describes Treating El Paso’s Shooting Victims”

IF YOU PUT THEM ON TRUTH SERUM … The following things are true about both parties’ gun positions:

— REPUBLICANS will say privately that they know they are on the wrong side of contemporary political thinking — and reality — when it comes to gun policy. Many of them will say off the record or on background that they could get away with supporting banning assault weapons, banning high-capacity magazines and tightening background checks. But they need Trump to embrace these ideas as well — and consistently. The president tends to pop his head up, support something and then retreat. More from Melanie Zanona, Marianne LeVine and Sarah Ferris on Republicans hiding behind Trump

REP. ADAM KINZINGER (R-Ill.) called for universal background checks, raising the gun-purchasing age to 21 and banning high-capacity magazines. The Medium post… OHIO GOV. MIKE DEWINE (R) is set to announce a policy proposal on guns later today, according to the AP.

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL said in a statement on Monday that Republicans in the Senate are “prepared to do our part” to “work in a bipartisan, bicameral way to address the recent mass murders which have shaken our nation.”

— MORE MCCONNELL: “Only serious, bipartisan, bicameral efforts will enable us to continue this important work and produce further legislation that can pass the Senate, pass the House, and earn the president’s signature. Partisan theatrics and campaign-trail rhetoric will only take us farther away from the progress all Americans deserve.”

— Some HOUSE DEMOCRATS want to come back into session to pass more gun legislation, but they worry about the politics of doing so. “We don’t want to let Mitch off the hook. Coming back would signal we haven’t done our job,” one House Democrat told us Monday. “We actually did. In the first 100 days. If he’s serious about this he will come back and pass a background check bill. We don’t want to give him moral equivalence.”

Speaker NANCY PELOSI and Senate Minority Leader CHUCK SCHUMER want to keep the pressure on Republicans and not muddy the message by pushing more legislation that is just going to die in the Senate.

— REALITY CHECK: Barring another tragedy, this weekend’s shootings could be all but forgotten as a political issue by the time Congress comes back in September.

MORE AFTERMATH FROM THE MASS SHOOTINGS…

BEHIND THE SCENES — “Trump explores executive action on guns,” by Gabby Orr: “President Donald Trump is exploring ways to use regulatory power and executive action to curb gun violence after a pair of deadly shootings over the weekend — a move driven by his aides’ belief that Congress is incapable of coalescing around consensus legislation in a heated 2020 election cycle.

“White House officials on Monday said Trump and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr are ‘resolved’ to take action after the shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. The administration is exploring solutions ‘that actually make an impact,’ as opposed to ‘things that feel good,’ said one Trump aide.” POLITICO

BLOOMBERG’S SAHIL KAPUR: “Republicans Fear ‘Extinction in the Suburbs’ Over Gun Control”

WAPO’S GREG MILLER: “Rise of far-right violence leads some to call for realignment of post-9/11 national security priorities”: “In the aftermath of a pair of attacks that left dozens dead or wounded in Texas and Ohio over the weekend, a roster of former high-ranking counterterrorism officials issued a statement Sunday saying that domestic terrorism should be treated ‘as high a priority as countering international terrorism has become since 9/11.’” WaPo

WHY YOUR 401(K) IS EMPTYING … CHINA UPDATE …

— WSJ ED BOARD: “President Trump claims trade wars are easy to win, but that boast looks worse than ever amid the financial carnage from his latest threat of tariffs on Chinese goods. His trade war has now become a currency war, which raises the potential economic harm to another level. …

“To Mr. Trump, all of this is part of his grand trade showdown with Chinese President Xi Jinping. He was furious last week when his negotiators returned from China without significant progress. So he slapped on new tariffs, which he thinks will impose more pain on China than on the U.S.

“But if the President believes adviser Peter Navarro’s counsel that the U.S. is immune from all this, markets are saying the opposite. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is now lower than it was in January 2018 when he began his game of China chicken, despite two years of strong corporate earnings. The uncertainty from tariffs has chopped U.S. GDP growth to 2% from 3%. Business investment is falling and global manufacturing is nearly in recession.

“Mr. Trump is punishing China all right. He’s also putting U.S. growth in jeopardy by unleashing trade and currency risks that undermine the benefits of his tax reform and deregulation. Sometimes trade wars end badly for everyone.” WSJ

— WAPO: “Treasury Dept. designates China a ‘currency manipulator,’ a major escalation of the trade war,” by David Lynch, Gerry Shih, Jeff Stein and Damian Paletta: “The move, which President Trump had promised to take on his first day in office, requires Treasury only to initiate consultations with China. Beijing has long denied U.S. accusations that it keeps its currency undervalued to make its products more competitive on world markets. …

“‘This puts us into a new phase, and it’s not a good phase,’ said Marc Chandler, chief market strategist for Bannockburn Global Forex. “It’s hard to see how there won’t be a lot of collateral damage.” Trump’s push to label China a currency manipulator has been thwarted in the past by Mnuchin and former aides such as Gary Cohn, while being supported by Peter Navarro, a White House trade adviser.” WaPo

— MARKETS TODAY … FT: “Markets steady after heaviest stock drop since early 2018,” by Adam Samson in London and Siddarth Shrikanth in Hong Kong: “Investors appeared to shrug off the Trump administration formally naming China a ‘currency manipulator’ after the close of US trade on Monday.

“Xiangrong Yu, senior China economist at Citi, said the designation was ‘largely toothless,’ but that ‘the risk of full-scale trade war is on the rise.’ Goldman Sachs came to a similar conclusion: ‘While symbolically significant given that this designation was last used 25 years ago, in and of itself we think it is unlikely to result in actions on the scale of recent tariffs or other US sanctions,’ said Andrew Tilton, the New York bank’s chief Asia economist.

“Still, the decision marked ‘another major setback to the possibility of a trade agreement,’ noted Tai Hui, chief market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, who added that it may deal a further blow to risk appetite.” FT

2020 WATCH …

— NEW POLITICO/MORNING CONSULT POLL — “Poll: Dems say Warren reigned in second primary debates,” by Caitlin Oprysko: “Sen. Elizabeth Warren easily prevailed in last week’s primary debates in Detroit, according to a new poll out Tuesday. Three out of 10 respondents dubbed Warren the winner for her debate performance last week, a POLITICO/Morning Consult poll of registered Democratic primary voters found. Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden rounded out the top three with 18 percent and 14 percent of respondents dubbing them the top performers, respectively.” POLITICO

— DAVID SIDERS in Las Vegas: “‘Corn, soybeans and landmines’: Dems brace for hard slog through Iowa”: “With two sets of debates and six months of fundraising finished, a new stage is opening in the Democratic presidential primary: The summer slog.

“For six weeks until the next debate, in mid-September, candidates will shift their focus more completely to the early primary states, grinding through a ritualistic run of picnics, forums, and party fundraisers: The Wing Ding, the Iowa State Fair, the Summer Sizzler, Londonderry’s Old Home Days.

“For the frontrunners, the rigors of a month full of intimate, often less scripted public appearances will present a significant test. But the weaker contenders will also come under considerable pressure. Some will likely begin running out of money or will fail to qualify for the next set of debates, culling the now-sprawling field.” POLITICO

— “How the Trump Campaign Used Facebook Ads to Amplify His ‘Invasion’ Claim,” by NYT’s Thomas Kaplan: “President Trump’s re-election campaign has harnessed Facebook advertising to push the idea of an ‘invasion’ at the southern border, amplifying the fear-inducing language about immigrants that he has also voiced at campaign rallies and on Twitter.

“Since January, Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign has posted more than 2,000 ads on Facebook that include the word ‘invasion’ — part of a barrage of advertising focused on immigration, a dominant theme of his re-election messaging. A review of Mr. Trump’s tweets also found repeated references to an ‘invasion,’ while his 2016 campaign advertising heavily featured dark warnings about immigrants breaching America’s borders.” NYT

JOHN F. HARRIS and DANIEL STRAUSS: “Democrats become the Hannibal Lecter party”: “The dustup in recent days among Democratic presidential candidates about Barack Obama’s presidential legacy recalls a dustup Obama himself started on the subject of presidential legacies before he had one of his own — almost a dozen years ago. …

“But history has a sense of humor: Obama now finds himself lumped by many fellow Democrats on the 2020 campaign trail in much the same category as Bill Clinton — a satisfactory presidency, even a pretty good one, but with too many disappointments and too much incrementalism to be transformational. …

“The debate highlights a persistent reality of modern politics. A generation of conservatives recognized that history is an instrument of power, and built a virtual industry dedicated to celebrating Reagan’s legacy and renaming things in his honor. Democrats, by contrast, during the same time often have become the Hannibal Lecter party — eating their party’s presidential legacies with fava beans and a nice chianti.” POLITICO

BIG IVANKA PROFILE — VANESSA GRIGORIADIS for NEW YORK MAGAZINE: “Ivanka Aeternum”: “These days, in her role as ambassador for Trumpism and relatively silent witness to family separation at the border, Ivanka has instead incinerated everything about her reputation that once insulated her from accusations of complicity with her father.

“She seems like she may be building a new life for herself with a whole new base — abroad, where cities change their contours for her before a visit, as Hyderabad did by moving the beggars on her motorcade’s path into shelters. Wherever she appears, a media scrum of photographers follows, pushing and shoving like she’s a Kardashian at a Starbucks. At home, as for a reality star, a glam squad arrives in the morning at her D.C. mansion.” NY Mag … The cover

TRUMP VS. MADURO — “U.S. Expands Sanctions Against Venezuela Into an Embargo,” by WSJ’s Vivian Salama:“The Trump administration imposed a total economic embargo against the government of Venezuela, a significant escalation of pressure against the regime of President Nicolás Maduro and countries including Russia and China that continue to support him, a senior administration official said.

“President Trump late Monday signed an executive order freezing all government assets and prohibiting transactions with it, unless specifically exempted, the first action of its kind against a government in the Western Hemisphere in more than 30 years. The move places Venezuela on a par with North Korea, Iran, Syria and Cuba, the only other countries currently under such stringent U.S. measures.” WSJ

PRIMARY TO WATCH — “San Diego Republican to challenge embattled Hunter for House seat,” by Jeremy B. White: “A prominent San Diego Republican jumped into the race Monday to unseat Rep. Duncan Hunter, underscoring the widespread belief that the party needs a backup plan as Hunter battles a suite of campaign finance violations. Former San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio focused on assailing Democrats, who dominate the state’s Legislature, statewide offices and House delegation, when he announced his candidacy.” POLITICO California

Is More Rat-Infested Than Baltimore,” by Washingtonian’s Jane Recker: “The study counted the number of rat complaints filed in 2017 and 2018 in five cities: DC, Baltimore, Chicago, Boston and New York. In 2018, DC had a whopping total of 5,715 complaints to Baltimore’s 4,476.

VALLEY TALK — “How do you solve a problem like 8chan?” by Nancy Scola, Cristiano Lima and Alexandra S.

The Columbine attack was covered live on cable and broadcast television. At the time we thought it would be the mass shooting to end all mass shootings. How could we let anything so horrible happen again? Especially after seeing what we had all seen. …

“I’m out of daily journalism now. But whenever there’s a mass shooting I have no desire to read the stories or watch the footage. There’s a ritual to the coverage, and it feels like it always follows the same arc and ends the same way. … This ritual can make journalism seem futile. I am forced to ask why journalists are doing this work in this way, and whether in the end it’s worth it.” The Atlantic

“Success is not measured by the position one has reached in life, rather by the obstacles one overcomes while trying to succeed”

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Good morning,

In an address to the nation, President Trump on Monday laid out five proposals to prevent mass shootings from happening again.

One of them calls for an overhaul of mental health laws to better identify people with mental problems who might commit acts of violence.

“Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun,” Trump said.

“Please tell the president to stop it with the tweets!” If I had a dollar for every time a nominal conservative makes this plea to me in person, well let’s just say I’d have lots of dollars. My response is, however, always the same: “If not for rare truth-tellers like Sean Hannity and candidate Donald Trump’s Twitter feed, Hillary Rodham Clinton would now be the president.” Read more Radiating Caution on the 5G Rollout
By Lee Harding

The much-hyped rollout of 5G continues, but many scientists would prefer 5G be put on hold—at least until much more testing has been done. To scientists who have been sounding the alarm over the rollout, the spectre of 5G means more than fifth-generation wireless technology. It also means five times greater health risks—if not five thousand. Read more

This new centralized system, with the Fed as the lender of last resort, was supposed to end the boom and bust cycles for good.

THE FLIP SIDE

Tuesday, August 6, 2019 Proposals to Prevent Future Shootings “Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday he will propose bipartisan legislation to encourage more states to adopt ‘red flag’ laws after a pair of horrific mass shootings. The South Carolina Republican’s announcement came soon after President Donald Trump also called for such laws, which allow police and family members to request that a court temporarily restrict the access to firearms of people who may pose an imminent threat to themselves or others… Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) also renewed calls for passing his and West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin’s bill to expand background checks after Trump tweeted about the issue earlier in the day.” Politico From the Left The left isn’t opposed to ‘red flag’ laws, but argues for more extensive gun control measures and aggressive policies to counter white nationalism. “Republicans on Fox News over the weekend trotted out the same tired excuses: video games are to blame, they said. President Trump claimed it was all about mental health. Both explanations are absurd. After adjusting for population, video game revenues between the United States and Britain are roughly equal. And even though video game revenues are substantially higher per capita in Japan than in the United States, there are roughly 111 Americans killed in gun homicides for every Japanese homicide victim even after adjusting for population. Mental health and substance abuse disorders are slightly higher in the United States than in Britain and Japan, but not dramatically so, and certainly not 73 or 111 times higher… The world thinks America’s gun laws are crazy — and they’re right.”
Brian Klaas, Washington Post

“Studies show that a relatively small percentage of violent crimes are perpetuated by people with diagnosed mental health issues, and that gun access—not mental health symptoms—is the primary predictor of firearm violence. As a result, an increasingly large and vocal cadre of doctors has been arguing for years that gun violence is more an issue of access and regulation than it is mental health.”
Jamie Ducharme, Time

“If having so many guns around actually made the US safer, as the National Rifle Association and pro-gun politicians claim, America would have one of the lowest rates of gun violence in the world… [Instead] the US has nearly six times the gun homicide rate of Canada, more than seven times that of Sweden, and nearly 16 times that of Germany… [Researchers] have found time and again that America’s loose access to guns is a major reason the US is so much worse in terms of gun violence than its developed peers…

“Many factors can of course play a role in any individual shooting. But when you want to explain why America sees so many of these mass shootings… and why America suffers more gun violence than other developed nations, none of these factors gives a satisfying answer. Only guns are the common variable. To put it another way: America doesn’t have a monopoly on racism, sexism, other kinds of bigotry, mental illness, or violent video games. All of those things exist in countries across the world, many with much less gun violence. What is unique about the US is that it makes it so easy for people with any motive or problem to obtain a gun.”
German Lopez, Vox

“We cannot see inside people’s minds and discern who is potentially homicidal before they step into the abyss and unleash a hail of bullets on an innocent crowd. But we can certainly begin systematically curtailing access to high-firepower weapons… Prospective handgun owners should be required to pass safety courses, undergo extensive background checks, and renew their permits via follow-on background checks every three years. Weapons should also be restricted to 10 rounds’ magazine capacity. In addition, all handgun transactions — including between private parties — should be conducted through a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder and recorded in a centralized federal registry.”
Gabriel Collins, The Hill

Many note that “our current counterterrorism framework was set up, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, to deal exclusively with foreign terrorist groups like Al Qaeda… Many of our allies have already changed their own laws to allow more robust investigations of domestic terrorists. Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, MI5, for example, can now use many of the same methods against domestic extremism that they have long deployed against Al Qaeda…

“The F.B.I. should follow MI5’s lead, with appropriate safeguards for our constitutional freedoms. But this can happen only if Congress updates our post-9/11 legislation to allow domestic terror groups to be designated in the same way as foreign ones. This will allow our law-enforcement agencies access to the full suite of monitoring tools and our prosecutors the ability to bring meaningful charges for aiding domestic terrorism.”
Ali H. Soufan, New York Times From the Right The right supports ‘red flag’ laws but is skeptical of increased background checks or an ‘assault weapon’ ban. “Indiscriminately banning certain types of guns, such as semi-automatic ‘assault weapons,’ is a violation of that constitutional right… [But] no right is absolute, not even the right to bear arms. Natural rights are bound by responsibility. This means that at times citizens must give up parts of their liberty for the greater good. Regulating gun rights can in some circumstances be justifiable. The question then becomes, what should that regulation look like?”
Kaylee McGhee, Washington Examiner

Dated But Relevant: “So-called ‘assault weapons’ are nowhere near the root of the American violence problem. According to FBI data, of the two-thirds of murders that involve firearms, about 69 percent involve handguns rather than rifles or shotguns of any kind. Most estimates place the contribution of assault weapons to gun crime at around 1 or 2 percent… Contrary to popular myth, assault weapons fire only once for each pull of the trigger; they are not machine guns. The features that define assault weapons — such as a folding stock or a pistol grip — may look militaristic, but they provide little advantage to someone intent on killing innocent civilians.”
The Editors, National Review

Moreover, “the reality that most modern gun-control proposals impact mainly the law-abiding is a principal reason for the consistent resistance to them from America’s gun owners. But there is one place where gun owners and gun-rights opponents meet: Americans who have demonstrated by their own conduct that they’re not fit to own a weapon…

“A so-called ‘red flag’ law fills the gaps in criminal law and the laws governing mental-health adjudications by granting standing to a defined, limited universe of people to seek temporary seizure orders — called gun-violence-restraining orders — for a gun if they can present admissible evidence that the gun’s owner is exhibiting threatening behavior. Properly drafted, these laws can save lives while also protecting individual liberty.”
David French, National Review

“With red flag laws, President Trump proposed a bipartisan, commonsense solution that could go a long way in preventing these atrocities… One commonality in the mass shootings we have seen is that perpetrators tend to communicate their intent beforehand… So why not permit family members or law enforcement – as determined by law – who have observed either behavioral warning signs or communicated intent to harm to petition a judge to temporarily seize firearms from a potential attacker?”
Kayleigh McEnany, Fox News

In addition, “there are aggressive investigative measures that can be taken to identify, profile, and monitor white supremacists who are potential assassins… being a white supremacist and associating with white supremacists are not, by themselves, grounds for prosecution; but they are constitutionally sufficient grounds for police suspicion. They warrant investigation. It has always been permissible to use beliefs, associations, and speech for evidentiary purposes in criminal investigations. This is not criminalizing constitutionally protected ideas; it is investigating to prevent the violent crimes to which aggressively hateful ideas are known to lead.”
Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review

Some point out that while “neither the El Paso nor the Dayton gunman would have been stopped from purchasing a weapon by an ‘expanded’ background check or any kind of background checks that didn’t have a pre-crime component… the Sutherland Springs church shooter, having been convicted of assaulting his then-wife and stepson, should not have had a gun, but the FBI blew it. The racist Charleston church shooter should have been stopped by a background check, but his narcotics conviction never reached the FBI. Similarly, the Virginia Tech killer bought guns after a court had found him to danger to himself, but the information was never passed on to the federal background-check database… Perhaps we should have a conversation about tightening up the system that’s already in place before we start passing new laws.”
David Harsanyi, The Federalist On the bright side…

Trump Addresses the Nation Following Two Mass Shootings
Yesterday, President Trump delivered a public address in the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, which resulted in 22 and 9 deaths respectively. In addition to outright condemning white supremacy, the speech called for specific reforms in addressing gun violence, including more effective mental health laws and changes in cultural attitudes towards violence. From Fox News:

“Our nation is overcome with shock, horror and sorrow,” Trump said, in solemn remarks from the White House. “We are outraged and sickened by this monstrous evil.” In unequivocal terms, the president also condemned white supremacy, responding to reports that the shooter in El Paso wrote a racist manifesto.

“In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy,” Trump said, standing beside Vice President Pence. “These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hatred has no place in America…”

Among his list of proposals, Trump called for reforms to mental health laws “to better identify mentally disturbed individuals who may commit acts of violence,” adding that we must “make sure those people not only get treatment but when necessary, involuntary confinement.”

“Mental illness and hatred pulls the trigger, not the gun,” Trump said, going on to call for red-flag laws to allow the seizure of firearms from those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety.

The president also called for “cultural” changes, citing violent video games. Further, Trump said he has directed the Justice Department to propose legislation ensuring that those commit hate crimes and mass murders “face the death penalty and that this capital punishment be delivered quickly, decisively, and without years of needless delay…”

“We must do a better job at identifying and acting on early warning signs,” Trump said. “I am directing the Department of Justice to work in partnership with local, state, and federal agencies and social media companies to develop tools to identify mass shooters before they strike.”

He added: “We must stop the glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace…It is too easy for troubled youth to surround themselves with a culture that celebrates violence. We must stop or substantially reduce this and it has to begin immediately.”

Four Voters in California Sue California Over New Tax Return Law
Four California voters, with the help of the conservative group Judicial Watch, have taken matters into their own hands following the passage of the “Presidential Tax Transparency and Accountability Act.” Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the new law last week, which would require primary candidates “to file the most recent five years to the California secretary of state by November 26 or be excluded from the March 3, 2020 presidential primary ballot.” The law is thought to be a direct attack on President Trump, who has been mum about releasing his tax returns.

The law itself, however, presents possible constitutional issues. From Fox News:

“The Constitution requires only three things of presidents: They have to be a natural-born U.S. citizen; must be at least 35 and must have lived in the country for at least 14 years. (Although the precise legal meaning of the term “natural-born U.S. citizen” is debated, it generally is taken to apply when someone is either born in the U.S. or born abroad to a U.S. citizen.)…

“California politicians, in their zeal to attack President Trump, passed a law that also unconstitutionally victimizes California voters,” Fitton added. “It is an obvious legal issue that a state can’t amend the U.S. Constitution by adding qualifications in order to run for president. The courts can’t stop this abusive law fast enough.”

But this lawsuit is only the latest in the saga of Trump’s tax returns, which have continued to garner the attention of Democratic members in Congress. Earlier this year, the House Ways and Means Committee filed suit in an attempt to gain access to Trump’s federal tax returns, which resulted in Trump filing suit to block the committee from accessing his NY state tax returns. Trump is unusual in the sense that he is the first president in tens of years to not voluntarily release his tax returns

THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR

Today’s Top News August, 6 2019 Democrats’ Obsession With Racism of Identity Politics Proves Lethal The forum could not be more “progressive.” And more obsessed with the politics of racial supremacy — identity politics. There in Houston, Texas, on April 24 of this very year, one Democratic presidential candidate after another stood up at a “She the People” forum to proudly and quite openly endorse the poisonous racism of identity politics. By: Jeffrey Lord
______________________ You Don’t Know Me: Take a Tour of Ferguson, Missouri Whenever my wife and I have out-of-town visitors to our home in St. Louis, I ask if they are willing to have us show them Ferguson. After overcoming their trepidation, we head due north from our home in an old neighborhood on the near south side of the city of St. Louis. After 15 minutes, we are in a nightmarish landscape of vacant and collapsing red brick houses By: Joseph P. Duggan
______________________ Conservatism Is the Real Rebellion on Today’s College Campus Here’s some advice for incoming college students: If you want to be really radical, be a conservative. New students entering college immediately encounter this paradox: If the Left prevails, how can embracing it be rebellion? Common sense tells us it cannot, but of course common sense is among the scarcest commodities on campus. A primer on modern rebellion is therefore a necessity. By: J. T. Young
______________________ Losing Language and Logic to Trump Derangement Syndrome The Raleigh News & Observer contributor J. Peder Zane is a piñata who lends a patina of bipartisanship to a progressive editorial page where other writers claim the moral high ground. In an opinion column published July 31 and updated since, the N&O’s token conservative attracted a level of reader ire unusual even for him by asserting that a false narrative linked the GOP and racism. By: Patrick O’Hannigan
______________________ Welcome to Our Times When the tumult and the shouting have died from the pitch occasioned by the El Paso and Dayton massacres, there may be stillness enough, for a short time anyway, to accommodate a useful question.

SCOTT RASMUSSEN

ScottRasmussen.com Launch – Check Out My All New Website No Images? Click here Good morning,Due to ongoing interest, we have decided to release new numbers of the race for the Democratic nomination every weekday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern.Numbers released last night showed Joe Biden at 27%, Bernie Sanders at 16%, Senator Elizabeth Warren at 11%, and Senator Kamala Harris at 7%. These figures are based upon a three-day rolling average. Compared to a week ago, Biden is down five and Harris up two. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was at 0% a week ago, jumped to 3% immediately following the debates, and is now back to 0% again.Related data shows a reason to be cautious when assessing the impact of the debates. Just 48% of voters even know that round two of the Democratic presidential debates were held last week. Another 19% believe they will take place in the next week or two while 33% are not sure.On a different topic, 46% now believe President Trump should be impeached and removed from office. That’s up three points from a week ago and the highest level of support for impeachment since February. Still, just 21% believe it is even somewhat likely to happen.Shifting to Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now viewed favorably by 38% of voters and unfavorably by 49%. Those figures are at the low end of a narrow range of support Pelosi has enjoyed since returning as speaker.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell earns favorable ratings from 27% and negative reviews from 47%. That’s the highest unfavorable rating for McConnell since a year ago.A majority of Independent voters have an unfavorable opinion of both Pelosi (52%) and McConnell (54%).Finally, it was one year ago today that I returned to polling after a long time away. I wondered at the time whether phone polling was already dead or merely dying. In either case, it seemed appropriate to look forward rather than back and conduct research on a digital platform. I selected HarrisX to do all field work for ScottRasmussen.com polls and they’ve been a wonderful partner. I look forward to working with them and keeping you informed throughout the 2020 election cycle.Scott Stay Informed Up To The Minute and Share ContentDeeper CurrentsScott Rasmussen offers his personal insight, analysis, and opinion on current political races, issues, and controversy.

08/06/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Presented by Fisher Investments: Laying Blame; Toning It Down; Time to Go By Carl M. Cannon on Aug 06, 2019 08:39 am
Good morning, it’s Tuesday, August 6, 2019. The Cabinet meeting convened by Richard Nixon 45 years ago today was originally scheduled for 10 in the morning, but the besieged president lingered in the Oval Office until 10:37 a.m., and then took a brief detour to the White House barber shop before entering the Cabinet Room at 11:04 a.m. Perhaps he knew what awaited him. Assembled in that historic room was his entire Cabinet, four aides and confidants, including Alexander Haig Jr. and White House press secretary Ron Ziegler, along with the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Seated between Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger, Nixon began by saying he wanted to address a current domestic policy issue — namely, inflation. To the other men present, it seemed as though the president was in denial. The most important matter before the country — the only matter than concerned them that morning — was the president’s impending impeachment. Nixon addressed this, too, but in fits and starts. He thanked the Cabinet secretaries for sticking by him, claimed he wanted “the facts out” about Watergate. Although transcripts of secret White House tapes had been released the day before, making the situation politically untenable, Nixon insisted that his lawyers still believed he’d committed no impeachable offenses. He acknowledged that the House was a lost cause and that he might lose a Senate trial, too. But he wouldn’t resign, Nixon said, because it would set a bad precedent for future presidents. He sounded like a man trying to convince himself. But one person present, a Republican known for decorum not brashness, wasn’t having any of it, as I’ll explain in a moment. First, I’d steer you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * 2020 Dems Blame Trump for Weekend Mass Shootings. Susan Crabtree reports on the candidates’ remarks yesterday at a gathering of Latino leaders. After El Paso, the President — and the Media — Must Tone It Down. Steve Cortes calls for a dampening of incendiary rhetoric. Bipartisan Action the Only Hope to Solve Border Crisis. Rep. Doug Collins makes a case for fixing flaws in the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act. Trump’s Common-Sense Steps to Improve Health Care.

RealClearReligion editor Chandler Lasch explores issues raised in a new book by Daniel Mahoney, “The Idol of Our Age.” * * * At one point during his fateful August 6, 1974, Cabinet meeting, President Nixon invited Gerald Ford to weigh in. This put the vice president on the spot, as Ford pointed out. Then, from one of the chairs along the wall behind the table, an unlikely emissary spoke up. It was George H.W. Bush, the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Noting later that Nixon looked “beleaguered, worn down by stress, detached from reality,” Bush felt the need to speak candidly. No recording of the meeting is available. Nixon’s surreptitious taping system, which caused him so much grief, had by then been disconnected, so there’s no record of exactly what Bush said. But no one there ever forgot the gist of it: Bush believed the president had to go. In Jonathan Aitken’s authorized Nixon biography, this advice is rendered quite simply: “Mr. President, you have to resign.” In “Final Days,” the famous account by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, Bush is heard essentially echoing Attorney General William Saxbe in saying that the president’s ability to govern had been impaired. However it went down, White House Chief of Staff Al Haig explained in his own memoirs just how bold this was. Bush was not a Cabinet official. He had presumably been invited to the White House that morning because he’d been so strong in his public defense of the president. But in the meeting, Haig recounted, there was a sudden stir from his side of the room and Bush “seemed to be asking for the floor.” Nixon did not recognize him, but Bush spoke anyway. “Watergate was the vital question,” Haig wrote in recounting the Bush moment. “It was sapping public confidence. Until it was settled, the economy and the country as whole would suffer. Nixon should resign.” Nixon was torn about what he should do; so was his wife, Pat. Over dinner upstairs in the family quarters, the first lady emphatically urged her husband not to step down, Nixon later said. “She was the last to give up,” he recalled. Yet, without any further conversation between them about it, the president noticed later that evening that Pat had already been going through the family’s personal effects, organizing and packing for their exile from the home they’d known for 5½ years. “With us sometimes, as it is between people who are very close, the unspoken things go deeper than the spoken,” he said. “She knew what I was going to do.” Actually, the last holdouts — those who were truly the “last to give up” — were Nixon’s two daughters, Tricia and Julie. On this date in 1974, the younger of the pair, 26-year-old Julie, wrote a note and put it on her father’s pillow for him to find when he went to bed. “Dear Daddy,” it began. “I love you. Whatever you do I will support. I am very proud of you. Please wait a week or even ten days before you make this decision. Go through the fire just a little bit longer. You are so strong! I love you.” She then signed her name, with a brief postscript. “Millions support you.” This was true. It was also true, as Nixon had told Al Haig that same day with gallows humor, “Well, I screwed up real good, didn’t I?” Carl M. Cannon

MEET THE PRESS

From NBC’s Chuck Todd and Carrie Dann

FIRST READ: Trump’s teleprompter temperament isn’t the message — what comes next is.

Yesterday, we wondered before President Trump’s address to the nation how he would frame the weekend’s mass shootings.

We asked:

if he would mention the El Paso shooter’s specific targeting of Latinos (he did not)…

if he would use the phrase “white supremacy” (he did)

if he would announce a trip to El Paso or Dayton (we learned late yesterday that he will visit both)

and if he would expand on the background check proposal he floated earlier on Twitter (he didn’t mention it at all).

Trump’s calls for empathy and resolve weren’t all that different from addresses he’s made in the past after tragedies.

But, in these situations, Trump also has a history of making off-the-cuff statements or tweets after the fact that have muddied or undermined his scripted calls for unity and healing.

So it’s what comes NEXT that will demonstrate whether this is a moment of any meaningful change, or a blip before we return to the status quo.

Consider:

After Charlottesville

Trump’s scripted response, August 14, 2017: “Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, White supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

Trump Q&A, August 15, 2017: “You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group … that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name…

I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally—but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and White nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.”

After Parkland

Trump’s scripted response, February 15, 2018: “I want to speak now directly to America’s children, especially those who feel lost, alone, confused or even scared: I want you to know that you are never alone and you never will be. You have people who care about you, who love you, and who will do anything at all to protect you. If you need help, turn to a teacher, a family member, a local police officer, or a faith leader. Answer hate with love; answer cruelty with kindness.”

Trump tweet, [v]February 17, 2018: “Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!”

After the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting

Trump’s scripted response, October 27, 2018: “This evil, anti-Semitic attack is an assault on all of us. It’s an assault on humanity. It will require all of us working together to extract the hateful poison of anti-Semitism from our world.”

Trump Q&A, October 27, 2018: “If they had some kind of a protection inside the temple maybe it could have been a very much different situation. They didn’t. And [the shooter] was able to do things that, unfortunately, he shouldn’t have been able to do. ”

After the New York truck attack

Trump’s scripted response, November 1, 2017: “All of America is praying and grieving for the families who lost their precious loved ones. Horrible act. Our hearts break for them and we pledge to renew our resolve in their memory.”

Trump tweet, [v]November 1, 2017: “The terrorist came into our country through what is called the “Diversity Visa Lottery Program,” a Chuck Schumer beauty. I want merit based.”

After Orlando

Trump tweet, June 12, 2016: “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don’t want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!

And that’s not to mention comments criticized as being tone deaf in the wake of[v] Hurricane Maria, Hurricane Harvey, and the Mandalay Bay mass shooting.

Yes, all eyes were on Trump’s statement yesterday to see what kind of tone he would strike.

But what matters more is what Trump does and says in the next few days.

Next time he has a rally, will he talk about El Paso or gun violence in front of that audience? And will he avoid his old rhetoric about immigrant “invaders” — or keep it up for the crowd?

And, until he can convey empathy and concern for national unity in an unscripted way, will he ever be able to get these moments right?

What we learned from last week’s big fundraising data dump

Last week, a huge data filing by donation-processing company ActBlue gave us a granular view of the online fundraising by each of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.

The reason the data dump was a big deal? Campaigns only have to include details of donors who give more than $200 in their FEC fundraising reports, but ActBlue’s data detailed every donation — no matter how small — between January 1 and June 30.

NBC’s Ben Kamisar and Melissa Holzberg crunched the numbers. Here’s some of what they learned:

Sanders remains the king of grassroots fundraising, bringing in $34 million through the ActBlue platform.

The top tier of candidates — Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg — are also raising the most in early primary states. Sanders is dominating fundraising in Iowa and New Hampshire, while Biden leads in Nevada. In South Carolina, Biden, Sanders and Buttigieg are all competing for the top spot.

Julian Castro got a BIG fundraising bump after the first Democratic debate, raising $84,000 on the night of his debate performance and nearly $330,000 the following day. That’s compared to under $20,000 raised the day before the debate.

Kamala Harris also had a huge fundraising windfall after the first debate, bringing in $574,000 on the night she sparred with Joe Biden and $1.8 million the next day.

Trump administration labels China a currency manipulator

Per our colleagues at CNBC:

“The U.S. Treasury Department on Monday designated China as currency manipulator, a historic move that no White House had exercised since the Clinton administration…

More: ‘In recent days, China has taken concrete steps to devalue its currency, while maintaining substantial foreign exchange reserves despite active use of such tools in the past,’ the Treasury Department added. ‘The context of these actions and the implausibility of China’s market stability rationale confirm that the purpose of China’s currency devaluation is to gain unfair competitive advantage in international trade.’”

And here’s what the Wall Street Journal editorial board writes in response this morning:

“President Trump claims trade wars are easy to win, but that boast looks worse than ever amid the financial carnage from his latest threat of tariffs on Chinese goods. His trade war has now become a currency war, which raises the potential economic harm to another level.”

More: “Mr. Trump is punishing China all right. He’s also putting U.S. growth in jeopardy by unleashing trade and currency risks that undermine the benefits of his tax reform and deregulation. Sometimes trade wars end badly for everyone.”

DATA DOWNLOAD: And the number of the day is… 767 points.

767 points.

That was the drop in the Dow at the end of the day yesterday — a 2.9 percent dip and the worst day of 2019 for Wall Street.

The drop came after the weakening of Chinese yuan against the dollar, and against a backdrop of the president’s threat last week to impose an additional 10 percent tariff on $300 billion in Chinese imports starting next month.

2020 VISION: Previewing the MS-GOV primary race

If it’s Tuesday.. voters are voting!

Republicans could be headed for a primary runoff after today’s three-way primary contest in the Mississippi gubernatorial race.

The GOP contest pits Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves against former state Supreme Court chief justice Bill Waller Jr. and state Rep Robert Foster.

(Foster recently made headlines for refusing to allow a female reporter to accompany him on the campaign trail without a male colleague present.)

Reeves, who has outspent his opponents on TV by more than 3-1, has been considered the frontrunner throughout the race — but recent polling showed him potentially falling short of the 50 percent necessary to avoid a runoff, which would be held August 27.

The winner will likely face Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood in November. Hood faces seven comparatively unknown Democratic contenders in his primary today.

On the campaign trail today: Joe Biden and his wife Jill have a fundraiser in Idaho… Bernie Sanders has a town hall and a rally in California… Cory Booker and Michael Bennet are both campaigning in South Carolina, while John Hickenlooper and John Delaney stump in Iowa.

Dispatches from NBC’s embeds: NBC’s Amanda Golden flags that Sen. Kamala Harris’ campaign is opening four field offices New Hampshire. They’ll be located in Manchester, Nashua, Keene and Portsmouth.

Harris’ New Hampshire State Director Craig Brown says, “Our field offices will serve as central locations for campaign volunteers and supporters as they continue to discuss Kamala Harris’s agenda focused on solutions that will have a direct and immediate impact on people’s lives. We’re excited to open these new hubs for all the organizing already happening across the Granite State.”

And former Rep. John Delaney made remarks in Lamoni, Iowa last night where he was asked about running against “entitled dinosaurs.”

NBC’s Priscilla Thompson reports his response: “I don’t think anyone is entitled to the nomination in the Democratic Party, right. Because this is about our country, this is about everything we stand for. This is not about someone’s career.”

THE LID: Not just background noise

Don’t miss the pod from yesterday, when we checked in on what the polling says about Americans’ desire for stricter gun regulations.

ICYMI: News clips you shouldn’t miss

Former president Barack Obama weighed in on the recent shootings — with what sounded a lot like a shot at Trump.

Mitch McConnell [v]is ignoring calls for Congress to come back into session to address gun violence.

The man who mailed pipe bombs to critics of Donald Trump has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Gun laws in Texas are set to loosen up beginning September 1.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling out a group of men in “Team Mitch” t-shirts after a photo surfaced of them holding and appearing to kiss and choke a cardboard cutout of her.
