Strong majorities of African-Americans and Hispanics believe race relations around the country have deteriorated under President Donald Trump, and a majority of the country feels the same way, according to a poll released Wednesday.
Seventy-nine percent, or almost eight in 10, African-American voters and 60 percent of Hispanic voters said relations have worsened since Trump assumed office, the Politico/Morning Consult poll indicated.
In contrast, a slim majority of 51 percent of white voters said relations have declined around the country as the anniversary of the racially charged Charlottesville, Virginia, protests approached this week.
Overall, 55 percent of voters said race relations have worsened under Trump, with only 16 percent stating relations have improved and 18 percent answering they have remained the same.

... and yet Trump is seeing major increases in black and hispanic support. As someone said the other day on TV, you don't need to like how the messenger delivers the message to like the message and therefore the messenger. That is the disconnect many have with Trump. He's crass and pushy and says/does things that make people cringe. However, he speaks the raw truth most politicians would never be caught dead uttering and his actions have brought peace and prosperity. That stuff counts bigly at the polls.

She just wrote a book. Claims Trump used the N-word. She never heard him say it but says he's a racist.

Not true
https://news.gallup.com/poll/226091/...-approval.aspx
Disaggregating the umbrella "nonwhite" category shows that Trump is especially unpopular with black Americans, 9% of whom approve of how he handles his job. About one in five Hispanics (18%) approve of Trump's performance, while 30% of Americans who identify as Asian or another nonwhite race/ethnicity approve of the president.
And....
How Trump's false claim about African American support happened
https://money.cnn.com/2018/05/06/med...cks/index.html
President Trump recently bragged about his support among African Americans, saying his poll numbers had "doubled." His claim has been repeated thousands of times on TV and online. Some media figures have treated it as fact.
But it's not. The news organization responsible for the poll, Reuters, says its data is being misconstrued.
Here's the story of how it happened -- showing how right-wing web sites, Trump supporters on social media, and the president spread misleading information so easily.
This matters because Trump supporters were left with the impression that the president is gaining support from African Americans, an idea that is not backed up by data. .

Is Chumpy gonna call Vladimir a "dog" next time they meet secretly?
Putin Wants Trump to Hand Over Three DHS Agents Who Are Investigating a Company Linked to the Don Jr Meeting
https://www.alternet.org/news-amp-po...company-linked
....According to Michael Weiss, writing for the Daily Beast, far down Putin’s shopping list are three Department of Homeland Security agents whom he has accused of running off with over $400 million in Russian money – when in fact they were investigating associates of Putin laundering that money.
The agents — identified as Todd Hyman, Aleksandr Schwartzman, and Svetlana Angert — were included by Putin, who reportedly explained to Trump that some of that stolen money was funneled to the 2016 presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
(---- OMG, Clinton did it.----)
“It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal,” Putin offered at the Helsinki meeting.
As Weiss writes, “Hyman, Schwartzman, and Angert were not laundering money, as Putin and his prosecutor would suggest; they were investigating money launderers.”

Problem is, boys, we have been saying the same things about Hillary all along.
But if our delusions make you happy, have at it.
I know you have so little to celebrate these past 572 days.
