Encouraging News For Trump Re-election

DIVIDED WE STAND 2/13/120
A recent Gallup poll has some encouraging news for President Donald Trump as his battle for reelection heats up: more than six in 10 Americans say they are better off than they were three years ago when he took office, and about the same number credit him for the improvement.
No incumbent president in the past three decades has enjoyed such a high percentage of people feeling better about their situations. In 2012, when former President Barack Obama was in the White House, 45% of Americans told Gallup they were better off than they were three years ago. In 2004, 1996 and 1992 the number was 50%.
In the survey, 61% said they were better off, 36% said they were not and 3% said they were about the same.
Twenty-nine percent of Americans said the economy was the most important issue for them when voting for president, which was more than those who said health care (26%), immigration (14%), gun policy (13%), education (10%) and terrorism (5%).

Trump says Coronavirus will be gone by April

The president continued to suggest the Coronavirus outbreak, which has claimed 1,000 lives as of Monday, will be gone by April. He told the crowd that "in theory" once the weather warms up Coronavirus, which he referred to as "the virus," will "miraculously" go away. Trump did not offer any scientific explanation to back up his claim. "I think it's all gonna work out fine," he said. "Rough stuff, rough stuff."
Trump echoed that claim during a speech to governors at the White House earlier on Monday, telling the group that China had given him the confidence that the outbreak would subside in Apri due to "the heat." “The heat generally speaking kills this kind of virus,” he said.. 

Trump: ‘We should impeach President Obama’                                                          

During a long stump on healthcare, Trump said Republicans “should impeach President Obama” for his promises about health care. “Remember President Obama, you can keep your plan, you can keep - 28 times - you can keep your doctor. That didn't turn out very good. We should impeach him for that. Why aren't we impeaching him? 28 times, you can keep your doctor. We should impeach President Obama,” Trump declared to the crowd. Does anyone here think Obama should be impeached? Does everyone understand he can’t be because he isn’t the president anymore.. same for Hillary, we can’t impeach her either…

President Trump slams sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone as a 'miscarriage of justice'
President Donald Trump attacked the potential prison sentence for Roger Stone in a tweet Tuesday, reviving speculation over whether Trump would use his pardon power in the case.
While retweeting a news story about how prosecutors have recommended a sentence of up to nine years for Stone, Trump said: "This is a horrible and very unfair situation. The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them."
He added, "Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!"
The tweet may have one impact in the short term: A Justice Department official said federal prosecutors are expected to back away from the stiff prison sentence recommended for Stone.
In November, a jury convicted Stone of lying to Congress and obstructing an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, all in an effort to protect Trump and his presidential campaign.

Federal prosecutors this week, in giving the recommended sentence, said Stone committed a "direct and brazen attack on the rule of law."
The Justice Department backed away from a stiff prison sentence recommended for Roger Stone, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump – an unusual move that comes after Trump's public criticism of the recommendation and overrules the department's career prosecutors.
The backtracking was met with swift backlash Tuesday. In a matter of hours, four attorneys who worked on Stone's case and prepared the sentencing recommendation abruptly quit the prosecution team. Democrats called for an investigation, accusing the Justice Department of political meddling in a criminal prosecution.
Although a Justice Department official said the about-face was not influenced by Trump, it raised new questions about the politicization of the agency.

Ex-OSU wrestler Jordan called ‘crying, groveling, begging’ to deny sexual abuse
On Tuesday, a former captain of the Ohio State wrestling team told state lawmakers in a public hearing that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, pleaded with him in 2018 to deny allegations sexual abuse of male wrestlers by a team doctor was well-known within the program but was ignored.
“Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling, begging me to go against my brother, begging me, crying for a half-hour. That’s the kind of cover-up that’s going on there," Adam DiSabato told members of the Ohio House Civil Justice Committee about a conversation the congressman and him had on July 24, 2018.
Adam DiSabato, who was a member of the school's wrestling program in the late '80s to early '90s, is the brother of fellow OSU wrestling alumni Michael DiSabato, who helped spur the investigation into the late Dr. Richard Strauss.
Strauss died by suicide in 2005. He served in various roles in his 20 years at Ohio State, including more than a decade as a team doctor. He has been accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of athletes at the school.
Jordan, first elected to the House in 2006, worked as an assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State from 1987 until 1995. Many wrestlers and even referees claim Jordan knew or was told of the abuse, but didn't speak out.  About 350 men have sued the school…
