    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks in a Meeting With African American Leaders and an Exchange With Reporters February 27, 2020 The President. Well, I want to thank you very much. We're here with some of the Black leaders of our country and people that are highly respected and people that have done a fantastic job and, for the most part, have been working on this whole situation with me right from the beginning. Participants. Yes. Yes. The President. And we've done a lot. We've done Opportunity Zones. We've done criminal justice reform. We've done things that people didn't even think possible. Criminal justice reform—we've let a lot of great people out of jail. Participants. Yes! [Applause] The President. And you know, Alice Johnson is, really, just such a great example. A fine woman. And she doesn't say she didn't do it; she made a mistake. But she was in there for 22 years when we let her out, and she had practically another 20 left. Participant. She did. The President. And that's not appropriate. Alveda King Ministries Founder Alveda C. King. Her children grew up, her grandbabies. The President. Yes, I know. So incredible. And you couldn't produce—there's nobody is Hollywood that could have produced that last scene of her. Ms. King. Amen. Amazing. The President. That was the real deal—of her when she saw her kids. So it's really a fantastic thing. So what I think I do is I'd like to—for the media, I'd like to go around the room, and we can do just a quick introduction of each other.

Part 171, Democracy Forward Foundation makes the following request for records. Background On October 4, 2017, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson gave an unscheduled press conference [herein “the Press Conference”] to address early morning press reports that he openly disparaged President Trump and had been on the verge of resigning this past summer amid clashes with the White House.1 The press conference was held despite an already scheduled press briefing led by Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert.2 During the press conference, Secretary Tillerson stated he did not speak with the President ahead of his unscheduled appearance. Secretary Tillerson also refused to refute reports that he “openly disparaged the president, referring to him as a ‘moron,’ after a July 20 meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials”:3 “REPORTER: Can you address the main headline of this story that you called the president a moron, and if not, where do you think these reports — “TILLERSON: I’m not going to deal with petty stuff like that.

The data included will provide you with a high-level review of TMCF’s accomplishments in 2016—fulfi lling our vision of Changing the World... One Leader at a Time. TMCF’s growth and presence over the years make me proud of the work we do daily to support our member-schools and assist them with preparing our students to be the next generation of leaders. However, even though we had an incredible year, there is so much more to be done. There are so many more students who need an opportunity o ered, encouragement given, or an obstacle removed in order to achieve their full potential. Even though we do the work, we are keenly aware that nonprofi ts need partners to help develop creative solutions to get and stay on the path to sustainability. And, we’re deeply proud of the community of donors, partners, and supporters who work with us to make this happen. As we prepare for our 30th anniversary next year, we will remain dedicated to ensure that the success of member-schools and students will continue to grow. Our ultimate goal is for TMCF to be the fundamental place WHERE EDUCATION PAYS OFF®.

Cullen2, Justin T. Pickett3 , Cheryl Lero Jonson4, Murat Haner5, and Melissa M. Sloan5 Abstract Purpose: Over the past several months, the coronavirus has infected more than six million Americans and killed nearly 200,000. Governors have issued stay-at-home orders, and prosecutors have filed criminal charges against individuals for defying those orders. And yet many Americans have still refused to keep their distance from their fellow citizens, even if they had symptoms of infection. The authors explore the underlying causes for those who intend to defy these norms. Methods: Using national-level data from a March 2020 survey of 989 Americans, the authors explore intentions to defy social distancing norms by testing an interactionist theory of foundation-based moral behavior in combination with faith in President Trump during the coronavirus pandemic. The analysis controls for a range of variables, including measures of low self-control and deterrence. Results: Low self-control is the strongest predictor of defiance intentions. Consistent with interactionist theory, defiance intentions are significantly higher for those holding specific faith in Trump and those endorsing binding foundations. Furthermore, the interaction of these two variables is significant and in the predicted direction. The results hold for two different measures of faith in Trump.

Suite 218 Washington, D.C. 20036-4505 Re: Violation of the Hatch Act by Ivanka Trump Dear Mr. Kerner: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that the Office of Special Counsel (“OSC”) investigate whether Assistant to the President Ivanka Trump violated the Hatch Act by using her social media account, @IvankaTrump, to post messages including President Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again.” These actions were directed specifically toward the success or failure of Donald J. Trump, a candidate in a partisan election. By sharing these posts on a Twitter account that Ms. Trump uses for official government business, Ms. Trump engaged in political activity prohibited by law. Factual Background Ms. Trump was appointed to be Assistant to President Trump in March 2017.1 In this capacity, Ms. Trump serves as an “unpaid advisor to her father in the White House.”2 In response to nepotism and other ethical questions raised following her appointment, Ms. Trump issued a statement, saying: I have heard the concerns some have with my advising the president in my personal capacity while voluntarily complying with all ethics rules, and I will instead serve as an unpaid employee in the White House Office, subject to all of the same rules as other federal employees.3 Ms. Trump uses the Twitter handle @IvankaTrump and identifies herself on that social media platform as “Advisor to POTUS on job creation + economic empowerment, workforce development & entrepreneurship.”4 Since joining the Trump Administration, Ms.

  • Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions and 187 Last-Minute Appointments
    Trump Administration Allies Have Burrowed Into 24 Critical Civil Service Positions And 187 Last-Minute Appointments SUMMARY: Following the outgoing administration’s “quiet push to salt federal agencies with Trump loyalists,” an Accountable.US review has found that, as of February 22, 2021, at least 24 Trump administration political appointees have “burrowed” into long-term civil service jobs in the new Biden administration. This includes at least four figures in the national security apparatus, nine figures with environmental regulators, three figures in the Department of Justice, two figures in the embattled Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and at least six other appointees elsewhere who have refused to step down in the transition. Burrowing of this sort is not treated lightly, as officials who transfer from political appointments to career positions must undergo scrutiny by federal personnel overseers for a full five years—and some of these cases have been found to violate federal laws and have drawn congressional scrutiny. However, there is a much wider slate of concerning Trump administration appointments that are not subject to such strict oversight: During the Trump administration’s waning days following the 2020 election, it announced 187 last-minute appointments to various boards, commissions, and councils that don’t require Senate confirmation. While some of these appointments have already drawn alarm for going to campaign staffers, megadonors, and top administration allies, Accountable.US has unearthed even more troubling names in Trump’s outgoing deluge. Similar to how early Trump administration personnel picks were directly conflicted against the offices they served, many of these late Trump appointments are woefully underqualified or have histories directly at odds with the positions to which they were named—and they are likely to stay in long into the Biden administration.

To Melania — Prologue — Just Another Lunch “Grab ’em by the pussy.” The sentence that reverberated around the world on October 7, 2016. The quote was an excerpt from a recording that became forever known as “the Access Hollywood tape,” published by the Washington Post and aired on NBC News, a month before the 2016 presidential election. It had been recorded eleven years earlier, in September 2005, on a bus taking Donald Trump to make a cameo on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. Now infamously, Donald told TV host Billy Bush, “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy.” When the story broke about the tape I was deeply immersed in my oldest son, Zach’s, health problems related to his life-threatening food allergies and other issues that required many doctor’s visits and therapies. My middle son, Tyler, was transferring to a new school, and my daughter, Alexi, was adjusting to hers.

  • Is Donald Trump an Outlier Among Recent Presidents?
    FEATURE Contemporary Presidency Presidents Meet Reporters: Is Donald Trump an Outlier among Recent Presidents? MARTHA JOYNT KUMAR Is President Donald Trump an outlier among presidents in the ways in which he meets with the press? Using comparative data for Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Trump, this article looks at how similar and different Trump is compared to his recent predecessors. While at one time presidents answered reporters’ queries in presidential press conferences, today presidents have more opportunities to meet the press. All six presidents studied used three basic forums: press conferences, informal question-and-answer sessions, and interviews. They did so in ways consistent with their presidential goals and in settings in which they felt comfortable. In their first 32 months, all recent presidents employed strategies similar to ones that brought each to the presidency and then most found additional resources for communicating with the public. Except for President Trump, Presidents Reagan through Obama did so with relatively stable White House leadership teams and coordinated communications organizational structures. In this way as well as in significant others, the five previous presidents had more in common with one another than they did with President Trump. Keywords: president and press, White House press operations, presidential press conferences President Donald Trump is often characterized as bent on destroying the political system as we know it without a relationship to past presidential patterns. Gerald Seib of the Wall Street Journal characterized Trump as “the disrupter-in-chief, the most promi- nent leader to rise to power by proudly taking a wrecking ball to the prevailing political system” (2019).
