Quote:Trump is defending the Confederate flag, Confederate statues, streets and military bases named for Confederate generals. He wants the Confederacy voters. That is more insanely grotesque than gross.

Trump's niece Mary says his reelection would spell 'the end of American democracy'
President Donald Trump's niece wrote in her new book that "it would be the end of American Democracy" if her uncle is reelected in November.
Mary Trump's "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" is being published July 14. Some outlets have published excerpts of the book.
Mary also claimed she turned down her uncle's invite to attend his election night party in 2016, because she was rooting for Hillary Clinton to win.
President Donald Trump's niece has offered a stern warning about her uncle four months before the 2020 elections.

Coronavirus bill more than double the size of FDR’s New Deal: How it compares
Fox News wrote: If enacted, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) will be the single most expensive piece of relief legislation in U.S. history. To put the size in context, that's more than double the cost of the entire New Deal, even when adjusted for inflation.

Fox News predicted correctly: The CARES Act is a bigger fiscal stimulus than the New Deal or the 2008-’09 packages
The Covid-19 crisis is the biggest economic disaster, at least in terms of measured unemployment, since the Great Depression, so it’s perhaps appropriate that the main measure enacted to fight it was historically enormous too. But its scale has been, if anything, underappreciated.
In a 2015 paper, economists Price Fishback and Valentina Kachanovskaya tallied the fiscal stimulus undertaken between 1930 and 1940 (the vast majority of which was initiated by Franklin D. Roosevelt after taking office in 1933) at $41.7 billion, or about $653 billion in 2009 dollars — less than the $840 billion cost of the 2009 stimulus bill, as the St. Louis Fed’s Bill Dupor notes. Dupor also finds that, between 1931 and 1939, the federal debt grew by 30.3 percent of the economy; between 2008 and 2011, it grew by 32 percent of the economy. Again, the Great Recession response was larger.
Bruce Meyer of the University of Chicago and James X. Sullivan of Notre Dame, collaborating with UChicago scholar Jeehoon Ha — found that in April and May, the estimated poverty rate covering the previous 12 months was 8.6 percent compared to 10.9 percent in January and February, suggesting that poverty actually fell after the Covid-19 pandemic hit, almost certainly due to the overwhelming federal response.

The New Deal only got passed because there were too few Republican Senators to stop it. How did the CARES Act get passed when the GOP controls the Senate?
A crisis can motivate action, not so much because it’s the ‘right thing to do’ but because neither party wants to be blamed for failing to act. When the consequences of stalemate are too steep for both parties (an economy in a coma, millions already filing for unemployment, tens of thousands dying), we shouldn’t be surprised to see them go to the bargaining table and reach a deal.
The bill had a little something for each party: Republicans got large-scale support for major businesses, Democrats got a big Unemployment Benefits expansion, Trump got checks he could put his signature on to help his reelection.

I'm sure every family has a horrible relative that nobody wants to talk about.

Quote:"When things turned south in the late 1980s, Fred could no longer separate himself from his son's brutal ineptitude; the father had no choice but to stay invested," she writes of the senior Trump's attitude towards the future 45th US President.

"This is far beyond garden-variety narcissism," his niece, who has a doctoral degree in clinical psychology, writes of Mr Trump. "Donald is not simply weak, his ego is a fragile thing that must be bolstered every moment because he knows deep down that he is nothing of what he claims to be."

Mary Trump, who holds a Ph.D in clinical psychology, paints a portrait of a singularly strange and irrevocably damaged family shaped by the Trump patriarch, Fred Trump, a prominent New York city real-estate developer who ruled his household with an iron fist under a dark, oppressive cloud of psychological and emotional abuse. Mary Trump goes so far as to diagnose him as a high-functioning sociopath, to whom love meant nothing.
Mary Trump writes that Fred Trump pitted his children against one another to win his approval, creating a “Lord of the Flies”-like atmosphere in which only the toughest and most heartless thrived. It drove eldest son and Mary Trump’s father, Freddy Trump, to alcoholism and an early death, she argues.
Such a dark upbringing makes for a dark memoir. “Too Much and Never Enough” is rife with dysfunction and toe-curling cruelty. These are some of the book’s strangest, most cringeworthy moments.
