Trump Just Violated A Federal Directive With A Tweet
This morning after seeing the July jobs report, President Trump could not help himself from sending out a tweet that violated a federal rule.
The rule prohibits executive branch employees from publicly commenting on economic data within an hour of their release, in order to prevent undue influence on markets.
Trump, however, will not be stopped from bragging.
It is the second time Trump has violated the rule to boast about the continued economic recovery he inherited from President Obama — in fact, jobs grew at a slightly slower rate this year than the same period in 2016.

Trump Says U.S. ‘Losing’ Afghan War in Tense Meeting With Generals
During the July 19 meeting, Trump repeatedly suggested that Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford replace Gen. John Nicholson, the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, because he is not winning the war,
During the meeting, Trump criticized his military advisers seated around the table in the White House Situation Room for what he said was a losing U.S. position in the war,
the president directed his frustration at Mattis, saying Trump had given the military authority months ago to make advances in Afghanistan and yet the U.S. was continuing to lose ground, the officials said
"We aren't winning," Trump complained, according to these officials. "We are losing." ( Trash Family Battle Cry!)
"If the president doesn't listen to the generals, like Gen. Nicholson and he goes down the road that President Obama went, Afghanistan is going to collapse," Graham said. "Here's my advice to the president — listen to people like Gen. Nicholson and McMaster and others who have been in the fight."
( letting the generals run the war has worked beautifully for 16 ING YEARS)
Trump compared the policy review process to the renovation of a famed New York restaurant in the 1980s, officials said.
Trump told his advisers that the restaurant, Manhattan's elite '21' Club, had shut its doors for a year and hired an expensive consultant to craft a plan for a renovation. After a year, Trump said, the consultant's only suggestion was that the restaurant needed a bigger kitchen.
Officials said Trump kept stressing the idea that lousy advice cost the owner a year of lost business and that
talking to the restaurant's waiters instead might have yielded a better result.
He also said the tendency is to assume if someone isn't a three-star general he doesn't know what he's talking about, and that in his own experience in business talking to low-ranking workers has gotten him better outcomes.
Two Pentagon officials close to Mattis said he returned from the White House that morning visibly upset. Mattis often takes a walk when grappling with an issue. That afternoon, the walk took longer than usual,

This Trump real estate deal looks awfully like criminal tax fraud
Two tax lawyers break down the president’s sale of two condos to his son.
According to a recent story by ProPublica and the Real Deal, in April 2016 a limited liability company managed by Trump sold two condominium apartments to a limited liability company managed by Eric Trump.
They were on the 13th and 14th floors of a 14-story, full-service, doorman building at 100 Central Park South in Manhattan.
This is a prime Midtown neighborhood, yet the sale price for each condo was just $350,000.
Although the condition and square footage of apartments 13G and 14G are not readily known, a popular real estate website shows that G-line apartments on both the fifth and eighth floors are one-bedroom, one-bath units of just over 500 square feet.
Two years before the Trump transaction, apartment 5G sold for $690,000. Maybe the two units in question were in terrible shape, but two months before the sale to Eric Trump’s LLC,
they were advertisedfor $790,000 (on the 13th floor) and $800,000 (on the 14th floor), according to ProPublica.
If a sale between a parent and child is for fair market value, it does not trigger a gift tax. But if a parent sells two expensive condominiums to his son at a highly discounted price, for example, then the parent makes a taxable gift in part. In that case, the seller must pay a gift tax of up to 40 percent. (In this case, that might have run the president somewhere in the neighborhood of $350,000.)
Each taxpayer has a $5.49 million lifetime exemption (a married couple has a combined $10.98 million exemption), meaning you can give away that much money without incurring the tax. To claim that a transaction is covered by the exemption, though, you must file a gift tax return. Well-advised wealthy individuals typically fully use their $5.49 million exemption by making gifts to family members as soon as they have the assets to do so.
So if Donald Trump sold the apartments to his son’s company for less than fair market value, he needed to file a gift tax return, even if he wanted to claim that the sale was not taxable because of the exemption.
The government wants to know what gifts people make, because gifts are taken into account when determining the value of a person’s taxable estate at death.
If Trump had already used his exemption, he would owe gift tax on the difference between the fair market value of the apartments and the amount paid by Eric Trump.
Trump paid $13,000 in state and local transfer taxes for these two sales. That is the correct amount for a sale between strangers.
But if he paid state and local transfer taxes, that means he didn’t treat the transfers as gifts.
And on the real estate forms filed in New York,
Trump didn’t check any of the boxes indicating that these were sales between relatives or sales of less than the entire property.
It would seem, then, that he treated the transactions as if they were sales for fair market value to a stranger.
Since Trump did not cast the transactions as gifts for state and local tax purposes, it is almost certain that he did not do so for federal gift tax purposes, either.
In our combined 40 years of experience as tax lawyers, we are unaware of a situation in which a taxpayer would report a transaction as a fair market value between strangers on the state level (and thus incur real estate taxes) but treat it as a gift at the federal level (and thus incur an additional tax). It’s fair to infer that Trump didn’t follow the rules.

note: Trash can pardon only Federal criminals, not state criminals.
and as SCOTUS ruled against Bill Clinton, the President is not immune for crimes committed before taking office.
they were advertisedfor $790,000 (on the 13th floor) and $800,000 (on the 14th floor), according to ProPublica.
did not sell reduced price and sold

'What's the thing with boats?' and other deep thoughts Trump shared with world leaders
Trump is sure this agreement was made to make him look bad.
"This is going to kill me. I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."
Okaaay.
"It makes me look so bad and I have only been here a week."
"Okay, this shows me to be a dope. […] I look like a dope."
Then he proves he's a dope.
Trump: "Does anybody know who these people are? Who are they? Where do they come from? Are they going to become the Boston bomber in five years? Or two years? Who are these people?"
Turnbull: "Let me explain. [Unspoken: "For the umpteenth time.] We know exactly who they are. They have been on Nauru or Manus for over three years and the only reason we cannot let them into Australia is because of our commitment to not allow people to come by boat. Otherwise we would have let them in. If they had arrived by airplane and with a tourist visa then they would be here."
Which gets Trump totally befuddled.
"What is the thing with boats? Why do you discriminate against boats?
No, I know, they come from certain regions. I get it."
You really have to feel for Turnbull with this guy. His response, "No, let me explain why," is uttered again and again in the conversation,
