Trump is attempting to build nationalism. No different than Putin's Russia.
During the 1984 Republican National Convention, (click here) respondent Johnson participated in a political demonstration to protest the policies of the Reagan administration and some Dallas-based corporations. After a march through the city streets, Johnson burned an American flag while protesters chanted. No one was physically injured or threatened with injury, although several witnesses were seriously offended by the flag burning. Johnson was convicted of desecration of a venerated object in violation of a Texas statute, and a state court of appeals affirmed. However, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed, holding that the State, consistent with the First Amendment, could not punish Johnson for burning the flag in these circumstances...
We have seen this misinformation before. Whoever is advising him is making much out of nothing.

FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) CEO Marchionne: (click here) "We ran the optimization exercise with a very clear view of not losing one unit of sales for Ram and not losing one unit of sales for Jeep."
Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed Tuesday after months of speculation that the automaker plans to move production of its Ram pickups to Sterling Heights from Warren and move production of a Jeep SUV to Toluca, Mexico, from Belvidere, Ill....

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (click here) plans to spend $1.49 billion to retool its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant so it can build the next-generation Ram 1500 pickup truck there after it stops producing the Chrysler 200.
The investment plans were disclosed today in Lansing when the Michigan Strategic Fund board approved a tax break valued at $11.38 million over a 15-year period to help secure the automaker's commitment. The board unanimously approved the request after about a 15 minute discussion....
I will tell you what is going on here. It is called a shell game to
"Make Trump look Great Always."
Chrysler is not doing anything differently. As a matter of fact Chrysler figured out it would cost less to improve the plant in Warren, Michigan opposed to Sterling Heights, Michigan.
There is absolutely nothing coming back from Mexico to the USA. Wall Street loves this guy. They showered every elected House and Senate member with campaign contributions to let them know Trump is the man they need to follow.
I hope the union has the bonus being issued by Chrysler in writing as they do the profit sharing plan, because, after all the lies are discovered the company might change it's mind about the bonus.
Wall Street CEOs are happier than pigs in shit. Maybe that is being harsh on pigs. The CEOs don't know what to do with all the money they have now that the tax structure is changed, so to prevent issues with exceptional profit margins, they are giving it away as a tax deduction.
Trump and the Republicans have instilled corruption systemically and no different than Roger Goodell, the CEOs are attempting to "shine everyone on." That is all this is. It is corruption of the government by Trump's financial professionals in his administration.

Detroit -- Citing President Trump's and Congress' new tax law, (click here) Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Thursday that it's going to move some of its production back from Mexico.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will invest more than $1 billion to modernize the company's Warren Truck Plant in metro Detroit, adding 2,500 jobs and moving production of its Ram Heavy Duty trucks from Mexico.
The changeover is to be complete in 2020.
The company said that the new federal tax law made the shift possible. That legislation, signed into law in December, cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
Fiat Chrysler also announced $2,000 bonuses that will be paid in the second quarter of this year to 60,000 hourly and salaried employees in the U.S., excluding senior leadership. Those bonuses are to be in addition to any profit sharing or performance bonuses the employees would receive this year.
"These announcements reflect our ongoing commitment to our U.S. manufacturing footprint and the dedicated employees who have contributed to FCA's success," Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said in a statement. "It is only proper that our employees share in the savings generated by tax reform and that we openly acknowledge the resulting improvement in the U.S. business environment by investing in our industrial footprint accordingly."...
Is he still talking? Oh, the immigration law that doesn't apply to Russian Pregnancy Tourism.
My pet peive; the robbing of the poor of their children to serve the middle class and upper class. Don't do anything about poverty and the working poor, simply displace their children to 'great Americans' that want their children.
Trump made a huge error in bringing up Syria and the US Casualities there. We don't belong there and now Turkey is fighting the USA rebels.

Turkey’s latest military incursion (click here) into northern Syria which it says is aimed at reining in Kurdish separatists will speed up the return of Syrian refugees to their homes, Turkish officials say. But Kurds are fearful Ankara plans to use the returnees to displace them and engineer a population shift.
Kurd officials say Ankara wants to re-shape the demographics of the borderlands in a bid to establish a “corridor of stability” populated by fewer Kurds and with Sunni Arab refugees currently in Turkey taking their place.
That would weaken the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), which Ankara dubs an affiliate of Turkey’s outlawed Kurdish separatists, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK)....
Turkey has a large number of refugees and there is a problem with violence because of it. There are currently at least 3 million Syrian refugees in Turkey. But, Turkey has frequently attacked the Kurds because PKK is considered a terrorist organization. The Kurds have been instrumental in ending Daesh in the region. Turkey cannot start another war with the Kurds simply because it believes the refugee crisis will be ended.
Turkey should be grateful to the Kurds for the very fact they defeated Daesh without any help from Turkey.
Trump cannot stand the idea that South Korea and Japan might be burgeoning into peace talks with China and North Korea. Peace with North Korea is not on Trump's political agenda. He has a lot of generals in his administration that have known the Korean War and have a desire to continue the tensions. It is ludicrous for the USA to attempt to end any peace talks with North Korea. Trump is about his politics and that is exactly what his speech today has conducted.
The USA is in danger because of Trump's administration and election committee. That is the truth and it is not being addressed tonight. The country has lost many of the people that were within it's brain trust under this administration. That is dangerous. Trump is not a good president and is a problem for this country. The US House and Senate need to impeach.
