Tuesday
Such a fantastic win for Ron DeSantis and the people of the Great State of Florida. Ron will be a fantastic Governor. On to November!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2018
Wednesday Morning the newly minted Republican candidate for the Florida governorship appeared on Fox News, when asked about the democrat candidate, Andrew Gillum, who would be the first African-American governor of Florida, DeSantis said he feels Gillum is much to liberal for Florida, he continued by saying, “he is an articulate spokesman for those far left views. He is charismatic and I watched those debates. None of that was my cup of tea, but I mean he performed better than the other people. So we’ve got to work hard to make sure we continue Florida in a good direction, build off the success we’ve had with Governor Scott, the last thing we need to do, is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda,” he concludes by saying that would not be “good for Florida.”

Florida Democratic Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo responded via Twitter
It's disgusting that Ron DeSantis is launching his general election campaign with racist dog whistles. #FlaPol https://t.co/T9qRVYtbv3

DeSantis spokesperson Stephen Lawson told NBC News political reporter, Ali Vitali, that the expression, “monkey this up,” is something candidate DeSantis uses often when something is messed up or not done correctly.
DeSantis' spox tells me this is something the congressman says “frequently" to express something that was messed up or not done right.
— Ali Vitali (@alivitali) August 29, 2018
Spox says it “had nothing to do with race or anything like that" but just talking about the situation in Florida. #FLGOV https://t.co/Eg6I3W9ivx
The campaign issued a statement via Twitter
New statement from DeSantis comms director @StephenLawsonFL: “Ron DeSantis was obviously talking about Florida not making the wrong decision to embrace the socialist policies that Andrew Gillum espouses. To characterize it as anything else is absurd.” #flgov pic.twitter.com/4OcWPiJB7x

Fox News via The Hill had this to say in response to DeSantis’ comments, “A little while ago, we had Ron DeSantis, the Republican nominee for governor in Florida on for an interview to discuss the Florida election,” America’s Newsroom host, Sandra Smith said before reading the campaign statement, she added, “We do not condone this language and wanted to make our viewers aware that he has since clarified his statement.”
Report just out: “China hacked Hillary Clinton’s private Email Server.” Are they sure it wasn’t Russia (just kidding!)? What are the odds that the FBI and DOJ are right on top of this? Actually, a very big story. Much classified information!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2018
On Monday The Daily Caller published an article entitled, “Sources: China Hacked Hillary Clinton’s Private Email Server,” writer Richard Pollock opens the article by stating, “A Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C., area hacked Hillary Clinton’s private server throughout her term as secretary of state and obtained nearly all her emails, two sources briefed on the matter told The Daily Caller News Foundation.”
A former intelligence officer who The Daily Caller spoke to about the emails on the condition of anonymity “as he was not authorized to publicly address the Chinese’s role with Clinton’s server,” declined to name the Chinese-owned company and is quoted as saying, “We do know the name of the company. There are indications there are other ‘cutouts’ that were involved. I would be in a lot of trouble if I gave you the name.”
Add the 2026 World Cup to our long list of accomplishments!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2018
The 2026 World Cup will be hosted in Canada, Mexico, and the US.
YouTube user Irving Reyes in June stated that, the bid for the 2026 games, was called the “North American Bid.”
Our new Trade Deal with Mexico focuses on FARMERS, GROWTH for our country, tearing down TRADE BARRIERS, JOBS and having companies continue to POUR BACK INTO OUR COUNTRY. It will be a big hit!

New Poll – A majority of Americans think that John Brennan and James Comey should have their Security Clearances Revoked. Not surprised! @FoxNews
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2018
On Monday The Hill published an article that focused on the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll, that the Hill states was released to them “exclusively.”
The online survey consisted of “surveys of 1,330 registered voters conducted Aug. 22-23.” According to the article the breakdown of “partisan voters is 37 percent Democrat, 32 percent Republican, 29 percent independent and 2 percent other.”
The survey found that out of the 1,330 people that, “59 percent of registered voters felt Brennan should have lost his security clearance, while 64 percent said Comey and others at the FBI who were fired or demoted over their actions should lose their clearance.”
The Hill explains that the online survey “does not report a probability confidence interval,” meaning there is no margin of error indicated.
Wednesday
Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!

Martha McSally, running in the Arizona Primary for U.S. Senate, was endorsed by rejected Senator Jeff Flake….and turned it down – a first! Now Martha, a great U.S. Military fighter jet pilot and highly respected member of Congress, WINS BIG. Congratulations, and on to November!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2018
Not only did Congressman Ron DeSantis easily win the Republican Primary, but his opponent in November is his biggest dream….a failed Socialist Mayor named Andrew Gillum who has allowed crime & many other problems to flourish in his city. This is not what Florida wants or needs!

See above for fallout from Ron DeSantis Fox News interview from Wednesday.
“The Obama people did something that’s never been done…They spied on a rival presidential campaign. Would it be OK if Trump did it next? I am losing faith that our system is on the level. I’m beginning to think it is rotten & corrupt. Scary stuff Obama did.” @TuckerCarlson DOJ

“Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid for information from the Russian government to use against her government – there’s no doubt about that!” @TuckerCarlson

As has been reported by multiple media outlets, as has been testified to before Congress and the Senate, the DNC, paid Fusion GPS to obtain information on candidate Trump. Fusion GPS hired former British Intelligence officer Christopher Steele to conduct opposition research.
The Washington Post — October 2017
“Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research. After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community.”
Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpsons testimony from both November 8th and November 14th can be found here.

“Anonymous Sources are really starting to BURN the media.” @FoxNews The fact is that many anonymous sources don’t even exist. They are fiction made up by the Fake News reporters. Look at the lie that Fake CNN is now in. They got caught red handed! Enemy of the People!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2018
When you see “anonymous source,” stop reading the story, it is fiction!

White House Counsel Don McGahn will be leaving his position in the fall, shortly after the confirmation (hopefully) of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. I have worked with Don for a long time and truly appreciate his service!
