hotel. think he s going to get a good deal? you think that person he appoints to have that agency might be inclined to maybe negotiate really good lease terms for mr. trump s property? cheaper rent for trump and his kids so they can make even more money off that hotel which he will make more money off because he is president. even just that alone, that ait is is a rollicking in your face conflict of interest that there s no way ethically speaking that, that mr. trump should be allowed to appoint a head of the general services administration. you can t appoint your own landlord. but at least he s going to try. what diguidelines trump may folw as he sets up his new administration. so far they ve made no announcement about a code of ethics that they re using for any of their hiring, the transition process itself
officials said today the state department had not been involved in planning tomorrow s meeting, leaving the logistical and protocol details that would normally be settled far in advance still to be determined. quote, there has been a lot of confusion said one japanese official. but to be clear, the japanese prime minister is coming to new york city tomorrow to meet the president-elect of the united states and as of tonight japan does not know where they re meeting him or when or who is coming to the meeting and they don t know who to call to find out. you know, you guys should check with egypt. apparently they found a working number. or if you know anybody who place golf maybe? the head of the aclu is here tonight, anthony romero, the mayor of new york city is here tonight, having just met with the president-elect today, apparently he s got a number for him. hey, for the first time there is no typical day.
it s called the trump old post office llc. and today they filed this lawsuit against the government to try to get the tax bill lowered for mr. trump s d.c. hotel. this is remarkable. this was filed today. eight days after he was elected president. we posted the filing on maddowblog.com. eight days after he became president-elect, d.c. apparently assessed the trump hotel as being worth $98 million. the lawsuit filed by trump and his kids today says they want the valuation of the hotel reduced from $98 million to $28 million for tax purposes. that s all they want to pay tax on. in fact, they want a refund of the taxes they have already paid. just send the check to the white house when they get the refund?
this is from a full-page ad in donald trump s home town newspaper. as you assume the nation s highest office, we must ask you now as president-elect to reconsider and change course on certain campaign promises you have made. specifically you promised to a mass deportation force to remove illegal immigrants and to ban muslims, to restrict a woman s right to abortion services, to reauthorize water boarding, to change the nation s libel laws and restrict freedom of expression. they re not just un-american and wrong headed they are unconstitutional. if you do not, you will contend with the full firepower of the aclu at your every step. our staff of litigators and activists in every state, millions of supporters stand ready to fight against any
this was the head of the nra the day that group endorsed donald trump as their candidate for president this year. if she could, hillary would be in every gun, destroy every magazine, run an entire national security industry right into the ground, and put your name on a government registration list. folks, i m not kidding. if she gets just one supreme court nomination, hillary s court will hold that the second amendment is the government right, not an individual right, and you can kiss your guns goodbye. in all of history, there has always been a time and a place when patriots stand up and rise up against the decree of the elite and shout saying no more, get your hands off my freedom. that time and place is now. we stand together. we stand and we fight like hell
