Absolutely Horrifying New Excuse To Hate Donald Trump


Donald J. Trump

On May 5, 2020, the Nasdaq 100 Futures fell by 0.8% and eventually leveled off at 0.4% after reports came out that Donald Trump is preparing an executive order that will threaten IT businesses, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google. 

According to reports, the Trump EO will command a review of a controversial law that spares tech companies from liabilities brought about by comments, videos and posts of multimedia users in their web platforms. The existing law, known as Section 230, allows tech companies to police their own ranks without fear of lawsuits. Making the tech companies (like Facebook) liable for content posted by billions of users will have a tremendous effect in the way current business is being practiced. Simple speculation that Section 230 will be repealed was enough to make investors panic and withdraw their money.

Vicious social media posts, comments, and other contents heavily targeted Trump through the years. However, he also relies on social media to spread his gospel, which are oftentimes labeled by critics as misleading, if not downright false.

Trump played the game with his followers and critics but during the past few days, social media seemed to have started working against him. News about the Trump executive order came a couple of days after Twitter  labeled one of the president’s tweets and linked viewers to news articles that fact-checked his claims.

Donald John Trump is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessperson, television personality, political theorist and political economist. 

Born: 14 June 1946 (age 73 years), Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, New York, United States

Height: 1.9 m
Net worth: 2.1 billion USD (2020)
Party: Republican Party
Spouse: Melania Trump (m. 2005), Marla Maples (m. 1993–1999), Ivana Trump (m. 1977–1992)
Children: Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Barron Trump, Tiffany Trump, Eric Trump

In his book, “Trump: The Art of the Deal”, Donald said, “good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells.”

It has been many years but I think, I remember him directly saying, “there’s no such thing as bad publicity!” It was a long time ago, and maybe, I’m wrong.

US PRESIDENTIAL CONVOYS

A columnist for a Philippine newspaper talks about the costs and massive preparations required by the US Secret Service whenever President Bush and other (US Presidents) travel outside of Washington DC. I remember watching a CNN report that showed how big a US presidential convoy is, compared to the two vehicle transport being used by Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK.

DOHA Round Updates & Preferential Tariffs in Practice

T he DOHA round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations intends to promote the opening of markets and promoting free trade. This April, the latest meeting failed to reach a conclusion. Director-General Pascal Lamy of the World Trade Organization delivered a speech before the US Chamber of Commerce on April 23, 2007. Here are excerpts from his speech. "T oday we know that the Doha Development Round will not be concluded until and unless all these participants are ready to walk the extra mile and table additional contributions to the collective success of this multilateral enterprise. It is clear that the contributions will be linked to the degree of development and wealth of each participant, with the world poorest countries making the smallest contribution. It is also clear that no one will be asked to move first: countries will have to move in concert, like a big orchestra playing to the same tune. For the moment, a group of major actors — the EU, US, Brazil, India — d...
