DEVELOPING: Trump chooses declassification option, readies epic doc dump

1. Will Trump pull the trigger?

The only question now is: Will Trump pull the trigger and unleash the military arrests? Note that Trump does not have the loyalty of the US Army, nor of many top generals. He doesn't need that. Trump has Chris Miller at the DoD, and he has...

CCP EXPERT:WE CAN'T FIX TRUMP VIA WALL STREET,BUT WITH BIDEN...FOR THE PAST 30-40 YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN UTILIZING THE CORE POWER OF THE USA...THERE ARE A LOT OF DEALS.

"We know that the Trump administration is in a trade war with us,so why can't we fix the Trump administration? 1/

Why did China and the U.S. use to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 and 2016? [...] What is the reason? I'm going to throw out something maybe a little bit explosive here. It's just because we have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top 2/

of America's core inner circle of power & influence...to put it bluntly, for the past 30 years, 40 years, we have been utilizing the core power of the United States.

[...] since the 1970s, Wall Street had a very strong influence on the domestic and foreign affairs of the 3/

United States. So we had a channel to rely on. But the problem is that after 2008, the status of Wall Street has declined, and more importantly, after 2016, Wall Street can’t fix Trump. It's very awkward. Why? Trump had a previous soft default issue with Wall Street, so 4/

there was a conflict between them, but I won't go into details, I may not have enough time.

So during the US-China trade war, they (Wall Street) tried to help, and I know that my friends on the US side told me that they tried to help, but they couldn't do much. 5/

I would like to see Democrats produce even one shred of evidence or just one example of President Donald Trump calling for violence. Just one. That's all.

Meanwhile, they can enjoy their own words calling for violence repeated back to them ...

NEW: Before he left office, Trump filed his final financial disclosures with @OfficeGovEthics. I’ve had a read through them. The income he is claiming in respect of his Scottish resorts is entirely divorced from the reality set out in black in white in his UK accounts. Thread 👇

Firstly, Trump lists his income from ‘golf related revenue’ at Turnberry as $9.8m. Which is interesting, given the latest UK accounts for Turnberry's parent company registered losses of £2.3m ($3.1m) for the 12 months to 31 Dec 2019.

Even the turnover in the UK accounts - listed as £19.6m ($26.8m) is a country mile off that income figure listed in Trump's OGE filings. Comparing like for like, even accounting for that weird 'golf related revenue' descriptor, it's not even close.

If you drill down in more detail, and subtract the administrative expenses at Turnberry's parent firm from its turnover in order to get closer to whatever that 'income' figure entails, the number is still £12.5m ($17.2m).

And if you go deeper, and account for the gains the company made in foreign exchanges, and deduct depreciation and amortisation costs, the figure is £9.9m ($13.6m). Still a way off the OGE number.
