"King of Debt" Trump can't wait to get his hands on the money-printing press!




US will never default on debt 'because you print the money' – Trump
https://www.rt.com/usa/342407-trump-debt-default-minimum/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

In an attempt to clarify his stance regarding potential default on national debt payments, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stated that, in the US, "you never have to default because you print the money."

Responding to questions over recent comments indicating that as president, he would renegotiate US national debt rather than pay creditors in full — which could spur a global financial shock — Trump said the notion that he would default on national debt is "crazy."

"People said I want to go and buy debt and default on debt, and I mean, these people are crazy. This is the United States government," Trump told CNN on Monday "First of all, you never have to default because you print the money, I hate to tell you, OK?"

Late last week, Trump said that as president, he would "borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal." He added, "And if the economy was good, it was good. So, therefore, you can't lose."

Trump's comments alarmed many, as defaulting on national debt would send reverberations throughout global finance given US debt is considered about the lowest-risk financial asset the world over. On Monday, Trump addressed his previous comments.

"I said if we can buy back government debt at a discount, in other words, if interest rates go up and we can buy bonds back at a discount — if we are liquid enough as a country, we should do that," Trump said. "In other words, we can buy back debt at a discount."

Trump, the billionaire real estate magnate, called himself the "king of debt," going on to reference his purchase of discounted mortgages during the housing-bubble collapse that trigger the 2008 recession. However, a nation is different from a business, he said.

"In business (debt buyback) happens all the time. I bought mortgages back when the market went bad, I bought mortgages back at tremendous discounts, and I love doing that," he said.

"There's nothing like it actually, it gives me a great thrill. But in the United States with bonds, that won't happen because you know in theory the market doesn't go down so that you default on debt, and that's what happens."

Trump has also made news of late for suggesting that he would like to see a boost in minimum wage protections and less tax decreases for top income recipients in the US than his previous tax plans had indicated.

On Sunday, Trump gave somewhat contradicting statements on wage hikes in the US. On ABC's This Week, Trump said that "people have to get more" in terms of wages, but his comments centered around the vague pledge to "bring companies back into this country."

"But my real minimum wage is going to be -- I'm going to bring companies back into this country and they're going to make a lot more than the $15 even," Trump said. "They're going to make a lot more than that. That's what I want to do."

Later on Sunday, on NBC's Meet the Press, Trump said that states should decide on their own minimum wages, and that the federal government should not set a wage floor.

"I would like to see an increase of some magnitude," he said. "But I'd rather leave it to the states. Let the states decide. Because don't forget, the states have to compete with each other."

In both Sunday interviews, Trump expressed a belief that, after negotiations with Congress, the wealthy in America may have to pay more in taxes that is proposed in his own tax plan. He did not express a desire to alter his tax plans for top income recipients. In fact, on Monday during an interview with Fox Business Network, Trump said his proposal is centered on "massive tax decreases."

Finian Cunningham warns Russia about Trump.




   Trump U-Turns... Russia Beware   
http://sputniknews.com/columnists/20160510/1039369585/trump-u-turn-foreign-policy.html

The billionaire big-mouth US presidential candidate Donald Trump appears to be the favorite contender for the White House among ordinary Russians, according to some polls.

His appeal abroad is due to various factors. Trump's has a rakish persona whose iconoclasm can at times seem amusing. He has clearly upset the US political establishment with his politically incorrect fiery talk, including members of his own Republican party.

Trump has also said things that appear to be progressively radical. In particular, he has voiced favorable comments in the past about Russian President Vladimir Putin, and has vowed to improve foreign relations between Washington and Moscow. He also slammed the US military alliance NATO as being obsolete.

The property magnate and former reality-TV star has therefore understandably garnered positive interest among Russian citizens. Trump may have said some obnoxious things against immigrants and Muslims, but on the other hand some of his views appear to set him refreshingly apart from conventional Washington politics, which invariably disparage Russia as a global threat.

Could The Donald come up trumps to thaw frosty relations between the US and Russia?

The trouble with Trump, who as of last week has become the Republican's presidential presumptive nominee, is that he can't be trusted. As a former business associate said of him to the Washington Post, Trump will saying anything if he thinks it will clinch a deal. In other words, the would-be president is a consummate self-serving player.

This week has shown Trump making a series of lightning-fast U-turns and rhetorical pirouettes almost befitting the Bolshoi Ballet.

On London's newly elected mayor, Sadiq Khan, Trump said he would make an "exception" to his proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the US by allowing the British politician a visitor visa.

Khan won a stunning electoral victory last week when he became the first Muslim mayor of the British capital – one of the most prestigious cities of the world. The working-class son of an immigrant busman later said that he would like to visit the US to liaise with American mayors on municipal projects, but that he feared he would not be permitted entry if Trump became president in the November election to the White House, because of his "religious faith".

Trump had previously sparked international furore with his proposal to ban all Muslims entering the US – following the terror attacks last year in Paris which were committed by Al Qaeda-linked jihadists.

In response to the London mayor's comments, Trump had to make an embarrassing partial retraction of his outlandish Muslim ban. He congratulated Khan on winning the London mayorship and said there were "exceptions to every rule".

That was not the only slippery stroke by The Donald in the space of a few days. He also quickly walked back comments that he would increase taxes on the super-rich and that he supported increasing the minimum wage for low-paid workers. He subsequently said he wouldn't increase taxes on the wealthy, and that he did not support a federal minimum wage, after appearing to say the opposite on both counts only days earlier.

Trump's spinning and counter-spinning was so agile and contorted that it's not clear what his exact policy position is on these economic matters.

The same goes for his foreign policy. Trump may talk about NATO allies having to fend for themselves in the future and of withdrawing American military protection from overseas deployment, however, he has also warned in contradictory fashion that he will escalate US militarism in the world.

Essentially, Trump's views seem to be ad hoc and contrived to gain votes. In short, he is a demagogue, not someone who has a principled manifesto for "making America great". Becoming CEO in the White House is perhaps his biggest business venture to date, and he appears to be willing to pull out all the stops in order to clinch that deal.
This leads to a mercurial mix of contradictory policies based on expedience and self-serving ambition.

But it also illustrates how Trump has a superficial understanding of how American power really works in the world. Trump may appeal to some voters by saying that he will get NATO allies and other partners to pay more. The assumption being that America is a benevolent chivalrous protector, when the reality is that Washington uses NATO as a vehicle for imposing its hegemony on the rest of the world. There is no way that Trump will get the US to withdraw from NATO and its overseas garrisons because they are crucial to US power projection.

To a degree, the rise of Trump can be seen, indirectly, with some satisfaction. The self-financed mogul, who made his fortune from wheeler-dealer property business, is an epitome of failed American capitalism and the two-party political charade under Republicans and Democrats.

It is hilarious to see the American political establishment disconcerted by The Donald, as he makes a mockery of the system. Last week, US President Barack Obama castigated Trump's presidential ambitions by affecting a pose of seriousness and gravitas, saying that being Commander-in-Chief was "not a reality-TV show".

The pontifications from Obama and the US establishment in Washington and the media over Trump are nauseating. Washington's reckless warmongering in the Middle East and towards Russia and China disqualify it from making any lofty pronouncements about Trump.

Having said that, Trump is no alternative, even by accident. His flip-flops and contradictions show that he would be less than a pragmatic, imaginative leader, and simply one that would be ruthlessly unscrupulous.

Recall that a few weeks ago, Trump's campaign team came up with an attack ad on Democrat contender Hillary Clinton in which Russian leader Vladimir Putin was portrayed as a villain laughing at a Clinton White House.

Before that snide attack, Trump had lavished praise on Putin as a great leader.

The point is that Trump's anti-establishment image is just that – an ersatz image for marketing the next president of the US. His candidacy is more a sign of how degenerate and dangerous US politics have become.

It can be reasonably argued that all American presidents within recent living memory, since John F Kennedy, have been nothing but puppets for corporate masters and US military might upon which predatory American capitalism depends.

Notwithstanding occasional progressive-sounding soundbites, a President Donald Trump will turn out to be just one more pathetic pernicious puppet in the White House. But this maverick – who views everything in grubby dollar signs – could prove to be even more reckless than all other predecessors.

Scared of a Trump Presidency, Americans Rush to Renounce Citizenship
News   22:51 06.05.2016 (updated 02:03 07.05.2016 )
http://sputniknews.com/news/20160506/1039217816/trump-obama-citizenship-renounce-immigration.html

  "The US Treasury Department reports a 1700% increase in renounced
   citizenships, as compared to the Bush era, as the United States comes
   to grips with the possibility of a scandalous bottle-blonde politician.

   
   In a public opinion poll released on March 15, 28% of Americans
   responded that they would consider leaving the country if Donald Trump
   won the 2016 presidential election. That once-remote possibility creeps
   nearer to reality with the controversial billionaire television
   producer securing the Republican Party nomination after rivals Ted Cruz
   and John Kasich dropped out this week.

   Trump's likely opponent, Hillary Clinton, continues to struggle in the
   Democratic Primary against Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and now
   faces a possible FBI investigation after infamous hacker Guccifer
   announced he had repeatedly compromised her private email server which
   contained improperly stored top-secret information.
   
      "Many US citizens have decided not to chance the likely instability of
       a Trump presidency, with a shocking 1700% surge in the number of
       Americans renouncing their citizenship. In the first three months of
       2016, the US Treasury Department reported that a record 1,158
       individuals had renounced their citizenship."

     
   Analysts project that the true number of US expatriations in response
   to the threat of a Trump presidency is much higher than reported, with
   many individuals departing the country without formally renouncing
   their US citizenship or having been barred from renouncing their
   citizenship due to outstanding student loans.

   Death of the Two-Party System? US Election Could Turn Into a 4-Way Race

     
   The United States charges $2,350 for an individual to formally renounce
   their citizenship and hand in their passport.
   
   Not all individuals renouncing their citizenship do so in response to
   politics. For years, the majority of individuals undergoing the process
   did so to avoid America's burdensome global income tax regime. However,
   with the number of departures jumping 1700% over the Bush era, with the
   majority of the spike coming in the past 9 months, the possibility
   exists that this is, at least in part, a Trump-based phenomenon.
   
   Over 50% of Republican voters have claimed in election exit polls that
   they would be "very concerned" or "scared" of a Trump presidency."

Washington Post assigns army of 20 to dig into 'every phase' of Trump's life
By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard) • 5/11/16 11:51 AM
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-post-assigns-army-of-20-to-dig-into-every-phase-of-trumps-life/article/2591021
  "
   


   The Washington Post has built a sizable army of reporters to dig into
   every facet of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's life,
   urged on by new owner Jeff Bezos to reveal everything about the
   potential nominees.
   
   Post Associate Editor Bob Woodward revealed Wednesday that the Post has
   assigned 20 staffers to Trump. In addition the paper plans a book.
   
   "There's a lot we don't know," he told the National Association of
   Realtors convention in Washington. "We have 20 people working on Trump,
   we're going to do a book, we're doing articles about every phase of his
   life," he added.
   
   Woodward, who has interviewed Trump, said that he has begun looking
   into Trump's New York real estate deals. "The New York real estate
   world is more complex than the CIA," he said.
   
   https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/730161760985075712
   
   On Wednesday, the Post poured on several Trump stories, including a
   deep dig into his sex talk on radio host Howard Stern's show.
   
   https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/730103900859183104
   
   He also said that the paper is trying to get to the "essence" of
   Hillary Rodham Clinton, but he dismissed suggestions that she used a
   personal email server to distribute classified information.
   
   "I don't think anyone feels that there was intent on her part to
   distribute classified information in a way that was illegal or
   jeopardized security," he assured the crowd.
   
   Still, he did mention Watergate when discussing the email scandal.
   
   "To do this, quite frankly, doesn't make sense and back to Watergate,
   the burglary, five burglars, business suits, arrested in the Democratic
   headquarters. And the reaction was gee, 'That's unusual.' My reaction,
   Carl Bernstein's reaction was WTF?"
   
   He said that Bezos has urged the Post to run as many stories on Trump
   and the other candidates so that voters can't say they didn't know
   about the eventual president.
   
   "He said, 'Look the job at the Washington Post has to be tell us
   everything about who the eventual nominee will be in both parties, 15
   part, 16 part series, 20 part series, we want to look at every part of
   their lives and we're never going get the whole story of course but we
   can get the best attainable," said the famed reporter.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/23/world/asia/obama-donald-trump-japan.html

HANOI, Vietnam — Officially, the top world leaders who gather Thursday at the Group of 7 summit meeting will talk about shared concerns, like global trade or the Islamic State. But their private discussions are likely to cover a topic that is not on the agenda: Donald J. Trump.

President Obama now hears questions in his meetings with world leaders about whether Mr. Trump has a realistic shot at becoming president.

For months, Mr. Obama has answered those questions with an emphatic "no."

"I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president," Mr. Obama said in February at the end of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit meeting in California.

But this week's summit meeting in Japan is the first among major allies since Mr. Trump moved decisively toward securing the Republican nomination, and Mr. Obama's counterparts are likely to want more detail in his explanations of an election that has prompted fascination and apprehension overseas.

Mr. Obama's Japanese hosts are particularly alarmed at the prospect of a Trump presidency because the real estate developer has been bashing Japan for decades. Mr. Trump's criticisms have a distinctly 1980s flavor, when Japanese cars were flooding American markets and Japanese businesses were buying premier American properties like Rockefeller Center in New York.

"You have to see the trade imbalance between Japan and the United States — it's unbelievable," Mr. Trump said in a recent interview. "They sell to us, and we practically give them back nothing by comparison."

He added, "It's a very unfair situation."

Mr. Trump has criticized the military alliance between Japan and the United States as being one-sided, and he suggested in a March interview that Japan and South Korea should have their own nuclear arsenals so they would be less reliant on the security umbrella provided by the United States.

Hosting an April summit meeting intended to limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons, Mr. Obama lashed out.

"The person who made the statements doesn't know much about foreign policy, nuclear policy or the Korean Peninsula, or the world generally," he said, not mentioning Mr. Trump by name. But he acknowledged that foreign leaders had questioned him about the presumptive Republican nominee.

"It came up on the sidelines, I've said before, that people pay attention to American elections," Mr. Obama said. "Even in those countries that are used to a carnival atmosphere in their own politics want sobriety and clarity when it comes to U.S. elections."

More recently, Mr. Trump suggested that he would be willing to hold direct negotiations with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, in yet another challenge to a core Japanese security priority.

Mr. Trump's March comments led to an almost immediate response from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan. "Whoever will become the next president of the United States, the Japan-U.S. alliance is the cornerstone of Japan's diplomacy," Mr. Abe said.

Other Japanese officials have been even more forceful. The first week in May is generally regarded as a holiday in Japan, and top Japanese officials flood Washington for meetings. This year, many of those meetings focused on anxieties over Mr. Trump's remarks.

At one such meeting, Kenichiro Sasae, Japan's ambassador to the United States, joked that he was looking forward to hearing experts "explain how Emperor Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall of China and made the Mexicans pay for it," a reference to Mr. Trump's promise to build a wall at the Mexican border at Mexico's expense.

In a more serious vein, Mr. Sasae said he was disappointed by the isolationism expressed by some presidential candidates, another clear reference to Mr. Trump.

"I don't want to see that kind of United States," Mr. Sasae said. "I know that you know there has to be a debate about how to make the United States this strong, but the question is not whether you can be strong without a proper role in the rest of the world."

At another recent meeting, Itsunori Onodera, a former defense minister and a member of the Japanese House of Representatives, gave a lengthy list of what he characterized as Mr. Trump's misstatements. "I don't think there are any Trump supporters present here," he joked.

Mr. Onodera emphasized the ways that Japan supported Washington's priorities in the region and helped pay American expenses.

"Nothing is more important than the stability of East Asia," he said. "We don't want the U.S. political leaders to send out the wrong message."

Even so, some Japanese officials have been concerned that the Obama administration is too solicitous of China, Tokyo's great Asian rival.

"Whatever concerns there were about the Obama administration sometimes tilting toward China, those have been overwhelmed with what Trump is saying about Japan and our alliances," said Michael J. Green, who served as a senior adviser on Asia during the George W. Bush administration. "They're really worried."

Continue reading the main story

In private conversations, Japanese officials have said their only solace is that Mr. Trump is even more critical of China than he is of Japan.

Even if Mr. Trump loses, his ascent has led world leaders to worry that his "America first" platform is a harbinger of pressure for allies to pay up or make trade concessions in return for military protection.

Mr. Obama has himself insisted that allies share more of the burdens of military efforts in places like Libya and Syria, and has openly complained that even some European allies are "free riders." But Mr. Obama still accepts that the United States is an indispensable nation without whose leadership global problems fester and intensify. Administration officials do say that sometimes the United States must act solely for the security of other nations, a message they hope will reassure the Japanese.

Trump the Wall  Builder is busy at work in Ireland




Trump's climate change wall: Billionaire recognizes global warming to protect his golf course
https://www.rt.com/usa/344225-trumps-climate-change-wall/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

Donald Trump is planning to build another wall, this time to combat rising sea levels and protect his west of Ireland golf course from the effects of global warming - a phenomenon he has repeatedly denied even existed.

The billionaire businessman and presumptive Republican presidential nominee is applying for planning permission to erect coastal protection works at his golf course, Trump International Golf Links & Hotel Ireland, in Doonbeg, County Clare.

Trump's firm TIGL Ireland Enterprise Limited has filed an application with Clare County Council which explicitly cites global warming and its consequences — increased erosion due to rising sea levels and extreme weather this century — as the reasons the structure is needed, according to Politico.

This is in spite of the fact Trump doesn't believe in climate change and has publicly denied its existence on a number of occasions.

Trump has been blasted for his hypocrisy, with former South Carolina Republican Congressman Bob Inglis among those speaking out against his about turn and "deceitfulness".

"It's diabolical, Donald Trump is working to ensure his at-risk properties and his company is trying to figure out how to deal with sea level rise. Meanwhile, he's saying things to audiences that he must know are not true ... You have a soft place in your heart for people who are honestly ignorant, but people who are deceitful, that's a different thing," he told Politico.

The Sierra Club, America's largest grassroots environmental organization, also condemned his actions.

"Donald Trump clearly cares more about the fate of his golf courses than the health of the millions of families already affected by the climate crisis," said Adam Beitman, a spokesman for the Sierra Club told AP.

By the time of writing, Trump's campaign spokesperson had not commented on the controversy.

Just before Trump completed the purchase of the Irish golf club in 2014, it was hit by a storm, causing significant damage and erosion. Since then Trump has been trying to build coastal protection works to prevent further erosion.

This latest application is for a 1.7 mile (2.8km) barrier, or 'berm,' on a sand dune at Carrowmore Bay and includes a 242 page Environmental Impact Statement. It comes after the Irish national planning board denied special approval for the structure.

Trump has previously threatened to close the golf course if the wall is not built. Accounts filed in  2015 revealed the facility made a €2.5m loss in the first year of Trump's ownership.

Here's a quote from a 1997 New Yorker magazine article about Trump.  Note that he is palling around with Ghislaine Maxwell.  Anybody who follows the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile case, will recognize her as the woman who, reportedly, procures little girls for the perverts.  Hmm....


QuoteThe most direct but not exactly most serene way to travel to Mar-a-Lago, I discovered one weekend not long ago, is aboard Trump's 727, the same aircraft he gave up during the blip and, after an almost decent interval, bought back. My fellow-passengers included Eric Javits, a lawyer and nephew of the late Senator Jacob Javits, bumming a ride; Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of the late publishing tycoon and inadequate swimmer Robert Maxwell, also bumming a ride; Matthew Calamari, a telephone-booth-size bodyguard who is the head of security for the entire Trump Organization; and Eric Trump, Donald's thirteen-year-old son.

Growing fear inside GOP about Trump
By Eric Bradner and Phil Mattingly, CNN
Updated 0112 GMT (0912 HKT) June 6, 2016
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/05/politics/gop-fears-donald-trump-judge-attack/


Donald Trump rails against judge's 'Mexican heritage'

"Washington (CNN) -- Top Republican officials and donors are increasingly
   worried over the threat Donald Trump's attack on a judge's Mexican
   heritage could pose to their party's chances in November -- and about
   the GOP's ability to win Latino votes for many elections to come.
   Trump is under fire for repeatedly accusing U.S. District Judge Gonzalo
   Curiel, who is overseeing a lawsuit involving Trump University, of bias
   because of his Mexican heritage. Those concerns intensified Sunday
   after Trump said he would have the same concerns about the impartiality
   of a Muslim judge.
   House and Senate GOP leaders have condemned Trump's remarks about
   Curiel, while donors have openly worried that losing Latino voters
   could doom them in key down-ballot races. Other important party
   figures, including former Speaker Newt Gingrich, are urging Trump to
   change his combative, confrontational style before it's too late.
   The GOP's deepest fear: A Barry Goldwater effect that could last far
   longer than Trump's political aspirations.
   Goldwater, the Arizona senator who was the 1964 GOP nominee and a
   leader of the conservative movement, alienated a generation of
   African-American voters by opposing the Civil Rights Act -- opening the
   door for Democrats to lock in their support for decades. Republicans
   fret that Trump could similarly leave a stain with Latino voters.

   'Concerned'
   
   "I am concerned about that," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
   R-Kentucky, said Sunday.
   "America is changing. When Ronald Reagan was elected, 84% of the
   electorate was white," McConnell said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "This
   November, 70% will be. It's a big mistake for our party to write off
   Latino Americans. And they're an important part of the country and soon
   to be the largest minority group in the country."
   "I hope he'll change his direction on that," said McConnell, who first
   made the Goldwater comparison last week in an interview with CNN's Jake
   Tapper
.
   That hasn't happened yet. In interviews Sunday, Trump wouldn't back
   away from his assertion that Curiel's parents' birth in Mexico has left
   the judge angry over Trump's proposal to build a wall along the
   U.S.-Mexico border and biased in the legal case over Trump University.
   Trump even went further, saying on CBS' "Face the Nation" that he'd
   have similar concerns over a Muslim judge, since he has proposed
   banning all Muslims from entering the United States.
   Trump's remarks led to condemnations from the same leading Republicans
   that in recent weeks have embraced him -- and accepted that the party's
   fate in November is inextricably linked to his.
   "I don't agree with what he had to say," McConnell said.

   Trump plans Clinton foreign policy rebuttal

   "This is a man who was born in Indiana," McConnell said of Curiel. "All
   of us came here from somewhere else. Almost all Americans are either
   near-term immigrants like my wife, who came here at age 8 not speaking
   a word of English, or the rest of us whose ancestors were risk-takers
   who came here and made this country great. That's an important part of
   what makes America work."
   House Speaker Paul Ryan, just a day after announcing his endorsement of
   Trump, bashed him on a Wisconsin radio station.
   "Look, the comment about the judge, just was out of left field for my
   mind," Ryan said Friday on WISN in Milwaukee. "It's reasoning I don't
   relate to, I completely disagree with the thinking behind that."
   The criticism from McConnell and Ryan was predictable: Both preside
   over GOP majorities that are threatened thanks to competitive races in
   Latino-heavy states like Arizona, Nevada and Florida.
   More surprising was the condemnation from Gingrich, who has
   transparently jockeyed for a spot on Trump's ticket.
   "I don't know what Trump's reasoning was, and I don't care," Gingrich
   told The Washington Post
. "His description of the judge in terms of his
   parentage is completely unacceptable."
   Gingrich was even sharper on "Fox News Sunday," calling Trump's remarks
   "inexcusable."

   'One of the worst mistakes'

   "This is one of the worst mistakes Trump has made," Gingrich said.
   Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the Armed Services Committee chairman who
   has provided key Republican support for Trump's foreign policy stances
   and is also often named as a prospective vice presidential candidate,
   rebuked Trump's comments about the judge on ABC's "This Week."
   "I think that he's going to have to change," Corker said of Trump's
   overall behavior and campaign tactics.
   Trump's campaign downplayed the impact of his assertion that the
   judge's Mexican heritage could preclude him from delivering fair
   rulings in the Trump University case.
   A Trump official said the remarks are "no reason to celebrate, (but) no
   reason to panic" -- an indication there is concern inside the campaign
   but Trump's aides don't believe it's damaging long-term.
   Another campaign adviser laughed when asked if Trump officials can talk
   to the candidate about watching what he says.
   Alberto Gonzales, who led the Justice Department under President George
   W. Bush from 2005 to 2007, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Saturday
   that Curiel's Mexican heritage shouldn't be enough to disqualify him
   from overseeing the case. But, Gonzales said, Trump is entitled to a
   fair trial, and the appearance of impropriety could be enough for him
   to reasonably request that Curiel recuse himself.
   Trump thanked Gonzales for his support.

   Trump blames San Jose unrest on 'thugs,' 'illegals'

   Inside the Republican Party, campaigns and donor circles, fear over the
   damage Trump's remarks could do to the party's relationship with Latino
   voters was palpable.
   "Awful," a top Republican official said of Trump's attack on the judge.
   "We are all beside ourselves."
   The official went on to say that "you have to feel for Paul Ryan," who
   had just announced his support for Trump.

   Depth of concerns

   In a series of interviews with donors, fundraisers and congressional
   officials, the depth of the concerns about what Trump's latest attacks
   underscore become clear.
   "Honestly? My worst fear. Call me stupid -- I was one of the guys who
   figured he'd do the whole pivot thing," said one donor, referring to an
   often-used strategy of moving more to the middle after securing the
   nomination.
   The donor, who had been active for several candidates during the
   primary, said he was "ready to get in line" once Trump signed the
   joint-fundraising agreement last month with the RNC. The bold names
   associated with the joint agreement -- people like businessman Woody
   Johnson -- were enough of a sign, the donor said.
   Now? "Not so much."
   But it may be bigger than that, according to several GOP officials.
   Republicans are defending 24 seats in the Senate while holding a slim
   four-seat majority. While the House majority is significantly more
   robust -- 58 seats -- there are members in that chamber who saw their
   seats move into riskier positions the day Trump locked up the
   nomination.

   Why some Republicans are hesitant to trust Trump

   The solution -- one that top GOP officials on Capitol Hill have been
   repeating in the weeks since -- has been to make sure top donors dump
   cash into the down ballot races.
   Up to this point, they've done just that. One fundraiser with ties to
   one of the two primary GOP congressional super PACs said donors have
   been "burning up the phone lines" trying to figure out how to help
   protect GOP majorities in Congress.
   The primary Senate GOP super PAC, the Senate Leadership Fund, had more
   than $16.3 million on hand at the end of April, the last time numbers
   were reported with the FEC. The group raised more than $4 million in
   March and April alone -- a number that, according to the fundraiser,
   will increase "significantly" in the months ahead.
   The top House super PAC, the Congressional Leadership Fund, nearly
   doubled its 2015 fundraising in the first quarter of 2016 alone.
   "The concern is -- do we get to the point that all the money in the
   world doesn't matter?" asked another donor, who said his whole goal
   this cycle was to protect House and Senate candidates. "We're obviously
   not there right now, but stupid s--- like this really makes you wonder."
   Democrats are certainly trying to make each Trump comment sting. The
   party's House and Senate campaign committees are firing out a steady
   clip of press releases attempting to tie each vulnerable candidate to
   Trump. Democrats make clear those comments will be featured heavily in
   the fall in attack ads.
   Perhaps more noticeably, over the weekend, talks between top GOP
   figures about the future of the party have become more urgent. Several
   Republican officials pointed to McConnell's comments to Jake Tapper on
   CNN last week, where he first voiced concern about Trump's effect on
   Latino voters mirroring that of Goldwater's effect on black voters.
   Yet those same officials watched McConnell go to great lengths not to
   say that Trump's attacks on the judge in the Trump University case were
   racism.

   McConnell won't say if Trump's judge attack was racist

   "That was just painful," said one Republican official who served in
   George W. Bush's administration. The official added that the reality is
   McConnell -- and Ryan and every Republican in a leadership position or
   facing an election challenge -- "will be stuck dealing with the latest
   Trumpism every interview of every day, of every month until November."
   
   CNN's Jim Acosta contributed to this report.  "
