He didn't take that ad out during the trial, and the ad didn't specifically say they (the five) should be executed, just that the people who carried it out should be. He did however say he thought they were guilty, which is daft but that case is so horrifying its probably down in the three hundred or four hundred most offensive things said about it.
Even if you excuse his comments as based on genuine emotion brought on by the vile treatment of the victim how about his actions since their acquital?

During the campaign he said "They admitted they were guilty. The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous."

What evidence he doesn't say, he just says they are guilty of the rape and other unspecified acts - how is that the due process he demands for Porter, Ailes, Roy Moore?

It's *almost* as if his motivations aren't on the level.
 
Ah the "infrastructure" plan has shown it's true purpose.


"The $1.5 trillion infrastructure proposal would give the interior secretary the authority to approve natural gas pipelines that cross the country’s national parks, changing the requirement that Congress authorize such projects.

The plan also aims to speed up the time that a state has to issue water permits - “section 401” certificates required under the federal Clean Water Act - needed for the construction of interstate natural gas pipelines."


I, for one, am shocked.
 
This is an awful idea on multiple levels

More admin overhead, less choice and harder work for the recipient, food allergies or other diet needs could make a box unusable and no fresh fruit/veg will add to health issues.

Saving money on food for poor kids but sure we can find cash for a bloody stupid parade.
 

Not only are there multiple inaccuracies in this tweet, prime among them not noting that in 2010 the Dream act died in the Senate due to Republican fillibuster, but also "Republicans want to fix DACA more than Democrats" is going to come as a hell of a surprise to most of his "anti-amnesty" supporters.


The beauty lies in the word "fix" - and what means to an individual in relation to DACA.
Destroying it is fixing it for many Trump supporters

Many of my patients are food insecure. Usually older folks who worked all of their lives.
This one really hits home for me

It's also not a $1.5 trillion deal in any way shape or form, when you look into it.

It's also based on the federal government offering 20% towards state projects - when traditionally that figure has been closer to 80%. The take-up will be exceptionally low.

"I'm going to be the infrastructure President"....
 
It's actually quite mad, we DESPERATELY need a complete overhaul of almost everything regarding transportation.


I honestly don't see what their end game is besides "make everyone rich richer". If it's that then they could REALLY be a bit *more* subtle about it.

This administration is a combination of the worst impulses of Trump's nationalism and the "establishment" GOP's urge not to have the government spend money, and CERTAINLY not on anyone who needs assistance.

A real infrastructure bill could pass both houses comfortably, but it would have to do so with possibly more Democratic votes than Republican - which means that even if Trump proposed it, Ryan and McConnell (especially Ryan) almost certainly wouldn't bring it to a vote, because if he passed a bill with a majority of Democratic votes, he'd be usurped from the speakership quicker than he could say "I haven't read the latest tweets"
