Quote:Elizabeth Neumann, Trump’s former assistant secretary for counterrorism and threat prevention at DHS, recently told Charlie Sykes on The Bulwark podcast that she distinctly remembers when she felt she had to cut loose.

“The point at which my position changed and I said ‘No at this point you are culpable’ was after El Paso,” she said, referring to the August 2019 attack by a white man who killed 20 people and injured dozens more at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas. Echoing Trump’s language, the shooter wrote in a manifesto that “this attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”

“Post-El Paso, there is no excuse,” she said. “The correlation was so clear that this individual carried out this attack because of this language” that Trump had used. She continued, “We see it on full display this summer, it is part of my own process of coming to grips with the fact that I could not vote for him and not just decide to do a write-in candidate but to vote for Joe Biden is realizing how dangerous his rhetoric is and his unwillingness to change. It is so clear to me that his values, what he cares about is himself, he cares about his political power, he cares about winning, and at the sacrifice of people dying. I just cannot.”

Quote:“The picture that perhaps emerges most starkly from the figures and tax schedules is of a businessman-president in a tightening financial vise. “Most of Trump’s core enterprises report losing millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars year after year.”

“His revenue from “The Apprentice” and licensing deals is drying up; he has sold nearly all the stocks that now might have helped him plug holes in struggling properties. “And within the next 4 years, more than $300M in loans — for which he is personally responsible — come due.”

“The records go much further to revealing the conflicts created by Trump’s refusal to divest his business interests while in the WH. His properties have become bazaars for collecting money directly from lobbyists, foreign officials and others seeking face time, access or favor.”
