Trump’s demise has been predicted numerous times already in this campaign — after he kicked things off by calling Mexican immigrants “rapists’’ in his announcement speech, when he insinuated that an aggressive Fox news debate moderator was menstruating, and by suggesting in Rolling Stone magazine that Fiorina is unattractive: “Look at that face.’’ Those are just the most prominent examples.
“On the one hand, Trump isn’t helpful,” said Stuart Stevens, a longtime Republican consultant who helped run Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign. “On the other hand, if Trump is rejected, that is helpful. We’re in a state where Trump isn’t helpful. But I think he’ll be rejected. And I think that will be helpful.
“Trump’s an unstable character,” Stevens said. “Analyzing him is like analyzing Mike Tyson’s view of the world. I just don’t think it’s very productive or interesting. He’s unstable. He’s uninformed. And he has a microphone. That’s rarely a good combination.”

McGovern contended that the revelations included in the recent, anonymous New York Times op-ed, as well as journalist Bob Woodward's latest book, "Fear," should worry everyone and underscore that Congress needs to act.
"We've never experienced this before," he said. "This guy makes Richard Nixon look like he's stable, or even in terms of the corruption issues, he makes Richard Nixon look like a Boy Scout. There are serious problems with this administration, and Congress' job – no matter who's in the White House – is to live up to its oversight responsibilities."

A contestant in this year's Miss America contest slammed President Donald Trump during her onstage interview on Friday, according to the Associated Press.
"Donald Trump is the biggest issue our country faces," Miss West Virginia Madeline Collins told the judges. "Unfortunately, he has caused a lot of division in our country."
Since contestants responses were limited to 20 seconds, Collins did not go into further detail, the AP wrote.

U.S. to cut $25M in aid to hospitals serving Palestinians
The United States plans to cut $25 million in aid to six hospitals primarily serving Palestinians in Jerusalem, a State Department official confirmed Saturday.
The official said the decision followed a President Donald Trump-directed review of assistance to the Palestinian Authority and in the West Bank and Gaza "to ensure these funds were being spent in accordance with US national interests and were providing value to the US taxpayer."
"As a result of that review, at the direction of the president, we will be redirecting approximately $25 million originally planned for the East Jerusalem Hospital Network. Those funds will go to high-priority projects elsewhere."
Palestinians reacted angrily.
"This is not a formula of peacebuilding, this is a complete inhuman and immoral action that adopts the Israeli right-wing narrative to target and punish Palestinian citizens to compromise their rights to independence," said Ahmad Shami, a spokesman for Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
"Such an act of political blackmail goes against the norms of human decency and morality," added Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee.
Palestinian officials vociferously protested US President Donald Trump's December 2017 decision to recognize the disputed city of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. They accuse him of using aid as a coarse lever to force them back to peace negotiations with Israel.
The Trump administration this year cut funds to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees and scrapped around $200 million in payments by USAID to the Palestinians.

White House officials flagged Trump's behavior to psychiatrist last year
12 hrs ago

White House officials reached out to a noted Yale University psychiatrist last fall out of concern over President Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior.
Psychiatrist Bandy Lee, who edited the bestselling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President,” told the Daily News Thursday the staffers contacted her because the President was “scaring” them.
Lee’s revelation comes as Trump fumes in response to an anonymous op-ed about administration insiders White House tell-all by journalist Bob Woodward that claims there are grave concerns among the highest ranks of the Trump administration about the President’s judgment.
A pair of West Wing representatives contacted her because they believed the President was “unraveling.”
Trump defended his mental fitness in January, calling himself a “very stable genius” and “like, really smart.”
He made the claim in response to the release of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” which contained concerns from Trump’s senior aides about his mental fitness for office.
Although mental health professionals typically stay away from diagnosing public figures they’ve never actually evaluated, Lee and others have chosen to speak out about their concerns.
The Trump official behind the anonymous New York Times op-ed appears to confirm Lee and other experts worst fears, that the “root of the problem is the President’s amorality.” “Anyone who works with him knows he is not moored to any discernible first principles that guide his decision-making,” the unnamed writer adds.
Woodward’s book and the anonymous op-ed both paint Trump as a troubled, impulsive and dangerous man who has little regard for the rule of law or the power of the presidency.
Rossi said his analysis is based on Trump's public statements and is made in the context of political psychology.
“We’re in very dangerous territory,” he added.

The president went on to brag about his popularity, although nearly all public polls show that more Americans disapprove of his job performance than approve of it. “Our poll numbers are great, and guess what? Nobody’s going to come even close to beating me in 2020,” Trump said, as the sheriffs assembled behind him burst into applause.

Israel welcomes end of US funding for UN Palestinian refugee agency meanwhile it gets $4 billion/year free aid
Jerusalem (AFP) – Israel welcomed Saturday a US decision to end funding for the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), accusing the organisation which supports some five million Palestinians of perpetuating the Middle East conflict.
Israel and the United States have accused the nearly 70-year-old agency of maintaining the idea that many Palestinians are refugees with a right to return to the homes from which they fled or were expelled during the 1948 war that accompanied Israel’s creation, an idea they both oppose.
On Friday, Washington, which until last year was by far the agency’s biggest contributor announced it was ending funding to the “irredeemably flawed operation.”
“Israel supports the US move,” an official in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on condition of anonymity.
“Consolidating the refugee status of Palestinians is one of the problems that perpetuates the conflict.”
Palestinian ambassador Hossam Zomlot accused the United States of “reneging on its international commitment and responsibility” towards a body that was set by UN General Assembly resolution in 1949.
“By endorsing the most extreme Israeli narrative on all issues including the rights of more than five million Palestinian refugees, the US administration has lost its status as peacemaker and is damaging not only an already volatile situation but the prospects for future peace,” he said.
UNRWA now supports some five million registered Palestinian refugees and provides schooling to 526,000 children in the Palestinian territories as well as in camps in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.

Trump administration to end U.S. funding to U.N. program for Palestinian refugees
Karen DeYoung, Ruth Eglash 10 hrs ago
The Trump jedi ass kissing administration has decided to cancel all U.S. funding of the United Nations aid program for Palestinian refugees, part of its determination to put its money where its policy is as it seeks a recalculation of U.S. foreign aid spending and prepares its own Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.
Any such reduction would effectively eliminate, for most Palestinians, the “right of return” to land contested with Israel. More immediately, many regional foreign policy and security experts, including in Israel, say that slashing UNRWA’s budget, amid a call to “de-register” refugees, would worsen an already disastrous humanitarian situation, especially in Gaza, and sharply increase the level of violence.
In addition to contributions to UNRWA, the United States has provided direct, bilateral assistance to the West Bank and Gaza. Last week, the State Department announced that more than $200 million in already-appropriated aid for this year would be “redirected” elsewhere. The cuts in funding, along with shifts in policy, including recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, are part of a major reshaping of Middle East policy under President Trump.
While few in the region believe that right of return could ever be fully exercised, it has long been considered a core issue to be negotiated in any peace agreement. The administration cannot unilaterally change U.N. rules for who is considered a refugee eligible for UNRWA aid — which now includes descendants of those originally ousted from their land and homes.
Although Europeans and Arab countries also contribute substantial amounts, the United States has long been the largest individual donor to UNRWA, pledging about one third of the agency’s $1.1 billion in 2017 budgetary and emergency contributions. Early this year, the administration cut a scheduled UNRWA payment of $130 million in half to $65 million. Under the new decision, that will be the last donation.
The United States currently provides nearly $4 billion in mostly military annual aid to Israel.
As it readies its peace plan, now 18 months in the making with no release date in sight, the White House is seeking to take the right of return off the table, as Trump has said he eliminated the future of the contested city of Jerusalem from negotiations late last year when he recognized it as the capital of Israel.
Israel’s official position is that there is no right of return and that such a notion would lead to the eventual demise of the jedi state. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said repeatedly that UNRWA perpetuates the problem instead of trying to solve it, and has suggested that UNRWA could gradually be incorporated into the main U.N. refugee organization, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
