"Trump’s campaign website hacked by cryptocurrency scammers"

 

President Trump’s campaign website was briefly and partially hacked Tuesday afternoon as unknown adversaries took over parts of the page, replacing them with what appeared to be a scam to collect cryptocurrency. There is no indication, despite the hackers’ claims, that “full access to trump and relatives” was achieved or “most internal and secret conversations strictly classified information” were exposed.

 

The hack, first noted by Gabriel Lorenzo Greschler on Twitter, seemingly took place shortly before 4 PM Pacific time. The culprits likely gained access to the donaldjtrump.com web server backend and inserted a long stretch of obfuscated JavaScript producing a parody of the FBI “this site has been seized” message, which appeared over the normal content.

 

“the world has had enough of the fake-news spreaded daily by president donald j trump,” the new site read. “it is time to allow the world to know truth.”

The New York Times -  Trump Campaign Website Is Defaced by Hackers

today

President Trump’s campaign website was briefly taken over by hackers who defaced the site on Tuesday. ..

 

The text reads like something out of a Borat movie ...

Has anyone else wondered at a sitting president being able to use huge state resources for their own campaigning? Jazzing around in a huge plane for one.

USA TODAY - Donald Trump slammed Obama for using Air Force One for election campaigning. Now he does the same.

29 May 2019

Trump's campaign reimburses the government for a portion of the travel but in a mystery that has frustrated watchdog groups for decades, there is secrecy around how the White House accounts for Air Force One and other travel expenses. ...

 

"It's up to the White House to determine if the trip has a political purpose," said Brendan Doherty, a political scientist at the U.S. Naval Academy and an expert on presidential travel and fundraising. "We usually don't get a full picture of what that cost is."  ...

 

Trump criticized Obama for the practice in 2016.  

 

"Taxpayers are paying a fortune for the use of Air Force One on the campaign trail by President Obama and Crooked Hillary," Trump tweeted. "A total disgrace!"

 

Payment for non-official travel

Thanks for the info, Sideface. No surprise about the shadowy accounting and the normal hypocrisy, though!

Just saw an interview with Michael Wolff on Sky News who has written 2 books on Chump from within the White House and he reckons we should be talking about not a Biden win but how big the landslide is going to be.

Lets hope he's right.

Also, when asked if Chump would go quietly, he said that his attention span is so short he would almost be gone the day after the election and onto whatever he chose to do next.

Everything I read says Trump is closing the gap as we speak. So IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Real Clear Politics has 2016 vs 2020 poll comparison.

7 days out from the election, Clinton's poll advantage had collapsed to 1.9% and still heading down, Biden's polling (at 7.1% national average)  is 5.2% higher than Clinton's was at the same point.  A "fly in the ointment" is Rasmussen Reports which is giving Trump a 1% lead.  They called it right in 2016 based on their algorithm to assess "likely voters", poll turnout was low.  This time it looks like poll turnout will be high (by low US standards).  Other polling platforms have also changed to report "likely" rather than "registered" voters - so the RCP averages in 2016 and 2020 may not be comparable.  You could assume that a high turnout should favour Biden, but that may underestimate the motivation of Trump supporters - who are behaving like they're in a cult, which is probably true for many of them.

Even though Ivanka will probably beg Trump to give up, that she tired of the White House, Trump will take it before every court, every level, that he can.

Ivanka - or Melania?

I think Ivanka wants to be POTUS as well as Princess.  Melania wants to celebrate no Christmas in her own way - out of the public eye.

It is easy to confuse the two. They both look like Barbie dolls. Even Trump seems to mix them up sometimes. At least when it comes to who he wants to have sex with.

It's easy to tell if all 3 are together. Melania will be the one looking at him with disgust.

I think younger voters and black voters are turning out in droves and that means Chump is doomed.
