Mid-Term Elections November 2018 results showed a powerful response to Donald Trump political rallies touting white power. However, after suffering for two years campaign of insults and humiliation there was strong voice in the ballot boxes to stop that and enough is enough. The republicans were swept away from many congressional seats.
More women elected, first native Americans, first two Muslim women and many other firsts.

Adam Schiff’s name into vulgarity "So funny to see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not approved by the Senate!" the president said in a tweet Sunday.
The 13 Most Bizarre Things Donald Trump Apparently Believes
According to the president, you need ID to buy cereal and asbestos could have helped save the World Trade Center from 9/11.
If you've been conscious between 2015 and today, chances are you're aware that Donald Trump, the president, has pretty unorthodox beliefs. I'm not talking about the blatant racism and overt corruption that has marked his administration—I'm talking about the straight-up weird parts of Trump's worldview. Like how he hates sharks because they are "disgusting creatures" and once said, according to Stormy Daniels, "I'll donate to just about anything, but the only shark charity I would donate to is one that promised to kill all the sharks."

Becoming the most powerful person in the world hasn't altered his deeply odd perceptions. In an interview on Wednesday, Trump claimed, “If you buy a box of cereal—you have a voter ID.” Trump's apparent unfamiliarity with buying groceries falls in line with the sad fact that the wealthy and famous are often out of touch with the world of us plebeians—Trump's good friend Tom Brady tried his first strawberry at the age of 40, Hillary Clinton hasn't driven a car since 1996, and multiplecelebrities legitimately believe the earth is flat.
Still, despite our already incredibly low expectations for Trump, he is the president, and thinking about what he believes is a genuinely frightening exercise. So let's take a journey through the most fucked-up, dumb things the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful military legit believes:
1. You need ID to buy cereal
In an interview with the Daily Caller, Trump harped on one of his favorite issues: voter fraud. “If you buy a box of cereal—you have a voter ID,” the president said. “They try to shame everybody by calling them racist, or calling them something, anything they can think of, when you say you want voter ID. But voter ID is a very important thing.”
A regular person who visits a grocery store on a weekly basis could tell you the thing about cereal is not true. But how would Trump know otherwise? He grew up rich, which makes you wonder whether he's ever visited a grocery store at all.

2. Exercise uses up your body's finite energy
"He considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy," the New Yorker reported in 2017. And a biography of the president asserts:
After college, after Trump mostly gave up his personal athletic interests, he came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted.
Do I even have to debunk this?
3. Young people pay $12 a year for health insurance
Despite his promises of healthcare for everyone throughout his campaign, Trump has only made insurance more expensive for the average person during his time in office. Maybe that's because he never understood how much healthcare costs the average American—in a 2017 New York Times interview, the president said, "You’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan." Actually, insurance costs young people at least $100 a month.
4. Asbestos could have saved the World Trade Center
I shit you not, in 2012, Trumptweeted, “If we didn't remove incredibly powerful fire retardant asbestos & replace it with junk that doesn’t work, the World Trade Center would never have burned down.”
5. And the mob is the reason we think asbestos is bad
Per Politico, Trump asserts the following in his book, The Art of the Comeback:
I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal. Great pressure was put on politicians, and as usual, the politicians relented.

6. Environmentally friendly lightbulbs cause cancer
7. Sleeping is bad
Trump has often bragged about only sleeping four hours a night, and honestly, it shows. “Don’t sleep any more than you have to,” he said in his 2004 book, Think Like a Billionaire. "I usually sleep about four hours per night... and it gives me a competitive edge. I have friends who are successful who sleep ten hours a night, and I ask them, 'How can you compete against people like me if I only sleep four hours?' It can rarely be done."
8. "Email is for wimps."
In Think Like a Billionaire, Trump also warns against the evils of technology, foreshadowing one of his main 2016 platforms, "but her emails."
"Don't depend on technology," Trump advises. "If you have something important to say, look the person in the eye and say it. And if you can't get there, pick up the phone and make sure they hear the sincerity in your voice. E-mail is for wimps."
Next time Trump tweets, I hope he thinks about that.
9. Vaccines cause autism
In a 2015 GOP debate, Trump said, “I am totally in favor of vaccines," but nevertheless asserted the following misinformation about them:
"You take this little beautiful baby, and you pump—I mean, it looks just like it is meant for a horse, not for a child, and we had so many instances, people that work for me, just the other day, 2 years old, beautiful child went to have the vaccine and came back and a week later got a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic."
10. Wind power is bad because it kills birds
As he's established, Trump is not a fan of environmentally friendly energy. Just look at his musings on wind turbines:
gislature of American Samoa are officially non-partisan. Several seats in the House of Representatives were vacant at the time of the election.
Retaliation is a virus in the body of the American body politics and a stigma to the political process. Instead for the US representatives or Senators vote their conscious and the interests of his/her constituency they are intimidated through steps of retaliation to ignore all that and follow the orders of the orders of the party bosses or Donald Trump himself. Sad affairs and nothing to be proud of in the inner dealings of American politics. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, center, is followed by reporters as she arrives to vote on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, July 25, 2017. Murkowski voted no A Twitter admonishment from President Donald Trump didn't seem to faze U.S. Sen.

Donald Trump Will Punish Alaska People for Sins of Senator Lisa Murkowski. She crossed the line and did not follow my dictates. Wow. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski's health care vote draws White House ire After Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was just one of two Republican senators to vote against proceeding to debate on a health care bill on Tuesday, she received a phone call from Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke voicing President Donald Trump’s displeasure about her vote. The call, first reported by the Alaska News Dispatch, was confirmed by Murkowski’s office to ABC News. “This was a difficult conversation,” Murkowski later said in an interview with MSNBC. “What I told the president, what I have told the president since he was elected, was I'm here to help the people of my state.” The Interior Department did not respond to multiple requests for comment from ABC News. The Alaska News Disp...
Bernie Sanders Won America’s Largest Arab Community by Being Open to Them .. .. Bernie Sanders’ upset in the Michigan primary Tuesday can be attributed, in part, to a strong showing in Dearborn, Michigan, which has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the nation. Sanders won almost 60 percent of the vote there, besting rival Hillary Clinton. Apparently, something about Sanders resonated with residents. “Believing in something unpopular and fighting for those things is true courage and bravery. I feel personally connected to his message of humanism and peace,” Mason Hinawi, a high school student and first-time Dearborn Heights voter, told The Intercept about his support for Sanders. “I know a lot of Muslim people my age also taken by his message of peace and his welcoming tone.” An analysis by the Dearborn-based Arab American News showed that heavily populated Arab neighborhoods in the city went ov...
