Trump is afraid of stairs it is a well documented topic, it’s fact and despite the ridiculousness of it, this fear is very real.
No one broke it down quite like CNN did. Have to give them the credit for finally putting the pieces together and confirming this bizarre phobia our president has.
When this story first was released CNN caught a lot of heat. As expected. It is not easy to report on harsh truths. But this wasn’t nitpicking, this is the leader of our nation we are talking about. Back then I knew it was a huge red flag. Everyone else seemed to just brush it off, until now.
The Fact That Is Trump Afraid Of Stairs Is Now A Real Problem
Unnamed White House officials have mentioned the extra difficulties this phobia creates for Presidential aids and secret service members, especially overseas.
“Most vessels are a no-go”, explained one correspondent, “we’ve had to have lifts installed on the outside and inside of some of our carriers just for photo ops. Ladders terrify (Trump)”.
Installing extra lifts aren’t the only extra expense created Trumps fear of stairs.
One unnamed source from Washington claims booking and traveling is a nightmare. “If there is no elevator in the building, we have to relocate, and sometimes we would be unaware of this until we had arrived.”
Although it is rare, Trump is not alone with this fear.
It is called “Bathmophobia”. Literally dozens are effected each year.
But here is the thing, the reason it all becomes concerning. Most psychologists agree that one who has Bathmophobia into adulthood likely is regressing, or never progressed correctly through childhood. In fact, 80% of Bathmophobia patients are discovered to have more serious underlying mental disorders based around insecurity.
These are not traits you want in a leader. Especially one who prides himself on being “strong”. Yet he needs to hold someones hand to go down a ramp.
Suppose we should have seen this one coming. Look at his strange concern for Obama’s pace down a flight of stairs. Just watching people run down stairs gets Trump all freaked out!
So Trump being afraid of stairs is not only real, but now White House officials are confirming that it is becoming an annoyance. I guess every president has their tick.
SHOCK VIDEO: Thugs are seen throwing fireworks at what appears to be a sleeping homeless man on Malcolm X Blvd in #Harlem. #DeBlasiosNYC@NYCMayor@NYPDNews
NYPD is now on the lookout for the 4 teens involved in the recorded murder of a sleeping homeless man in Harlem.
Detectives say it is clear there are atleast 4 involved in the incident, but it is likely that there were others in the vicinity who played a role as well.
The homeless man was dismembered from the blast. Currently the city is unable to identify him.
NYPD is asking for any and all tips leading to the capture and arrest of the attackers.
Unfortunately, this is not the first of these types of attacks. It has turned into a game among certain urban neighborhoods. “Homeless Hunting”.
“New York City announced a multi-agency crackdown on illegal firework Tuesday, after people shooting them off in neighborhoods across the city has been a rampant problem for several weeks. Video from around 4 a.m. Monday shows one of the recent incidents, in which two men are seen throwing a firework at a 66-year-old homeless man who was sleeping. The firework then explodes. The NYPD is investigating, saying the man is in stable condition.” – (Taken from ABC 7 Description On Youtube Video)
“Video from around 4 a.m. Monday shows one of the recent incidents, in which two men are seen throwing a firework at a 66-year-old homeless man who was sleeping.
The firework then explodes. The NYPD is investigating, saying the man is in stable condition. A $2,500 reward is being offered for information that could lead to an arrest.
It is just one of more than 13,000 complaints involving illegal fireworks received by the city this month — compared to just 32 between June 1 and June 22 in 2019 — leaving many fed up and sparking a drive-by protest with horns honking outside Gracie Mansion overnight.
In response, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the creation of a task force to crack down on illegal fireworks sales.” – ABC 7
As peaceful protests turn to violent riots across the country, United States officials need everyone to remember the Coronavirus pandemic is still showing no signs of slowing down. Thousands of protesters marched across the country brushing shoulders and wearing masks that Dr. Faucci says will have “little to a negative impact if anything”. The United States government has issued an executive order to enforce state border shutdowns in at least 14 states across the country, with possibly more to come.
Although protesting is an American right, many of these protests are turning into opportunities for riots and looters. The government is still trying to flatten the curve, and these protests may have undone all efforts. State and border shutdowns across states may be the only way the United States government can combat COVID-19 as well as possibly the most destructive riots in modern history.
Canada and England have already implemented similar precautions and it appears the United States government is following suit. With some states reporting unproportionally high numbers of confirmed cases compared to others, the protocol does seem to be appropriate.
The measure is extreme however.
According to White House officials, the National Guard is currently preparing for deployment in the next 96 hours. The goal is to have all personnel in place by the beginning of next week, and to have the target states completely closed off from the rest of the country. This includes stations being built at all major interstates and roads leaving the state, personnel in vehicles guarding less frequented roads, as well as guards outside of pharmacies and grocery stores to ensure that elderly citizens are granted early entry.
Although unlikely, National Guard personnel is also preparing and being deployed to be on standby in case a riot breaks out in a neighborhood of a shutdown state.
What Do The State Border Shutdowns Mean For You?
There are only a handful of states that will be shutdown, from inside sources we know it will be some if not all of the following states:
California
New York
Colorado
Iowa
Louisiana
Massachusetts
New Jersey
Oregon
Washington
Illinois
Florida
Georgia
Maryland
Minnesota
If your state is not on this list there will likely not be a state shutdown or deployment from the National Guard.
If your state is on this list, prepare for possible changes in the coming weeks. If you were planning on leaving your state or visiting one on the list, keep in mind that you may not be able to leave/return until the state shutdowns are lifted. Visit your grocery store and get any medications filled as soon as possible. Once the news breaks stores will be once again flooded with panicked citizens.
When National Guard is deployed your state will be temporarily under Martial Law. It is in your best interest to adhere to curfews and carry your ID at all times.
Airports and sea ports will of course not be in operation either in a state shutdown. Vacations and travel should be planned accordingly.
We know for certain that California, Massachusetts, Washington and New York will be experiencing some sort of state shutdowns. The other states on the list are being considered because they are either home to a large metropolis area, or are in close proximity to a state with high infection numbers.
Be prepared, stay safe, and keep yourself updated during these next 96 hours.
Another unfortunate event happened during the NYC fireworks this week, leading to an arrest last night. A 15 year old Brooklyn resident has been identified as the suspect for throwing a firework into a Brooklyn residence. The teen was charged with arson and assault in the first degree. However the DA has already noted that more charges may arise as the investigation continues.
Once the video was posted to Snapchat it instantly went viral across Twitter.
Many people were displeased with the actions and talked about how dangerous something like this could be.
When reports came out and the 15 year old was arrested, he learned just how dangerous it can be. The family of 5 that live in the Brooklyn residence were home at the time. Along with over $8,000 in property damages, their 18 month old child was struck in the face and had to be hospitalized.
The family is separately suing in civil court for the lifetime physical scaring that the infant will probably incur.
As of now the 15 year old Brooklyn teen remains unnamed, though he is in custody.
As it now stands the Coronavirus stimulus package is set to be in effect by the end of the weekend. The Senate has made it clear they are on board and will work through the weekend to finalize the proposal. The delay comes in the form of further debate regarding small business bailouts, but the details on the direct stimulus package to Americans and who will qualify for a stimulus check has been finalized.
Two rounds of direct payments to American taxpayers
First check on April 6th, second check on May 18th
Each check will be in the amount of $1,000
These checks will NOT be garnished, even if you owe state or federal tax
Those currently on Social Security are eligible to receive checks
Checks are to be claimed using an online portal and then will be mailed out
Who Qualifies For Stimulus Checks
To qualify for a stimulus check you must meet the following criteria:
You must be a tax paying American with a SSN over 18 years old
You must currently be employed (see below for exceptions)
You must not have earned more than $950,000 in taxable income for the year of 2019
If spouses file together only one needs to be employed for both to receive checks
There are some exceptions for unemployed Americans:
Exceptions For Unemployed Americans
There are a few exceptions to the employment stipulation to ensure contracted workers, recently laid-off workers, and the elderly are taken care of as well.
If you are currently unemployed you can still qualify for a stimulus check if:
You lost your job directly due to Coronavirus shutdowns
You made at least $2,500 in taxable income for 2019
You are on disability or receive Social Security
You are over 62 years old
Of course many people are arguing that this won’t be enough to stop the bleeding.
The cash stimulus package will help but if Washington is going to impose a lock down on day-to-day operations then they must also work out a way to help the average American make it through the pandemic. All should be able to qualify for a stimulus check.
If you are living like most of the world right now, you are likely living a quiet life in quarantine. Maybe you still have your job, maybe you don’t, either way you are likely bored. And times are tough. Why not get into a little stock market trading? The stock market is currently so volatile that with just 50 bucks you could easily make a few hundred in a couple days if you make the right decisions. Currently the 3 best stocks on Robinhood are stocks that don’t require a day trading account to profit from.
Now I will clarify that these aren’t expensive stocks but they aren’t penny stocks either, these are real companies that are set to explode for their own respective reasons. And right now their stock is under $25. All of them will be $70 stocks by the end of quarantine. It’s way higher odds than DraftKings, trust me.
1. Inovio ($INO) – Currently ~ $14
Inovio is the biotechnology company that is literally going to save the world from Corona.
Just last week Inovio was an unknown lab in Pennsylvania, this morning and so far this afternoon it is currently the most popular stock on the market. The volume of buys rival that of Amazon or Tesla. The numbers are actually record-breaking.
A month ago Inovio was trading for less than $4 a share. Then it was announced that they would be one of the four biotechnology labs working towards the Coronavirus vaccine. They soon started going up in value as day traders used the hype to build up momentum and short sell.
THEN it was announced today that the first trials were a huge success, which lead to this-
Up 24% in one day. A Friday no less.
But this has gone past a short sellers wet dream now. This is a real stock with a lot of bull potential. Inovio has been publicly traded since 1998. For many years in the 2000’s they were regularly traded at a value between $10-$15.
With the oppurtunity of press that would be created by curing Corona, you can be sure this stock will continue to climb.
2. Eldorado Resorts ($ERI) – Currently ~ $17
An unfortunately timed takeover of Caesars Entertainment coupled with the onset of the Coronavirus brought Eldorado Resorts from a stock that was holding strong at $70, to a stock that looked like it was going to fall below $5 a share.
The real crusher for Eldorado of course was the order from the Federal Government that all casinos and resorts would be closed for the unforeseeable future. As with all companies in the casino industry, if you can’t operate you can’t profit. But the story doesn’t end for Eldorado at all here. Easily one of the best stocks on Robinhood right now.
On top of that, new stimulus packages from the Trump administration are targeted to help casinos, airlines, and cruise-lines specifically. Analysts say Eldorado will undoubtedly find it’s why back to the $60-$70 range, and could possibly make a run at being a 3 digit stock by the end of 2021.
Eldorado makes it on the list of best stocks on Robinhood due to its after-hour potential and the ability to trade your shares early in the morning when they spike without having to perform a day trade.
3. Overstock ($OSTK) – Currently ~ $10
While every company took a huge dip in share values last month, Overstock was one of the companies that was not able to retain their value during the quarantine, but increase it.
With Amazon shutting down 2-day prime delivery on all items in an effort to focus on shipping out essentials, online retailers such as Wayfair, Target, Best Buy and Overstock have tried to fill this newly opened need for quick delivery. And for the first time, they can actually compete with Amazon while their focus is elsewhere.
Companies like Wayfair and Overstock have implemented quick shipping policies on non-essential items to see actual quarterly growth from the quarantine. With so many people working from home, there are many Americans in need of non essential items such as desks, notebooks, and other home office items.
Overstock CEO, Lori Greiner
Overstock is not the only online retailer using this opening to maintain company growth, but Overstock is the only one with a stock below $25. Currently at around $10. After doubling in value last month, most experts agree that Overstock will continue to thrive through this quarantine. Making a great opportunity for a short term buy and sale for a quick profit.
Pick one, invest, make your money!
Best stocks to buy on Robinhood for under $25 coming soon.
Early Friday morning two members of the National Guard were struck by lightning. The two were deployed to monitor and keep the peace during the DC protests. I’m not a very religious man, but if there was ever a time God was saying “get it together down there”, I think this might be it.
Two National Guard members deployed to patrol Washington, DC amid widespread protests in the city were injured by a lightning strike early Friday morning, a report said.
The members were near Lafayette Square when lightning hit the area near them and they were injured by the strike, NBC News reported.
They were rushed to an area hospital with serious injures, but expected to survive, according to the report. – Source
Many people did warn that bringing in the National Guard would be dangerous for everyone involved. But I don’t think anyone had something like this in mind.
“Two people thought to be National Guard members deployed during protests in Washington, D.C. were hospitalized after lightning struck the area of their post not far from the White House early Friday, a fire official said.
The strike and possible injuries were reported shortly after midnight inside a perimeter anchored by Lafayette Square, the site of George Floyd demonstrations this week, according to Vito Maggiolo, spokesman for the district’s fire and emergency medical services department.
The two were hospitalized in non-life-threatening condition, he said.” – NBC
So very much a freak accident. A lightning striking a human let alone to National Guard members patrolling a protest, well, lets just say it is very low odds. Luckily it appears both of these National Guard members, despite being struck by lightning, are both in non-life-threatening condition and are expected to make a full recovery.
Even 8 months after the election, it seems there are still Trump supporters who refuse to let go. But what are they hanging on to? A study led by New York City Psychologist Dr. Susan Kolod has come to one conclusion. By a large percentage, Trump supporters have daddy issues. Or unresolved feelings with their fathers. This goes for both men and women.
“Susan Kolod, a psychologist in New York who specializes in relationships and sexuality, has a theory about why so many women voted for Trump. It all goes back to what they look for — and how they act — in romantic relationships.
“In my experience, there are a lot of women [my friends and patients] who are very successful, assertive, competent.
And around their spouses, they become obsequious and dependent,” Kolod said in a phone interview this week. “It’s not just married people; singles, too. There’s still a wish to be taken care of.” – Source
Kolod’s findings contain an important notion. “There’s still a wish to be taken care of”.
We all have heard of women who have had absent or distant fathers seek out the approval of men. Or have a warped idea on what manliness truly is.
According to Kolod, the same applies to men.
If a man or young male had an absent or distant father, they too will seek out approval or mentorship from some other source as a father figure.
His outrageous claims of keeping everyone safe, doing what he wanted, and getting away with everything.
This is what the demographic of people with daddy issues see as “manly”.
And so when they see Trump rant on TV they feel safe. They feel secure. And most of all, they feel acknowledged.
Susan goes on to say
“Trump is a “familiar” image of a president because he’s a man — and even more so because of the type of man he is.
“Trump comes across as a very phallic male,” Kolod says. When he brags about being able to do whatever he wants to with women, Kolod says, it creates a powerful image that resonates with some women.
“There’s this sense of: He can do anything; he can get away with it. That’s the kind of guy who can protect us.” – Source
Kolod’s evidence doesn’t just start and end with theories and concepts.
She had on the ground research from actual Trump supports who basically called him daddy on camera.
Common Trump Supporters Have Daddy Issues
“Donald Trump is the “strict dad” that America needs, said a 56-year-old emergency-room nurse last week at a rally in Melbourne, Fla.
“He’s the kind of man you would want to be your dad,” a Los Angeles Trump supporter, whose son was killed by an undocumented immigrant, said in July.
(If these aren’t Trump supporters don’t have daddy issues then I’m out of answers)
“He’s the father figure I always wanted,” a hairstylist told the Boston Globe in December. “I feel like he’s protecting me.”
“Trump reminds me so much of my father,” Jerry Falwell Jr. told Fox News” – Source
As you can see, it is men and woman alike who have fallen for this concept of seeing Trump as their “daddy”.
And it’s also pretty obvious that these Trump supporters have daddy issues. Why does America need a “strict Dad”? That’s just weird and slightly disturbing.
What’s even more interesting, is that this could have been Trumps plan all along. Pray on all the men and women who have a gapping hole and need for a father figure in their life.
“Donald Trump’s employees view him as a “patriarch” more than a boss, Trump Organization Executive Vice President Michael Cohen told the Jewish Chronicle Online.
And yet the Trump children and Chelsea Clinton are routinely deployed to remind voters that their parents are, in fact, parents. “Yes, Donald Trump is my father,” the Trumplings imply as they praise him, “and he can be yours, too.” – Source
The fact that so many people who voted for Trump without realizing their true motivations is even further proof that most Trump supports have daddy issues.
It would also explain why the Republican party was so divided. And why so many liberals went to vote for him even after voting for Obama.
“Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos has, in fact, taken to calling Trump “daddy.” Jamiel Shaw, Sr., the father of a high school student killed by an illegal immigrant, told CNN that he thinks of Trump “as a father figure” even though the two are similar in age.
“He’s the kind of man you would want to be your dad,” Shaw said. “He’s the father figure I always wanted,” supporter Catherine Leafe told the Boston Globe. “I feel like he’s protecting me.” NationalReview article
That was during the campaign.
This disgusting and deranged devotion takes an even more perverse identity now that we are half a year into his presidency.
However creepy it might be to vote for someone cause you want them to be your daddy, is one thing.
What happens though, if this daddy figure turns out to reject you? What happens when all of those endearing promises are broken?” – Source
Ilhan Omar announced to the public today that her father had died due to complications that stemming from Coronavirus.
“Rep. Ilhan Omar’s father died on Monday from complications of coronavirus, the congresswoman announced.
The Minnesota Democrat released a statement that said Nur Omar Mohamed had passed earlier in the day after battling the virus that has sparked a worldwide pandemic. He was 67 years old.” – NY Post
This is obviously extremely tragic news and hopefully politics can be put aside for a moment and sympathy can be shown toward Ilhan Omar and her family during this time.
Ilhan Omar released the following tweet yesterday in regards to her father’s death:
إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Surely we belong to God and to him shall we return.
It is with tremendous sadness and pain to say goodbye to my father, Nur Omar Mohamed. No words can describe what he meant to me and all who knew and loved him. pic.twitter.com/gb7q0gMXG2
There is usually no need to speak ill of the dead. Especially someone like Ilhan Omar’s father who died from Coronavirus at the age of 67. He was someone most people in the political sphere were unaware of until his diagnosis. It wouldn’t make much sense anyway to speak badly about Ilhan Omar’s policies and beliefs, her father is not a representative.
Still, some people on Twitter think that his social beliefs and alleged practices still warrant discussions on Twitter, even immediately following his death.
A good man would teach his children not to marry each other!
The validity of the allegation of Ilhan Omar marrying her own brother is still undecided, according to Snopes.
Regardless of the suspicions behind Ilhan Omar and her brother, or views on her platform, her father still died from Coronavirus very recently.
Sorry, hon. Bad news. If he was worshipping Allah, then he was idol-worshipping and that's blasphemy.
Good news is that, you know this now. You can repent of your sins and turn from your lawlessness. You ask for forgiveness, salvation and faith through Christ Jesus.

I think that at least for now, comments like the one above are definitely not in good taste.
First revealed on Instagram by @doriwaymer, evidence has leaked that the Trump campaign team posted a casting call to Backstage for black males aged 22-35 to attend his rally in Tucson for $250 each.
Other requirements included wearing Trump gear and participating in the rally (Though that was a given).
Backstage is a platform used by freelance actors, models and other entertainers to find gigs.
Incase people think this is photoshop, you can Google it yourself. Here is a video below for when that eventually gets removed from Google.
According to inside reports from Today’s Five sources, the posted ad was supposed to be on the backend. Aka the area where only listed guild actor members can access.
However, since the offer was only posted for $250, it ended up on the front end for the general public to apply for.
@doriwaymer reached out to Backstage about the Trump listing and received a reply that the ad was removed from the website. Under the terms that there was no entertainment aspect of the listing.
Here is the full caption written by @doriwaymer:
“I don’t usually post stuff like this directly to my page but I’m just beyond shocked. I’m an actor and have been out of work due to the Coronavirus since March. I don’t know what pushed me to go look at backstage this morning, but I logged on and found this while scrolling. While millions of actors and artist have been unemployed for months and are facing at least another 8 months of an industry shutdown due to the pandemic, the Trump campaign is using Backstage (a platform actors and artist use to find auditions and jobs) to find and pay black people to attend his rally’s. BIG YIKES…… PLEASE VOTE! Vote like lives depend on it because at this point, they do! iwillvote.com
Lil update
“Hey Dori! We just wanted to reach out and give you an update on your recent post. Thank you for the concern about this posting on Backstage. This notice was never approved by Backstage and was removed within a couple hours for violating our policies. We do not allow casting notices promoting attendance to promotional events, they must have a performance component.” -backstage Boom”
