Donald Trump News for May 11, 2016

Hillary Clinton is unraveling quickly [New York Post]

It’s true – Hillary lost yet another primary to socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (West Virginia) last night, and yet, somehow, she remains comfortably ahead of Sanders and is a hare’s breath away from her party’s nomination. But, as the New York Post‘s Michael Goodwin notes, somehow everyone in the mainstream media thinks it is the Republican Party that is fractured and imploding, despite record turnout numbers for Donald Trump:

A liberal friend is very concerned about the Republican Party. He tells me that Donald Trump will make it impossible for anybody anywhere running under the “R” column to win election. Even a dogcatcher in Podunk is doomed!

The New York Times shows a similar concern. Surely written with furrowed brow, its front page worries because “Sparring in GOP Rises” and because “Rift Grows Wide as Republicans Abandon Trump.” It joins two other concerned lefties, the Huffington Post and CNBC, in declaring that the GOP is “unraveling.”

All stand ready to help sponsor a dignified funeral, but that won’t be necessary. Their reports of the Republican Party’s death are premature. Very premature. Read the rest of the GOP’s non-obituary here.

Will the gods speak on behalf of Trump? [Breitbart News]

It looks like the Trump campaign is about to get some divine intervention. Per The Associated Press:

Donald Trump may find it tough to get Republican leaders behind his campaign, but he’s got some faraway fans trying to get the gods on his side.

Around a dozen members of a right-wing Indian Hindu group lit a ritual fire and chanted mantras Wednesday asking the Hindu gods to help Trump win the U.S. presidential election.

While Trump has dominated the Republican primary race to decide the party’s candidate for the November election, his calls for temporarily banning Muslims from America and cracking down on terrorist groups abroad have earned him some fans in India.

“The whole world is screaming against Islamic terrorism, and even India is not safe from it,” said Vishnu Gupta, founder of the Hindu Sena nationalist group. “Only Donald Trump can save humanity.” Read more about Trump’s rising divine fan base here.

So, not ALL women hate Trump after all [The New York Times]

It’s never easy for the liberal op-ed writers at The New York Times (aren’t they ALL liberal?) to write anything positive about any Republican politician, let alone a presidential contender and unlikely frontrunner like Donald Trump. But even the “newspaper of record” has to admit that attempts by it and its fellow Lefty mainstream media co-horts to paint Trump as universally despised by the female sex are disingenuous because it simply isn’t true:

In conversations, many women who support Mr. Trump expressed similar defenses of their preferred candidate. He’s not sexist, he’s just not politically correct. He’s not a career politician, so he doesn’t stick his finger in the wind before he says something. He believes in treating women as tough as he treats men. The news media has distorted his message with cherry-picked sound bites. If he were sexist, would he have promoted so many female executives, including his daughter, within his own company? 

The writer cites polling data showing high negatives for Trump among women, but that figure falls dramatically among Republican women – many of whom will vote for him because they can’t stand Hillary Clinton. There’s more – and it’s actually a pretty fair treatment of Trump – here.

An Israeli’s take on Trump’s foreign policy objectives – he’s right [The National Interest]

Via Dr. Yitzhak Klein, PhD:

On limiting foreign interventions: Trump has got this right. Many Israelis were skeptical about the United States’ nation-building efforts in the Middle East from the start—from the Bush variety, which ended up handing most of Iraq to an Iranian proxy, to the Obama variety, which demolished an American ally and temporarily handed Egypt over to radical, authoritarian Islamists.

On U.S.-Iran relations: Trump’s words in praise of Israeli democracy are valued and are, of course, true. That’s not a reason for the United States to oppose Iran. Those reasons have to do with Iran, not Israel.

On putting America first, economically: Here again, Trump is correct. A nation’s domestic economic and social health is the foundation of its foreign power and should be its first concern. 

There’s much more, here.
