In endorsing incumbent Rep. Dan Donovan (R-NY) over his Republican opponent, convicted felon and former Rep. Michael Grimm, President Donald Trump reminded voters about the shambles surrounding a recent Alabama Senate race, which ended with a Democrat winning a Senate seat over a Republican — and accused child molester — for the first time in a quarter-century.
“Very importantly, @RepDonDonovan will win for the Republicans in November … and his opponent will not. Remember Alabama,” he tweeted Wednesday evening.
There is no one better to represent the people of N.Y. and Staten Island (a place I know very well) than @RepDanDonovan, who is strong on Borders & Crime, loves our Military & our Vets, voted for Tax Cuts and is helping me to Make America Great Again. Dan has my full endorsement!

Very importantly, @RepDanDonovan will win for the Republicans in November…and his opponent will not. Remember Alabama. We can’t take any chances on losing to a Nancy Pelosi controlled Democrat!

While both candidates have attempted to paint themselves as friends of Trump in the Staten Island and Brooklyn district, Trump likely wants to steer clear of Grimm, as he attempts to make a resurgence after serving seven months in prison for a federal tax fraud conviction.
Despite Trump’s glowing endorsement of Donovan as someone who “voted for Tax Cuts and is helping me to Make America Great Again,” Donovan actually opposed the Republican tax reform measure and voted against it in every form, according to Politico. The congressman even told the media at one point that he couldn’t support the legislation because it was a “tax hike on the people I represent.”
In the Alabama Republican Senate primaries for Attorney General Jeff Sessions former seat, Trump endorsed incumbent candidate Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL), who lost the GOP nomination to Roy Moore.
While the White House was hesitant to embrace Moore — who was twice unseated as the state chief justice, had a history of making controversial statements and was accused by several women of sexual misconduct when they were teens and Moore was in his 30s — Trump eventually gave him his full-throated support ahead of the election which ended in a shocking victory for Democrat now-Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL).
I’m not sure what Nancy Pelosi ever did in the House that differed a great deal from the policies and methods of dozens of other Democrats in seeking to pass laws and influence our society. Trump is employing a thinly veiled dog whistle in constantly invoking her name to stir fear and outrage. Her crime? She’s a woman. An “uppity”, smart, independent, driven woman. A conservative man’s worst nightmare. And probably a conservative woman’s also.
Remember, the only people on Earth that hate and fear women more than Republican, conservative men are Republican, conservative women.
“Do not ask what those teenage panties can do for you. Ask what you can do for those teenage panties!”
Donald Trump is the new JFK!
Trump:
I am sure his tune will change if Nancy takes impeachment off the table (Again!!!)
Yes, voters! Please “Remember Alabama!”, where Donald Trump endorsed pedophile Roy Moore once he got the GOP nomination for Senate.
And if you don’t vote for the GOP, I’m gonna break you in half like a little boy!
Will Roy Moore campaign for Donovan?
