Invest in You: Ready. Set. Grow.

If you ask any Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate what is the most significant fiscal accomplishment of the Trump presidency, the overwhelming answer would be the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA.

When passed in December 2017, the TCJA did not have majority American support. Despite this lack of early support, the GOP believed that once the tax bill was fully implemented, the American taxpayers would be impressed with their large tax savings, and public opinion on the TCJA would become overwhelmingly positive.

To that point, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., dismissed early criticism, saying, “We’ll see how unpopular it is when people start noticing they’re paying less in taxes, the economy’s growing, there are more jobs and opportunity.”



Well, April 15 is here, tax returns are being filed and Americans remain unconvinced of the equity and the value of the TCJA.

Results from a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll said just 17% believe their own taxes will go down. By contrast, 28% believe they’ll pay more, 27% expect to pay about the same, and 28% don’t know enough to say.

Unfortunately for McConnell, Americans did not rejoice at the small incremental change in their monthly take-home pay, made possible by the changes in withholding tables.

A Morning Consult/Politico poll taken in December 2018 reported that, of those polled, only 23% saw an increase in their take-home pay, and 60% did not. Now, as Americans file their returns, they similarly are not seeing anything that will improve their opinion of the TCJA.

As of the end of March, the IRS paid out $6 billion less in total refunds this year compared with last, and the average tax refund amount is $20 less than last year. This does not look like the huge tax reduction promised to middle-class America.



Yes, I know the reality is that most Americans did, in fact, receive a tax reduction, with estimates of average tax savings from $1,000 to $2,000 per return filed. But in taxes, as in most political things, perception is reality. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said the TCJA was “simply theft — monumental, brazen theft — from the American middle class and from every person who aspires to reach it.”

Sixteen months since the TCJA passage and now well into the 2018 filing season, it appears the American public agrees.

It cannot be overstated that what also continues to drive these negative poll numbers is a core belief that the income-tax system benefits the rich at the expense of the middle class. Polling has begun on a number of Democratic presidential candidates’ proposals that would increase taxes on the richest Americans. The results are not good for the wealthy.

Almost all these proposals have majority support, with the wealth-tax proposal of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., earning 74% approval. Interestingly, some of the proposals also have majority Republican support.

“Americans who believe the tax system is rigged for the rich and against the middle class want the system fixed. They clearly do not believe the fix can be found in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.”
-Heidi Heitkamp, former U.S. senator (D) from North Dakota

The Republican tax bill architects will argue that the opinions reflected in these poll numbers are misguided, and that the TCJA and the current tax burden on wealthy Americans is not widely understood.

But as President Ronald Reagan once said: “If you’re explaining, you’re losing.”

Americans who believe the tax system is rigged for the rich and against the middle class want the system fixed. They clearly do not believe the fix can be found in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. That is bad news for any Republican candidate, including President Donald Trump, who want to make the TCJA the centerpiece of their argument for reelection.

Trump campaign to report $30 million haul – ABC News
Trump campaign to report $30 million haul – ABC News

President Donald Trump‘s reelection campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to figures it provided to The Associated Press.

The haul brings the campaign’s cash on hand to $40.8 million, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in a campaign.

The Trump campaign said nearly 99% of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26.

Trump’s fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8 million in the first quarter — its best non-election year total. Combined, the pro-Trump effort is reporting $82 million in the bank, with $40.8 million belonging to the campaign alone.

Trump formally launched his reelection effort just hours after taking office in 2017, earlier than any incumbent has in prior years. By contrast, former President Barack Obama launched his 2012 effort in April 2011 and had under $2 million on hand at this point in the campaign.

Obama went on to raise more than $720 million for his reelection. Trump’s reelection effort has set a $1 billion target for 2020.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement that Trump “is in a vastly stronger position at this point than any previous incumbent president running for re-election, and only continues to build momentum.”

Trump’s fundraising with the RNC is divided between two entities: Trump Victory, the joint account used for high-dollar gifts, and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, the low-dollar digital fundraising operation known internally as “T-Magic.” The campaign is set to launch a traditional “bundling” program — which it lacked in 2016 — in the coming weeks. Bundlers are mid-tier donors who bring in contributions from their associates.

Together, the Trump entities have raised a combined $165.5 million since 2017.

Trump is benefiting from the advantages of incumbency, like universal name recognition and his unrivaled position atop the Republican Party.

Among Democrats, dollars are divided across a candidate field of well more than a dozen, while the Democratic National Committee remains in debt and has suffered from being dramatically outraised by the RNC in recent months.

Bernie Sanders topped the Democratic field in the first quarter, raising slightly more than $18 million, followed by Kamala Harris with $12 million and Beto O’Rourke with $9.4 million. Trump is reporting a haul of $30.3 million.

Republicans have trailed Democrats in online fundraising ever since the medium was invented roughly two decades ago. But Trump has closed the gap, driving small-dollar donors who make recurring donations to the GOP like the party has never seen before. According to RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump’s campaign has already had eight seven-figure fundraising days this year, and has taken in money from more than 1 million new online donors since Trump’s inauguration — including 100,000 this year.

The Republican committee said it is planning on spending $30 million on maintaining and growing Trump’s email list alone, recently expanded its headquarters space to an annex in Virginia and will soon invest in developing an app.

In 2015, Trump swore off outside money, declaring in his opening speech: “I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists’. I’m not using donors’. I don’t care. I’m really rich.”

He quickly reversed course on high-dollar donations after he won the GOP nomination, bowing to the financial pressures of running a general election campaign, and he’d already raised millions online through the sale of merchandise like his signature red Make America Great Again hats.

Trump gave or loaned $66 million to his 2016 campaign, but has yet to spend any of his own cash for his reelection effort. Aides don’t expect that to change.

China says US treats Latin America like its ‘backyard’ – ABC News
China says US treats Latin America like its ‘backyard’ – ABC News

Beijing fired back at the U.S. on Monday after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized China‘s role in Venezuela as prolonging the crisis there.

Pompeo’s accusations were “unfounded” and “deliberately drove a wedge” between China and Latin America, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a regular briefing.

“For a long time, the United States has regarded Latin America as its own backyard to pressure, threaten and even subvert political power in other countries at every turn,” Lu said, adding that “some American politicians have been harping on one string” in order to “smear China across the world.”

Pompeo said last Friday that China’s financing of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government helped “precipitate and prolong” the country’s crisis. He accused China of investing more than $60 billion of “no strings attached” funds that were used for actions such as crushing pro-democracy activists and bankrolling ineffective social programs.

“I think there’s a lesson, a lesson to be learned for all of us: China and others are being hypocritical calling for non-intervention in Venezuela’s affairs,” Pompeo said. “Their own financial interventions have helped destroy that country.”

Hyperinflation, shortages of food and medicine and other hardships have caused more than 3 million Venezuelans — about one-tenth of the population — to flee the country in the last few years.

President Donald Trump’s administration, which recognizes opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela’s interim president, has been trying to remove Maduro from power. China, meanwhile, is a close ally of Maduro and has urged other countries to not intervene in Venezuela’s affairs.

Mueller: George Conway reveals the key phrase to look for – AOL
Mueller: George Conway reveals the key phrase to look for – AOL

Attorney General William Barr is expected to release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in the coming days and conservative attorney George Conway says there’s one key phrase to look for. 

In his summary of the findings, Barr claimed Mueller found no evidence of collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. He wrote: 

“As the report states: ‘[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.’”

But Conway ― husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway ― shared a tweet from former prosecutor and CNN legal analyst Elie Honig that pointed out there was more to that quote: 

Conway has been a fierce Trump critic despite his wife’s role at the highest levels of the administration. Last month, the president called him a “total loser” on Twitter and Conway fired back with:

*** It’s Tax Day! Need we say more? Experts suggest for 2019: Check your withholding! ***

Fireworks are expected this week from the Justice Department’s release of the 400-page report by special counsel Robert MuellerRobert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud choice of Mueller to lead Russia probe MORE. But the latest attention-getting headlines President TrumpDonald John TrumpOmar says she has faced increase in death threats since Trump tweet Trump rips into Pelosi after ‘puff piece’ ’60 Minutes’ interview Trump revived attacks on sanctuary cities to distract from Mueller report release: report MORE stirred up deal with whether he’ll transport migrants from the southern border to live in the nation’s sanctuary cities — communities he assails because they refuse to cooperate with federal efforts to detain and deport undocumented people.

 

The White House has not seen a copy of the Mueller report, but ABC News reported on Sunday that the president’s team has been briefed.

 

While Trump’s public narrative is that Mueller “exonerated” him of alleged conspiracy and collusion, a four-page letter released March 24 by Attorney General William BarrWilliam Pelham BarrTrump revived attacks on sanctuary cities to distract from Mueller report release: report We’re about to see the full Mueller report, but will it change anyone’s mind? George Conway suggests Mueller found evidence of collusion MORE stated that Mueller’s discussion of the evidence will paint a more complex picture of the president’s actions as well as the decisions of some of those serving him:

 

“The Special Counsel states that ‘while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.’ ”

 

To appeal to his core supporters and to dwell this week on what he can control, the president prefers to talk about controversial immigration actions he might make, even if his ideas are criticized, blocked in court or tossed in a West Wing drawer.

  

The New York Times: The president revived the idea of sending immigrant detainees to sanctuary cities in part to distract from the pending Mueller report, according to sources close to Trump.

 

The Hill: Five things to look for in the Mueller information.

 

Politico: How experts, defenders, critics and news media have prepared to digest the Mueller report.

 

NPR: Barr says redactions from Mueller’s report will be made within four categories, including grand jury material; information tied to ongoing prosecutorial cases; matters of sensitive intelligence; and personal information gathered about people deemed peripheral to the investigation. But Democrats in Congress will push hard to see whatever is hidden.

 

“I don’t care about the Mueller report.” — Trump.

 

The president says the subject that rivets him is immigration and a crisis at the southern border. On Friday, a White House spokesman played down a news report that the administration twice weighed the pros and cons of transporting thousands of migrants to sanctuary cities in districts that represent Democratic foes.

 

But Trump celebrated the idea his team initially sought to bury, and on Saturday tweeted that he’s within his executive authority and the law, an assertion that directly contradicted some administration lawyers, members of Congress and immigration law experts outside the government.

 

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday said the White House would explore all ideas within the law to address the rising number of migrant families coming to the United States.

 

“The president is actually trying to enforce laws, not go around them,” she told ABC News. “We’re a country of laws and we have a president who supports that and is not asking anybody to do anything outside of those bounds.”

 

Numerous mayors in self-designated sanctuary cities immediately said they would welcome migrant families, although the president’s detractors and allies seemed to concur that the president’s offer to set migrant families up in communities that would not deport them made little sense if Trump’s intention is to deter Central American and Mexican families from trying to enter the United States.

 

The Wall Street Journal editorial board: Sanctuary city illogic.

 

“Like so many issues we are forced to talk about during this presidency, this isn’t a real idea or a real proposal, it’s just another scare tactic.” — San Francisco Mayor London Breed.

 

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie ThompsonBennie Gordon ThompsonTop Dem: Trump’s 9/11 tweet a ‘simplistic’ attack Homeland Security chairman sees no way Trump’s idea to transfer migrants to sanctuary cities is legal Watchdog: Custodial staff alleged sexual harassment in lawmakers’ offices MORE (D-Miss.) said Trump’s proposal is not legal (The Hill). Other Democratic congressional leaders condemned the latest immigration idea as a public relations stunt by the president that treats families and children as pawns (The Hill).

 

The Washington Post: Federal courts have blocked almost every move Trump has ordered on immigration in at least 25 rulings in at least seven courts around the country.

 

The New York Times: However, on Friday a federal court in a temporary ruling sided with  the administration to permit asylum-seekers to be housed in Mexico rather than across the border in the United States. Trump tweeted, “Finally, great news at the Border!”  

 

Reuters: Also on Friday, the administration entered into a court settlement to reunite 2,700 children in Central America with their parents in the United States, and to allow them to remain in the United States.

LEADING THE DAY

POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: In the world of 2020 politics, the weekend belonged to Mayor Pete ButtigiegPeter (Pete) Paul ButtigiegDemocratic proposals to overhaul health care: A 2020 primer Buttigieg slams Electoral College for overruling popular vote ‘twice in my lifetime’ Buttigieg calls for ‘a new American spring’ in campaign launch MORE. After a meteoric rise over the past month, culminating in a $7 million fundraising quarter and glowing press, Buttigieg officially announced his presidential bid back home in South Bend, Ind., vowing that he can beat President Trump in a one-on-one matchup

 

“I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern, millennial mayor, but we live in a moment that compels us each to act. … It calls for a new generation of leadership.”

 

“It’s time to walk away from the politics of the past and toward something totally different.”

 

The speech, which he delivered before 10,000 people, came amid a moment for the 37-year-old. The latest edition of New York Magazine features him on the cover and he routinely draws strong reviews from top Democrats. David Axelrod, who served as a top adviser to former President Obama, tweeted that his kick-off event was “very impressive,” adding that his rise is “real.” And take note: Buttigieg raised over $1 million after delivering his remarks on Sunday.

 

However, with increased attention comes increased scrutiny as a seven-year legal drama stemming from the early days of his mayoral tenure is set to play out in front of a national audience. Jonathan Easley reports that an Indiana judge will rule soon on whether to release five cassette tapes of recorded conversations between South Bend police officers, the next phase in a legal drama that has consumed Buttigieg’s administration.

 

In 2012, only six months into his first term, Buttigieg was sued for racial discrimination by the city’s first African American police chief, who had been demoted for listening to the conversations between officers on the tapes. The controversy has stoked racial tensions in South Bend, cost the city millions of dollars in legal fees and settlements, split the police force and lingers as a persistent political problem for Buttigieg.

 

The Washington Post: Buttigieg says he can beat Trump in 2020.

 

The Hill: Buttigieg: “I don’t even know all the reasons why this is going so well.”

 

Politico: MIA from Beto O’Rourke’s (D-Texas) campaign: Big policy ideas.

Trump says Boeing should fix, then re-brand Max jets – ABC News
Trump says Boeing should fix, then re-brand Max jets – ABC News

President Donald Trump is offering some unsolicited advice to Boeing, manufacturer of the troubled 737 Max jet.

Trump tweeted Monday that if he were in charge of Boeing, he would “FIX” the plane, “add some additional great features, & REBRAND the plane with a new name.” He adds: “No product has suffered like this one.”

Trump — who brands his hotels, golf courses and buildings with the Trump name — tweeted sarcastically, “what the hell do I know about branding, maybe nothing (but I did become President!)”

Airlines and countries around the world have grounded the Boeing 737 Max or banned it from airspace after an Ethiopian Airlines crash last month. A crash involving the same model happened off Indonesia in October.

Trump once owned a short-lived airline: Trump Shuttle.

    Nadler floats idea of Stephen Miller taking questions from Congress over immigration – Fox News
    Nadler floats idea of Stephen Miller taking questions from Congress over immigration – Fox News
    Video

    Does Stephen Miller have too much influence over Trump administration policy?

    Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on Sunday said White House aide Stephen Miller, “who seems to be the boss of everybody on immigration,” should appear in front of Congress and try to explain recent developments in policy, including the idea to send migrants from the border to sanctuary cities.

    Nadler told CNN that he learned from “whistle-blowers” that Miller was behind the idea to place the illegal immigrants in these cities.

    White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed to “Fox News Sunday” that President Trump’s prospective plan to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities is undergoing a “complete and thorough review,” days after Democrats who have fought to protect illegal immigrants from federal authorities characterized the possible move as a dangerous stunt.

    Trump has grown increasingly frustrated over the situation at the border, where tens of thousands of immigrant families are crossing each month, many to claim asylum. His administration has attempted several efforts to stop the flow and he recently shook up the top ranks of the Department of Homeland Security.

    The idea to ship immigrants to Democratic strongholds was considered twice in recent months, but the White House and Department of Homeland Security said the plan had been rejected.

    Byron York: Five arguments the Mueller report won’t settle – Washington Examiner
    Byron York: Five arguments the Mueller report won’t settle – Washington Examiner

    Attorney General William Barr has promised to release a redacted version of the Mueller report this week. It will of course consume the political conversation for days, but even now it is clear that, as much as the report might be talked about, it will not settle the main arguments that have raged about the Trump-Russia affair for more than two years. Here are five debates that won’t be resolved, no matter how much of the report Barr makes public:

    1. Collusion. On the face of it, Barr’s summary of Mueller’s conclusion could not be clearer: The evidence gathered by the special prosecutor does not show that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia to fix the 2016 election. Barr included two brief quotes from the Mueller report on collusion: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities” and “the evidence does not establish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference.” So on the question: Will Mueller show that collusion occurred? The answer seems a pretty straightforward no.

    But that is not the end of it. Immediately upon the release of the Barr summary, some of the president’s accusers began moving the goalposts. What Mueller really said was that the evidence did not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that there was no conspiracy or coordination. Maybe there will be evidence that shows collusion but does not meet that high legal standard. Or maybe Mueller said that the evidence did not establish that criminal collusion had taken place. Maybe there’s some other sort of collusion that Mueller did find. And Mueller did not say, at least in the snippet of his report quoted by Barr, that there was no evidence whatsoever of conspiracy or coordination. So, maybe there is some evidence that shows some sort of collusion by some sort of standard that Trump’s critics might adopt.

    2. Obstruction. This is a guarantee: Some readers of the Mueller report will swear that it proves the president obstructed justice, while others will swear it proves he did not obstruct justice. Mueller himself has made sure that will happen by not making what Barr called a “traditional prosecutorial judgment” on the obstruction question. Why Mueller did that is not clear; perhaps it will be revealed when the report is released. Barr said Mueller “views as ‘difficult issues’ of law and fact concerning whether the president’s actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction.”

    Then Barr included this from Mueller on obstruction: “while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” That alone will be enough for Trump’s adversaries to conclude that he obstructed justice: Look! Mueller specifically declined to exonerate Trump! On the other hand, less partisan types remain baffled by what Mueller meant. Not exonerate him? What prosecutor does that? When a prosecutor investigates someone for two years and in the end decides not to charge him with any crime, does the prosecutor then write an exoneration letter? That’s not the way things usually work. On the other hand, Trump defenders will surely say that Mueller a) investigated Trump, and b) did not accuse him of any crime. That’s as much of an exoneration as one gets in these investigations.

    3. Impeachment. Some Democrats had hoped that the Mueller report would give them cover for impeaching the president. I was undecided, they might say, and then I saw the special counsel’s overwhelming evidence against the president, and I knew it was my duty to impeach. Some of those Democrats also hoped that the Mueller report would serve as a road map to impeachment, in effect doing for Congress the work of discovering and organizing evidence against the president.

    But it appears Mueller won’t make it easy for Democrats. Of course, they can impeach the president for any reason they choose, if they have the votes in the House. But it seems unlikely the Mueller report will make impeachment an unavoidable conclusion for Democrats. In the end, it’s more likely the Democrats who want to impeach Trump will want to impeach Trump after Mueller’s report, and the Democrats who oppose impeachment will continue to oppose it.

    4. Investigating the investigation. Many Republicans, long convinced that the Trump campaign did not conspire or coordinate with Russia, have instead sought to uncover the events surrounding the decision by U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies to investigate the Trump campaign in 2016. It’s been hard finding out what happened. Rep. Devin Nunes, when he was chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, shook loose a lot of information, but much remains unknown to the public. Now, those Republicans are counting on an investigation by Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz to reveal more. And they are hoping that President Trump will declassify documents that could shed new light on the matter. One place they are not looking for answers is the Mueller report.

    5. Why a special counsel? Some Republicans question whether there was really a need for a special counsel to investigate Trump-Russia. First, they cite the fact that there was no underlying crime. There was no crime specified in Mueller’s original scope memo, and Mueller could never establish that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia. Second, they point to the circumstances of Mueller’s appointment, when fired FBI director James Comey leaked confidential documents in order to set off an uproar that he hoped would result in the appointment of a special counsel. As it turned out, things went according to Comey’s plan. But was a special counsel really necessary to investigate the crime that did not occur? Like so many others, don’t look for that argument to be resolved by the Mueller report.

    Pelosi appears to mock Ocasio-Cortez over reliance on Twitter for support

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tried to tamp down the perceived influence of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive freshman Democrats, saying their wing in Congress was “like five people.”

    Speaking with CBS News’ Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes,” Pelosi said the 29-year-old congresswoman from New York didn’t have a significant impact on the Democratic Party. The House speaker also said she rejected socialism “as an economic system.”

    “You have these wings, AOC and her group on one side,” Stahl told Pelosi, to which the 79-year-old replied: “That’s like five people.”

    “No, it’s the progressive group, it’s more than five,” the interviewer pushed back. Pelosi contended that she herself is a progressive.

    The speaker added that she believes Congressional Democrats “by and large … know that we have to hold the center, that we have to go down the mainstream,” and said she “reject[s] socialism as an economic system.”

    “If people have that view, that’s their view,” she said. “That is not the view of the Democratic Party.”

    When pressed on whether Congress has been productive, she said Democrats regained control of the House only three months ago, and that things were moving. She added: “The power of the Speaker is awesome.”

    President Trump responded to the interview by tweeting it was a “puff piece,” and said Pelosi “has passed no meaningful Legislation.”

    US is said to water down demand that China curb subsidies amid push for a trade deal – CNBC
    US is said to water down demand that China curb subsidies amid push for a trade deal – CNBC

    <!– –>

    World Economy

    U.S. negotiators have tempered demands that China curb industrial subsidies as a condition for a trade deal after strong resistance from Beijing, according to two sources briefed on discussions, marking a retreat on a core U.S. objective for the trade talks. The world’s two biggest economies are nine months into a trade war that has cost billions of dollars, roiled financial markets and upended supply chains.

    U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has slapped tariffs on $250 billion worth of imports of Chinese goods to press demands for an end to policies — including industrial subsidies — that Washington says hurt U.S. companies competing with Chinese firms. China responded with its own tit-for-tat tariffs on U.S. goods.

    The issue of industrial subsidies is thorny because they are intertwined with the Chinese government’s industrial policy.

    Beijing grants subsidies and tax breaks to state-owned firms and to sectors seen as strategic for long-term development. Chinese President Xi Jinping has strengthened the state’s role in parts of the economy.

    In the push to secure a deal in the next month or so, U.S. negotiators have become resigned to securing less than they would like on curbing those subsidies and are focused instead on other areas where they consider demands are more achievable, the sources said.

    Those include ending forced technology transfers, improving intellectual property protection and widening access to China’s markets, the sources said. China has already given ground on those issues.

    “It’s not that there won’t be some language on it, but it is not going to be very detailed or specific,” one source familiar with the talks said in reference to the subsidies issue.

    A representative for the White House referred Reuters to the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office, which did not respond to a request for comment.

    “If U.S. negotiators define success as changing the way China’s economy operates, that will never happen,” said the other source with knowledge of the trade talks.

    “A deal that makes Xi look weak is not a worthwhile deal for Xi. Whatever deal we get, it’s going to be better than what we’ve had, and it’s not going to be sufficient for some people. But that’s politics,” that source said.

    China pledged earlier this year to end market-distorting subsidies for its domestic industries but offered no details on how it would achieve that goal, three people familiar with the trade talks told Reuters in February.

    Mixed messages

    One of the key sticking points in the negotiations is the removal of the $250 billion in U.S. tariffs. It is broadly expected in the trade community that U.S. negotiators want to keep some tariffs on Chinese goods, which Washington sees as retaliation for the years of damage done to its economy by Beijing’s unfair trade practices.

    The role of the state firms may benefit the United States in another part of the trade deal. The Trump administration wants China to make big-ticket purchases of over a trillion dollars of U.S. goods in the next six years to reduce its trade surplus.

    The companies likely to make the purchases are the state-run firms, both sources said.

    “The purchasing, for example, reinforces the role of the state sector because the purchasing is all being done through state enterprises,” one of the sources said.

    Another point of contention between the two countries, telecommunications, may drive China to increase the state’s role rather than reduce it, the source said.

    Pressure from the United States on allies to reduce cooperation with Chinese telecommunications champions such as Huawei Technologies could push the government into raising state support to develop technology at home.

    Decades of friction

    Subsidies and tax breaks have been a source of friction between the two countries for years.

    Washington says Beijing has failed to comply with its World Trade Organization obligations on subsidies that affect both imports and exports.

    China has taken steps to address some U.S. concerns in cases brought before the WTO. It has also begun to publicly downplay its push to dominate the future of high-tech industries under its “Made in China 2025” policy, although few expect it to jettison those ambitions.

    But the USTR complains of a catalog of other subsidies and supports, including preferential access to capital and land. The United States says China has failed to disclose subsidies as required by the WTO. Washington has detailed more than 500 different subsidies it says China applies in notifications to the WTO.

    The scope of China’s local government subsidy programs is largely unknown, and even the Chinese negotiators have said in recent discussions they do not know the details of all those programs.

    “China continues to shield massive sub-central government subsidies from the scrutiny of WTO members,” the USTR said in a February 2019 report to Congress on China’s WTO compliance.

      CNN town halls with Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson: Highlights – CNN

      Businessman Andrew Yang said Sunday that he was confused by the support he has received online by some white nationalists, something he disavowed.

      Yang, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, has curiously received support on online message boards, as well as more mainstream sites like Reddit, from a series of white nationalist accounts. Part of the reason, the campaign believes, is because he has tweeted about demographic changes.

      “I disavowed any of that support,” Yang said Sunday. “I don’t want anyone that has an agenda different than that of this campaign. We’re trying to solve the problem.”

      Yang joked about the support, too.

      “I don’t look much like a white nationalist. It’s been a point of confusion,” he said to laughs, adding that one reason his campaign believes he has been getting the support is because he once retweeted a New York Times report that addressed the impact opioids are having on white communities in the Midwest and South.

      Yang wrote in his book, “The War on Normal People,” that the group he worries about most in America is poor whites, something that is also believed to have encouraged support from white nationalists.

      “In the context of my book, I was saying, how will this tribalism and violence manifest itself. Poor whites who felt like they had no future and then that violence would emerge in large part because that group would become increasingly angry and distressed,” he said. “That’s the context of the book.”

      American Airlines extends cancellations through Aug. 19 – AOL
      American Airlines extends cancellations through Aug. 19 – AOL

      CHICAGO, April 14 (Reuters) – American Airlines Group Inc said on Sunday it is extending Boeing Co 737 MAX cancellations through Aug. 19, leading to about 115 daily canceled flights, or 1.5 percent of its daily summer flying schedule.

      In a letter to employees and customers, Chief Executive Doug Parker and President Robert Isom said they believe the 737 MAX will be recertified before Aug. 19, but they want to ensure reliability “for the peak travel season and provide confidence to our customers and team members when it comes to their travel plans.”

      Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft was grounded worldwide in March following a fatal crash on Ethiopian Airlines that killed all 157 aboard, just five months after a similar crash on Lion Air that killed all 189 passengers and crew.

      American Airlines owns 24 MAX jets and is awaiting delivery of 16 more this year.

      Chicago-based Boeing has been developing a software upgrade for an anti-stall system under scrutiny in both crashes.

      Parker and Isom said they are “confident” in Boeing’s impending software updates and new training proposals, and remain in continuous contact with regulatory authorities over the MAX recertification process.

      Once the aircraft is recertified, which the executives said they expect will happen “soon,” American plans to initially bring its MAX aircraft back on line as spares to supplement its operation as needed during the summer. (Reporting by Tracy Rucinski; editing by Grant McCool)

        Trump campaign to report $30 million haul – AOL
        Trump campaign to report $30 million haul – AOL

        WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign is set to report that it raised more than $30 million in the first quarter of 2019, edging out his top two Democratic rivals combined, according to figures it provided to The Associated Press.

        The haul brings the campaign’s cash on hand to $40.8 million, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in a campaign.

        The Trump campaign said nearly 99% of its donations were of $200 or less, with an average donation of $34.26.

        Trump’s fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8 million in the first quarter — its best non-election year total. Combined, the pro-Trump effort is reporting $82 million in the bank, with $40.8 million belonging to the campaign alone.

        Trump formally launched his reelection effort just hours after taking office in 2017, earlier than any incumbent has in prior years. By contrast, former President Barack Obama launched his 2012 effort in April 2011 and had under $2 million on hand at this point in the campaign.

        Obama went on to raise more than $720 million for his reelection. Trump’s reelection effort has set a $1 billion target for 2020.

        Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement that Trump “is in a vastly stronger position at this point than any previous incumbent president running for re-election, and only continues to build momentum.”

        Trump’s fundraising with the RNC is divided between two entities: Trump Victory, the joint account used for high-dollar gifts, and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, the low-dollar digital fundraising operation known internally as “T-Magic.” The campaign is set to launch a traditional “bundling” program — which it lacked in 2016 — in the coming weeks. Bundlers are mid-tier donors who bring in contributions from their associates.

        Together, the Trump entities have raised a combined $165.5 million since 2017.

        Trump is benefiting from the advantages of incumbency, like universal name recognition and his unrivaled position atop the Republican Party.

        Among Democrats, dollars are divided across a candidate field of well more than a dozen, while the Democratic National Committee remains in debt and has suffered from being dramatically outraised by the RNC in recent months.

        Bernie Sanders topped the Democratic field in the first quarter, raising slightly more than $18 million, followed by Kamala Harris with $12 million and Beto O’Rourke with $9.4 million. Trump is reporting a haul of $30.3 million.

        Republicans have trailed Democrats in online fundraising ever since the medium was invented roughly two decades ago. But Trump has closed the gap, driving small-dollar donors who make recurring donations to the GOP like the party has never seen before. According to RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump’s campaign has already had eight seven-figure fundraising days this year, and has taken in money from more than 1 million new online donors since Trump’s inauguration — including 100,000 this year.

        The Republican committee said it is planning on spending $30 million on maintaining and growing Trump’s email list alone, recently expanded its headquarters space to an annex in Virginia and will soon invest in developing an app.

        In 2015, Trump swore off outside money, declaring in his opening speech: “I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists’. I’m not using donors’. I don’t care. I’m really rich.”

        He quickly reversed course on high-dollar donations after he won the GOP nomination, bowing to the financial pressures of running a general election campaign, and he’d already raised millions online through the sale of merchandise like his signature red Make America Great Again hats.

        Trump gave or loaned $66 million to his 2016 campaign, but has yet to spend any of his own cash for his reelection effort. Aides don’t expect that to change.

        Pelosi appears to mock Ocasio-Cortez over reliance on Twitter for support

        House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., tried to tamp down the perceived influence of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressive freshman Democrats, saying their wing in Congress was “like five people.”

        Speaking with CBS News’ Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes,” Pelosi said the 29-year-old congresswoman from New York didn’t have a significant impact on the Democratic Party. The House speaker also said she rejected socialism “as an economic system.”

        “You have these wings, AOC and her group on one side,” Stahl told Pelosi, to which the 79-year-old replied: “That’s like five people.”

        “No, it’s the progressive group, it’s more than five,” the interviewer pushed back. Pelosi contended that she herself is a progressive.

        The speaker added that she believes Congressional Democrats “by and large … know that we have to hold the center, that we have to go down the mainstream,” and said she “reject[s] socialism as an economic system.”

        “If people have that view, that’s their view,” she said. “That is not the view of the Democratic Party.”

        When pressed on whether Congress has been productive, she said Democrats regained control of the House only three months ago, and that things were moving. She added: “The power of the Speaker is awesome.”

        President Trump responded to the interview by tweeting it was a “puff piece,” and said Pelosi “has passed no meaningful Legislation.”

        Trump campaign raises $30 million in first quarter – NBC News
        Trump campaign raises $30 million in first quarter – NBC News

        WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s campaign raked in $30 million in the first quarter of 2019 and had more than $40 million cash on hand, amassing a record war chest and far outpacing the field of Democratic candidates heading into the 2020 race, according to the campaign.

        Combined with $46 million raised by the Republican National Committee, the full Trump re-election effort is expected to have a grand total of $82 million in the bank, with the campaign doubling what it had at the end of last year.

        Trump’s total is more than the top two Democratic candidates combined — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who pulled in $18.2 million for the quarter and California Sen. Kamala Harris, who took in $12 million.

        In all, the eight Democratic campaigns that have reported their totals ahead of Monday’s filing deadline have raised a combined $65.8 million, although none of those candidates started raising money as early as the Trump campaign.

        As the incumbent, Trump already has certain advantages when it comes to raising money. But the fundraiser-in-chief has taken this traditional benefit further than any of his predecessors. He is the only president to ever file re-election paperwork the evening he was inaugurated, and his team has been steadily seeking donations ever since.

        By comparison, former President Barack Obama had not announced his 2012 re-election plans until after the first quarter had passed in 2011. Over the first two years of the Trump administration, his campaign had brought in nearly $130 million, easily beating out any other sitting president at this stage.

        The Trump-Pence ticket has a head-start over the crowded field of Democrats vying for their party’s nomination, something the campaign is quick to point out. After a primary campaign, “we expect them to be bruised, battered, and broke,” a senior campaign official told NBC News. The bigger fundraising picture for the Trump effort will be revealed once the campaign files its quarterly report with the FEC Monday, including details about how much and where the campaign has spent thus far.

        Trump’s 2020 setup is far more traditional than his first presidential bid, when he even pledged to self-fund his run. “I don’t need anybody’s money. I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich,” he said during his 2015 launch, after coming down the escalator at Trump Tower.

        Now, with the full support and resources of the RNC, the president’s campaign is planning to launch a “bundling” program for super-donors to help bring in more money from wealthy supporters in their circles.

        Trump’s entire 2016 campaign brought in $333 million. At this pace, their second attempt will easily outraise that. Campaign manager Brad Parscale believes they may spend $1 billion this time around, which would be three times more than what it cost last cycle.

        Aides attribute the huge first quarter haul, in part, to the end of the Mueller investigation and Attorney General Bill Barr’s four-page letter that stated the special counsel did not find a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian officials to influence the 2016 election.

        Immediately after it was released, Trump’s 2020 staffers launched a strategy to capitalize on the positive headlines for the president. They blasted fundraising emails, text messages, new videos and even created new merchandise for the campaign website featuring the top-line summary from Barr.

        “We typically do not give numbers on individual fundraising pushes, but the fundraising in the aftermath of the Barr letter ranks among our very strong fundraising efforts. Our supporters were rightfully frustrated by two years of Democrat lies,” a Trump campaign spokeswoman said.

        The timing also likely played a part. The first quarter deadline ended March 31, well before any version of the Mueller report was sent to Congress or made public. The redacted, nearly 400-page version is expected to be released in the coming days.

        April 14 at 5:28 PM

        SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of this northern Indiana city who in just weeks has vaulted from being a near-unknown to a breakout star in the Democratic Party, officially started his presidential bid here on Sunday, presenting himself as a transformational figure who is well positioned to beat President Trump, despite being young and facing off against many seasoned rivals.

        “I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern, millennial mayor, but we live in a moment that compels us each to act,” Buttigieg said in front of thousands of supporters, jacket-free with his sleeves rolled up. “It calls for a new generation of leadership.”

        Buttigieg added, “It’s time to walk away from the politics of the past and toward something totally different.”

        The scene for Buttigieg’s rally was a hulking former Studebaker assembly plant, whose closure decades ago rocked this region’s economy. The site has since become a data and education hub pushed by his administration — and central to his technocratic, hopeful pitch that he is ready to help communities still struggling with the effects of globalization.

        “Change is coming, ready or not,” Buttigieg told the crowd. “There is a myth being sold to industrial and rural communities: the myth that we can stop the clock and turn it back,” and he touted his attempts in the city to assist the workforce with training and skills programs.

        Some attendees drove from around the country after being inspired by Buttigieg’s message and the historic nature of his campaign as a gay presidential candidate.

        For Buttigieg, Sunday’s upbeat gathering on a dreary, snowy mid-April afternoon was an important political juncture: a reintroduction to a party that has only begun to pay attention to this mayor with a hard-to-pronounce name, but is now certainly listening closely as it searches for a standard-bearer.

        [In sharp contrast with other 2020 hopefuls, Sanders courts Trump voters]

        Following a string of buzzy podcast and television appearances, increasingly crowded stops in early voting states, and the release of a best-selling memoir, Buttigieg is suddenly a contender in a crowded Democratic field, with a $7 million fund­raising haul in the first quarter of the year and a rapid rise in the polls.

        Meanwhile, his husband, Chasten, has become a favorite of Democrats on social media, and Buttigieg has landed on the cover of national magazines, including New York magazine this week, with the headline “How about Pete?”

        As rain fell on this city of roughly 100,000 on Sunday morning, thousands lined up under umbrellas and bundled up in jackets, waiting to enter the facility, holding homemade signs and carrying coffee cups and copies of his book, “Shortest Way Home.”

        One of them was Ashley Pawlowski, 34, a self-described independent from South Bend who works at a local nonprofit. “The South Bend we all grew up in was very different. He changed this city and brought a new attitude,” she said. “He’s got this ability to help people deep down in his bones.”

        Buttigieg’s challenge in the coming months: translating this meteoric momentum and goodwill among Democrats who are eager to cheer a confident, youthful voice from the Midwest into a sustained national campaign that can outpace candidates whose careers have made them popular with activists and donors.

        [Sen. Kamala Harris releases tax returns showing nearly $1.9 million in household income in 2018]

        Buttigieg has worked to rub off the heavy sheen of implausibility from his upstart candidacy, insisting that being a two-term mayor of a city in the middle of the country gives him more governing experience than Trump and that he is the face of a new generation that wants to bypass the partisanship and rancor that has gripped Trump’s Washington.

        “My face is my message,” Buttigieg often tells voters on the campaign trail, a catchall way of referring to a calm persona that has drawn comparisons to President Barack Obama and to his own political profile: a gay Midwestern mayor, a retired Navy officer who served in Afghanistan and a Rhodes scholar who, if elected, would be the youngest president in U.S. history.

        Buttigieg’s path will be anything but a glide. While some once-unknown outsiders, such as Jimmy Carter in 1976, have captured the Democratic nomination, others with electric starts have seen their bids fade.

        Buttigieg has generated a swell of enthusiasm among several top Democrats and Obama allies, such as veteran strategist David Axelrod — and Buttigieg has met privately with Obama, who has praised him. Other Democrats remain muted about the mayor.

        In recent days, Buttigieg’s record in South Bend has come under scrutiny. His administration’s efforts to knock down blighted houses in the city have been criticized by some Democrats as a policy that was overly aggressive in revamping lower-income areas that are home to many minority voters. South Bend also continues to grapple with a quarter of the city hovering on the poverty line.

        Buttigieg’s record on race has drawn criticism from Democrats as well, particularly his demotion of South Bend’s first black police chief, Darryl Boykins, in 2012. Buttigieg has cited a federal investigation of Boykins as his rationale for the ouster, but Boykins went on to sue the city for racial discrimination.

        Solomon Anderson, a 57-year-old banker from South Bend, said some in the city’s black community remain unsettled by Buttigieg’s handling of that incident, even as he and others cheered on the mayor’s campaign at the rally on Sunday.

        “Not everyone is over it,” Anderson said. “He has tried to be a healer, to be inclusive, but it hasn’t always been easy.”

        Axelrod, watching Buttigieg’s crowd from afar, noted on Twitter that the crowd “seems very large, very impressive but also very white — an obstacle he will have to overcome.”

        And Buttigieg’s 2015 comment that “all lives matter,” which has been called insensitive by those in the Black Lives Matter movement that seeks to address issues facing black Americans with law enforcement, prompted him to reassure a civil rights group this month that he understands their concerns and stands in solidarity with their cause.

        Buttigieg’s campaign is aware of the growing spotlight on his mayoral decisions and is determined to showcase his record and make the case that running a city like South Bend enables him to understand vexing national issues from a ground-level perspective. Sunday’s rally featured introductory speeches from mayors from other states who have become allies, following Buttigieg’s work in mayoral groups and his unsuccessful run for Democratic National Committee chairman in 2016.

        “The horror show in Washington is mesmerizing. It’s all-consuming. But starting today, we’re going to change the channel,” Buttigieg said.

        Nan Whaley, the mayor of Dayton, Ohio, called Buttigieg “the polar opposite in every way to Donald Trump.” Steve Adler, the mayor of Austin, endorsed him and said it seemed as though “the world is arriving in South Bend.”

        Underscoring themes of generational change and his interest in reaching out to religious voters and working-class voters who drifted toward Trump have been priorities of Buttigieg and his aides as they have mapped out his campaign, believing he can make overtures to them and liberal Democrats at the same time.

        The energy surrounding Buttigieg was evident over the weekend here: His campaign headquarters in South Bend was bustling with volunteers, who streamed past a wall painted with tall-lettered guidance on how to pronounce his name: “Boot Edge Edge.” Chasten Buttigieg greeted supporters and shared a playlist of songs from bands such as Fleetwood Mac and Phish for those taking road trips.

        “5 years ago I came out to my family,” tweeted one supporter, Matthew Miller. “I never thought 5 years ago I’d be driving 8 hours through the night with my Republican father right by my side to go see the first openly gay man announce he’s running for president.”

        Buttigieg’s policy proposals have been relatively broad compared to others in the field and so far tethered to his belief that American democracy needs to undergo a systemic renewal that includes a debate over possible changes to the U.S. Constitution, including expanding the Supreme Court and making the confirmation process less partisan and eliminating the electoral college.

        On Sunday, he spoke out against the rise of white nationalism, voter disenfranchisement, gerrymandering and the influence of corporate money in campaigns.

        “Sometimes a dark moment brings out the best in us,” Buttigieg said.
