7 Things You Need To Know About Trump's Marriages

7 Things You Need To Know About Trump's Marriages


2. Trump has been accused of treating Ivana like dirt. Ivana once alleged that the following incident happened in 1989 after Trump was enraged over a plastic surgeon Ivana had recommended to him:

What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.

“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

Following the incident, Ivana ran upstairs, hid behind a locked door, and remained there “crying for the rest of night.” When she returned to the master bedroom in the morning, he was there.

“As she looks in horror at the ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with menacing casualness: ‘Does it hurt?’” Hurt writes.

Ivana later said she didn't "want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense."

Trump also allegedly humiliated Ivana privately and, at times, even publicly. He constantly tore her down with comments like: "That dress is terrible" and "Who would touch those plastic breasts?" When Trump announced that he had hired Ivana as the manager of the Plaza Hotel, he declared: "My wife, Ivana, is a brilliant manager. I will pay her one dollar a year and all the dresses she can buy!" The comment drove Ivana to tears.

Many of Ivana's friends were bewildered as to why Ivana stayed with Trump, but Ivana kept blaming herself. Observers felt that Ivana had developed "Stockholm syndrome" with Trump, as she herself was starting to resemble Trump's personality–a lust for power, media savviness, and an attraction to the decadent lifestyle that comes with being treated as New York royalty.

BREAKING: Trump Announces Plan To Gut Education, Eliminate 490,000 Teacher Jobs (DETAILS)
Quote
According to the think tank, this would be the actual results of demolishing the Department of Education:

‘8 million students every year would lose Pell grants
490,000 or more teacher positions could be eliminated $1.3 trillion in student loans would be at risk
9 million low-income students would lose $15 billion of Title I funding annually
5 million children and students with disabilities would lose $12.7 billion used every year to ensure that they receive a quality education
750,000 or more students from military families, Native American students, students living in U.S. territories, and students living on federal property or Native American lands would lose $1.1 billion per year for their school
4,000 or more rural school districts would lose more than $175 million used annually to help improve the quality of teaching and learning in many hard-to-staff schools
$700 million used by states to support the 5 million English language learners currently in public schools—representing close to 10 percent of all students—would be cut.’

Other factors that would go by the wayside are the federal guarantees of equality in “race, income, language, and disability” in public education. A recent CBO [Congressional Budget Office] report indicated:

Nearby star hosts closest alien planet in the 'habitable zone'

Nearby star hosts closest alien planet in the 'habitable zone'
December 16, 2015


UNSW Australia astronomers have discovered the closest potentially habitable planet found outside our solar system so far, orbiting a star just 14 light years away.


The planet, more than four times the mass of the Earth, is one of three that the team detected around a red dwarf star called Wolf 1061.

"It is a particularly exciting find because all three planets are of low enough mass to be potentially rocky and have a solid surface, and the middle planet, Wolf 1061c, sits within the 'Goldilocks' zone where it might be possible for liquid water—and maybe even life—to exist," says lead study author UNSW's Dr Duncan Wright.

"It is fascinating to look out at the vastness of space and think a star so very close to us—a near neighbour—could host a habitable planet.

Add wolf 1061c to the growing list of earth/super earth habitual planets. This and G667cc are currently the two closes confirmed such planets.

If we really needed to get off this planet fast...Well, this would be a option.

Find a cave on the moon

Find a cave or a "lava tube" on the moon and close it up. Fill it full of breathable air and make it the way you want it. Allow both nasa and the private sector to have a part in it.

That would last a very long time and would allow us to have a long term presence in space.

Trump retweets racially charged crime data


Washington (CNN)Donald Trump retweeted an image Sunday that compares black-on-black murders to police killings.

Trump's @realDonaldTrump Twitter account highlighted a photograph featuring a dark-skinned man wearing a bandana, a dark shirt and military-style pants and holding a handgun sideways and claiming to list 2015 crime statistics.

It includes six lines. Two of them: "BLACKS KILLED BY POLICE ~~ 1%" and "BLACKS KILLED BY BLACKS ~~ 97%."

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2015

The figures Trump retweeted overstate the number of homicides committed by blacks.

According to FBI statistics, of the 2,451 homicides of black people in 2014, 90% were committed by black people, while 8% of the offenders were white.
