Mo' Problems

One Week. November 01, 2016 Mo' Problems One more week. After what has felt like a never-ending election season, the end is finally in sight. And as damaging news about Donald Trump keeps coming out—like the fact that he used a legally-dubious method to avoid paying personal federal income taxes and that he has an email problem of his own—he continues to claim the election is rigged. Yesterday, we started a list of problems Trump should actually be worrying about instead of a "rigged" election. We'll be continuing to add to that list for the rest of the week @CAPAction on Twitter using #99problems. Have some problems to add? Tag us on Twitter and we'll add the best ones to our list! For now, here's the next installment of Trump's problems. See the rest of the list here. 21. He keeps denying he backed the Iraq War. 22. His tax plan would shrink the U.S. economy by 4 percent. 23. He has literally been featured in terrorist recruiting videos. 24. He thinks more guns = less violence. It doesn't. 25. He's threatened freedom of the press by banning major publications from covering his campaign. 26. Two words: Trump University. 27. He would be the first climate-denying head of state in the world. 28. He rooted for the housing crisis in 2006 so he could make money. Today, he says, "That's called business." 29. He said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers. 30. He has boasted about sexual assault. 31. One of his campaign officials admitted to using "voter suppression" tactics. 32. He wants to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. 33. Less than one-third of voters trust him with the nuclear codes. 34. His tax plan would raise taxes on some single parents. 35. He said: "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." 36. His maternity leave plan would exacerbate the wage gap. 37. He said a federal district court judge couldn't do his job because of his "Mexican heritage." 38. His tax plan would give companies stashing profits offshore a $550 million tax break. 39. His plan to reprioritize federal education funding could cost 30 million low-income students school lunch. 40. He has filed for bankruptcy six times. Share On Twitter WHAT'S TRENDING #NoDAPL. No, all of your Facebook friends didn't suddenly take a trip to Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota. Most of the Facebook check-ins that you're seeing are to show solidarity with the protestors of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Tensions between the protestors and law enforcement at Standing Rock have reached new levels, with protesters allegedly being held in dog kennels following mass arrests. Water is life and the water protectors need support, so if you want to do a bit more than confusing your mother about your whereabouts, consider donating to their legal defense fund or their camp fund. Will the Real Puppet Please Stand Up? The real puppet = Donald J. Trump, who at every turn in this election has managed to undermine American national security by taking Putin's side. It's gotten so bad that he's literally parroting the Kremlin's talking points. Don't believe us? Watch this new video. Speaking of 99 problems? Student loan debt. Stagnant wages. Pay gaps. As the generation that came of age in the wake of the Great Recession, Millennials face staggering economic barriers. A new analysis by CAP Action's Sunny Frothingham examines the unique pressures Millennial women and families face, as well as the policy solutions they need for a fair shot at economic stability. Student Loans. Would you want Wall Street to run your student loans? Donald Trump's plan is to run education like he runs his businesses.
