				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New York State trial that recently ended with a judgement of over $450M against Donald Trump. He claimed to have money, while his lawyers proffered that he didn&#8217;t, and it looked like no bond companies would back him up. Without an escrow/bond, New York authorities will begin the process of seizing assets. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-582" alt="Trump-MuskTower" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Trump-MuskTower.jpg" width="1560" height="1200" />His backers pointed out that (as is often the case) no one had ever been hit with a penalty this large, but (as often is the case) they were wrong. There have been several court proceedings involving over $1 billion that have involved large corporations.<br />
There has been speculation that other billionaires would help him raise the bond money. Just a day before the March 25 deadline, Trump has again proven himself the great deal maker. He has cut deals on several properties with some well known billionaires.</p>
<p><em><strong>Where it all went</strong></em><br />
Trump ally and &#8220;X&#8221; social media failure <strong>ELON Musk</strong> has moved into Trump&#8217;s Manhattan signature property. Stipulations allow Trump to keep his apartment and hang out in the lobby to meet and greet.<br />
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-581" alt="Trump-dollarsFromBezos-VegasResort-1200w" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Trump-dollarsFromBezos-VegasResort-1200w.jpg" width="1200" height="675" />His Las Vegas resort will be managed Amazon founder, <strong>JEFF Bezos</strong>. Again, Trump will run a gift shop for his fans, and Bezos has agreed to let him make photo/autograph appearances as part of an attempt to draw more high rolling gamblers to the tables.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-579" alt="Putin-GoodHorse-MarALago-1200w" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Putin-GoodHorse-MarALago-1200w.jpg" width="1200" height="842" />Of the deals, Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-lago club will be handed over to <strong>Russian Pres. Putin</strong>.<br />
The deal allows Putin to transform the resort into stables, riding and dressage areas, and a 1 mile race track around the perimeter. <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-580" alt="Trump-MarALago-Putin-RidingClub-1200w" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Trump-MarALago-Putin-RidingClub-1200w.jpg" width="1200" height="716" />Also, Trump will provide Putin unlimited use of his private jet for round trip flights from Moscow to Mar-a-lago, with diplomatic immunity and Secret Service protection. Trump must, however, remain off the property and Melania will become Putin&#8217;s &#8220;USA Honey&#8221;. Stay tuned!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With personnel leaving at a record rate, most recently Tom Bossert, the Homeland Security Advisor, Pres. Trump appears close to a deal with Manpower (<a title="Link to Manpower" href="https://www.manpowergroup.com" target="_blank">ManpowerGroup</a>) to fill cabinet and other high level positions with temporary contract workers.</p>
<div id="attachment_553" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Halfalert_Manpower-ad_ChiefStaff_20180910.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-553" alt="ManpowerGroup job ad" src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Halfalert_Manpower-ad_ChiefStaff_20180910-300x231.jpg" width="300" height="231" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Big vacancy coming? Click for full size image.</p></div>
<p>Recent openings posted on the ManpowerGroup website (see screenshot) include a most conspicuous opening for a “Chief of Staff”, indicating Col. John Kelly may soon  leave the Trump administration.</p>
<p>Whitehouse spokesperson Sarah Sanders acknowledged the move at Tuesday’s press briefing:</p>
<p><strong>“Well, ah, as you know, the President likes to create a lean, fluid, combative, and fearful staff environment. Over the years he has refined his management style to eliminate the need for ‘full-time’ employees with benefits.”</strong></p>
<p>When asked if the Whitehouse was considering using competitive bidding, including other agencies, such as <a title="Link to Kelly Services" href="https://www.kellyservices.us/" target="_blank">Kelly Services</a>, she offered a terse, “No comment.”  Through trusted sources, we were told that Kelly was offered a “piece of the action,” but declined, based on The Trump Organization&#8217;s failure to pay Kelley $5.1 M for services on multiple projects from 1996-2006.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With recent revelations regarding the turmoil in the Trump Whitehouse, a new outside threat has appeared, and several staff members have taken action: food tasters are now as common as criminal lawyers amongst Team Trump. Most notably, though he is not an official staff member, is Trump Jr.&#8217;s recent acquisition of a &#8220;master taster&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_482" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpJr-fingerFix_700w.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-482" alt="Donald Trump, Jr." src="http://www.halfalert.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrumpJr-fingerFix_700w-300x293.jpg" width="300" height="293" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Donald Trump, Junior</p></div>
<p>Trump Jr.&#8217;s extensive contacts (email and meetings) with Russians may have jeopardized deals with the Trump business and other &#8220;off the record&#8221; deals that  Trump has made with the Russian Mafiya, where Putin is a powerful, though &#8220;unofficial&#8221; officer.</p>
<p>Several opponents who have crossed Putin and his cronies in both politics, and in attempting to apply the rule of law, have been killed (<a title="Article on recent Putin poisoning victim (Feb. 2017)" href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/has-putin-poisoned-another-opponent" target="_blank">link to details</a>). Most died from various poisons, radiation or more violent methods.  Thus, a food taster (most Presidents use them) becomes a basic necessity, in addition to bodyguards and other more &#8220;conventional&#8221; protection afforded people of power and influence. Did Obama have a food taster? The <a title="Snopes: Debunking: Did Obama have a food taster?" href="http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taster.asp" target="_blank">Snopes website rates this a &#8220;true&#8221;</a>!</p>
<h3>More Tasters and a few Bugs Appear</h3>

<p>Perhaps even more telling of the tense mood and conflict within the Trump inner circle, is the rumor that some staff, including Jared Kushner<em>, have hired backup food tasters, and are  wearing recording devices under their clothes, </em>to rectify the complex set of values needed to stay out of prison, stay alive, and still remain &#8220;on-board the Trump Train&#8221; to make America great again.</p>
