With what may have been his first presidential order, Donald Trump made it more expensive for working- and middle-class Americans to buy their first homes. The move will increase costs for 750,000 to 850,000 Americans in the next year alone, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Looks like the first roll of the dice came up snake eyes, oops.

And that whole taking back from DC and giving to the people thingy...

Julian Castro, Obama's HUD secretary, said when the fee cut was announced that the FHA's reserve fund had grown by $44 billion in the last four years and that it was time to share these gains with borrowers.

This guy is in via the fake news, scared cracker, lack of participation, 3Rd party, James Comey vote.

Obviously the US wants a do over, ain't gonna happen, but this guy has a grip on what?

But hey, he has set a record on inaugural prayers according to Fox News. We are up to six prayers now.

Their opposition to FDR's unabashedly pro-British policies took firm root the Republican Party, and peaked with the fall of France in June 1940. With an actual membership of nearly 900,000 Americans and a support base of millions more, the America First Committee is historically (and arguably) the largest anti-war movement per capita in U.S. history. It was swept away into its dustbins by the Japanese attack on Hawaii on December 7, 1941, with the Committee formally disbanding three days later.

While people nowadays tend to remember the America First movement as primarily conservative in philosophy, the Committee's membership was surprisingly diverse, and included such Americans as future presidents John F. Kennedy and Gerald Ford, future Peace Corps director Sargent Shriver, future Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart, and future novelist Gore Vidal. Other well-known Americans who were openly sympathetic to the America First movement were novelist Sinclair Lewis, poet E. E. Cummings, prominent Washington socialite Alice Roosevelt Longworth, film producer Walt Disney, actress Lillian Gish and architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

But at the time, Charles Lindbergh was the most prominent person identified with the America First movement. He had moved his family to Europe in 1935, not long after the well-publicized kidnapping and death of his infant namesake. By most accounts he was anti-Semitic, and he was on record as being an admirer of what he saw as German efficiency and patriotism.

In October 1938, one month before "Kristallnacht," Lindbergh accepted the Service Cross of the German Eagle from Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering "for his contributions to aviation." While Lindbergh likely saw it as just another medal, many people perceived in him a personal acceptance of the ideals of the Nazi Party. The family only returned to the United States in April 1939, five months before the German invasion of Poland, whereupon he dedicated himself to opposition to FDR's foreign policy.

During a 1940 speech in Des Moines, IA, Lindbergh specifically singled out the Jews as one of the groups trying to led the country to war, an unfortunate public statement which endeared him to anti-Semites and isolationists, but in truth, probably enraged as many Americans as it attracted. In any event, he fell off the hero's pedestal and his personal reputation and popularity was greatly tarnished as a result.

In Lindbergh's eye and mind, a view which was shared by many millions of Americans at the time, the Nazi war machine was formidable to the point of invincibility, which rendered an inevitable German triumph over the British all but a foregone conclusion. It was therefore in the country's best interests, he said, that a strict policy of neutrality be observed to avoid antagonizing Adolf Hitler unnecessarily.

It happened on Nov. 7, 2012, the day after Mitt Romney lost what had been presumed to be a winnable race against President Obama. Republicans were spiraling into an identity crisis, one that had some wondering whether a GOP president would ever sit in the Oval Office again.

But on the 26th floor of a golden Manhattan tower that bears his name, Trump was coming to the conclusion that his own moment was at hand.

And in typical fashion, the first thing he thought about was how to brand it.

One after another, phrases popped into his head. "We Will Make America Great." That one did not have the right ring. Then, "Make America Great." But that sounded like a slight to the country.

And then, it hit him: "Make America Great Again."

Five days later, Trump signed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, in which he asked for exclusive rights to use "Make America Great Again" for "political action committee services, namely, promoting public awareness of political issues and fundraising in the field of politics." He enclosed a $325 registration fee."

While the America First Committee attracted a wide array of support, the movement was marred by anti-Semitic and pro-fascist rhetoric. Its highest profile spokesman, Charles Lindbergh, blamed American Jews for pushing the country into war.

"The British and the Jewish races," he said at a rally in September 1941, "for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war."

The "greatest danger" Jews posed to the U.S. "lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government," Lindbergh said.

Of course the social media was all over the indisputable visual evidence, mocking Trump over it. Sadly but predictably  Trump and his team shot back telling absolute lies to the public and the press, do you really think that should be ignored?

You believe that lie?  Really?

 " [the crowd] WENT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT"

The National Mall cam atop the Washington Monument exposed Trump lie.

"There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by, and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn, and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good."

"The self-congratulatory tone of the privileged left--just repeating and repeating and repeating the outrages of the opposition--this does not win hearts and minds," concluded Bourdain. "It doesn't change anyone's opinions. It only solidifies them, and makes things worse for all of us."
