As It Happens6:30Trump campaigner defends president’s release from hospital with COVID-19

A member of U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign is downplaying the risks posed by the president’s Sunday SUV ride, as well as events in recent weeks where Republicans gathered in large groups and largely eschewed masks.

Trump will be discharged Monday night from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., and plans to spend the remainder of his COVID-19 recovery at the White House.

Dr. Sean Conley, his physician, told reporters on Monday that Trump “met or exceeded all standard discharge criteria,” but that he is “not out of the woods yet.” He also said the president can resume his normal schedule once “there is no evidence of live virus still present.”

Trump, 74, announced the news on Twitter, saying: “Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”

At least a dozen members of the president’s inner-circle have tested positive in recent days for COVID-19, which has killed more than 210,000 people in the United States since the pandemic began. 

Mica Mosbacher, a member of the 2020 National Trump Advisory Board, spoke to As It Happens host Carol Off on Monday ahead of Trump’s release. Here is part of their conversation. 

What message is Mr. Trump sending to Americans by leaving hospital when his doctors say he’s still not out of the woods?

First of all, he’s got one of the most outstanding medical teams in the country, and they felt that his vital signs were normal, he was not running fever, and that certainly with the fact that 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has a mini-hospital unit, that they’re able to care for him out of the hospital, especially giving him 24/7 attention.

Dr. Conley said one thing that was interesting. He said that it’s typical of any protocol to ask a patient or try to release a patient from the hospital as soon as possible because it limits your risk with exposure.

[Trump’s] message to the American people today is one of eternal optimism. You know, he feels great. I’ve been on a conference call with a couple [members] of the first family, and they have been talking with him regularly and have assured us that he does feel good.

He is going to obviously exercise some caution, but he has continued to work and he will listen to his doctors. But I’ve said that he is a fighter, and that he has the strength of two 30-year-olds.

So what message does it send when he says that he feels better than he has in 20 years? I mean, he has, as you point out, the best medical care one could have. And yet this is not the same medical care that other people have who have seen their loved ones die and who have had to cancel huge parts of their lives in order to avoid contracting this virus. What message does it send to them?

I think he’s showing that he is eternally optimistic. And I think that most Americans have pandemic fatigue, and they are looking to balance work and school, along with taking precautions. But they need to get back to work. Let’s face it, this virus has devastated people economically. And the president has built a robust economy before. He’s trying to reassure individuals that with Operation Warp Speed that a vaccine is underway that will be safe for individuals to take.

As you know, nearly 210,000 Americans have died. They’ve been buried in your country. And millions are sick with it. So is this really the time to start talking about how great he feels?

Well, absolutely. He’s reassuring world leaders around the world that there is not going to be a transference of power. And I think that’s what we’re looking for in a president.

Obviously, he’s in a unique position. He’s not Joe Q. Public. But he’s also using a therapeutic that was developed during Operation Warp Speed that should give help and hope to other individuals who are suffering from coronavirus.

I think the media coverage has been almost laughable at times because he was criticized yesterday for taking a brief ride in The Beast to greet supporters who’ve been camped out at Walter Reed Hospital. And U.S. Secret Service was wearing personal protection equipment. They had been around him. I just wonder how they thought that President Trump got to Walter Reed Hospital. He didn’t fly Marine One by himself.

Trump breaks isolation to pay drive-by visit to supporters 

1 day ago6:19U.S. President Donald Trump, still infectious with the coronavirus, surprised supporters who had gathered outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, driving by in the black presidential SUV. 6:19

Over [the past few days] we saw, almost on a loop, pictures of the events that perhaps the infection began to spread among the members of the White House and within the Republican Party. Senators, key ones in the justice committee, now sick. Many people within the staff of the administration now infected. And as we watch this, Americans, with what I’m reading … are saying, “Well, why did I make these sacrifices? Why have I isolated myself? Why have I gone to such lengths when we see the circle around the president being so cavalier about an infection that has killed members of my family?”

What do you say to those people who are shocked to see how openly [Republicans] were greeting each other, when they have not been able to see their grandchildren and not been able to see their loved ones die in hospital?

We don’t know the origin of how this outbreak happened. Senators [are] around many, many people as well as campaign staffers. So we’ll leave that up to contact tracing. I can’t speculate on that.

But I will say that there had been a number of protocols that have been adhered to, even at rallies. The [Republican National Committee] passes out masks to individuals. They choose to come. They’re not forced to come, but they are encouraged to wear masks. But there’s no national mandate in this country, which would be unconstitutional, to wear a mask.

But we did see members of the Trump entourage, the Trump family … knowing that there were infections, show up at events, including the debate. Many people were shocked and very concerned about how they did not wear masks. What do you say to them? Do you think the Trump family, the people around Donald Trump, should have been wearing masks?

They are regularly tested for COVID. And anyone who meets with the president in the Oval Office or at the White House is tested for COVID.

So you’re confident that there was no infection spread at that debate, no infection spread at the events [where] Mr. Trump and his family have been?

I have no idea and cannot speculate on where it originated. Obviously, this virus is very contagious. It’s hideous. But the good news is that according to Health and Human Services, the hospitalizations are declining. Also emergency room visits. Also intensive care.

I’m talking about the events around the president.

Yes. I’m not going to speculate on how this happened. Obviously, it is extremely contagious and you can take every precaution, apparently, and still catch it. If the president of the United States can catch it, I guess anyone can. And he’s been so highly protected.

The Texas suburbs are slipping away from the GOP. These women for Trump want to win them back.

January 5, 2020 Comments Off on The Texas suburbs are slipping away from the GOP. These women for Trump want to win them back. By admin

Texas Republicans need women on their side if they’re going to keep the state red in 2020, but recent polls suggest President Donald Trump’s support among women is plummeting.

HOUSTON — An audible groan erupted in the lounge area of Houston’s Gulf Coast Distillers in late October when high-profile Trump campaign operative Mica Mosbacher invoked the idea of a Democratic presidency.

Mosbacher encouraged the audience of roughly 50 GOP women — a group that included a millionaire Texas congressional candidate, the owner of a gun store and a Gov. Greg Abbott political appointee — to turn their grumbling into action.

“It’s not the boy’s club anymore,” she said.

Texas Republicans need women on their side if they’re going to keep the state red in 2020, but recent polls suggest President Donald Trump’s support among women is plummeting. A secret recording of outgoing House Speaker Dennis Bonnen laid bare the GOP’s anxieties about the president: “He’s killing us in urban-suburban districts,” Bonnen told a Republican activist in late June.

The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one.

Trump’s campaign seems to take the risk seriously. At the October Women for Trump panel discussion, a group of female surrogates — mostly white, some living in D.C. — parachuted into a historically black neighborhood in the heart of Texas’ biggest city to sip drinks and implore Republican women: “We need your help.”

Mosbacher, whose resume includes stints working for GOP fixtures like U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and the late John McCain, turned to one of the women next to her to bring the point home.

“What would you tell people who are on the fence about President Trump?” Mosbacher, a member of the Trump 2020 Advisory Board, asked Women for Trump member Karen Henry.

“It would be hard for me to be nice to ‘em,” Henry, a mother of four and Houston-area business owner, quipped. “But if you want somebody who’s going to stand up to the media, who does what he says he’s going to do … he’s the only person you can vote for.”

Onstage next to Henry was fellow member Melanie Luttrell. “Don’t you want your kids to grow up in the America you grew up in?” she asked the crowd. Many women nodded their heads solemnly in agreement.

The visit to Houston was one of many that Trump campaign surrogates have made in recent months as part of a broader national outreach to suburban women, a voting bloc that will be essential to Trump’s reelection campaign. But a majority of Texas women said in October they would definitely vote for someone besides Trump in the 2020 presidential election, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll. And 46% of people living in the suburbs said the same thing, according to the poll, compared to 41% who said they would definitely vote for him.

The goal of the Houston gathering was two-fold: energize existing supporters and encourage them to spread the gospel of Trump campaign’s promises — lower taxes, free-market health care, less government regulation, telling off the “fake news” media, and cleaning up “the swamp that is Washington D.C. bureaucracy” — to their friends and neighbors.

“We need every one of you to replicate yourselves,” said Penny Nance, the CEO and president of Concerned Women for America, who also said she is an evangelical Christian.

“Texas has the largest group of new voters,” she continued. “So guess what? We need to get them signed up.”

But beyond the four walls of the Houston distillery, that might be easier said than done. Even Texas’ historically conservative suburbs now appear competitive: A Houston-area congressional seat flipped to Democrats in 2018, and both Harris and Fort Bend Counties are overwhelmingly blue. In the Dallas region, Republicans lost a second congressional seat last year, along with a slate of state House seats and a state Senate one.

Miesian Masterpiece Mansion in River Oaks Hits Market With Plenty of Intrigue — and a $11.78 Million Asking Price

This Houston Landmark Cannot be Torn Down

The mid-century masterpiece by Hugo Victor Neuhaus Jr., tucked on Lazy Lane in the heart of River Oaks, is privately on the market for more than $11 million. The sale is being handled by John Daugherty Realtors. (Photo by TK Images)

When former Secretary of Commerce Bob Mosbacher and his wife, Mica, invited us to join them for dinner at their notable mid-century modern dwelling in the heart of River Oaks (a chef had been flown in from Paris for the month), the dinner was not to be. We pulled up to the house at 2910 Lazy Lane to find the front yard filled with firetrucks.

A minor electrical blaze in a fuse box had put an end to dinner but not before we visited over cocktails in the smashing dwelling that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

We schmoozed in the living room where glass walls overlooked gardens to the south and the swimming pool to the north and across the pool into the dining room, also framed in glass walls. The home registered the signature details of mid-century design — sleek rectilinear lines, flat planes, and monochromatic brickwork.

That was 2005. Today, that gem of a home, often described as Texas’ finest Miesian masterpiece, is privately on the market with an $11,775,000 price tag that comes not only with the National Register designation but also with a Landmark of the City of Houston classification and a Texas Historical Marker.

Don’t even think about tearing it down.

Prominent architect Hugo Victor Neuhaus Jr. built the home in 1950 as his personal residence and lived there until his death in 1987. The property has long been adored by design magazines, architectural historians and conservationist. House Beautiful lauded it in a multi-page spread in 1954. House & Garden saluted it in 1959 as one of its Hallmark Houses and described it as “a new concept of beauty.” In 2005, Citelines described the house “as an integral part of the city’s cultural patrimony.”

Since Neuhaus’ death, various renovations altered the original plans but not to the extent of disrupting the mid-century aesthetic.  In 2007, the Mosbachers earned a Good Brick Award from Preservation Houston for their careful updating of the home. And in 2016 Mo and Rick Campo, Camden Property Trust CEO and Houston Super Bowl Host chairman, received a Good Brick Award from Preservation Houston for their restoration of the house.

The one-story, 7,033 square foot home, built of steel, brick and glass, centers a verdant 2.3 acre lot that gently slopes down to a ravine which runs off of Buffalo Bayou. Five bedrooms, four baths, a climate-controlled wine vault, up-to-date gourmet kitchen, summer kitchen with brick fireplace, a free-standing roofed pavilion with wine bar, and a free-standing casita are among the features. A bonus — mosquito control is installed across the property.

The house is listed privately through Karen Gillespie with John Daugherty Realtors.

Trump Campaign Announces ‘Women For Trump’ Coalition to Court Female Voters: Here Are It’s Key Members

Women For Trump

Trump’s 2020 campaign, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., this week announced the launch of “Women for Trump,” a coalition to court female voters in supporting the second term reelection of Trump.

Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and one of the key leaders of the campaign, launched “Women for Trump” at a King of Prussia casino in the Philadelphia suburbs on Tuesday. In front of several hundred women Lara Trump asked the crowd: “Is your life better now than it was before Donald Trump got elected? Do you have a little more money in your bank account, did you get a break on your tax return this year?”

Lara Trump was joined by other leaders of the coalition, including Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former Fox News host who’s now serving as a top adviser to the campaign, American Tea Party activist Katrina Pierson, as well as Trump 2020 reelection campaign staffers Mercedes Schlapp and Kayleigh McEnany.

“Because of President Trump’s policies, women have seen large gains in employment numbers, in securing our communities and most importantly in equipping the next generation of female leaders” Lara Trump said, in a statement emailed to Newsweek. “‘Women for Trump’ will not only highlight the President’s clear record of success during his first term but will share a vision of empowerment and prosperity for every person in every corner of our country.”

The Trump campaign noted that the president had more female donors than any of his Democratic opponents in the first quarter of 2019. These contributions accounted for nearly half of the total received during that period.

Trump’s fundraising numbers prove the enthusiasm of the American people for his economy

President Trump’s reelection effort took in an astonishing $105 million in the second quarter of 2019, easily beating out former President Barack Obama’s fundraising effort at the same point in his presidency. By Mica Mosbacher – July 30, 2019

Be afraid, Democrats. Be very afraid.

Donald Trump’s record-breaking fundraising is a sign that he has built a formidable 2020 campaign apparatus — but the flood of donations also proves that his policy accomplishments are resonating with the American people.

President Trump’s reelection effort took in an astonishing $105 million in the second quarter of 2019, easily beating out former President Barack Obama’s fundraising effort at the same point in his presidency. Obama’s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee managed to raise a combined $85 million in the second quarter of 2011, $20 million less than President Trump.

Even more impressively, a large proportion of that money came from small-dollar donors who gave less than $200 each — overall, the President’s reelection effort received about 725,000 individual contributions averaging just $48 each. Republicans have historically relied more on large donors, but the Republican National Committee actually took in a greater share of donations from small donors last quarter than did the Democratic National Committee.

Obama more or less coasted to victory in the 2012 presidential election, and there’s good reason to anticipate that Trump is on a winning trajectory on his way to a second term in office. If anything, this President is in an even stronger position than his predecessor was, because in stark contrast to Obama’s record, his pro-growth policies have fundamentally rejuvenated the U.S. economy, creating millions of new jobs for American workers.

In fact, the U.S. unemployment rate reached a 50-year low of 3.6 percent under President Trump, more than a full percentage point lower than it was when Obama left the White House after presiding over a barely-noticeable economic “recovery” for eight years. While the unemployment rate ticked up slightly in June, to 3.7 percent, that was only because more than 300,000 workers entered the workforce to take advantage of the improved labor market.

President Trump’s policies have also put a lot more money into people’s pockets, which could help to explain why so many people have money to donate to his reelection campaign. The President’s historic tax cuts, for instance, saved the average taxpayer more than $1,400 on their federal income taxes last year. Wages are also rising at a healthy clip, and the recent boom in job creation means that far fewer Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

Most of the candidates running for the Democrat presidential nomination have yet to release their own fundraising figures for the second quarter, which are not officially due out until July 15. Some, including South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, have announced their results and exceeded expectations, but none of them are in the range of Trump’s impressive haul.

Of course, the Democrats are in a bit of a bind. How do they credibly argue against President Trump’s stewardship of our economy when the results are downright explosive?

Time and again, leading Democrat presidential candidates — including Senator Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Kamala Harris, and Senator Elizabeth Warren, among others — have insisted that middle-income Americans are struggling under President Trump and that a new policy vision is necessary in 2020.

Sure, their base is fired up, but how far will that get them with the General Election electorate next year when voters can confidently say they’re better off than they were four years ago?

One particularly preposterous argument, articulated by Sen. Kamala Harris during the first round of Democrat primary debates, is that Americans are taking on multiple jobs because they are desperate for additional income. In reality, though, the number of Americans who are employed part-time for economic reasons has decreased significantly over the course of Trump’s presidency, largely thanks to his pro-worker policies.

The President’s strategic counter-tariffs against China, for instance, are protecting American jobs from the sleazy trade practices that Beijing has used to undermine the competitiveness of U.S. companies for decades.

The Democrats, however, would not only eliminate the pro-growth policies that brought about our current prosperity, they would compound the pain for American families by repealing the tax cuts that saved the typical family of four nearly $3,000 last year

Try as they might, the Democrats can’t erase President Trump’s accomplishments by lying to the American people. The President’s impressive fundraising haul proves that voters are passionate about his policies, and that they want him to keep America great for another four years.

Shelby: Cancer center snags big ones

May 11, 2019 Comments Off on Shelby: Cancer center snags big ones By admin

The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has reeled in big ones at Kennebunkport, Maine, for a two-day social/seminar honoring $100,000 donors to the center’s 60th anniversary gala set for November.

The itinerary for 100 includes cocktails tonight with former President George Bush and Barbara at their Walker’s Point home, dinner at the venerable River Club, a sunset powwow on Mica and Bob Mosbacher’s 75-foot sailboat The Rhapsody, and a brunch presentation on M.D. Anderson research projects.

Among guests are Houstonians June and Virgil Waggoner, Shahla and Hushang Ansary, Sally and Forrest Hoglund, Betty and Sylvan Miori, Kay and Bob Onstead, and gala chairs Marie and Bill Wise and Lynn and Pete Coneway. Also in the gathering — Jeri and Marc Shapiro of New York and Placido Arrango of Madrid.

This is the third year that the Bushes have hosted a donor appreciation event for M.D. Anderson.

In September, the former president becomes chairman of the University Cancer Foundation Board of Visitors at M.D. Anderson.

Gladiator cow

Artist Beverly Hill Smith is a huge Russell Crowe fan, a regular visitor to his Web site www.MaximumCrowe.com. It makes sense then that when she cast about for design ideas for an entry in the Houston Cow Parade, she struck on “Gladiator: Russell Cow.”

But she needed $7,500, the sponsor fee, to get her creation in the parade, which benefits Texas Children’s Hospital.

She turned to the Web site for help.

With the go-ahead from Texas Children’s Hospital, Cow Parade organizers and Web site overseers, Smith had her design and the request for sponsor funding posted on MaximumCrowe.com.

Within three days Crowe fans had contributed more than enough. To date, $18,900 has been raised for the charity.

Photos of the step-by-step work on the gladiator cow are posted on the Web site.

Booked for fun

Speaking of Russell Crowe, while the star was consoling fellow Australian Nicole Kidman on the island of Fiji earlier this month, Joe Hudson and Lynne James were in Malta bunking in the digs that Crowe called home during filming of Gladiator.

The Houston couple rented the villa with a view of the Mediterranean while James attended a South Texas College of Law summer seminar. She was among 46 students attending the six-week course on comparative criminal law.

Dean Catherine Burnett and professor Susan Crump conducted classes for the program, which is in its sixth year.

Thread bare

No longer the popular playground of social figures such as Mary Lee Merrett, Betty Shindler, Susanne Dawley and Mary Ellen Gordon, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston‘s Textiles and Costume Institute has become a full-fledged collection area within the museum.

Letters announcing the Textiles and Costume Department‘s (note the subtle name change) graduation to curatorial level were sent out recently by museum director Peter Marzio.

Textiles and Costume will now be governed by a subcommittee of MFAH trustees rather than the Ladies Who Lunch. Fund raising, policy decisions, exhibitions and the like will be made in the same manner as with other MFAH subcommittees.

Fate of Silver Slipper, the annual designer award evening that has brought in the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Emanuel Ungaro and Donna Karan, remains undecided.

Brew masters

It was a merger of major brew families recently when Elizabeth Nau, daughter of Silver Eagle Distributors owners Bobbie and John Nau, exchanged vows with Andrew Stepanian, son of Linda and Leon Stepanian Jr., owners of Loveland Distributing Co. in Richmond, Va.

The wedding was total sophistication save for the playful nod to the beer business. In River Oaks Country Club‘s main dining room Budweiser in the bottle was served along with champagne, wine and other libations. In the ballroom foyer, Miller Lite reigned at the bar. Neon signs for both brews hung from the walls. Flower-filled beer steins and bowls of beer nuts topped cocktail tables. Red coozies to keep beer bottles chilled were printed with “Friend of the Bride.”

Among guests — Anheuser-Busch scion Adolphus Busch of St. Louis.

Grapes of joy

Cesar Chavez unionists not, the crowd of grape-pickers spotted in the heart of Fulshear Saturday morning were friends and family of Carole and Dr. Michael McCann, a Houston veterinarian.

More than 100 men, women and children joined the ultimate Tom Sawyer experience by sharing in the labor of picking grapes at Union Chappel Vineyards, the McCann’s 5-acre spread.

The second annual grape-pick began with a blessing of the harvest by the Rev. Charles Teykl of Rosenberg and a feast of kolaches prepared by Carole’s mother, 80-year-old Ella Owens.

Norman Rockwell, where were you?

By mid-morning the fruit of the vine, destined for fermenting and bottling, had been picked and packaged for Haak Vineyards in Sante Fe, Texas.

The reward for the volunteer laborers? A country music serenade and barbecue lunch in the shade of the McCanns’ oak trees.

GOP strategist says Avenatti was a ‘useful idiot’ for Dems

April 13, 2019 Comments Off on GOP strategist says Avenatti was a ‘useful idiot’ for Dems By admin

Republican strategist Mica Mosbacher told Hill.TV’s “Rising” on Friday that Democrats used attorney Michael Avenatti as “a useful idiot” to attack President Trump and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh before Avenatti was indicted on his own criminal charges.

“Avenatti was a useful idiot for the Democrats when he was using Julie Swetnik to take down Kavanaugh first of all and Stormy Daniels to try to sully the president,” Mosbacher told hosts Buck Sexton and Jamal Simmons. 

Avenatti formerly represented Daniels, an adult-film star whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in her legal battle against Trump, with whom she says she had an affair more than a decade ago.

During Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing last year, Swetnick was one of two women who accused the judge of sexual assault, which the then-Supreme Court nominee denied.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) later announced he was referring Swetnick and Avenatti to the Justice Department for a potential criminal investigation into whether they made false statements to Congress about Kavanaugh.

During his representation of Daniels, Avenatti made frequent appearances on cable news shows and even floated a 2020 Democratic presidential bid. 

He was charged in California on Thursday with on 36 counts of perjury, fraud, failure to pay taxes and other financial crimes.

“Now I think it’s interesting that the Democrats are now trying to distance themselves from Avenatti,” Mosbacher said.
