You have to agree to accept cookies with every site you go to these days; before, you got them without agreeing to it (which would be a lot easier, to be honest).
That's the Snopes site; it's perfectly safe.

Here is a piece explaining that Trump isn't so much incompetent as sadistic:

You just agree to accept cookies. All it means it that the page will recognise you when you go back there. We've always accepted cookies; the only difference is that now we have a choice.
But the piece just says what the link says: all his missteps - his unconstitutional anti-Muslim policy, his support of neo-Nazis, his policy of separating children from their parents are not from stupidity or unwillingness to think things through: they are deliberate and calculated.

Being the lady that I am,I can not talk about Trump.I have a full vocabulary,I'm just not prepared to use those words to describe that man in public. Sometimes,silence can be more powerful than words.

I only quoted the reference to Obama for a bit of balance I cannot stand Trump but he is what he is, the elected leader of the most powerful nation on earth. He is delivering what he promised the electorate, how many times do we criticise politicians for failing to do this I don't know how popular he still is, we will just have to live with him until someone else takes over. Oprah Winfrey?

He's not though. He's just deliberately creating chaos, while pretending to his base that complex problems can be solved easily.
Did even the people who voted for him want the rest of the world to stop taking the US seriously? Did they want a trade war than no one can win?
And I'm pretty sure he never said he'd take children from their parents and then go on to lose them, or collude with Russia.

I saw one of his supporters interviewed who said "If you don't wanna lose your kids then don't bring them to the border" It's the current simplistic sound bite politics, Farage uses it brilliantly

Yes, simplistic. They must think the parents did it on a whim.

WASHINGTON — Trump administration officials, under pressure from the White House to provide a rationale for reducing the number of refugees allowed into the United States next year, rejected a study by the Department of Health and Human Services that found that refugees brought in $63 billion more in government revenues over the past decade than they cost.
The draft report, which was obtained by The New York Times, contradicts a central argument made by advocates of deep cuts in refugee totals as President Trump faces an Oct. 1 deadline to decide on an allowable number. The issue has sparked intense debate within his administration as opponents of the program, led by Mr. Trump’s chief policy adviser, Stephen Miller, assert that continuing to welcome refugees is too costly and raises concerns about terrorism.
Advocates of the program inside and outside the administration say refugees are a major benefit to the United States, paying more in taxes than they consume in public benefits, and filling jobs in service industries that others will not. But research documenting their fiscal upside — prepared for a report mandated by Mr. Trump in a March presidential memorandum implementing his travel ban — never made its way to the White House. Some of those proponents believe the report was suppressed.
The internal study, which was completed in late July but never publicly released, found that refugees “contributed an estimated $269.1 billion in revenues to all levels of government” between 2005 and 2014 through the payment of federal, state and local taxes. “Overall, this report estimated that the net fiscal impact of refugees was positive over the 10-year period, at $63 billion.”
But White House officials said those conclusions were illegitimate and politically motivated, and were disproved by the final report issued by the agency, which asserts that the per-capita cost of a refugee is higher than that of an American.
“This leak was delivered by someone with an ideological agenda, not someone looking at hard data,” said Raj Shah, a White House spokesman. “The actual report pursuant to the presidential memorandum shows that refugees with few skills coming from war-torn countries take more government benefits from the Department of Health and Human Services than the average population, and are not a net benefit to the U.S. economy.”
The "Politically Motivated" stuff at the end is particularly good.

He's starting to face reality, he has expressed disappointment that because of the reaction to his tariff increases Harley Davidson will start moving production out of the USA So much for protecting jobs
