Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

On Election Day 2016, six residential buildings called “Trump Place” stood in a row on Manhattan’s Upper West Side — a legacy of Donald Trump’s efforts to develop that site, and a sign of the Trump name’s enduring value in New York.
Soon, Trump’s name will be gone from all of them.
On Friday, the last building holding on to the name “Trump Place” announced that it would take down the president’s name, according to an email obtained by The Washington Post.
That email, sent out by the condo board at 220 Riverside Boulevard, said that it had held a vote of building owners, and that owners representing 83 percent of the building had cast votes.
“Of the 83 percent [that] voted, 74.7 percent voted to remove the signage, and 25.3 percent voted not to remove the signage,” the email said.
“Over the next several weeks, we will select a company to carry out the required work” of removing the signs, the board said.

Last week, federal agents in Maryland arrested a United States Coast Guard officer and said he was plotting to assassinate Democratic members of Congress, prominent television journalists and others. The officer, Lt. Christopher Hasson, apparently was inspired by a right-wing Norwegian terrorist who slaughtered 77 people in 2011, stockpiled firearms and ammunition and researched locations around Washington to launch his attacks, according to investigators. Fortunately, the F.B.I. arrested him before he could act.
This frightening case is just one of several recent reminders that white supremacy and far-right extremism are among the greatest domestic-security threats facing the United States.
Regrettably, over the past 25 years, law enforcement, at both the federal and state levels, has been slow to respond. This is in part because of the limited number of enforcement tools available to prosecutors. But there are steps that can be taken to help the police and prosecutors address this growing threat — including, on the federal level, a domestic terrorism law.
The numbers of these cases speak for themselves. In 2017, hate crimes, generally defined as criminal acts motivated by the victim’s race, ethnicity, religion, or gender, increased by about 17 percent nationally, to 7,175 from 6,121; in my state of Virginia, they were up by https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/virginia-attorney-general-mark-herring-to-introduce-hate-crimes-legislation-citing-rise-in-violence/2018/11/14/0e9155c8-e833-11e8-bbdb-72fdbf9d4fed_story.html?utm_term=.303cb66db565 (nearly 50 percent), to 202 from 137.
