Scoping out political opponents

I came across this article on the NY Post
http://nypost.com/2017/02/12/trumps-white-house-eyes-potential-foes-in-2020-election/

which claims that Trump is looking at which Democrats could oppose him in the 2020 elections and is scouring their backgrounds.

My question, is this something that every President (or his staff) has done or is this uniquely Trump?
Others may have, but the available tools are much more powerful now, by which I mean a lot of the gathering can be automated; and there is probably more data on everyone.

My guess is that's it's probably most. Once in the position of power, I know it can be very addicting.

There's probably always a strategist doing this whether they just won or if they are in elections. If it's a focus of the new administration then that sounds weird to me, they are thinking too many moves ahead.

Last week hundreds of "refugees" started showing up in Canada and the government controlled media in Canada which does not have free press or free speech except for what outside news gets to Canadians that the controlled media cannot "control" anymore in the digital age, the controlled media kept calling them "refugees" for what little news did make it as the government was doing all it could covering up the information from Canadian citizens.
Absolutely false. CBE/CBC are government owned and controlled, but most of the other networks are privately owned and are as free to air programs as we have here in the States. I spend a great deal of time in Canada, plus we get Canadian t.v. and radio here in Michigan.

Absolutely true. Losers will never admit the truth.


See these two pictures:

First the link to one image...

Now a different image:

modulo-para-la-atencion-al-migrante.jpg


This is Tijuana. The building is in Tijuana. The sign "Modulo de Atencion a Migrantes". Here is a video from November 2016 put up after the election but filmed before the election. It was filmed by a Mexican local who was wondering in shock what the hell is going on. Due to concern of retribution, he mirrored the video to mirror image so that the name "Modulo de Atencion a Migrantes” would not be scanned by any government operations (if the letters are in reverse, such character scanners of video will not pick it up even using sophisticated government equipment). These are people being processed to enter California who showed up in large numbers by trucks never observed in such numbers in any way in the past and noticed by locals.

Not just because they think "Trump is going to get us" but actually the word is spreading like wildfire that Canada will give them more free stuff and they will all get cars and lots of government money to start Uber type jobs and there is a good market to sell drugs.
It's unbelievable in what you believe in. Canada (Trudeau) has publicly stated that it is opening its doors to Muslim refugees, but it's certainly not being done indiscriminately.

It would be far wiser for you to actually look up such things first and then provide us here with link(s) to try and support your claims.

We were talking about Canada and now you post something that supposedly has taken place in Mexico?

Secondly, are you aware of the fact than anyone can take a film clip and misrepresent what it's showing or even where it actually is taking place?
BTW, the guy talking in the video really doesn't come off too well-- sounds like he has an "agenda" he pushing. On top of that, pretty much all those that he shows in the video seem to be of African heritage, which would be rather unusual in Mexico as most there are Mestizos.

So, let me recommend that you use an actual news source, then double-check that with some other news sources, and post them here.

Even the current PM is getting along with Trump as evident today, while the Democrats spew lies and fake news - it is because of them that we now have large numbers from Ghana and Somalia rushing into Canada over the last two weeks from US States Minnesota and other states into Eastern Canada, and these were "refugees" not from SYRIA or IRAQ but called "refugees" but are from Africa and dumped into the US over the Mexican border by Obama, rushed in and in hopes they would vote for Hillary just like hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals in California voted illegally for Hillary in California.

Canadians are not being told the truth, but are finding out anyway.
And there are some people here at RF who believe in fake news. Since I'm a 20 minute drive from the Canadian border right now, I do believe I would have run across this on even our local news if what you were saying were to be true.

I just let that speak for itself.

What a laugh.

No, it has to do with electrolytic manganese used in the steel industry and a resource taken from recycling car batteries and special iron minerals, and cobalt used also in electric car technology and also mined by same industry that gets manganese and other strategic minerals. Trump has started the reindustrialization process, including US steel and next the new battery industry including electric cars, Canada has the new companies HQ'd in BC, new startup in battery recycling for portable electronic devices and electric and hybrid electric vehicles, vital minerals in steel production both relief from dependency from the corrupt and unstable Democratic Republic of Congo (DCR), most of these Canadian startup operations have cheap stocks on the OTC available to US investors who will be more than 50% of the investing capital and shareholders who are going to make a lot of Americans rich and not just Canadians, these opreations are now expanding into Arizona and other areas with their innovative patented processes of Canadian ingenuity and not Somali or Ghana or Mexican anything, Trump and Trudeau are working together right now with the eye on steel, electric cars, as well as Canadian oil, the US-Canadian relations will never be better and will be hugely profitable for both and thr PM knows that. These profits will outstrip those "global" (enabling slavery) companies which rely on cheap foreign labor by a thousand fold.

Trump and the PM will get along just fine, thank you.

So the bottom line is more massive losses coming for the Democrats who have already lost everything at every level of government across the US and now lost the Presidency. Of course the winners will look at some of the nuts the Dems want to run, these people want us all to get run over by a truck together, but now their illegals who vote for them and the refugees" who are not refugees but the foreign nationals from Africa are rushing into Canada, so even less votes for the Dems soon.

No one is going to stop the new economy or what is changing which the American people want.

The other reason the Dems lost everything and will lose more in the next election cycle, is not only their candidates will be scoped out as the very nutty Alt-Left they are that the American people have rejected, the other reason is that it is now crystal clear that the Alt-Left is anti-freespeech, anti-freepress, central government bots of thin skin full of hate that the American people have rejected along with their rejection of the tyranny from the bench.

Long Live Milo Yiannopoulos

I'm sure that opponents are always on the mind of politicians but the current inhabitant of the White House and other members of his regime are unique in their paranoia and obsessiveness.
