Donald Trump, the Republican nominee front-runner, leans in to give Alicia Watkins a kiss on the cheek while a colleague watches in the background after Trump offered her a job because she had a ‘great look’.
A black woman, who was identified as Alicia Watkins, asked Trump for a job and he brought her to the podium. He then suggested that if they could agree upon a salary, she’d be brought onto the staff at the hotel, which he set to open this fall. He did not, however, break out his catchphrase “You’re hired!”
AS USUAL, the mainstream media lied even about this claiming and implying that it was Trump who offered her a job out of the blue, despite everything being videotaped and broadcasted live. They failed to mention that it was she who asked him for a job during the conference.
Donald Trump has offered the black woman a job and complimented her, told her that she had a ‘great look’ when she asked him a question at a press conference held at one of his hotel projects, despite being a “racist nazi Hitler”, according to mindless leftist morons.
Freelance blogger Alicia Watkins, 38, had asked him a question about hiring veterans at the under-construction building in Washington DC.
He responded by pulling her onstage in front of the press and asking her about her qualifications.
Telling Trump she was a 9/11 survivor, an Iraq and Afghanistan vet and a retired Air Force staff sergeant, Watkins – who also claims she was once homeless – was given clearance by the candidate’s campaign staff to ask a question beforehand.
Watkins approached the stage and told The Donald she did ‘design’ briefs and ‘all kinds of decorations’ for interiors.
She then asked if his new hotel in Washington would include a veterans employment program and Trump said it would.
According to The New York Post, he said: ‘We need good people, so what’s your experience, in front of the world?’
He later told gathered press: ‘If we can make a good deal on the salary, she’s probably going to have a job.
‘She looks so smart. She asked a question and it was a very positive question. She looks like she’s got a great look.’
She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek before being whisked away by one of Trump’s associates.
The Trump campaign told CNNMoney that Watkins worked for a website called ‘Troops Media’ – which focuses on military affairs for veterans.
However, according to CNNMoney there is no such website and when informed, the Trump campaign said they would examine the issue.
In 2010, Watkins, who was then homeless, appeared on Oprah and also last year took part in a ‘Where Are They Now?’ segment.
She told the daytime television host she had been accepted to Harvard on the G.I. Bill.
The Republican front-runner said his ‘gut instinct’ told him that the woman – who later identified herself as Alicia Watkins of Maryland – would be a good hire.
The episode was the latest example of the master marketer’s increasing tendency to intermingle his campaign with his business ventures, leveraging the attention he’s attracted on the campaign trail to boost his brand.
In recent weeks, Trump has held multiple events on his various Florida properties, including his Mar-a-Lago club in West Palm Beach and a duo of nearby golf courses.
At one election night event, he felt compelled to have his staff display numerous Trump-branded products, including bottles of still and sparkling wine from a family-owned vineyard bearing his name.
Trump asked a Latino woman, a LEGAL migrant to join the stage during Tucson, Arizona rally so that people can see her “Latinos For Trump” sign.
But mentioned most often is the hotel project, which Trump has repeatedly touted as evidence of the kind of thinking he’ll bring to the White House.
The project, he likes to brag, is on budget and scheduled to be completed in September – two years ahead of schedule, he says.
It also gives him the option of living on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, regardless of whether or not he ends up in the White House.
Trump spent the beginning of the press conference touting the project, which will employ 500 people, feature 300 ‘super luxury’ guest rooms and sport a lobby floor that would be ‘covered in marble, beautiful marble from different parts of the world’.
‘We want to make this one of the great hotels in the world and I think it’s coming out that way. I think you’re going to be very proud of it, the country will be very proud of it,’ he said.

Twin bomb attacks that rocked the capital of Belgium this morning have served to throw fresh light on comments made by Donald Trump back in January when he was criticized for labeling Brussels a jihadist “hellhole”.
Dozens of people were killed and many more injured after attacks at Brussels international airport and a city metro station.
The attacks were as predictable as they were tragic. Brussels is the jihadist capital of Europe, having supplied the highest number of foreign fighters per capita in Iraq and Syria.
Radicalized Muslim ghettos like Molenbeek serve as breeding grounds for Islamic terrorism, with Paris massacre culprit Salah Abdeslam having been able to hide in and around the area for four months with the help of “friends and neighbors,” proving once again that many Muslims are sympathetic to jihadist sentiment.
Republican front runner Donald Trump identified Brussels as a jihadist hotbed back in January, but he was criticized for ‘insulting’ the Belgian capital by numerous media outlets and pundits.
Asked by Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo about his plan to put a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, Trump cited Brussels as an example of how the failure of immigrants to assimilate was ruining Europe.
“There is something going on, Maria,” he said. “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law, where they want this, where they want things that — you know, there has to be some assimilation. There is no assimilation. There is something bad going on.”
“You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” Trump added.

A new New York Times-CBS poll was released on Monday.
The results show candidate Donald Trump has gained an additional 11 points in the past 30 days and now leads with 46% support nationally.
All that Trump bashing by GOP elites has only helped the GOP front-runner.
The #Never Trump crowd is hurt the most.
Via Conservative Treehouse:

The poll also shows that only 17% of Republicans today would not support Donald Trump.
19% of Republicans said they would not support Ted Cruz.
In other words only 17% of Republican voters agree with the #NeverTrump crowd.
That has to hurt.
It must feel lonely out there.

A blast at the Maalbeek metro station in Brussels has killed at least 20 people according the local transport operator STIB. The explosion took place less than an hour after a deadly airport suicide bombing, which killed at least 14 people, making a total of 34 killed, plus dozens of other people injured.
The Belgian broadcaster mentions that the death toll is between at least 20 people, while a further 130 people have been injured following the explosion, according to the public transport operator STIB, as cited by Reuters.
100 people have also been injured at the Zaventem Airport, making it a total of 230 injuries
The Federal Public Prosecutor has confirmed that the Maalbeek metro station blast was a terrorist attack, according to the Belga news agency.
It is widely believed that the two attacks came in retaliation to the arrest of the Paris jihadi terrorist caught being protected by his neighbors in Brussels recently. More attacks are expected by the Belgian authorities.
Large amounts of smoke have been seen coming out of the metro station in the Belgian capital. Brussels’ transport authority says all metro stations in the city have been closed, Reuters reports.

An AP reporter said he say a number of people with facial injuries following the explosion at the Maalbeek metro station. Alexandre Brans, who was wiping blood from his face, said that he saw at least two people being carried away on stretchers.
“The metro was leaving Maelbeek station when there was a really loud explosion. It was panic everywhere. There were a lot of people in the metro,” he said.
Images on social media have shown passengers being evacuated from inside the metro and walking along the train tracks.
“It is just a pure chaos at the moment on the streets,” Annie Machon, a former intelligence officer for MI5, who lives in a Belgium capital told RT. “The metro bombing was in Maalbeek, which is indeed 5 minutes down the road from me. The whole of the area is just now in lockdown, the sirens going off everywhere, there are helicopters overhead,” she added.
The Maalbeek station is also near a number of important EU buildings such as Berlaymont building, which houses the EU Commission and the Council of the European Union.
Staff working at the EU commission have also been told to stay indoors.
Belgian authorities have raised the security alert to the highest level following blasts at the Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek Metro station.
Due to the current security situation in Brussels, the city’s transport authority has closed all public transport services.
Eurostar has taken the decision in the wake of the attacks to cancel trains running to and from Brussels on Tuesday. Staff have told people not to come to the station and that tickets can be exchanged for free.
“No trains are currently running to or from Brussels Midi,” the high speed rail service said on its Twitter feed, as cited by Reuters. “Brussels customers are advised to postpone, and not come to station.”
Meanwhile, a crisis center in Brussels has been telling members of the public to “stay where you are.” The Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has also issued a similar plea to the people of Brussels.
The general public in the Belgian capital is also being advised not to call friends and family as the phone networks are becoming saturated. Instead, people are being asked to text or use social media in order to stay in touch with friends and family.
The attacks in Brussels have been condemned by Martin Schulz, the president of the European Parliament, who described them as being “heinous attacks.”
“My thoughts with #Brussels and its citizens after these heinous attacks. Stay in a safe place, follow instructions of authorities,” he wrote on his Twitter feed.
The French BFMTV station, citing police sources, says that Belgian intelligence had advanced knowledge of the terrorist attacks in the country, but did not know when and where they would take place.
French citizen Salah Abdeslam, the prime surviving suspect for November’s Paris attacks on a stadium, cafes and a concert hall, which killed 130 people, was captured by Belgian police following a shootout on Friday.
Belgium’s Interior Minister, Jan Jambon, said on Monday the country was on high alert for a revenge attack.
“We know that stopping one cell can … push others into action. We are aware of it in this case,” he told public radio, as cited by Reuters

An Australian TV station has released a shocking report showing its crew being attacked by masked men in a Stockholm suburb know as ‘Little Mogadishu’ due to it’s primarily Somali population.
The 60 Minutes crew from Australia, headed by Liz Hayes and guided by Jan Sjunnesson, were attacked by immigrant youths in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby, also called “Little Mogadishu”.
Since the report was filmed last month, Swedish police have dropped all charges, despite the migrants throwing missile and punches, fly kicking the journalist, and even running one over with a car.
The Channel Nine crew and high-profile Australian news correspondent, Liz Hayes, had traveled to the Swedish capital to investigate how the migrant “overload” has affected Swedish society.
Upon entering a migrant area, Rinkeby, they were quick to discover some of those effects, and why it is that they have become known as “no-go zones”.
