The Donald Trump Score Card

Proof?

 

The daily coronavirus death toll in the U.S. exceeded a thousand on October 27.

The death rate has been rising gradually in the month of October toward the thousand per day mark. It's lagging the increase in cases similar to the pattern observed during the summer surge.

The hospitalizations and morbidity have already risen significantly during the autumn surge.

 

Instead of chanting to lock up the people plotting to kidnap the MI governor, Trump's rallygoers chanted to lock up the governor.

Trump questioned whether the kidnapping plot was real.

Trump suggests alleged Whitmer plot ‘maybe’ wasn’t a problem

excerpt:

"The Muskegon "lock her up" chant came less than two weeks after authorities revealed an alleged plot to kidnap the Democratic governor, who resides in Lansing.

Whitmer responded to the chant on Twitter: "This is exactly the rhetoric that has put me, my family, and other government officials’ lives in danger while we try to save the lives of our fellow Americans. It needs to stop."

In Lansing on Tuesday, Trump noted that his appointees — the U.S. attorneys for Detroit and Grand Rapids — filed the charges against six of the 14 defendants who are accused in the alleged kidnapping scheme. But the president seemed to question the strength of the cases.

“It was our people that helped her out with her problem," the president said. "We’ll have to see if it’s a problem, right? People are entitled to say maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn’t.”"

Trump apparently had $270 million of a loan forgiven.

"Trump, according to the newspaper, charged that Deutsche had engaged in "predatory lending practices." The bank responded with its own lawsuit demanding repayment of the loan.

In July 2010, Deutsche Bank, Fortress and Trump reached a private settlement without disclosing the terms, the Times reported. But Trump's federal tax returns and a loan document show that he had about $270 million in debt from the project forgiven.

The new details gleaned from the President's tax records build on previous New York Times reports that detailed how Trump paid no federal income taxes whatsoever in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000 because he reported losing significantly more than he made."

 

More than half the total number of people who voted in 2016 have already voted in 2020.

News reports have said that the percentage of undecided voters in 2020 is about half of what it was in 2016.

It gives little leeway for a candidate to alter the outcome of the election between now and the election.



2020 Election Live Updates: A Week Before Election Day, More Than Half the 2016 Vote Is Already In

excerptL

"The early vote is even more dramatic in a number of key battleground states, including several that polls have suggested are unusually close this year. Texas has already received nearly 87 percent of the votes it counted in the 2016 election, Florida has already received more than two-thirds, North Carolina has received 72 percent and Georgia 71 percent. Wisconsin and Michigan are both approaching the halfway mark.

“The numbers are stunning,” Michael P. McDonald, a professor of political science at the University of Florida who gathers the data for the elections project, wrote in a recent analysis for the United States Elections Project, which tracks the early vote closely."

 

Many of those votes occurred during early voting the past month when Trump shot himself in the foot with his coronavirus debacles, which likely cost him votes of older and pragmatic-minded people.

 

The optics-driven but myopic Trump just couldn't resist doing the Rose Garden Massacre that he thought would garner votes.

The event was mishandled to an extreme. Moreover, the entire event was avoidable and unnecessary.

 

Don't hold your breath.

That would be the Rose Garden 'massacre'.....where no one actually got sick

 

What we do know is Trump had COVID-19 before the Rose Garden event and the debate

He was either tested before the debate, found to be positive, but wasn’t forthcoming, or he simply wasn’t tested which was extremely irresponsible.

 

So we downgrading from 'massacre' to 'extremely irresponsible' now?

 

Me and Tishmingo have cited several Supreme Court cases over the last several years. I don't have all my constitutional law class books, but remember lots of the cases. VG is full of du du as usual.

 

You are full of shit as usual.

 

I never said "Rubbish" so go and learn to read and learn to understand while at it.

 

Trump accused Obama of being at a rally, and no one showed up. Guess what, neither did Obama. There wasn't a rally.

 

Semantics, that's your argument? lololol

Don't bother trying to talk about the constitution to vg. It's a waste of time.

 

Trump leaves his enthusiasts stranded at the airport for hours in the icy cold in Nebraska which is a coronavirus hot spot region (not unusual for most Trump supporting locations he visits).

His supporters pack themselves onto buses to reach his airport events, a behavior that is yet another risk for spreading the virus in addition to the rally itself.

It would be like packing hundreds of people onto buses to attend his Rose Garden Massacre.



Hundreds stranded in the cold waiting for buses in chaotic post-Trump rally scene - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"For months, the Trump campaign has utilized the practice of busing supporters from parking lots to the rally sites as a way to accommodate the large crowds. His events have been held in locations such as small airports that don't normally draw rally sized crowds and therefore don't have onsite parking available to support the crush of people and crowds.

That has created a scenario where thousands of people are left to wait for hours after the event ends for buses to shuttle them back to their cars. At an event in Gastonia, North Carolina, last Wednesday hundreds of supporters were forced to make the decision to either wait for the bus or walk several miles down a busy road, without sidewalks, to their parking lots.

Even those who make it on a bus, only do so after a long wait packed in with hundreds of other people -- most not wearing a mask -- until they board the bus where every single seat is taken and no social distancing is practiced.

It's unlikely that any of the rally-goers would change their votes since they count as some of the most committed supporters. But it's hardly the kind of local news you want to generate -- especially in Nebraska, which is experiencing a fourth-straight week of record Covid cases."
