The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump will probably say he 'won' that motion.

When a reporter asked Trump is he would use campaign money to pay the $83 million judgment against him in the Carroll case, Trump said that he 'won' that case.

 

Polls in August 2023 showed that Trump would easily win the 2024 GOP nomination.

They were correct.

In spite of that, Pence has stated publicly that Trump should not be brought to justice. Instead, 'history' should be the judge of Trump.

 

For the second time in a week, Biden has referred to meeting with leaders who were already dead when he said he met with them.

Trump's been saying he will save the world from World War II and has been referring to Biden as Obama and Haley as Pelosi.


In his second mix-up this week, Biden talks about meeting with dead European leaders

excerpt:

President Joe Biden on Wednesday twice referred to the late German chancellor Helmut Kohl instead of former Chancellor Angela Merkel while detailing a 2021 conversation at campaign events.

It was the second time this week that Biden had recalled speaking with a European leader who had died years earlier.

Biden's gaffes Wednesday came at a series of fundraisers in New York as he described conversations he said he had with European leaders at a meeting of the Group of Seven industrialized nations in the U.K. in 2021, months after the Jan. 6 riot.

At a campaign rally last month, Trump railed at length against GOP rival Nikki Haley, but he appeared to have Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on his mind. Trump — who has accused Pelosi of turning down 10,000 soldiers on Jan. 6, when she was the House speaker, in a claim that has been debunked — said at the rally that Haley was in charge of security the day the Capitol was attacked."

 

When Bob Dole was running for president in 1996, he referred to the Atlanta Braves baseball team as the Milwaukee Braves (the name of the team before it moved to Atlanta in 1966, three decades before Dole's remark).

 

A show like South Park needs to do a parody of the 2024 presidential election with Trump and Biden.

An episode of South Park did a parody of Rod Stewart on stage in concert in a wheelchair doing nothing but repeatedly muttering 'poop pants' while the rock band behind him was wailing away.

excerpt:

"Putin’s government also has crushed free speech, banned any public expression of LGBTQ+ identity and jailed hundreds of antiwar activists, critics, feminists, lawyers and cultural figures for speaking out.

Pro-Trump Republicans are a natural ally for Putin on LGBTQ+ and other issues but also because the Kremlin has long sought to exploit divisions in American society and interfere in U.S. politics, including through the use of internet troll farms.

“Carlson is smart and his agenda is clear. He and Putin will work together brilliantly to reinforce the false narrative about Ukraine, weaken Biden, and strengthen Trump,” Janis Kluge, a Berlin-based Russia analyst, wrote about the likely U.S. presidential rematch. “This co-production of theirs may be the most effective and toxic propaganda clip yet created.”"

 

GOP continues to damage its reputation in Congress in the name of Trump.


"What the hell are they thinking?": Furious Republicans erupt over "embarrassing" defeat

excerpt:

"The hotly debated proposed impeachment was the result of House GOP efforts to oust Mayorkas for perceived failure to enforce U.S. immigration policies at the border, violating public trust, and “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law," per the Washington Post. Multiple hearings were held to discuss the impeachment proceedings, with many Democratic lawmakers claiming that they were baseless and politically motivated, also highlighting previous and ethically questionable border proposals made by former president Donald Trump, including building alligator moats along the border.

Axios described the recent Republican losses as part of an ongoing pattern in which the party fails to advance legislation due to their largely polarized conference."

Republicans in Congress are bending to Trump's demands. Some are frustrated.

excerpt:

According to prosecutors, Todd climbed bleachers erected in advance of the presidential inauguration and entered the Capitol. Once inside, he shouted out and threatened officers – at one point yelling, “I will hip toss you into the f***ing crowd!”

When police attempted to remove Todd and other rioters from the building, he engaged in a scuffle with DC Police Officer Noah Rathbun that resulted in Todd’s flagpole snapping. Splintered fragments of the pole sliced open Rathbun’s finger, requiring stitches. Todd then yelled at Rathbun, “Throw down your badge and gun, let’s go one-on-one!”

Trump is still blaming Pelosi for his riot at the Capitol.


Trump Bizarrely Claims Jan. 6 Riot Was Caused by Nancy Pelosi

 

If it's any consolation to Trump, even though his accusation is false, this time he at least falsely accused Pelosi for the riot instead of mistakenly referring to her as Haley, like he did in a lengthy rant about Haley during a campaign rally.

 

Trump Bizarrely Claims Jan. 6 Riot Was Caused by Nancy Pelosi

excerpt:

“I heard, and I watched, and the one thing I’ll say is they kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection, which I think was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi,” he said. “I said peacefully and patriotically... Take a look at the statements I made before and after, and you’ll see a whole different dialogue.”
