The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump is still battling police officers who were at the Capitol who are suing Trump for the injuries he caused them during his riot.

 

Trump can be expected to give awards to his rioters when he returns to office.

 

Musk's self-centered remark is similar to how Trump boasted that his apartment tower in NY was supposedly great for fire containment after a tenant died in a fire caused by an overloaded outlet strip.

Trump never mentioned the death of the tenant, a man he didn't like, even though he liked the man's father.

 

That was June 2024.

Since then, it has become more outlandish.


The Supreme Court gave Trump presidential immunity.

Judge Cannon completely threw out the criminal documents case against Trump.

Jack Smith has dropped the two federal criminal cases against Trump.

Trump won all seven battleground states.

Trump nominated Matt Gaetz to be attorney general of the U.S. and a slew of other unqualified people for top posts in his second administration.

Musk's worth went up 77% after the 2024 election.

Musk who is worth over $400 billion is acting like he's the president and living at Mar-a-Lago.

Other top billionaires are visiting Mar-a-Lago.

Cybertruck blast suspect was a ‘Rambo type’ who loved Trump, family says

excerpt:

“Matt was a very skilled warrior, and he would be able to make — if it was him, and if he did this — he would’ve been able to make a more sophisticated explosive than using propane tanks and camping fuel. He was what you might call a ‘supersoldier.’ If you ever read about the things he was awarded, and the experience he had, some of it doesn’t make sense, when he had the skills and ability to make something more, let’s say, ‘efficient.’ His skills were enormous from what he had been taught in the military.”

With Livelsberger’s skills, his uncle suggested, his nephew “could have fashioned a bomb that would have obliterated half of that hotel if he seriously wanted to hurt others.”

“Think of Oklahoma City,” he said. “McVeigh was just a normal soldier. Not a Tier 1 operator like Matt.”

 

Trump and GOP allies falsely blame New Orleans attack on immigration failures

excerpt:

Donald Trump Jr., the president-elect's eldest son, posted a news article about the erroneous report, saying, "Biden’s parting gift to America — migrant terrorists."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted shortly after the initial segment: “New Orleans terrorist attacker is said to have come across the border in Eagle Pass TWO DAYS AGO!!! Shut the border down!!!”

Later Wednesday, Fox News quoted Trump's Truth Social posted and then noted, "To be clear, the suspect was born in the United States."

Despite Fox's clarifications, Trump doubled down on his message Thursday in posts on Truth Social, saying that the Biden administration's handling of the nation's borders has led to "a violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy."

 

DA Willis has denounced AG Carr for using the Trump criminal case to promote himself as he runs for governor of Georgia.

Carr has publicly urged the GA Supreme Court to reject the appeal by Willis after a lower court ruled to remove her from the Trump criminal case.


Fani Willis Denounces Georgia AG Who Urged Court To Ignore Her Appeal of Her Disqualification From Trump Case

excerpt:

Ms. Willis, in a statement obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, declared that if “Mr. Carr cannot separate his ambition to become Governor from his duties as Attorney General, he should resign and focus on being a full-time candidate rather than serving as a constitutional officer sworn to uphold the Constitutions and laws of the United States and Georgia.”

Trump response to recent attacks offers ominous outlook for terror in next term

excerpt:

Delivered just 18 days before his return to the White House, Trump’s bleak prognosis seemed an ominous harbinger of counter-violence – especially when combined with his false accompanying message that the episodes confirmed his frequent warnings against open borders and illegal immigrants. Both perpetrators were American-born US citizens.

“It’s about the most extreme language you can get when it comes to anti-immigrant comments,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, a group dedicated to tracking far-right movements.

“The attacks on immigrants, coming from Trump for a long time now, and inflamed by the situation where the person who did the [New Orleans] attack is not even an immigrant, are certainly going to raise the level of violence and attacks on immigrants in the country.”

By blaming Biden for the New Orleans attack, Trump may be setting himself up for failure

excerpt:

“Not sure it happens on January 20, but the idea that folks important to our national security that President Trump nominated should be confirmed quickly was always the case, but that urgency has been increased 1000x after the terrorist attacks over the past few days," the official wrote to NBC News. "If there are remaining Republican senators who still are on the fence, it’s time for them to get off, or hear from the American people.”

 

Trump is the extremism. He incites it in his followers.

It can cause more violence than in just his followers because it creates a backlash from other groups.

His insurrection at the Capitol is a grand example of him being able to radicalize people to act violently by spreading lies over a couple months after the 2020 election.

The bid to tackle extremism in U.S. military is unlikely to continued under Trump.


Bid to tackle extremism in US military unlikely to be revived under Trump

 

No one in the U.S. should standing around with the mouth hanging open wondering how people can be radicalized so quickly to commit violent acts (like what happened with the Boston marathon bombing). Trump is an up-close textbook example of how it's done.

Judge Merchan expected to sentence Trump to unconditional discharge in hush money criminal case.

The scheduled sentencing date is Jan. 10.


Judge in Trump's hush money case expected to sentence him to 'unconditional discharge'

excerpt:

Merchan, in his ruling, described Trump's conduct as a "premediated and continuous deception by the leader of the free world."

"To vacate this verdict on the grounds that the charges are insufficiently serious given the position Defendant once held, and is about to assume again, would constitute a disproportionate result and cause immeasurable damage to the citizenry's confidence in the Rule of Law," the ruling said.

 

Trump will appeal the sentencing date and try to delay it indefinitely.

Merchan delayed the sentencing three times to about 10 days before Trump takes office. He could have committed on the sentencing months ago. It gives Trump another last-ditch opportunity to delay it into his second term which he can then use as an excuse to delay it until after he's out of office in January 2029.

 

China has prepared for Trump's expanded tariff wars.


Chinese Companies Have Sidestepped Trump’s Tariffs. They Could Do It Again.

excerpt:

"Chinese bicycle factories moved their final manufacturing and assembly operations out of China, setting up new facilities in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia and India. Using parts mostly from China, those companies made bicycles that they could export directly to the United States — without paying the 25 percent tariff had the bike been shipped straight from China."
