The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump to send migrants to Libya.

Trump Surprises Canada and Carney With New Message: We Love You

excerpt:

“Regardless of anything,” Mr. Trump declared at one point, “we’re going to be friends with Canada.”

 

Trump is pretending that the U.S. and Canada don't do much trade together.


Fact check: Trump claimed the US doesn’t do ‘much business with Canada.’ Canada is the world’s top buyer of US exports

excerpt:

“We don’t do much business with Canada from our standpoint. They do a lot of business with us. We’re at like 4%,” Trump said.

That “4%” figure is wrong. Official US data shows that Canada bought about 17% of US goods exports in February and March, the last month for which data is available – more than any other country. Canada bought about 16% of US goods exports in January, second only to Mexico.

 

If Mexicans or Muslins did what Trump's rioters did, he'd be calling for the death penalty.

Trump wanted ten-year prison sentences for defacing a federal government statue if it was done by Black Lives Matter but not his rioters.

 

Kari Lake is reconstituting VOA as OAN.


https://www.npr.org/2025/05/07/nx-s...far-right-coverage-will-fuel-voice-of-america

excerpt:

"Lake put nearly the entire workforce on indefinite leave. Under the current status of pending litigation filed by a coalition of Voice of America journalists, agency employees, unions and press advocacy groups, the U.S. Agency for Global Media must run programs on Voice of America once again. The addition of OAN might help Lake accomplish that without reconstituting the network as it was."

 

Federal judge orders return of deported migrant to US, rejecting Trump request

excerpt:

"Gallagher ruled in April that the government violated a 2024 settlement between DHS and a group of young asylum seekers, including Lozano-Camargo. Under that deal, DHS agreed not to deport the migrants – all of whom entered the U.S. as unaccompanied children – until their cases were fully heard in court.

Last month, Gallagher said Lozano-Camargo’s deportation was a "breach of contract," since his asylum case had not yet been heard, and ordered the U.S. government to facilitate his release."

 

Or else what, they send in Wyatt Earp to Mara Lard-blow?

 

Federal judge orders Trump admin to immediately resettle 12K migrants

excerpt:

"This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says," Whitehead wrote on Monday. "The Government is free, of course, to seek further clarification from the Ninth Circuit. But the Government is not free to disobey statutory and constitutional law — and the direct orders of this Court and the Ninth Circuit — while it seeks such clarification."

 

Interest rates on hold as Trump chaos continues.

They'll send in a thousand law enforcement agents to arrest Trump. Would you believe it? A thousand agents.

(You know, I find that hard to believe.)

Oh. How about a hundred agents?

(I don't think so.)

A group of boy scouts?

 

Trump's trade war becomes increasingly confusing.

Exports go quiet in U.S.


Trump trade tariffs slump widens to 'nearly all U.S. exports,' supply chain data shows

excerpt:

"What began as a rapid drop in U.S. imports as shippers cut orders from manufacturing partners around the world has now extended into a nationwide export slump, with the U.S. agricultural sector and top farm products including soybeans, corn and beef taking the hardest hit."

 

Trump to nominate MAHA enthusiast to be next surgeon general.


Trump announces MAHA advocate Casey Means will be new surgeon general nominee

excerpt:

"Trump previously announced he would nominate Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor, to be surgeon general.

It's unclear why Nesheiwat's nomination was pulled. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for more information."

 

Republicans grow antsy after Trump comments on tariffs, recession

excerpt:

“I think there’s just a lot of uneasiness,” said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of GOP leadership. “They keep saying they’re close to a deal with a country, so I think that would be helpful to show that there’s progress here. I think people are sort of wondering where this is all going to lead.”

 

Trump appoints former ‘Real Housewives’ star to Holocaust Museum board
Other appointees include a longtime Republican political consultant.
May 7, 2025 at 2:56 p.m. EDT

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-m...um-board-trump-siggy-flicker-real-housewives/

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump named five new members to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council on Monday night, including a former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” television star whose stepson was charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The appointments, and eight others Trump made last week, will replace members he fired April 29, all of whom had been named by President Joe Biden."

 

Article from April 2024.


Stepson of former ‘Real Housewives’ star arrested on January 6 charges

excerpt:

"The stepson of a former cast member of the Real Housewives of New Jersey has been arrested in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot, according to court filings.

Tyler Campanella, stepson of Sigalit “Siggy” Flicker, was arrested in New York on Wednesday, NBC News reported.

He faces five misdemeanour charges based on his actions on the day that a mob of Donald Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol to stop the certification of electoral college votes for President Joe Biden."

 

Another delusional statement by Trump.
