The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump grows frustrated with GOP for not touting his ‘greatest economy in history’

excerpt:

"They were hitting me with eggs. Eggs had quadrupled in price, and they're screaming at me. I said, ‘I just got here,’" Trump explained. "We got eggs down. We got it all down."

 

It had nothing to do with Trump.

The virus that caused egg prices to rise subsided.

The situation with high beef prices won't be as simple.

 

Cost of Trump's military occupations of U.S. cities is currently about a half-billion dollars.


Trump’s Military Occupations of U.S. Cities Cost $473 Million and Rising

excerpt:

"The skyrocketing price of Trump’s occupations come as the president threatens to deploy additional troops to more American cities to quell dissent and turn America into a full-blown police state. Trump recently said he could “send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines — I could send anybody I wanted” into urban America — while threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, one of the executive branch’s most potent, oldest, and rarely used emergency powers. He has specifically threatened to surge troops into Baltimore, New York City, Oakland, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Seattle to put down supposed rebellions and to aid law enforcement agencies, despite falling crime numbers and pushback by local officials. Troops are also expected to be deployed to New Orleans later this month."

US firefighter detained on the job speaks out after deportation: ‘I feel betrayed’

excerpt:

Targeting a wildfire was part of the Trump administration’s strategy of “broad and indiscriminate” detentions with little care for public safety concerns, he said. “Arresting first responders fighting a fire is a terrible idea, just like setting up an immigration checkpoint on an evacuation route. There are things that are more important than civil enforcement, including life and preventing major damage to property.”

 

Justice Department says it's investigating "violent riots" at UC Berkeley Turning Point USA event

excerpt:

"Bondi wrote in a post on X that the "violent riots" Monday evening at the California school are under investigation by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force."

 

Trump pardoned about 1,500 of his rioters who violently stormed the Capitol.

Trump Wants to Send in Troops to Save … Commercial Real Estate?

excerpt:

"Donald Trump’s latest excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act: commercial real estate vacancy in downtown Chicago."

 

Trump calls for the military to be sent into Chicago to protect the 'Miracle Mile Shopping Center'.

No such mall exists in Chicago or the entire state of Illinois.

Trump Demands ‘CALL IN THE TROOPS’ to Protect Chicago Shopping Center That Doesn’t Exist

excerpt:

"Media outlets were quick to report that no such shopping center exists, however. “Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Monroeville, Pennsylvania, all have shopping malls or centers by that name, but none exist in Chicago or even in Illinois.

There is, however, a Magnificent Mile shopping district in Chicago, which the president likely was referring to. The Magnificent Mile spans 13 blocks in downtown Chicago and offers high-end shopping and fine dining,” wrote Kelly Corbett for Syracuse.com."

 

Trump's latest excuse for completely demolishing the east wing of the White House which he had previously said publicly he wouldn't do.


Trump downplays economic woes as partisan spin, saying, 'Costs are way down'

excerpt:

"But the East Wing, that building was renovated 20 times, including adding a floor to the top, which was terrible, Trump continued. “It was at a common brick little, tiny windows. It looked like hell. It had nothing to do with the original building, and I didn't want to sacrifice a great ballroom for an okay ballroom by leaving it right smack in the middle.”

 

Trump says costs are way down across the board and reports of economic pain are fake.


Trump downplays economic woes as partisan spin, saying, 'Costs are way down'

excerpt:

"So are you ready? Costs are way down," Trump said. "Gasoline is going to be hitting $2 pretty soon, or around $2. Gasoline is at $2.70 now and it was at $4.50 under Biden, under sleepy Joe. When gasoline comes down, when energy comes down -- and everybody agrees energy is down -- we drill, you know, drill, baby drill. We're going like wild."

The average consumer price for a gallon of gas in the U.S. was $3.072 on Tuesday, according to AAA, which said the average price was $3.083 a gallon a year ago.

 

‘A classic authoritarian tactic’: outrage over Trump’s pardons for friends and allies

excerpt:

Lacovara called the commutation of Santos’ sentence after only a few months in prison “bewildering”. He stressed that Santos “never exhibited any remorse for his chain of frauds, and his sentence was well within the federal guidelines for his crimes”.

Similarly, Lacovara condemned the pardon of Zhao as part of Trump’s “pay-to-play policy approach to pardons”, and was skeptical of Trump’s vague explanation that “people whom he trusted recommended this otherwise incomprehensible exoneration. The Trump family connection with crypto based fortunes suggests a likely source for that recommendation.”

 

Gregory Bovino and Border Patrol agents plan to leave Chicago area, sources say

excerpt:

"Bovino, who once led a Border Patrol sector along the California-Mexico border, has become one of the most well-known figures enforcing President Trump's clampdown on illegal immigration. Earlier this year, he led sweeping Border Patrol operations in the Los Angeles region that generated significant backlash, including arrests at Home Depot parking lots and car washes. Bovino personally participated in some of those sweeps.

In Chicago and surrounding communities, Bovino has followed a similar playbook, joining Border Patrol agents in arrest operations that have often sparked tense confrontations with local residents. He's also joined federal agents when they've repelled protesters using tear gas, pepper balls, pepper spray and other tactics that have come under scrutiny. Agents have also been captured on video pointing guns at civilians."

 

Kristi Noem is ICE Barbie.

Gregory Bovino is ICE G.I. Joe.

 

It causes people near him to faint.

Not just warm. The scent isn't good either.

Ousted immigration judge describes deepening court backlog

excerpt:

"ICE earlier this year at the court where ICE served, which is in the Washington, D.C., area, began on a regular basis arresting people who were showing up for their preliminary hearings in their case. These are people who typically did not have criminal records. These are people who were not doing anything wrong. They were trying to follow the law by showing up for their immigration court hearings, like they had been told they had to do.

In many of these cases, ICE was waiting for the hearing to be over. Then, when they left the courtroom, they were immediately arrested. And this wasn't just people showing up on their own. In some cases, these were people who came as part of a family. In some cases, following the hearing, ICE would arrest, let's say, the father and the family in front of the mother and the family and their children, who had all come to court together."

 

More Americans are unhappy with the way Trump is managing the government, AP-NORC poll shows

excerpt:

“I’m thoroughly disturbed by the government shutdown for 40-something days,” said Beverly Lucas, 78, a Republican and retired educator who lives in Ormond Beach, Florida, and compared Trump’s second term to “having a petulant child in the White House, with unmitigated power.”
