The Donald Trump Score Card

Here in Massachusetts they’re already gearing up for the 400th anniversary celebration next year of the landing of the Mayflower in 1620

 

They're the oldest moving company in the world.

 

I hope they have some of those attack helicopters. They’re really cool.

 

Progressive liberals are such dour negative people. Lighten up.

July 4th fireworks donor lobbied President Trump on tariffs and won a reprieve

excerpts:

"Company executives said the donation had been in the works for months and that the gift was not politically motivated.

The Interior Department, which is overseeing the event, declined to comment on its policy for vetting and accepting donations."



"Trump's praise of the companies also appeared to skirt federal ethics guidelines, which prohibit any executive branch employee from using his position to promote a business, product or person.

The White House declined to comment about the potential conflict of interest."

Editorial: More chaos than clarity in Trump's handling of border migratory flood

excerpt:

"Still, Tuesday’s abrupt departure of Customs and Border Protection chief John Sanders underscores how Trump’s improvised approach to immigration enforcement, like his trade policies and confrontation with Iran, are yielding more chaos than clarity.

Trump can threaten Mexico with trade sanctions and curtail development aid to Central America, but the result would be the exact opposite of a solution. The greater the economic hardship he imposes on those countries, the heavier will be the migratory flow."

Trump suffers new border wall construction setback

excerpt:

"US President Donald Trump has again been thwarted in his attempt to use military money to fund his wall along the border with Mexico.

On Saturday, he lodged an appeal against a ruling by a judge blocking him from using defence department funds for anti-drug activities.

But a panel of the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the freeze, saying it was up to Congress to allocate funds."

excerpts:

"When Trump tweeted that he would explore delaying the count, some Justice Department officials were left scratching their heads, they said, because such a move would be legally impossible."


"“I have to think that sanity prevailed with respect to the incredible disruption to our representational democracy that delaying the census would have caused,” said Terri Ann Lowenthal, a former staff director of the House census oversight subcommittee. “I doubt anyone at the Justice or Commerce departments could figure out how to overcome the constitutional and statutory hurdles.”"
