The Donald Trump Score Card

Like he damaged healthcare to avenge Obama, Trump is damaging his own electorate by trying to sabotage the USPS to spite Amazon president Jeff Bezos who owns the Washington Post that Trump despises.

Expect more of the same if Trump has a second term.

Coronavirus Live Updates: Germany and U.S. on Divergent Paths to Reopen

excerpt:

"The ads will begin running nationally Wednesday night on “Hannity,” one of Mr. Trump’s favorite programs on Fox News, and on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show on Thursday. They do not mention the president but label his proposal to raise delivery prices “a massive package tax” on small businesses and Americans who rely on the mail for prescription drugs and other goods.

Amazon, CVS and others involved in the campaign rely on the Postal Service for the delivery of millions of packages a year. Their businesses could be disrupted significantly if the agency increased rates or went bankrupt."

 

From the New York Times, May 6, 2020:


"A Senate committee will hold a confirmation hearing today for 37-year-old Justin Walker, the youngest nominee to the federal appellate court in Washington since 1983. Walker is a protégé of Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, who called the Senate back to Washington this week in part for today’s hearing.

Walker’s likely confirmation is part of McConnell’s ambitious strategy for remaking the federal courts. He refused to confirm many nominees in President Barack Obama’s second term and has since helped Trump appoint more than one-quarter of all appellate judges."

 

This is awesome

Trump Calls for Tying Any Financial Aid to States Changing Their Sanctuary Policies

If states want any financial bailout, they gotta get rid of the sanctuary city policies

 

Awesome wouldn't be the word that would first come to mind for intelligent people. A President conditioning distribution of financial resources on the basis of ideological preferences is the Founding Fathers' worst nightmare. He isn't President of the United States--just the Red States.

 

The same Founding Fathers that owned slaves? They the Founding Fathers you are talking about?

 

It's about making sure the financial aid makes it to Americans in need, not illegals (the people who democrats believe deserve more privileges).

 

Thankyou Donald J for being a guy that gets a lot of press for finally saying it out loud:

"President Trump has complained to advisers about the way coronavirus deaths are being calculated, suggesting the real numbers are actually lower — and a number of his senior aides share this view, according to sources with direct knowledge."

Trump and some top aides question accuracy of coronavirus death toll


+100 to the Donald Trump Scorecard

 

Underestimating the true numbers of death from covid - 19 by 1000% !!!

 

Maths was never your strong point

 

Democrats Press Judicial Nominee, a McConnell Protégé, on Health Care Views
Judge Justin Walker seems headed for confirmation to an important appeals court despite concerns by critics that he would help unravel the Affordable Care Act.

Democrats Press Judicial Nominee, a McConnell Protégé, on Health Care Views

excerpt:

"Judge Walker would be the youngest person seated on the appeals court in Washington since 1983, and his limited professional job history remained a sticking point for Democrats.

“In his short time on the bench, Judge Walker — just 37 years old — has had virtually none of the experience one would expect of a district court judge before elevation to circuit,” Ms. Feinstein said. “He has not presided over any bench or jury trials. He has written opinions in only 12 total cases.”

Republicans expressed no qualms about his experience. And though the American Bar Association had rated Judge Walker “unqualified” for his service at the district court level before he was confirmed in October, the group on Tuesday issued a finding that he was “well qualified” for the more academic appeals court position.

“There is a long and rich tradition of academics being nominated to federal appellate court positions,” Judge Walker said."

 

Morning news reports - India is negotiating with the Trump Administration and "so-called" U.S. companies to move them from China to India. Let's see now how Trump is going to "bring back manufacturing to the U.S." Some of the companies he claims he "saved" for U.S. workers have, in fact, left the U.S.----- A factory Trump "claimed" he opened - actually opened during Obama's Presidency. More lies.

They aren't coming back here. They'll move to India after India's leader strokes Trump's ego and praises him. Or they'll move elsewhere - Mexico is another candidate - but NOT back to the U.S.A. American workers are "overpaid & lazy" according to business leaders and the Chamber of Commerce. Those "so called" U.S. companies want workers who obey every order without question, are happy with poverty-level pay, no benefits, no rights as workers, no voice in elections - basically indentured servants. Why can no one see the evidence??? If "so called" U.S. companies wanted to treat workers as equals and partners, and pay them decently to be able to raise a family, WHY DID THEY LEAVE AS FAST AS THEY COULD AFTER RONNIE REAGAN SAID, "We're going to change our economy from a manufacturing based economy to a service based economy." - on national TV???

They want cheap, cheap, CHEAP workers!!! No environmental rules and laws. No oversight, no OSHA to protect workers safety-wise. Those "so called" U.S. companies are NOT coming back to the U.S.A. !!! And so many of you thought Trump was your jobs savior ……………….. BAAAAAAAA - HAAAAAAAA - HAAAAAAAA - HAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!! He's going to sell out the U.S. workers just like every other REPUBLICAN from REAGAN to Georgy-porgy "W" Bush did. Hey ………………….. maybe your kids and grandkids can make a really nice living clerking in WAL-MART or HOME DEPOT or A GROCERY STORE !!! It's re-distributing wealth alright …………………… from the avg. worker citizen to the already-rich power brokers because of behind-closed-doors lobbying.

FACE the FACTS U.S. workers - The Chamber of Commerce ( which is really a UNION of businesses ) wants worker's rights abolished by "Supreme Court" pronouncement. Watch the attacks on the U.S. Postal Service workers coming up. Just watch what demands are placed on those workers - cuts in pay, benefits, workplace rules and rights, etc. Witness the attacks on teachers, nurses, skilled trades construction workers, etc. by business owners and management. IT'S COMING AT THE HANDS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and it's rich, money-loaded benefactors/donors who want even more money. Which political party ALWAYS fights AGAINST raising the minimum wage???? Why ………………… what do you know ………………….. it's the REPUBLICAN PARTY !!!! ( at the demand of the Chamber of Commerce )

So ……………………… what does all this tell you ( without coming out and saying it in words so it would be obvious ) ??? Business leaders think you're all paid too much !!!! And you continue to believe that manufacturing jobs are coming back to the U.S. There's so much handwriting on the wall ------ there isn't any wall left !!!! Folks who keep voting Republican have and will continue to vote for your own financial ruin & job elimination. Businesses DO NOT want to create better-paying jobs here in the U.S. THAT'S WHY THEY LEFT FOR CHINA, MEXICO, INDIA, MALAYSIA, BANGLADESH, HONDURAS, THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, SINGAPORE, TAIWAN, PAKISTAN, etc., etc.

Watch where those jobs go and who benefits. BAAAAAAAA - HAAAAAAAAA - HAAAAAAAAA - HAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!! Drink more of that toxic, lie - strewn Kool-aid. LEMMINGS. LEMMINGS. LEMMINGS !!!!!

 

More pressure by the Chamber of Commerce to get "business-friendly" judges seated so they can remove any workers' rights and give business-favorable environmental & workplace safety decisions. JUST WATCH.

 

Trump's electorate shouldn't expect any help with defending their right to affordable healthcare and jobs from the type of people Trump is nominating to the courts.

 

The people most likely to be hurt by Trump's sabotage of the healthcare system are the people who voted for him. They tend to be in the rural areas with the least amount of healthcare resources to defend themselves from damaging entities like the coronavirus and Trump.

The Obama administration's ACA gave the disadvantaged new options before Trump sabotaged it and replaced with nothing. Trump denied a call to reopen ACA enrollment during the coronavirus and vaguely said he would look at other options yet to be specified.

The stakes for the voters are higher in 2020.

In 2016, a then railing political outsider Trump inherited prosperity and a healthcare and trade system yet to be sabotaged by him to avenge China and Obama.

Trump is now a deep state nepotist and political insider who has inflicted damage onto the most vulnerable of his electorate, resorting to promises that he will somehow undo his damage in a second term.

Trump supporters are faced with considering whether Trump's bashing of previous administrations and other targets means more to them than their own health and life.

 

Trump shows no signs of veering from his cadence of punishing groups he doesn't like using his office as a coercion tool.

In the midst of a deadly pandemic, he's threatening to not fund states in an attempt to coerce them to comply with his stance on sanctuary cities which stems from his disdain for immigrants.

He's spending half a billion dollars to paint his U.S. taxpayer $25 billion border wall black because he thinks it will make it too hot to climb over, the wall that hasn't stopped illegal drug trafficking or invasion of viruses and the one he said Mexico would finance.

Trump is on a campaign to damage the USPS that businesses depend upon because he wants to avenge Jeff Bezos of Amazon who he dislikes because of his ownership of the Washington Post (whose subscription at the White House Trump canceled) by increasing Amazon's USPS shipping cost by a factor of four.

He's continuing to vent his frustration on the ACA and to appoint judges who show no interest in protecting job and healthcare rights needed by the most vulnerable of the Trump electorate.

Trump is expanding his effort to further punish China and the WHO for a virus that he refused to recognize as a threat after being informed about it by his own officials like Fauci who he is now blaming along with China and the WHO.

Trump's pathological mental masturbation is expected to continue and worsen during another four years if he is reelected.

 

I don't know what goes on there. I first read from VG that it was a conflict over a third male lover which somehow lead to the killing of the other two Chinese men. The local cops are now saying the same thing. I find it odd. First off, gay men are not typically violent and don't keep Glock pistols around for some convenient conflict resolution option. Second, Chinese society is like Japanese society ... polite and honorable. I say there is more to the story and likely has to do with the amount of money to be made from Coronavirus vaccine sales.

 

And he just got caught. The Venezuelan authorities have two American mercenaries on video … saying in English that Trump ordered the raid. American military adventurism has failed in Viet Nam, Sudan, Cambodia, Burma, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Angola, Libya, Tunisia, Cuba, Guatemala, Columbia, El Salvador, Ecuador, and has failed now in Venezuela. Trump has failed as commander-in-chief and in governing America and should leave global governance to a smarter leader.

 

I voted for Trump and all I have seen so far is that he is a man that keeps his word and gets his promises filled unlike any other President before him.
If you want to live with socialism and only have those in power and become a worker bee vote Democrat I want my freedom.
Believe all the phony news you want to but I just check with Google to get the truth.

 

I agree with you nd I will vote for him again.

Undocumented bullshit just like the liberal news.
I believe him and I think we should all just go back to work. People willl die of this virus but t will run its course like all of them before it and the survival rate is 98% world wide.
This is political people and we are loosing our country listening to those that c ry it is the end of the world
