The Donald Trump Score Card

Notice Trump has not demanded the Sage Brush Rebellion ranchers return all the millions they borrowed in USDA loans. This is while he says Unemployed Americans don't deserve an extension of their weekly benefits pursuant the Coronavirus economic catastrophe, which in his mind is a danger to only Paul Manafort and Roger Stone.

White House turns on Fauci as disaster grows out of aggressive state openings - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump is meanwhile highlighting claims that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, doctors, media and the Democrats are lying about the country's pandemic -- the world's worst -- in order to crush the economy on which he is relying for reelection.

The new campaign of deception is accelerating a day after Florida recorded the highest-ever single daily caseload of new infections for any US state and as the daily total of confirmed cases nationwide hits a staggering 60,000. The surge is raging across southern and Western heartlands, also including Texas, Georgia and Arizona which tried to get back to normal before the curve of infections was suppressed. The resulting torrent of new cases is exposing Trump's call for early openings, embraced by many Republican governors in defiance of CDC guidelines, as one of the worst political and economic decisions in modern history.

But the White House is not learning from its past mistakes as it steps up an aggressive push to get schools fully operational within weeks, after Education Secretary Betsy DeVos failed repeatedly to outline a plan to do so safely in a CNN interview Sunday."

 

Wash your hands don't wash anything else, maintain 6ft of social distancing we knew the whole time was inadequate indoors, wear any kind of face mask even though we had a whole heap of data early on from contact tracing that showed transmission was occuring in apartment buildings from contact surfaces, never mention viral load, sunlight or eye protection

Yeah right, this is your expert?

 

Funny I would have chosen High Anxiety

 

He wants a full-blown, in-person, reopening of all schools.

Trump needs to show his plan for reopening schools safely instead of using his extortion tactic of threatening to take away federal money.




White House turns on Fauci as disaster grows out of aggressive state openings - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Many school districts have been working on plans for months. They are finding that most schools simply lack the space to have all students back at the same time and ensure adequate social distancing. Scott Brabrand, the superintendent of schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, told CNN's Dana Bash that he would need an additional five Pentagon's worth of space to accommodate all students under such conditions. This kind of issue, to which the administration has offered no answers, is why some physicians view the White House's calls for full classrooms within weeks as a fantasy."

Dr Fauci, is americas leading expert on Infectious Diseases, and when he talks to Trump about the Coronavirus it's like talking to a tree.

BTW that tree started this week off retweeting a series of bizarre claims from supporters, including one that Dr. Anthony Fauci supports ID cards 'to go shopping' - WTF

Trump tweet threatens tax-exempt status of schools, colleges

excerpt:

"Too many Universities and School Systems are about Radical Left Indoctrination, not Education," Trump tweeted.

"Therefore, I am telling the Treasury Department to re-examine their Tax-Exempt Status...... and/or Funding, which will be taken away if this Propaganda or Act Against Public Policy continues. Our children must be Educated, not Indoctrinated!"

The vast majority of U.S. public and private universities and colleges are tax-exempt entities because of their educational purposes or the fact that they are entities of state governments, according to the Association of American Universities."

 

Off topic, but. . . . . . . . .

Thank you, President Xi

 

Trump threatens schools’, colleges’ tax exemptions

Trump threatens schools', colleges' tax exemptions

excerpts:

"It’s unclear, however, on what grounds Trump could have a school’s tax-exempt status terminated. It was also not clear what Trump meant by “radical indoctrination” or who would decide what type of activity that includes. The White House and Treasury Department did not immediately comment on the president’s message.

Previous guidance from the Internal Revenue Service lays out six types of activities that can jeopardize a nonprofit organization’s tax-exempt status, including political activity, lobbying and straying from the organization’s stated purpose.

But ideology is not on the IRS’s list, said Terry Hartle, senior vice president of the American Council on Education, which represents university presidents. Any review of a school’s status would have to follow previously established guidelines, he said.

“It’s always deeply troubling to have the president single out schools, colleges or universities in a tweet,” Hartle said. “Having said that, I don’t think anything will come of this quickly.”"


"Some districts have already announced plans for only a partial reopening, with a mix of in-person and online instruction. New York City’s public school district, the nation’s largest, said students will be in classrooms two or three times a week and learn remotely between. DeVos has opposed that kind of approach, saying it fails students and taxpayers."

 

Maybe trump wants to go back to school, and actually take his SAT.

 

Apparently, Trump is trying to undo the negative effects of statements Bolton has made in his book.


China sanctions US politicians in retaliation for Uighur measures

except:

"The US sanctions came after a new book by John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, alleged that the president spoke approvingly of his Chinese counterpart's explanation of "why he was basically building concentration camps" to intern Uighurs during a G20 meeting in Osaka in 2019 that was attended only by interpreters.

Bolton wrote that the US interpreter said that Trump spoke approvingly of the camps."

 

Stone says he will campaign for Trump.

Roger Stone says he plans to campaign for Trump

 

Trees are much more aware than Trump ever was....

 

Nah.... Trump hates to FAIL.

(even though he's very adept at failing)

 

hahaha

 

Trump has a history of shifting blame to others. The coronavirus is a grand example.



Trump Misquotes Fauci on Coronavirus Threat

Trump Misquotes Fauci on Coronavirus Threat

excerpt:

"As we have written, House Speaker Pelosi did not say, “Let’s dance in the streets of Chinatown.” During her visit on Feb. 24 — three weeks before six Bay Area counties implemented shelter-in-place restrictions — she told people it was safe to eat and shop in Chinatown at a time when tourism was suffering because of the novel coronavirus, which originated in China late last year.

Trump did not “ban” travel from China. There were exceptions, including for Americans and their family members, and for cargo shipments between the countries.

Biden did not “apologize” for criticizing the China travel restrictions. His campaign on April 3 said Biden supported Trump’s decision to impose travel restrictions on China, and argued that Biden’s comments about “Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia” — made the same day as Trump announced the travel restrictions — were not a reference to those restrictions.

But here we’ll focus on Trump’s claim that in late February, “even professionals, like Anthony [Fauci], were saying this is no problem” and “this is going to blow over.” That’s not what Fauci was saying at that time.

This isn’t the first time Trump has misleadingly cited Fauci’s late February assessments of the virus."

 

Trump is becoming enveloped in truther explanations

He said that a length of failing border wall was done to hurt his reelection, even though it was built by a company that his administration selected which had little experience in building such structures.

Trump retweeted a remark made by game show host Chuck Woolery that officials of the CDC are supposedly lying to hurt his campaign. Trump is showing increasing frustration with not only Fauci but also Redfield.

Quote of Woolery:

"The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust," Woolery tweeted. "I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it."


Trump retweets game show host who said CDC is lying about coronavirus to hurt him politically

 

Trump should hire the game show host, Woolery, for his campaign.

The convicted Roger Stone has already said he will campaign for Trump.

 

Criminals campaigning for criminals....

What could go wrong?
