The Donald Trump Score Card

A new Quinnipiac poll found 79 percent of Floridians support a mask requirement, including 60 percent of Republicans.
And yet Gov. DeSantis refuses to order a statewide mandate on the use of masks

WTF is he into political suicide?

 

DeSantis might want to heed the advice of McConnell who has called for selective social distancing from Trump.

When you don't pay attention to character limits...

 

Trump to ban TikTok.

Trump was humiliated via users of TikTok who registered for his Tulsa rally with no intent to attend.


Trump says he will ban TikTok through executive action as soon as Saturday

 

He would have got infected about a week and a half after the Tulsa rally

 

Someone needs to talk to CNBC about their fact checkers


"The app has grown more popular during the coronavirus pandemic, with 2 billion downloads in April, according to Sensor Tower. "

2 billion in a single month, I don't think so


As for his supposed comments:

"Trump made the comments while chatting with reporters on Air Force One during the flight back to Washington from Florida."

 

"According to new reporting by Vanity Fair,"


Sounds legit

 

That's an annualized figure, it's more like -8.9% for that quarter

Still, Japan's GDP slipped by half that percentage, everyone wore masks, they didn't shut down and not many people died

How do you feel about all those "experts" now?

Both of you, most here, supported the lockdowns


Told you so

 

Fixed

 

Wow! This is an excellent demonstration of Trump stupidity.

 

Good question

 

No, he sought medical help 9 days after Tulsa. That is typical of infected persons. They get the first signs four or five days after being exposed then decide to treat themselves at home. Then the symptoms get worse. Then they check into a hospital. You Trump followers repeat baseless white supremacist gossip which makes the rounds on websites like 4CHAN.

 

When Barak Obama was campaigning for the office of President, he told the American people that the Republicans would certainly leave them on their own when to came to government services. We have always know the Republicans -like Trump and Pence- had wished to deny poor and low income Americans government help. A large number of Americans need government help like heat assistance, food stamps, subsidized housing, and health care. Americans who are members of minority groups need a fair shot at getting a job, meaning they need anti-discrimination laws. The Republicans are against all that. President Obama told us the certainty of being kicked out to the curb. When the Republicans made laws which allowed insurance companies to deny sick people coverage, Americans got kicked out to the curb. Now during the Time of Trump, hungry Americans are being kicked out to the curb. And during the Time of Trump, Americans are being evicted from their apartments and homes, right out to the Republican curb. With Republican policies, we can be certain our government will not function properly. The Republicans do not want The American People to have government services. One thing we can be certain of is the ultra rich friends of Trump and the cronies who have committed crimes would be treated nicely.

 

Barr Makes It Official—He’s Trump’s New “Fixer”
If and when the attorney general leaves, the Department of Justice faces a reckoning.

Opinion | Barr Makes It Official—He’s Trump’s New “Fixer”

excerpt:

"For decades, Trump found his family lawyers on the mean streets of New York and New Jersey, tapping the corrupt Roy Cohn and his successors, like Michael Cohen and Marc Kasowitz, to protect his interests. They quickly earned the title of “fixer” for a man whose personal and professional legal needs ultimately swelled to more than 4,000 lawsuits — bankruptcies, divorces, libel, unpaid debts, condo fees, wage disputes, and fraud, to name a few.

Above all, there was Cohn, who gave Trump his first taste of how an unscrupulous and savage lawyer could advance his cause. The two met in 1973 when Trump was looking for someone to help defend him and the family business from one of the nation’s highest profile charges of housing discrimination at the time. That case established a symbiotic MO between Trump and his lawyers—abuse of the law, and then covering it up—that continues to this day. Trump’s latter-day lawyers, Cohen and Kasowitz, both had their ethics problems: Cohen landed in prison for his role in covering up hush money payments in violation of campaign finance laws and for lying to Congress. Kasowitz faced allegations of violating legal ethics when he briefly represented Trump in D.C. but was best known for aggressive (some might say excessive) lawsuits against Trump’s adversaries.

Now Trump has Barr, who has become the president’s most prominent and prized fixer yet.

Barr’s testimony demonstrated a singular blend of real pugnacity and feigned world-weariness as he defended his 18 months in office. Barr has tried to muzzle Trump’s critics, protect his friends, hide information from Congress and investigate those who investigated the president. He has also—much like Cohn and Cohen—worked as a PR agent, spinning negative information in Trump’s favor, and even using federal agents to violently clear a path through protesters before a presidential photo op."

 

Trump has cancelled rallies in Michigan, and Alabama. He blames Covid 19. While that's a good excuse, the reason trump cancelled the Michigan rally is because polling showed Biden increasing his lead there. In other words, trumpy is throwing in the towel.

 

Trump brought up Barr's name in his phone call with the Ukraine president. Trump told the Ukraine president that he would be receiving a call from Barr regarding Biden and his son who Trump was trying to smear based on discredited conspiracy narratives. It's another example of Trump using Barr as his personal fixer.
