The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

excerpt:

"When lashing out at critics, Trump often reaches for illogical and corrosive insults, and members of the Bush family have publicly opposed him. But his cynicism about service and heroism extends even to the World War I dead buried outside Paris—people who were killed more than a quarter century before he was born. Trump finds the notion of military service difficult to understand, and the idea of volunteering to serve especially incomprehensible. (The president did not serve in the military; he received a medical deferment from the draft during the Vietnam War because of the alleged presence of bone spurs in his feet. In the 1990s, Trump said his efforts to avoid contracting sexually transmitted diseases constituted his “personal Vietnam.”)"

 

Except to that voter base... A lot of those GOP guys wouldn't win without Trump's backing, even now.

 

Hell with the base. They’ll either conform and stick with the Republican Party or jump ship.

 

That’s what Trump wants them to think- and it’s simply more mind games and manipulation.

 

@Tyrsonswood @soulcompromise
It’s too soon because Trump has literally just left office, but trust me, and I know I’ve said this before, he’s going to slowly but surely fade away and be looked at as a joke.

 

I'm not sure you get the dynamics at play... If those "base voters" drop out and don't vote, the GOP candidates can't win. As it is, they have to cheat any way they can (gerrymandering, voter suppression, intimidation, voter ID laws, fear campaigns, etc.) and they run neck and neck with the Democrats. Lose that "Trump base" and they will lose elections across the board. (which, by the way would be fine with me)

 

Trump doesn't appear to have made public remarks about Ashli Babbitt who was killed at the Trump riot.

As much as he has claimed to like police officers, he didn't pay respect to the body of Officer Sicknick at the Capitol who died of injuries shortly after the riot.

In contrast to war casualties whom he has snubbed, Babbitt and Sicknick died in a way that was intimately related to a cause that he was promoting for himself. Even in that type of self-centered situation, he has shown a lack of willingness to accept responsibility. He likes to take credit for what he perceives as the glamorous elements of a situation he caused while blaming the morbid ones on someone else.


Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

excerpt:

“He can’t fathom the idea of doing something for someone other than himself,” one of Kelly’s friends, a retired four-star general, told me. “He just thinks that anyone who does anything when there’s no direct personal gain to be had is a sucker. There’s no money in serving the nation.” Kelly’s friend went on to say, “Trump can’t imagine anyone else’s pain. That’s why he would say this to the father of a fallen marine on Memorial Day in the cemetery where he’s buried.”

 

They (Trump base) simply won’t back out of the opportunity to vote against Democrats. I don’t see this happening. Hopefully this thread will still be running so I can come back and tell you I told you so, bro.

 

Vintage Trump.


Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

excerpt:

"In another incident, Trump falsely claimed that he had called “virtually all” of the families of service members who had died during his term, then began rush-shipping condolence letters when families said the president was not telling the truth."

 

Wow.......

 

It's understandable why Trump and Giuliani are bosom buddies.



Rudy's Racist Rants: An NYPD History Lesson

excerpt:

"Giuliani never condemned the overt racism of the 1992 NYPD riot. Instead, he ordered the vulnerability study destroyed, but a copy was leaked to journalist Wayne Barrett in 2000.

Giuliani won the 1993 election against Dinkins and won reelection in 1997. During his two terms, the NYPD ran roughshod over the civil liberties of all New Yorkers, particularly in neighborhoods where most young men of color grew up under the thumb of constant police harassment. At the heart of Giuliani’s law enforcement policy, in case after case, was a lack of accountability for police misconduct."

 

When Romney was governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007 he issued some 800 vetoes, and the Legislature with an 85% democratic majority overrode nearly every one of them, sometimes unanimously.

It's really became a joke.

Although he did pass universal healthcare, the one thing he did right.

 

Does it occur to any of his supporters that everything about Trump concerns what he's against?

Yes, he opposes Murkowski and any other lawmaker (of either party) that speaks against him. He's also against immigrants, LGBT rights, Jews, abortion, climate change, gun control, Obamacare, NAFTA, etc. In 2020, his campaign platform expressed almost nothing about what he was for ......only what he opposed. He never told us about what he intended to build during his second term......only what he wanted to destroy. His entire term as president featured only negativity and hate, which makes me question the agendas and values of all the people that practically worship him.

He claimed to support infrastructure projects.....yet he never did anything about them.

Is Trump's platform of hate the only thing that makes his supporters want him?

 

Prior to Giuliani, we had 2,700 murders in one year in NYC. That consideration was uppermost for voters at the time.

 

"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering

 

When Donald Duck was first brought up on impeachment charges, physicians across the country noted a sharp increase in the number of premature deaths, alcoholism, accidents, and suicides among conservatives. Now half of all of them support Donald Duck, and are insisting the Tea Party is too liberal. They want blood, and merely by destroying their own republican party they destroy American politics, because you can't have a democracy with only one political party.

 

Lady Graham and Micky Mouse Pence have gone back to lick Trump's boots.

 

The transformation of Josh Hawley.

Once considered an intellectual by some in the GOP, Hawley has descended to the point of raising his fist in solidarity with the Trump protesters on the morning of the Capitol riot as he walked past them to start the day.


Josh Hawley Is 'Not Going Anywhere.' How Did He Get Here?

excerpt:

"Hawley’s Stanford adviser, the historian David Kennedy, struggled to reconcile his memories with the now-infamous image of the senator, fist raised in solidarity with pro-Trump demonstrators shortly before they descended on the Capitol. “The Josh I knew was not an angry young person,” he recalled. “But when I see him now on television, he just always seems angry — really angry.”

Kennedy acknowledged that Hawley was just one of many Republicans in the Trump era who had steeped their brand in “anger and resentment and grievance.” But for many of those once close to Hawley, that was the point: How did a man who seemed so special turn out to be just like everyone else?

And what, they wondered, did Josh Hawley have to be so angry about?

When Hawley arrived in Washington in January 2019 as Missouri’s junior senator, he positioned himself as the intellectual heir of Trumpism — the politician who could integrate the president’s populist instincts into a comprehensive ideology for the GOP. In his maiden speech, he summoned the lamentation of cultural erosion he’d been refining since high school, arguing that the “great American middle” had been overlooked by a “new, arrogant aristocracy.”"

 

Two months and nearly 300 Capitol riot arrests later, the FBI is hunting hundreds more

excerpt:

"Arrests have been made in 41 states and the District of Columbia. The crowd convened at the Capitol that day from every corner of the country: Beverly Hills and the heartland, big cities and tiny communities. They’re business owners and first responders, nurses and teachers, parents and grandparents. At least 30 are veterans. Most of them are voters.

They range in age from 18 to 70, but average around 40. They’re mostly men and almost all white. Many have bankruptcies or other financial troubles in their lives.

More than a dozen have been linked to debunked QAnon conspiracy theories. Nearly three dozen have been linked to organized national extremist groups such as Oath Keepers and Proud Boys."

 

The anti-mask sentiment of Trump's protesters and their urge to boast about their criminal actions has been a benefit for law enforcement.


Two months and nearly 300 Capitol riot arrests later, the FBI is hunting hundreds more

excerpt:

"The groups search for unique characteristics in the plentiful photos and videos from the scene. Rogers said it makes their search easier that many of the rioters don’t wear masks.

In Powell’s case, they focused on her pink hat, black boots and Kate Spade hollyhock floral iPhone case and searched for those same details in other video snippets to find a photo of her face, Rogers said. They also searched videos of previous rallies and events, because people often wear the same coats and other items.

Their group focuses only on significant characters who can only be seen partially in photos and videos."
