The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump tried to link border security with election security during his border wall speech.

When he started whining about his 2020 election loss early in his speech, even Fox grew tired of it and lowered the volume of him so that its talking heads could comment on him.

 

During his speech in Wellington, OH, Trump praised Jim Jordan for his athletic background. He even tried to use it as an excuse for why Jordan doesn't wear a suit.

 

The Wellington rally was another freak show. Jim Jordan attended along with Marjorie Taylor Green, Max Miller, and Mike Lindell. Trump's life has descended into a morass of truther narratives.

 

Max Miller has been paying reduced tax on DC property which he apparently declared as being his principle residence. He blamed it on a clerical error by his accountant.

It gives the impression that Miller used a principle residence status in DC so that he could receive a deduction on his property taxes and that he changed his status when people discovered it.

Miller and Trump have criticized Rep. Gonzalez of being originally from California, not Northeast Ohio. Gonzalez grew up in the Cleveland, OH area.

Trump is supporting Miller to try to unseat Gonzalez (who won his seat by 26% in 2020) because he voted in the House to impeach Trump after the riot at the Capitol.


Ohio congressional candidate Max Miller’s tax records show he claims his principal residence is in Washington, D.C.

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON, D.C. - GOP congressional candidate Max Miller may be seeking a congressional seat in Northeast Ohio, but property tax records in the District of Columbia show Miller claims an apartment he owns in Northwest Washington, D.C. is his principal residence.

The Washington, D.C., property tax records show that Miller gets a “homestead deduction” on a two-bedroom apartment he owns on Rhode Island Avenue. The Washington, D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue says any property that gets the homestead benefit “must be the principal residence (domicile) of the owner/applicant.”"

 

Leona Helmsly too.

 

I think we should send him over to the northwestern part of Pakistan.

 

Trump rolls out his defense for all seasons: It's all politics | CNN Politics

excerpt:

"Two big questions were left unanswered by Thursday’s indictment.

The first is whether the robust indictment against Weisselberg may be designed to get him to cooperate with prosecutors in return for lesser charges – and potentially to testify against Trump family members. Weisselberg has so far refused to do so.

The second question is whether the unsealed indictment represents the full extent of the two-year investigations against Trump and his company or whether there is more to come for the ex-President.

Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen, who himself went to jail after pleading guilty to campaign finance and tax charges, said he could have scripted the “witch hunt” defense in advance.

“There is nothing that happened at the Trump Organization that did not go to Donald,” Cohen told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota.

“Whether it was the purchasing of paperclips or the payment of Allen Weisselberg’s grandchildren’s tuition. Every single thing went on Donald’s desk for signature.”"

 

Trump is busy picking out which color of bus he will throw Weisselberg under.

 

It's become clear that one thing Trump is really good at is covering his ass. You oppose him, he'll ruin you and your family. Whether you're a Republican politician or a member of his organization facing charges, you must kiss his ring and his ass. And you must be prepared to take a fall for him, as there are worse things than prison. Disloyalty is punished, plus there's the fear of his more fanatical supporters coming after you.

Yes his support base is shrinking, but there are still those who will back him no matter what. And they're growing increasingly frustrated, convinced the election was stolen and we're becoming a socialist country. Who knows what they might resort to.

 

Oh, boy, will McBroom get thrown in the chipper.

 

Wesley Snipes, too!!

 

I’m ready for all them stupid motherfuckers

 

Hopefully he doesn’t go to Maralago and get a frontal lobotomy like Pence, McConnell, McCarthy, etc.

 

A former police officer arrested after the Jan. 6 riot was told to stay away from guns. He bought 34, feds say.

excerpt:

"In January, a federal judge agreed to release Thomas Robertson, a former Rocky Mount, Va., police officer facing multiple charges over his alleged participation in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

But Judge G. Michael Harvey’s release conditions were clear: Robertson could not own any firearms, destructive devices or dangerous weapons while his case was pending. If he owned any guns, he must relocate them within two days.

Days after his release, authorities found eight firearms at his Ferrum, Va. home, according to court documents. The judge gave Robertson a second chance, reminding him of his release conditions.

Then, last month, authorities found a loaded M4 carbine and a partially assembled pipe bomb while conducting an authorized search at his home, court records state. Robertson is also accused of buying 34 firearms online and “transporting them in interstate commerce while under felony indictment,” prosecutors said.

Now they are asking the judge to revoke Robertson’s release order and issue an arrest warrant for violating his pretrial release terms a second time."

 

Trump and his following will try to spin that one into a narrative that the former police officer is being persecuted.

 

Yoga instructor arrested for involvement in Trump's riot


Yoga instructor arrested for his involvement in the Capitol riot

excerpt:

"The charges against Bacon, 28, of Somerville, MA resemble those of the more than 500 people arrested for the riot: violent entry, disorderly conduct, obstruction of Congress and more. But Bacon isn't your everyday rioter: He would appear to be a yogi.

The arrest rioter appears to be the Noah S. Bacon who presents himself at "High Heart Meditation," where he exalts his would-be followers to "Breath In, Breath Out" and "Be in the Moment."

Unfortunately for Bacon, he was captured being in the moment of the Capitol riot in a video posted by the New Yorker magazine. That prompted a witness who knew Bacon to tip off the FBI, leading to his arrest."

 

Eric Trump tries to deflect attention to Hunter Biden.


Eric Trump has on-air meltdown after father’s company charged with tax crimes

excerpt:

"In his interview, Mr Trump went on to attack Mr Biden. “You know, the difference is I'm not Hunter Biden,” he said and listed out a series of allegations against the president’s son.

He said: “I’m not selling paintings to undisclosed people for half a million dollars apiece. I'm not doing drugs in shady hotels.”

The president’s son had opened up about his battle with substance abuse in his memoir Beautiful Things.

Continuing his tirade against the president’s son, Mr Trump said: “I'm not going out soliciting prostitution and I'm not going out selling influence to the Ukraine and China and having lavish trips paid for while my father's commander in chief.”"

 

Company once cloaked Trump in gilded fame. Now it faces felonies, debt and toxic brand.

excerpt:

"Donald Trump’s business brought him international fame, a hit television show, a presidential résumé and, on Thursday, an indictment in New York State Court that could damage both his financial and political futures.

The full impact on Trump’s business of the 10 felony counts brought against it by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. (D) — as well as 15 felony counts against his chief financial officer — remains to be seen. The company and CFO Allen Weisselberg pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Trump was not charged in the case.

The indictment comes after nearly six years of his company enduring one blow after another wrought by Trump’s political career. That trajectory began with the loss of merchandising deals during the early days of his first campaign, continued with the loss of branding and management agreements during his presidency, and culminated with a wave of partners vowing to no longer do business with him following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump will remain a wealthy man regardless of whether his company is convicted of any of the charges. But the indictment adds to a growing pile of uncertainties about his company that experts say makes its future less clear than at any time since Trump’s much publicized collapse in Atlantic City and New York in the 1990s.

If convicted, the company could face hefty fines or other court-imposed penalties, according to legal experts. A felony conviction can complicate companies’ efforts to secure bank loans or even municipal licenses to sell alcohol or get construction permits."

excerpt:

"After the charges were announced, Trump issued a statement calling the indictment a “political witch hunt by the Radical Left Democrats.” The former president has asked people around him about the prospect of a casino at his Doral resort in South Florida and has touted the revenue of his golf courses, according to two people who have talked to him but were not authorized to share private conversations. He has “compartmentalized” his business and political endeavors in the words of an adviser, going to his Trump Tower office in New York two days a week, usually arriving on Sunday evening and leaving late Tuesday.

Still, several advisers said he was more interested in his political future than business. The company has made few moves publicly since Trump left the White House in January, although it has sued New York City over a canceled contract and some office tenants over allegedly unpaid rent. The company is also again trying to sell the federal lease to its D.C. hotel but even that it declined to announce."
