The Donald Trump Score Card

Journalists can ask Trump what he thinks he would do with the current situation in Ukraine if he was president right now.

Like he did about the Afghanistan withdrawal during an interview with Sean Hannity, Trump can be expected to once again make a lame reply that he is supposedly unable to comment right now because of presidential candidacy laws.

Trump implied that saying what he would do in Afghanistan as a president would somehow be tantamount to declaring himself a presidential candidate for the 2024 election which would invoke campaign laws, which isn't true.

It's a cheap excuse that hides the fact that he doesn't know what to do about complex situations such as those in Afghanistan and Ukraine, other than praise autocrats like Putin and the Taliban and whine that such problems are a result of the 2020 election that was supposedly stolen from him.

 

“Good Fighters” and “Great Negotiators”: Donald Trump Is Weirdly Full of Praise for the Taliban

“Good Fighters” and “Great Negotiators”: Donald Trump Is Weirdly Full of Praise for the Taliban

 

Trump gave away Afghanistan to the Taliban in early 2020 to fulfill a campaign promise with the hope of boosting his chance of winning the 2020 election.

He behaved in a similar selfish manner in 2019 with his coercion of the Ukraine leader to try to improve his chance reelection.

Another example is Trump's calling upon Russia to illegally expose Hillary's emails (that he thought Russia or Ukraine supposedly had) to help him win the 2016 election.

Trump's Deal To End War In Afghanistan Leaves Biden With 'A Terrible Situation'

On Wednesday September 4, 2019, Trump showed a doctored chart.

When asked if it had been doctored, Trump replied, "I don't know. I don't know."

Trump illegally took the chart to Mar-a-Lago after leaving office and it was recently recovered by the National Archives.

Compared to trump, everyone is smart.

 

I don't think he has said anything factual?

 

Now lots of people are going to be pissed off at the Republicans in power there ... fine by me!

 

“…….will likely disenfranchise the GOP as much as Democrats.”…….

*Good!!

Trump doubles down on Putin commentary as he’s blasted for ‘insane’ ‘adulation’

Comments are Trump’s latest to draw accusations of Russian favouritism

Trump is one of Putin's biggest assets in the United States. Look how the hawkish Republican Party is backing Trump's comments praising Putin.

 

An argument could be made that Trump is abetting Putin. That is treasonous.

 

I seem to remember that Congress got his tax returns? Does anyone know where they got with that inquiry? If he has avoided paying income personal income tax after making billions, there should be hell to pay. If his business avoided it, then he should have paid on the personal salary or profit, one would think?

 

7 of 9 lawyers who tried to reverse Michigan election complete required classes | Detroit Metro

excerpt:

"With hours to go before their midnight deadline, seven of the nine lawyers who unsuccessfully attempted to overturn Michigan's 2020 presidential election reported completing court-ordered continuing legal education courses.

The 12 hours of required classes were part of sanctions set by U.S. District Judge Linda Parker in an Aug. 25 ruling. Parker said the penalties were "required to deter the filing of future frivolous lawsuits designed primarily to spread the narrative that our election processes are rigged and our democratic institutions cannot be trusted."

Parker's order gave the nine attorneys six months to complete the courses: six hours on pleading standards and six hours on election law. The deadline was midnight Friday.

By 5 p.m. Friday, with seven hours remaining, only Michigan lawyer Stefanie Lynn Junttila and Texas lawyer Sidney Powell hadn't yet filed affidavits saying their classes had been completed, according to court records."

 

The judge should have forced them to submit to a mental health exam.

 

That was anticipated.

 

Trump's people don't appear to have filed any new stolen 2020 election-related court cases during the past year on his behalf. They are busy defending themselves from defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion and complying with court orders issued to them for filing frivolous suits.

The contentions of Trump's buddies have dwindled to ludicrous remarks, such as Giuliani recently saying he has damaging evidence about Hillary in his bedroom (documents about Hillary in his bedroom, not Hillary in his bedroom) and increasingly frantic statements by Lindell at various fringe pro-Trump gatherings who now says the Kraken will be released and Trump will be reinstated according to God's timing.

The law-breaking by county recorder Tina Peters continues, such as illegally recording criminal court proceedings for her deputy who was arrested for tampering with the 2020 election. Peters tried to kick the officer arresting her. Peters has a major problem with tampering with other people's property.

Peters hasn't yet been arrested for her suspected involvement in tampering of the 2020 election in Colorado on Trump's behalf, which is still under investigation by multiple law enforcement agencies..

 

Trump, his lawyers, Mike Lindell, all the idiots still supporting him in Congress, the Capitol rioters, the fake electors that were foiled, and everyone else still onboard with the rigged election bullshit should all be arrested and charged with treason.

 

He should be so lucky.

 

Kyiv hit with 'cruise or ballistic missiles' as Russia attempts to encircle Ukrainian capital - CNN

excerpt:

"Meanwhile, Putin called on Ukraine's armed forces to overthrow their government in remarks to his security council Friday.

"Do not let Banderites (Ukrainian nationalists) and neo-Nazis use your children, wives and old people as human shields," Putin said in remarks aired on Russian state television. "Take power into your own hands, it looks like it will be easier for us to come to an agreement than with this gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis that has settled in Kyiv and taken hostage the entire Ukrainian people."

Putin frequently repeats the baseless and inaccurate claim that the democratically elected Ukrainian government is a "Nazi" or "fascist" regime. The language has been roundly condemned internationally, especially considering that Zelensky is Jewish. "
