The Donald Trump Score Card

In 2023, the DOJ had to pierce attorney-client privilege citing potential fraud to obtain information from Corcoran to try to determine if Trump used campaign money to further a crime.


Article from February 2023.


Trump Spent $10 Million From His PAC on His Legal Bills Last Year

excerpt:

"Another $1.3 million went to Silverman Thompson Slutkin and White, the firm of Evan Corcoran, a lawyer who began working with Mr. Trump last spring. Mr. Corcoran was brought into Mr. Trump’s orbit by Boris Epshteyn, a strategist who has played a coordinating role with some of the lawyers in cases involving Mr. Trump, as the investigation related to the Mar-a-Lago documents was heating up. (Mr. Epshteyn’s company was paid $195,000, but for broader strategic consulting, not legal consulting specifically.)

The Justice Department recently filed a motion to compel Mr. Corcoran, who has appeared before a federal grand jury investigating Mr. Trump’s handling of classified documents, to give additional testimony, citing the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege. The request means that prosecutors have reason to believe that legal advice or legal services may have been used by Mr. Trump or one of his allies in furthering a crime."

 

Vance says the president can run the U.S. military as he sees fit, even if the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the president on an issue, which Vance says would be an illegitimate ruling.


JD Vance says he's wouldn't have certified 2020 race until states submitted pro-Trump electors

excerpt:

“The Constitution says that the Supreme Court can make rulings but if the Supreme Court—and look, I hoped that they would not do this—but if the Supreme Court said the president of the United States can’t fire a general, that would be an illegitimate ruling,” Vance said. “The president has to have Article II prerogative under the Constitution to actually run the military as he sees fit. This is just basic constitutional legitimacy.”

 

Biden as an incumbent without significant competitors within his party has a funding advantage over Trump during the primary season.


Trump legal bills, Ramaswamy's self-funding and 4 more takeaways from new campaign filings

excerpt:

"The Biden campaign and the DNC have an advantage of being able to raise money together, which his Republican rivals can't do at this moment, allowing Biden Victory -- a big-dollar joint fundraising operation -- to accept nearly $1 million per person and raise $70 million in just the final three months of last year."

 

Another financial advantage for Biden is that he doesn't have the expense of six civil cases against him and 91 felony charges.

The GOP has become so desperate at trying to find dirt on Biden without success that it is now holding hearings to impeach the Homeland Security director to try to chime in on Trump complaining about the Mexican border.

 

Geeze, we have to impeach somebody, just to keep that ball rolling. The Red running for congress here is screaming "we need to impeach Joe Biden" on his first few seconds of his screaming ads...

 

Republicans, including the orange jaysus, are grotesque imitations of real poiticians carrying out the wishes of a psychpathic , mentally ill liar. And the dummies keep sending him money!!!

 

Let’s talk about McDaniel vs Trump

Trump threatens federal takeover of DC after Mike Gill’s murder – NBC4 Washington

excerpt:

"When talking about big-city crime, Trump has suggested using the National Guard. When it comes to D.C., he wants to go even further and take control of the D.C. government away from the mayor and the D.C. Council and give it to the federal government.

In a post to Truth Social after the shooting death of Gill, Trump renewed his threat, writing: “The federal government must take over D.C.”

Mayor Muriel Bowser reacted on Monday to the ex-president’s remarks.

“I think it’s kinda disgusting to use this person’s death in that way, and we won’t engage in it,” she said."

 

CNN Poll: Most Americans want verdict on Trump election subversion charges before 2024 vote | CNN Politics

excerpt:

"About half of Americans, 48%, say it’s essential that a verdict is reached before the 2024 presidential election, and another 16% that they’d prefer to see one. Just 11% say that a trial on the charges should be postponed until following the election, with another quarter saying the trial’s timing doesn’t matter to them. A 72% majority of Democrats and 52% of independents say it’s essential that a verdict is reached pre-election. Republicans are more split. While 38% say that a verdict should be reached before the presidential election, including 20% who call that essential, another 39% say it doesn’t matter when the trial is held, and 23% that they think the trial should be held after this election. "

excerpt:

"The vast majority of the public continues to support the basic principle that American political candidates should accept the results of US elections. Eighty-six percent say that the loser of a presidential election has an obligation to concede once the results are certified, unchanged from when Trump and President Joe Biden were facing off in October 2020."

 

Trump first, Putin second, America third.


Opinion | The G.O.P. Bumper Sticker: Trump First. Putin Second. America Third.

excerpt:

"Barring some last-minute surprise that saves the compromise bill, a terrible thing is about to happen — thanks largely to a Republican Party that has lost its way as it falls in lock step behind a man whose philosophy is not “America First” but “Donald Trump First.” “Trump First” means that a bill that would strengthen America and its allies must be set aside so that America can continue to boil in polarization, Vladimir Putin can triumph in Ukraine and our southern border can remain an open sore — until and unless Trump becomes president once more. Our allies be damned. Our enemies be emboldened. Our children’s future security be mortgaged.

Today’s G.O.P. bumper sticker: Trump First. Putin Second. America Third."

Trump's NY civil fraud case.


Trump could soon face over $400 million in legal penalties. Can he afford it?

excerpt:

"What happens if Trump appeals?

Trump has already said he would appeal if Engoron rules against him, but if he does, he would most likely still be on the hook for the full amount.

David Slarskey, a business litigation lawyer, said that New York state court, like federal court, requires security or a bond and that given the likely size of the award, Trump will probably move to get a bond.

If James gets the full $370 million she's seeking, it could cost Trump up to an $18 million nonrefundable fee to the surety company. And with the 9% interest rate, the amount of money that would have to be put up would be in the $400 million range."

excerpt:

"If Trump does secure a return to the White House in November, he’s said that he’ll wield his executive power to implement sweeping changes in a second term. And Americans broadly expect him to try to carry out many of the facets of the agenda he’s publicly outlined. Most say they believe that, if reelected, Trump would try to detain and deport millions of undocumented immigrants (89%), fire federal workers who oppose implementing his policies (82%), pardon himself for any federal crimes he’s convicted of (78%), repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (77%), pardon most people convicted over their role in the January 6 attack (77%) and direct the Department of Justice to investigate political rivals (74%)."

 

Humiliating to the GOP is that its House investigation of Biden revealed about $8 million that Trump received from foreign governments while president.

$5.5 million of it was from China who Trump criticizes.

Trump currently is threatening China with 60% import tariffs if he's reelected and saying that there is a 100% chance of a terror attack in the U.S. that may implemented by China..


Trump received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments as president, House Democrats say

 

Trump's planned 60% import tariff on China would be highly inflationary.

When he was president, Trump said he wanted negative interest rates (paying people to borrow money). Trump's remark was, 'Give me some of that money."

His negative interest rate would be highly inflationary.

He's talking today like the situation is the same as when the world economy was beset with the problems of the Covid pandemic that he exacerbated.

His followers are still raving about the low price of gasoline when the economy was crippled by the pandemic during his term which caused low prices temporarily.

 

Domestic terror attacks during the Trump administration fueled by Trump.

Trump was 'shocked' by Capitol attack — but his presidency has been marked by acts of domestic terror

excerpt:

"Yet throughout Trump’s time in office, acts of political and racially motivated violence have been carried out by his supporters and can be tied directly to his rhetoric. And domestic terrorism has been a tragic hallmark of his presidency.

There have also been random attacks at schools and in public places, and at least one shooting by a left-wing activist that injured Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. There have been no significant instances of state-sponsored or foreign terrorist attacks on U.S. soil during this time.

“We didn’t get to Jan. 6 overnight,” Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., said on CNN Thursday. “This just didn’t happen in one day. This happened over years. The president has been building this. He has been radicalizing his most fringe supporters.”"

 

54 cases that invoked Trump in connection to violent attacks on people in the U.S.

The article was published in May 2020 before Trump's inssurection at the Capitol which should be added to the list.

'No Blame?' ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.

excerpt:

When police questioned a Washington state man about his threats to kill a local Syrian-born man, the suspect told police he wanted the victim to "get out of my country," adding, "That’s why I like Trump."

 

The mass shooter who killed 23 and injured 23 in El Paso had written a manifesto that sounded like a Trump speech.


Trump was 'shocked' by Capitol attack — but his presidency has been marked by acts of domestic terror

excerpt:

"The shooting in El Paso came just 13 hours after a deadly mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, where a gunman killed nine people and injured 17 others outside a bar. The shooter, 24-year-old Connor Betts, was killed by police. Betts had reportedly retweeted messages supporting antifa, the left-wing protest movement, but authorities could not find any racial or political motive for the attack."

 

Trump to tell Supreme Court that he is untouchable.
