The Donald Trump Score Card

Will Trump hush money case get tossed? Juan Merchan to decide – NBC New York

excerpt:

"The Manhattan district attorney's office says the judge in President-elect Donald Trump's hush money case can hold off on sentencing pending the resolution of other legal challenges, though they oppose any effort to toss the conviction, according to court papers filed Tuesday.

New York Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump's historic trial, had been scheduled to decide last week whether to toss out the jury verdict and order a new trial — or even dismiss the charges altogether. The judge's ruling was also expected to speak to whether the former and now future commander-in-chief would be sentenced as scheduled Nov. 26. Both the prosecution and defense had asked him for more time. Merchan gave them a week."

 

People are asking what happened to JD Vance.

It's like Elon Musk is the vice president-elect.

JD Vance vice presidency attacked in home newspaper: "List of horrors"

excerpt:

"Even setting aside the ludicrous stuff about people eating other peoples' pets, he did only harm. For example, he raised legal issues about the presence of the Haitians where no such issues really existed. He was an ogre, apparently for purposes of political advantage," Gottlieb wrote.

Gottlieb contrasted the Vance seen on the campaign trail this year to the Vance who wrote his bestselling memoir Hillbilly Elegy, published in 2016, in which he thoughtfully addressed the struggles facing Appalachian communities.

"Those were the days when he was using the word 'Hitler' in categorizing Donald Trump," Gottlieb wrote.

 

Or Musk is the president-elect and Trump is vice president-elect.

 

Turns out America elected Elon Musk, too

excerpt:

"Money and politics have always been connected. But we've never seen anything like this.

American voters re-elected Donald Trump this month. At the moment, it also looks like they've elected Elon Musk.

That's because the world's richest man, having endorsed Trump, campaigned for him, and pumped a reported $200 million into Trump's campaign, now seems to be acting like a shadow president."

 

Turns out America elected Elon Musk, too

excerpt:

"He likes this place. I can't get him out of here. He just likes the place," Trump joked in a speech Thursday night. "And you know what, I like having him here too. He's good. He's done a fantastic job."

excerpt:

"In a letter to Judge Juan Merchan, the district attorney’s office also acknowledged that Trump is not likely to be sentenced “until after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term.” But the DA says Trump’s felony conviction should stand.

A source in close to the district attorney’s office said it is open to a four year pause of the case."

 

Trump may not be sentenced until after January 2029.

In the meantime, Trump while serving as president could appeal the conviction and try to have it dismissed.

 

If Trump turns out to be sentenced after leaving office in January 2029, it will have been nearly five years after he was convicted.

Trump taps Dr Oz to work with RFK Jr in health role and discourages Republicans from confirming Biden judge picks – live | Donald Trump | The Guardian

excerpt:

"President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he has nominated Dr Mehmet Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator."

 

Gasoline prices have risen slightly the past few days to above $3 per gallon.

When they dropped to below $3 just after the election, Trump supporters attributed it to Trump's reelection and said that it meant that they could sleep again.

Now that the price has gone up slightly0, they will attribute it to Biden.

excerpt:

Trump added: “He is an eminent Physician, Heart Surgeon, Inventor, and World-Class Communicator, who has been at the forefront of healthy living for decades. Dr. Oz will work closely with Robert F Kennedy Jr. to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”

 

Trump is nominating two unqualified people to handle an annual $2.4 trillion of spending.

Oz being a physician doesn't make him qualified to handle a yearly $1.6 trillion Medicare and Medicaid spending by the government.

Hegseth being a former platoon leader in the army doesn't make him qualified to run the entire Pentagon whose annual budget is about $800 billion.

IMO, he will not pay any debts, he will not be incarcerated, but he WILL set out to completely change the world order. Bad will become worse and worse will become worst. He may surprise us---but I doubt it.
