The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump to be sentenced in hush money case on 10 January

excerpt:

"Trump is currently set to be the first convicted felon to serve in the White House.

He may attempt to appeal against the conviction after the sentencing.

While falsifying business records is punishable by up to four years in prison in the US, there is no minimum sentence and incarceration is not required."

 

Journalists at press gatherings could try addressing Trump as 'Convicted Felon Trump' instead of 'President Trump'.

 

Trump to be sentenced in hush money case on 10 January

excerpt:

Trump's spokesperson Steven Cheung earlier called the order part of a "witch hunt".

"President Trump must be allowed to continue the presidential transition process and to execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this or any remnants of the witch hunts," Cheung said.

 

During his first term as president, Trump spent an exorbitant amount of time playing golf, much more than Obama after complaining about Obama's golf time.

Trump can deal with an unconditional discharge sentence that doesn't assign any punishment to him.

Giuliani is using the same excuses in court, saying that he can't attend a contempt hearing because he is suffering from lung damage caused by being in NY during 9/11 but has previously asked the court to allow him to fly to DC to partake in Trump's inauguration.

Trump has been having extravagant parties at Mar-a-Lago with ultra-billionaires during the transition. He can afford to make one court appearance to be sentenced for his crimes.

 

Trump should bring some of his forgotten people into Mar-a-Lago to mingle with the ultra-billionaires.

The QAnon Shaman can stand side-by-side with $400 billion Elon Musk and ask him for a high-tech job at one of his companies.

 

How to pay for the upcoming, additional Musk and Trump corporate tax cuts and the exorbitant spending that will be needed to conduct mass deportations.

Trump ran up about $8.5 trillion in national debt after his first corporate tax cut.

excerpt:

"Deficit concerns are running hot in the House, where many Republicans say a tax bill ought to be completely paid for. That’s anathema to party heavyweights like House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Senate Finance Chair Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), not least because it would be extremely difficult to find enough offsets to cover the projected $4 trillion cost."

 

Musk seems to think that $4 trillion can be paid by cutting funding to Planned Parenthood and PBS.

 

Fox opinion piece by Jarrett who's furious that Judge Merchan plans to finally sentence Trump on Jan. 10.

Merchan isn't branding Trump a convicted felon on Jan. 10. Trump's been a convicted felon since May 2024.

Judge Merchan is sentencing him after delaying it three times. Trump already eluded being sentenced before the July 2024 RNC convention, in September before the 2024 election, and in November after the election.


GREGG JARRETT: NY judge desperate to brand Trump 'convicted felon' before inauguration

 

The plaque to honor the police officers who defended the Capitol from Trump's rioters should have been installed at the Capitol but hasn't.


Reminders of Jan. 6 attack fade in the Capitol as Trump retakes power

excerpt:

“Looking back, it’s like it was all for nothing,” said Gonell. “It’s a betrayal.”

He said he wishes the plaque was up on the west front so Trump could see it before he steps on to the inauguration stage in a few weeks.

Trump "could read the names of the officers right before he walks out,” Gonell said. “So he could know that his actions had consequences.”

 

Trump and the GOP would like to install a plaque at the Capitol honoring Trump's rioters (who Trump thinks defended themselves from the police who he thinks started the fights).

 

Trump is whining on social media about flags being at half staff during his inauguration.

There is literally no bottom to his classlessness.

No class, no culture and he’ll have no legacy beyond those things.

 

Murder rates down for third straight year as Trump talks like they are at an all-time high and increasing (and supposedly due to people crossing the border). They dropped 16% in 2024.


US poised to see dramatic drop in homicides for 3rd straight year

excerpt:

"Other major cities seeing precipitous reductions in homicides this year are New Orleans, down 38%; Washington, D.C., down 29%; Memphis, Tennessee, down 23%; Baltimore, down 24%; Kansas City, Missouri, down 20%; and Los Angeles, down 15%."

 

Watch- it’s all going to increase during the next four years.

 

The flags should be at bottom-staff.

Half for Jimmy Carter and another half because Trump was reelected.

 

Trump complained about not receiving a thank-you from the McCain family after the funeral.

Trump said he had to sign paperwork that gave John McCain his burial.

 

Trump holds private party at Mar-a-Lago to show film that defends Eastman who was an architect for trying to overthrow the 2020 election.

Reminders of Jan. 6 attack fade in the Capitol as Trump retakes power

excerpt:

Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges, who fought the rioters and was captured on video screaming as they crushed him in a doorway that led to the inauguration stage, said it’s “incredibly offensive” that the plaque hasn’t been installed.

“It’s an incredibly simple thing, but it can mean a lot to so many who fought that day to defend democracy, defend Congress, the vice president and staffers,” he said. He said Jan. 6 has become a political issue. “It shouldn’t be,” he said.

 

It's the four-year anniversary of Trump's riot at the Capitol.

The plaques that were to be placed at the Capitol honoring the police officers for their work on Jan. 6 were never installed.


Reminders of Jan. 6 attack fade in the Capitol as Trump retakes power

excerpt:

"But almost three years later, there is no plaque. It's unclear why or who is responsible for it. A spokeswoman for the Architect of the Capitol referred questions to the House Sergeant at Arms, who did not respond to requests for information.

Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer of New York and then-Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky signed off on the plaque, according to a Senate leadership aide who was familiar with the process but was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York has also been supportive. A spokesman for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., did not respond to requests for comment."

 

Reminders of Jan. 6 attack fade in the Capitol as Trump retakes power

excerpt:

In some ways, it’s like the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, that shook the foundations of American democracy, never happened.

“It’s been erased,” said Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt. “Winners write history and Trump won. And his version is that it was a peaceful gathering. Obviously completely untrue.”

If Trump pardons rioters, as he has said he will do after taking office Jan. 20, that would be “putting an exclamation point on his version of what happened,” Welch said.

 

Revisited - Four years after US Capitol riot, nation remains divided by opposing narratives

excerpt:

"Since the riot, more than 900 people have been sentenced and over half of them jailed. Trump himself was indicted for inciting insurrection, but those proceedings were dropped after his re-election in November 2024. Four years later, Americans remain deeply divided over the events of January 6, 2021."
