The Donald Trump Score Card

The dilemma facing Trump supporters who love Trump but don't want cuts to food stamps.

Trump would like to prosecute Biden for that truther claim. But, because of Trump's criminal behavior, it wouldn't be of much use because the conservatives on the Supreme Court, to protect Trump, granted all presidents immunity for their acts all the way out to the outer limits of their presidential power.

Trump's DOJ forms 'strike force' to prosecute Obama.


Under-fire DoJ forms ‘strike force’ to investigate Obama amid Epstein scandal

 

That term has been used before by Trump's attorneys.

Giuliani, Powell, and Ellis formed the 'elite strike force' to investigate what they thought was 2020 election fraud that stole the election from Trump.

Powell and Ellis were convicted in GA in the criminal case against Trump.

 

Sidney Powell was known for saying she was going to release the 'kraken' that would reveal how the 2020 election was supposedly stolen from Trump.

Now she's a convict for tangling herself with Trump and promoting his lies.

 

Trump is being put on the spot by the defense attorneys for Epstein's girlfriend, Maxwell, for supposedly being the gold standard of dealmaking and abiding by deals.

Maxwell's defense team is arguing that the NPA agreement she had is valid in any state, which the defense argues would void the prosecution against her. Supposedly, Trump, as the great dealmaker, agrees with this.


Ghislaine Maxwell makes pitch to Supreme Court

excerpt:

"No one is above the law—not even the Southern District of New York. Our government made a deal, and it must honor it. The United States cannot promise immunity with one hand in Florida and prosecute with the other in New York. President Trump built his legacy in part on the power of a deal—and surely he would agree that when the United States gives its word, it must stand by it. We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court but to the President himself to recognize how profoundly unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein's crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted," Maxwell's attorney David Oscar Markus said in a statement.

 

It further ensnares Trump in the ongoing Epstein saga.

 

Renaming the Kennedy Center for Donald and Melania Trump would violate the law that created it

excerpt:

According to U.S. code, “After December 2, 1983, no additional memorials or plaques in the nature of memorials shall be designated or installed in the public areas of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.”

Republicans would have to pass legislation to change that. “Legally, they can’t just slap her name on it without congressional action,” said a spokesperson for Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine, the lead Democrat on the Appropriations subcommittee on the interior.

“If Republicans can’t pass their budget — which they usually can’t — the Melania Trump renaming provision dies,” the spokesperson continued. “The only real wildcard is whether Trump or his allies ignore the law entirely and try to do it unilaterally. But that would have no legal basis — and would almost certainly trigger a court fight.”

excerpt:

"Because jobs held by U.S.-born and immigrant workers are often complementary and economically linked, the shrinking supply of immigrant labor can adversely affect employer demand for jobs held by both groups of workers. As Howard, Wang, and Zhang (2024) observe, when there are fewer immigrant roofers and framers to build the basic structure of homes, there will be less work available for U.S.-born electricians and plumbers. If there are fewer dishwashers and cooks, restaurants may limit their hours or shift their operations toward takeout, reducing the overall employment of waitstaff and managers.

Complementary immigrant and U.S.-born employment can also cut across sectors. East and Velásquez (2024) found that the Secure Communities enforcement program reduced the hours of immigrant child care workers and cleaners, and U.S.-born mothers of young children worked less in response, presumably due to increased care responsibilities at home.

Finally, the reduction in the immigrant population and their public activities is a reduction in consumers and business owners, negatively affecting consumer demand and investment on top of falling local demand due to reduced immigrant and U.S.-born employment. As immigrant employment and earnings fall, so will consumption of goods and services."

 

Trump will fix it. He said he's planning to implement a fast-track visa program to bring in more foreign workers to take all the vacant (due to his deportations) supposed great-paying jobs that were stolen from Americans.

He should have implemented that first.

Trump is ten steps ahead of everyone.

 

The American voting public voted for Trump's mass deportations.

They got it.

excerpt:

WASHINGTON — “Mass deportation now!” is a catchphrase for the Trump presidential campaign, as the Republican nominee proposes a crackdown on immigration that would oust thousands of undocumented people.

Often citing a deportation operation enacted by former President Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s, former President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed in campaign rallies that he plans to not only go back to the tough immigration policies of his first term in office, but expand them greatly.

“We’re going to have the largest deportation,” Trump said at a June campaign rally in Racine, Wisconsin. “We have no choice.”

The crowd responded with a chant: “Send them back. Send them back. Send them back.”

excerpt:

“Following the Eisenhower model, we will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” Trump said at a September rally last year in Ankeny, Iowa.

But what the Trump campaign is proposing is not an Eisenhower-style crackdown, said Michael Clemens, a professor in the Department of Economics at George Mason University.

“That policy was instituted hand-in-hand with a crucial other arm of the policy,” he said — which was that lawful work pathways for Mexicans to the U.S. were nearly tripled at the same time as the mass deportations.

“We’ve heard zero about substantial increases in lawful migration pathways from the people who are now talking about an Eisenhower-style crackdown,” Clemens said. “What they’re proposing is not an Eisenhower-style crackdown — it is something that the Eisenhower administration understood would not work and therefore it did not do.”

 

Trump got his tariff hike. The rest remains murky.

Dmitry Medvedev says Trump's ultimatum to Russia to stop its war on Ukraine is a threat to Trump's country.

“We’re operating in nonstandard territory in terms of seeing him using Scotland as just a meeting room and use his properties as a venue for trade talks,” said Jack Nevin, who organized a protest Saturday in Edinburgh on behalf of Stop Trump Coalition. “It’s par for the course with his rank corruption and promoting his own businesses as president.”

Trump says Epstein poached workers from Mar-a-Lago.


Trump says Epstein ‘stole’ victim Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago

excerpt:

Asked point blank if one of them was Giuffre, who died aged 41 by suicide earlier this year, he replied: “I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people.”

“I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah, he stole her,” Trump added. “And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.”
