The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump's injury to the U.S. soybean markets this year and into the next.

excerpt:

"China is dealing with a glut of soybeans after months of record imports, which could curb prospects of US exports despite a truce that Washington said included a pledge by Beijing to start buying soybeans again. "There is not much room for China to increase soybean imports. Soybean stocks are huge and demand for the feed sector is very slow," Reuters reported one trader as saying."

 

That was also Trump's behavior during his first term.

Don't reelect such people.

 

Trump files to hire 566 foreign laborers in 2025 to work in jobs at his resorts such as farm workers and housekeepers.

Trump's excuse for hiring foreigners to do his housekeeping work is that they have special expertise that isn't available in the U.S., like missile builders.


Trump:

“You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say, ‘I’m going to put you into a factory where we’re going to make missiles.”

 

Trump losing support from public, incluing Repubicans.


More Americans are unhappy with the way Trump is managing the government, AP-NORC poll shows

excerpt:

"The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research was conducted after Democrats’ recent victories in off-year elections but before Congress took major steps to try to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history. It shows that only 33% of U.S. adults approve of the way the Republican president is managing the government, down from 43% in an AP-NORC poll from March.

That was driven in large part by a decline in approval among Republicans and independents. According to the survey, only about two-thirds of Republicans, 68%, said they approve of Trump’s government management, down from 81% in March. Independents’ approval dropped from 38% to 25%."

 

Trump is trying to ease the blow of his tariffs on the American consumers by conceding on particular items.


Trump tariffs live updates: Trump, Bessent at possible moves to ease prices on coffee, bananas

excerpt:

"Coffee, we're going to lower some tariffs," Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in an interview.

Bessent added in his own Fox News interview: "You're going to see some substantial announcements over the next couple of days in terms of things we don’t grow here in the United States, coffee being one of them, bananas, other fruits, things like that."

The comments come as Trump attempts to ward off concerns over inflation and affordability, which many Republicans blame for electoral struggles earlier this month. Trump has also in recent days floated the possibility of a tariff "dividend" for many Americans.

 

Judge appears skeptical of government's actions as Comey, James press to have cases tossed

excerpt:

"The legal challenge comes on the heels of other successful efforts to disqualify prosecutors that the Trump administration had attempted to install in at least three other U.S. attorneys offices in Los Angeles, Nevada and New Jersey beyond the 120-day limit set by federal law.'

 

Nothing to see here: Trump press chief in full denial mode over Epstein

excerpt:

"Donald Trump was described as “that dog that hasn’t barked” in an email by Jeffrey Epstein. Don’t tell Kristi Noem, who has a way of dealing with troublesome hounds.

The US president would love nothing more than to let sleeping dogs lie, but that hope was dashed on Wednesday when Democrats released emails suggesting that Trump was aware of Epstein’s conduct and had spent hours with one of the disgraced financier’s victims."

 

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker worries that Trump will go to extremes to distract from Epstein files

excerpt:

“My great fear, of course, is that with the release of that information, which I think will be devastating for Trump, he’s going to do everything in his power to distract,” Pritzker told The Associated Press in a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday. “What does that mean? I mean, he might take us to war with Venezuela just to get a distraction in the news and take it out of the headlines.”

 

Jeffrey Epstein emails: Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and more

excerpt:

Epstein repeatedly ripped Trump’s business practices in the emails and called him “dirty.”

After attorney and former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler sent Epstein a link to a New York Times op-ed that referenced former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, Epstein responded, “you see, I know how dirty donald is. My guess is that non lawyers ny biz people have no idea. What it means to have your fixer flip.”

In another email, Epstein accused Trump of using financial shenanigans to outbid him on a property.

“He has no money when he buys the house,” he wrote in a February 2019 email to Wolff.

 

Jeffrey Epstein emails: Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and more

“His biz model is putting his name on a real estate development and gets a fee for using his name. The hotel biz is just that,” Epstein wrote.

“Trump put his name on it, and get a 2% fee and maybe a piece of the profit if any on sale. He touts the project as ‘his’… just as in his current financial statements on file as president he lists his ‘income’ as the GROSS receipts of the clubs, with no expenses, not his personal revenue ie the doral golf club loses money every year. It pays out more than it takes in, but he lists the revenue as his income. AMAZING.”

 

The fact that Trump is calling the latest releases of Epstein information a Democratic smear doesn't mean that it isn't factual

Likewise, just because you are paranoid doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't all out to get you.

 

Trump is telling the president of Israel to pardon the prime minister of Israel, Netanyahu.

Appeals Court Finds Undue Delay, Orders Prompt Ruling in Trump Classified Documents Case

excerpt:

“We’re pleased that today’s order recognizes that there is no legitimate reason for the court’s months-long delay in ruling on our request to make the special counsel’s report public,” said Scott Wilkens, senior counsel at the Knight First Amendment Institute. “This report is of singular importance to the public because it addresses allegations of grave criminal conduct by the nation’s highest-ranking official, and should be made public without further delay.”

 

Trump's revenge cases funneled to Judge Aileen Cannon.


'Very concerned': Red flags fly as Trump's revenge cases funneled to Aileen Cannon

 

Judge Aileen Cannon Is Back—and Poised to Do More Damage for Trump | The New Republic

excerpt:

“I don’t know that we should be suspicious of everything Aileen Cannon does, but we do know that her track record in the Mar-a-Lago case with the documents was first to impose some really extraordinary hoops for the prosecutors to go through at the time of the search, and then of course the dismissal of the case finding the special counsel regulations to be unconstitutional, contrary to every other court that has looked at it,” McQuade continued.

“So, I think that there’s reason to be very concerned about the irregularities that are occurring in this office,” she added.

 

Cannon could have made that ruling about Jack Smith when the case was first presented to her about a year earlier

Instead, she slow-walked the case and eventually (after hearing an opinion remark made by Clarence Thomas) she said that Jack Smith was illegally appointed. She dismissed the entire federal documents case against Trump.

 

Trump pardoned him in January 2021 just before he left office.

Drug dealer given clemency by Trump back behind bars for alleged attacks on nurse, nanny

 

I still can remember that picture of Donald Trump JR, thinking it was manly after having killed such a magnificent creature as an elephant ---standing proudly there grinning like a jack ass while waving the excised tail of the dead animal around. I find it difficult trying to think of anything worthwhile about ANY member of that family. Barron doesn't stand a chance.

 

Yeah, the doof shot a giraffe. How could you shoot a giraffe? That's like shooting a koala. Was there some particular skill in shooting a very large, not particularly fast, docile animal that was probably fleeing with a high powered rifle and probably a 50X scope? That's the makings of a man right there.
