The Donald Trump Score Card

Similarly, Trump said during the past week that he would considering making building materials exempt from his tariffs so as to not harm California's efforts to rebuild after the wildfires, admitting again that his tariffs are damaging after claiming they are free money rolling into the U.S. from other countries.

 

Senators, vote 'no' on RFK Jr. — who's still a 'radical left lunatic' hazardous to our health

excerpt:

It was less than a year ago, in April of 2024, that then-candidate Donald Trump went on a late-night tear against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“I lived with RFK Jr. in New York and watched him convince Governor Cuomo to make Environmental moves that were outright NASTY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Upstate New York was not allowed to drill or frack as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and others ripped off New York Energy. Because of this, prices have skyrocketed all over that part of the Country.”

“I’d even take Biden over Junior’, because our Country would last a year or two longer prior to collapse.”

 

Trump wants to pick and choose which attributes of RJK Jr. are to be permitted in his administration.


Senators, vote 'no' on RFK Jr. — who's still a 'radical left lunatic' hazardous to our health

excerpt:

"The president and his team insist that RFK Jr. has been fitted with a policy straitjacket — that certain areas such as vaccines and objecting to energy strategy are off-limits.

But in truth, the only straitjacket suitable for RFK Jr. is a real one."

 

That can be said for many of Trump's selections.

 

Trump loves such people.

While at the White House watching the mayhem of the riot, Trump reportedly said 'Look at all those people fighting for me'.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Trump was gleeful while watching the riot.


Trump 'gleefully' watched Capitol rioters 'fighting' for him on TV at White House: Grisham

excerpt:

“All I know about that day was, he was in the dining room gleefully watching on his TV as he often did, [saying] ‘Look at all of the people fighting for me,’ hitting rewind, watching it again,” Grisham said. “That’s what I know.”

As well as being an assassination victim. I wonder if that’s what’s behind the shift.

 

Google Maps users in U.S. will see Gulf of Mexico renamed Gulf of America and Denali changed to Mount McKinley

excerpt:

"We've received a few questions about naming within Google Maps. We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources," wrote Google in a social media post Monday. Their policy is to implement title changes for geographic features in the U.S. after the adjustments appear in the Geographic Names Information System.

"When that happens, we will update Google Maps in the U.S. quickly to show Mount McKinley and Gulf of America," the tech company said.

 

Billionaire Sundar Pichai of Google was at Trump's inauguation along with a collection of ultra-billionaires.

Trump vowed to change the name of Mt. Denali back to Mt. McKinley during his first term but didn't.

excerpte:

"Ohio Republicans were critical of the renaming. John Boehner, who served as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and a Representative from Ohio at the time that the name change was announced, said he was "deeply disappointed" by the change,[7] while Regula, who had retired by the time the name change was announced, commented that Obama "thinks he is a dictator".[38] Presidential candidate Donald Trump called the name change a "great insult to Ohio" and vowed to reverse the decision if elected.[39]"


"After the 2016 presidential election, President Trump and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke asked Alaskan senators Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski whether they wanted Trump to reverse the name change. The two senators told Trump that they did not want this, and Trump agreed not to reverse the name change.[44][45]"

 

That was before Trump started hating Sen. Murkowski who voted to convict Trump on charges of inciting an insurrection at the Capitol.

 

Murkowski didn't vote to convict Trump for his first impeachment that involved withholding U.S. money from Ukraine to coerce the leader of Ukraine to conduct a public smear campaign on Biden for the 2020 election.

Murkowski did vote to convict Trump on his second impeachment for inciting an insurrection. She was one of seven GOP senators who voted to convict.

Murkowski survived reelection and arguably due to a rank-choice primary system that went into effect. Otherwise, she could have been 'primaried' out of office, like Trump did to numerous politicians who he felt defied him.

 

Ranked-Choice Voting Loses Everywhere Except Alaska

excerpt:

"In keeping with the national rightward trend on November 5, the new statewide RCV ballot measures all lost (by a 54–46 percent margin in Colorado, a 53–46 percent margin in Nevada, a 70–30 percent margin in Idaho, and a 58–42 percent margin in Oregon). Meanwhile, Missouri voters approved the proposed ban on RCV by a robust 68–32 percent margin.

Arguably, the most important ballot battle was in Alaska, where RCV (with a Top 4 nonpartisan primary) was utilized in 2022 and was widely credited with making possible statewide victories by centrist Democrat Mary Peltola (running for the state’s open at-large House seat) and centrist Republican Lisa Murkowsi (an incumbent senator running for reelection), both of whom defeated Trump- and state-GOP-backed conservatives."

 

That's what Trump was doing during his riot.

Four years after his riot, he's still saying that he will tell the American public what he was doing during his riot at an appropriate time.
