The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump became frustrated when he learned that this communist government style tactic wasn't possible. He said he was asking his administration people what could be done about it.

He is known to exploit loopholes in the law to obtain what he wants. A recent example is when Barr cited a section that refers to National Guard training that he thinks permitted Trump to use out-of-state National Guard to counter protests in DC. Such an interpretation would allow National Guard of one state to be used in DC or other states under the guise of being on a training mission.

 

Trump might as well try to siphon money off of corporate sales that he forces via his executive power and put it in a personal defense fund to try to keep himself in power if he loses the presidential election.

Nixon concocted a scheme for funneling money to be used as hush money to those who knew about Watergate. It's not unlike the scheme Trump used via his convicted former attorney Cohen to funnel money to Stormy Daniels which precipitated a criminal investigation in NY. Trump is now desperately trying to conceal his tax returns needed by the prosecutors.

Trump has already engaged in a similar type of tactic with Ukraine by withholding U.S. government money to coerce it to dig up dirt on Biden to help win reelection under the guise of a general anti-corruption initiative. In his 'perfect' phone call, Trump even told the leader of Ukraine that attorney general Bill Barr would be calling him. It doesn't get too much more blatant than that.

 

Putin nominated for Nobel Peace prize.


Vladimir Putin nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

excerpt:

"The nomination comes as one of Putin's most prominent critics, opposition leader Alexei Navalny, is recovering from poisoning with a Soviet-era nerve agent. Independent laboratories in Germany, France and Sweden have confirmed that he was poisoned with Novichok, a toxin that has also been used against other opponents of the regime. The Kremlin has flatly rejected the claim that Navalny was poisoned in Russia.

President Trump has also been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. His nomination was submitted by a Norwegian lawmaker, who nominated him in 2018 as well.

Last week, Presidents Trump and Putin were among those "honored" with the Ig Nobel Prize for Medical Education — a tongue-in-cheek award bestowed on them and other world leaders "for using the Covid-19 viral pandemic to teach the world that politicians can have a more immediate effect on life and death than scientists and doctors can.""

 

Trump had a more immediate effect on the public than scientists when he repeatedly downplayed the virus, an act that contributed to the 200,000 U.S. coronavirus deaths.

 

2020 economy will bounce back a lot faster under Trump, and he doesn't really have to do anything, business confidence will be a lot stronger when they know there is a capitalist/ conservative at the helm

It's the way it always goes

 

Thats a comical statement in 2020

Didnt two cops just get shot by "peaceful" protesters again

 

You do realise when you quote it cuts of most of the post, so it shows the graph of the poverty rate, then you crapping on about something about the stock market

But yes, the values of a countries companies are linked to the health of the economy

 

I'm afraid not, VG; you see, The American people know by now that Trump says a lot of stupid shit when things ain't going exactly his way.

 

Didn't four right wing nut jobs get arrested in Iowa just yesterday for killing and burning a Black man?

 

Show me what he actually said that indicates thats not just another crazy left wing make believe fantasy

 

It's not crazy left wing make believe. It is Republican mental illness. We need regime change in America. And I'll remind you again: You are not allowed to vote because you are an illegal. Trump don't want illegals to vote.

 

I think it's a little conjecture... But look, Trump doesn't behave as though he's sane. He'll do literally anything and he's showing everyone; trying to prove it like a kid in sixth grade proving himself tough for the cool kids.

VG, it's really all a bit absurd. This behavior in that office is completely unacceptable. I can't wait until it's finally over. I'm hoping for this coming election.

 

Another desperation act by Trump weeks before the election.

He has already tried this ploy but the pharmaceutical industry refused to go along with it. Now Trump is trying another avenue to implement it.



Trump promises seniors $200 prescription drug gift certificates, but questions abound

Trump promises seniors $200 prescription drug gift certificates

 

Trump promises seniors $200 prescription drug gift certificates

excerpt:

"Trump’s remarks followed a similarly puzzling press briefing orchestrated by two top administration health advisers. During a Thursday afternoon call with reporters, the administration teased a “historic” health care plan likely to kickstart “the most consequential health care reform in American history.”

The actual policies they announced, however, are simple, superficial, and non-binding executive orders. Neither will improve the quality of Americans’ health care or lower its cost.

The first, said health secretary Alex Azar, is a declaration: “It is the policy of the United States that people who suffer from pre-existing conditions will be protected” from discrimination by health insurers. He acknowledged the order was redundant; it mirrors protections enshrined in the Affordable Care Act, the landmark health law that the Trump administration has asked a federal court to invalidate.

The second order, Azar said, was a directive that he work with Congress to ban “surprise” out-of-network medical bills by Jan. 1. If Congress remains gridlocked on the issue then, he added, Trump would direct him to pursue other actions or regulations.

“I don’t have details for you at this point on that,” he said.

Throughout a 30-minute press call, Azar and Seema Verma, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, struggled to provide any further detail. But they continually cast the actions as historic, the latest in a series of Trump administration attempts to play up health care actions in the final run-up to Election Day."

 

In short, Trump and his officials don't know what they are doing and are window dressing for the election.

 

No, as a matter of fact, the stock market does somewhat better under Democrats. From 1926 to 2019, we had Republican presidents for 46 years, and Democratic presidents for 48 years. The average annual return for the S&P 500 index under Republican Presidents was 9.12%, and.under Democrat Presidents, 14.94% per year-- a premium of some 5.8% per year on average.

 

No. They were shot by one non-peaceful guy, allegedly Larynzo Johnson. Nothing comical about it, and the fact that somebody in a crowd protesting the Breanna Taylor incident shot two police officers has absolutely nothing to do with the probability of right wingers resorting to violence over Trump.
Violence by far right is among US’s most dangerous terrorist threats, study finds

 

Trump understands only too well the consequences of losing in November.

His presidency will be looked upon historically as a complete joke and a complete failure of leadership.
