The Donald Trump Score Card

These people are not very bright, are they...

 

In spite of Oz promoting remedies unproven by science and medicine, he has defended his promotions by saying he's doing a great public service so that people will be informed of the full range of quack remedies at their disposal.

 

Up next: Dr. Oz promotes a cocktail and raspberry extract and Ivermectin as a remedy for a former president who has a pathology of endorsing candidates who have been accused of abusing their spouses.

 

Jerry Springer says Donald Trump is 'exactly' like the people who appeared on his show except they had 'enough sense' not to run for president

excerpt:

"Describing guests who appeared on his show, which sometimes featured physical fights, Springer said they would "curse and yell and sometimes fight because they don't have the skills to settle things in different ways."

That, Springer said, is just like Trump.

"But what made Trump unique, the only thing that separates him from the guests on my show is the fact that he had this delusion he knew how to run the world and run the country when, in fact, he knows nothing about how you run a country," Springer added."

 

Fraud Endorses Quack

excerpt:

"Former reality TV star and former president Donald Trump endorsed former TV huckster Dr. Mehmet Oz in a statement on Saturday. Oz is running as a Republican for a Pennsylvania Senate seat.

“I have known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show,” Trump said in the statement, adding, “He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected and smart.” Trump also praised Oz’s popularity with women. Women “are drawn to Dr. Oz for his advice and counsel,” said Trump, who has been credibly accused of assault by multiple women and bragged on tape about serially groping women.

Oz and Trump have a history. During the 2016 race, Oz invited Trump to his show where the then-candidate shared a letter about his health signed by Dr. Howard Bornstein, a gastroenterologist who later admitted that Trump “dictated that whole letter” to him. “I didn’t write that letter. I just made it up as I went along,” Bornstein said. Trump never released his full medical records. And a few weeks after Trump entered office, Bornstein said that Trump’s bodyguard and a Trump Organization lawyer “raided” the doctor’s office, leaving with Trump’s records.

But Oz accepted at face value the letter Trump showed him and later said on the Today show that the information he saw “indicate[d] that [Trump] is healthy enough to be president.”

Trump referenced his appearance on Oz’s show in his endorsement. “[Oz] even said that I was in extraordinary health, which made me like him even more (although he said I should lose a couple of pounds!),” Trump said.

But Oz’s popularity, like Trump’s, is built on a foundation of misinformation. A study published in the British Medical Journal in 2014 found that at least half of the medical advice Oz gave on his show was bunk. And during the pandemic, Oz promoted hydroxychloroquine — a drug heavily promoted by Trump despite a serious lack of evidence that it was an effective treatment for Covid-19.

No wonder Trump feels fondly about Oz."

 

Trump claims he's the 'most honest human being, perhaps, that God ever created' during rally in North Carolina, video shows

excerpt:

"Speaking at a rally in Selma, North Carolina on Saturday evening, former President Donald Trump claimed that he is one of the most honest human beings to walk on earth.

"I've got to be the cleanest sheriff," Trump said. "I think I'm the most honest human being, perhaps, that God ever created." There were ripples of laughter from his supporters as he said it.

 

Trump is also so humble that, in addition to CBS journalist Lesley Stahl, God might not even understand it.

 

Jan. 6 Panel Has Evidence for Criminal Referral of Trump, but Splits on Sending

WASHINGTON — The leaders of the House committee investigating the Capitol attack have grown divided over whether to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department of former President Donald Trump, even though they have concluded that they have enough evidence to do so, people involved in the discussions said.

The debate centers on whether making a referral — a largely symbolic act — would backfire by politically tainting the Justice Department’s expanding investigation into the Jan. 6 assault and what led up to it.

Since the summer, a team of former federal prosecutors working for the committee has focused on documenting the attack and the preceding efforts by Trump and his allies to reverse his defeat in the 2020 election. The panel plans to issue a detailed report on its findings, but in recent months it has regularly signaled that it was also weighing a criminal referral that would pressure Attorney General Merrick Garland to open a criminal investigation into Trump.

 

Since the Justice Dept is having its own active investigation into Jan 6th events . The question is if the committee submits a letter of criminal referral will it look like a " witch hunt from one party against another. Or would it be received by the public as a valid referral and not become a political attacking point .. The judges comments this past week about Trump and his lawyer " most likely more then not committed crimes " will have more of a punch to it then the committee's referral

 

He only knows Dr. Oz through his tv show……

 

got him some coffee one time?

Opinion | The Unholy Alliance of Trump and Dr. Oz (Published 2020)

excerpt:

"Even so, Oz is to medicine what Trump is to politics: someone who has bent the discipline to the dictates of entertainment in pursuit of ever more celebrity, ever more power, and has warped and cheapened it in the process.

So when you hear him cheerleading for a supposed coronavirus cure, ask yourself what you do when Trump raises his own pom-poms: Is he engaged in meaningful public education, or does he just realize that magic and miracles draw more eyeballs than dutiful analyses of pros, cons and incomplete data?"

 

Trouble in Magaland.

Trumpworld Goes Into Meltdown After Trump Endorses Dr. Oz

excerpt:

"The infighting only intensified as more conservative commentators and politicos lined up to take shots at Trump’s endorsement.

“It’s like Donald Trump’s staff is sabotaging Trump by convincing him to make the worst possible endorsements,” conservative radio host Erick Erickson tweeted.

“This endorsement could divide MAGA in the only way that matters: he could lose America First conservatives over it,” Breitbart News’ Joel Pollak wrote.

Elsewhere, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), who is running for the Senate and who has split with Trump in recent over back-and-forth accusations of election interference, chalked up the Oz endorsement to weak-kneed staffers the ex-president has enlisted.

“This is happening because Trump’s surrounded himself by staff who are on McConnell’s payroll & hostile to the MAGA agenda. Everybody telling Trump who to endorse in primaries works for The Swamp,” said Brooks, whose Trump endorsement was recently rescinded. “They played him. Again.”

But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) didn’t immediately jump in on backing Oz during an interview with Fox News Sunday, stating, “I think we’re in a good position to win that race regardless of who the nominee is.”"

 

Rep. Cheney says it is 'it is absolutely clear that what President Trump was doing ... was unlawful' - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

“I think what we have seen is a massive and well-organized and well-planned effort that used multiple tools to try to overturn an election,” the Wyoming Republican told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

Cheney, who serves on the committee, also pushed back on a Sunday New York Times article which said the committee is split on whether to refer Trump for criminal contempt, saying “There’s not really a dispute on the committee.”

“The committee is working in a really collaborative way to discuss these issues as we are with all of the issues we’re addressing and we’ll continue to work together to do so,” she said. “I wouldn’t characterize there being a dispute on the committee. I think it is the single most collaborative committee on which I’ve ever served.”

 

How Ginni Thomas jockeyed for influence in Trump's orbit - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"One week after the 2018 midterms, President Donald Trump hosted a private lunch with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, conservative activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas.

She used her face time with Trump to cajole him about her floundering efforts to install friends and allies into plum administration positions, two former senior White House officials told CNN, one of whom said Trump encouraged her to get in touch with his staff about the matter.

But when Ginni Thomas contacted Trump’s aides inside the Presidential Personnel Office, her requests were slow-walked, former officials said. Fearful that she might turn Trump against his own criminal justice reform bill, which she fervently opposed, they delayed granting her ask for a sit-down meeting with Trump, while the legislation made its way through Congress.

These previously unreported details are emblematic of how Ginni Thomas tried to maneuver her way into Trump’s orbit during his presidency.

Sources said Ginni Thomas leveraged existing connections to conservative figures and sought inroads with Trump staffers, to become a recurring presence at his White House. She became part of a larger group of Republican activists who met in the White House on a near-monthly basis, though not with Trump, a source told CNN. Along the way, sources said she became a persistent nuisance to some of the Trump aides tasked with managing her entreaties.

Already a firm believer that hostile “deep state” forces had infiltrated the Trump administration, Ginni Thomas later embraced even more militant conspiracies about the 2020 election being stolen, raising a flurry of ethical red flags for her husband on the Supreme Court, who has already ruled on one January 6-related case and is facing pressure to recuse himself from future cases."

 

Trump World will go into shock even more when they realize OZ is a Muslim!

 

Trump might not be aware that Oz donated money to John McCain and that he'd be the first Muslim in the U.S. Senate.
