The Donald Trump Score Card

After Trump 2024 election win, the big tech, social, and media companies that Trump used to insult are running up to praise him.


Big Tech CEOs rush to congratulate Trump on election win

excerpt:

"The Post was preparing to endorse Trump’s rival Vice President Kamala Harris for president, but in a stunning move Bezos forced the paper to cancel its plans."

 

In addition to Chronister and Bondi of Tampa, Trump has selected Dave Weldon of the Tampa area to head the CDC.


Trump picks loyalist Kash Patel to head FBI

excerpt:

"Trump also named Chad Chronister, sheriff of Hillsborough County, Florida, as his pick as administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency, where he would work closely with Trump's choice for attorney general, Pam Bondi.

Bondi is also from the Tampa area that Chronister serves."

 

A few more.


No liberal elites are going to make me wear a life jacket.

Trump will fix it! (the hole that isn't there)

We can save ourselves by chanting "USA! USA!"

Let's hear Trump recite the snake poem again with Ave Maria playing in the background as we sink.

At least we're not in an electric boat and won't die by electrocution.

 

Trump should create a new cabinet-level department: The Department Of Fighting.

He can assign multiple, temporary, acting directors to run it at the same time, all fighting with each other while Trump sits back and enjoys it.

 

People who were with Trump at his gathering at ring-side seats at a UFC fight after the 2024 election.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who were picked by Trump to lead the proposed new Department of Government Efficiency.

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s choice for director of national intelligence.

His pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-LA, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

 

At Trump's 2024 Thanksgiving Day dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Elon Musk was sitting at Trump's right side and Barron at his left. Melania was actually present this time.

VP-elect Vance wasn't seen at the table. If he was there, he was crowded out by Elon Musk.

 

Trump picks 'nice-looking guy' hedge fund manager as treasury secretary.

excerpt:

“He’s a nice-looking guy, too!” Trump said after pulling Bessent onstage at a rally in North Carolina this summer.

 

In years past, Trump railed again the big Wall Street wealthy elites.


https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/22/scott-bessent-treasury-secretary-trump-00188549

excerpt:

"But Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), who chairs the Finance Committee, criticized Trump’s selection of a hedge fund manager to run Treasury.

“Donald Trump pretends to be an economic populist, but it wouldn’t be a Trump Treasury Department without a rich political donor running the show,” Wyden said in a statement.

Progressive groups that are critical of Wall Street also pounced on the nomination. Accountable.US Executive Director Tony Carrk said Trump’s selection of Bessent “shows he just wants to keep a rigged system that only works for big corporations and the very wealthy.”"

 

Trump couldn't keep his mouth closed.

He made more public remarks about Carroll during the first defamation case ($5 million award to Carroll in May 2023) that were used against him successfully in a second defamation case ($83 million award to Carroll in January 2024).

Rudy Giuliani is the same. He's still mouthing off at election workers Freeman and Moss after losing his first defamation case ($148 million) and is now facing trial in January 2025 for a second defamation case. Giuliani asked a judge to delay the trial until after Trump's inauguration so that he could attend inauguration of Trump (who owes Giuliani a couple million dollars in legal fees). The judge rejected the request.

Trump wants to fire Wray and install Kash Patel to head the FBI.

Trump nominated Christopher Wray in 2017 to head the FBI after he disposed of Comey whom he didn't like.

Trump doesn't like anyone who might hold him accountable to the law.


Christopher A. Wray - Wikipedia

excerpt:

"According to then Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Trump interviewed Wray for the vacant FBI Director job on May 30.[14] Eight days later, Trump announced his intention to nominate Wray to be the next FBI Director.[29]"

 

After saying publicly that he wouldn't, Biden pardons his son Hunter.

The sentencing hearings for the two criminal cases were scheduled for December 12 and 16.

Trump will be steaming.


President Biden pardons his son Hunter Biden

 

I’m glad Biden did it!

 

This time, Trump is praising Musk for his rockets instead of insulting him like he did two years ago when Musk said Trump should sail into the sunset..[/QUOTE]

They are populist, opportunist wind vanes with no moral compass. McCarthy, Graham, Musk, Zuckerberg, Trump, and the two anchors from MSNBC (Scarborough and Brzezinski) who visited him at Mar-a-Lago just after the 2024 election.

 

California lawmakers propose setting aside money to defend the state against Trump.

excerpt:

"Sure, there are dangers, including by a Supreme Court that might grant great deference to the president. But in the end, Donald Trump really only has two years to try to execute state capture. Legal battles, congressional pushback, market forces, midterm elections in 2026 and internal Republican dissent will slow him down and restrain him. The bottom line is that the U.S. is too decentralized in its governance system for a complete takeover. The Orbanization of America is not an imminent threat."

 

Trump's decision to tap Kash Patel for FBI director sends shockwaves through Washington

excerpt:

"John Bolton, who served as national security adviser in Trump's first term and was Patel's boss, compared the nomination to Joseph Stalin's secret police chief.

"Fortunately, the FBI is not" Stalin's secret police, Bolton said. "The Senate should reject this nomination 100-0."

In response to Bolton's comments, Vice President-elect JD Vance posted on social media that "John Bolton has been wrong about everything so I guess Kash must be pretty awesome.""

 

The only elections Trump has won have been against women.

To his frustration, he can never say he beat a man.

Moreover, Trump lost to a man (Biden) who he said was so weak that he would have to leave the U.S. after the 2020 election if he lost to him.

 

Trump names Boulos as a senior advisor to cover Middle Eastern affairs.

Boulos is the father of the husband of Trump's daughter, Tiffany.


https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/01/us/politics/trump-massad-boulos-middle-east.html

excerpt:

"Before the election last month, Mr. Boulos played a major unofficial role in the Trump campaign, courting Arab American voters who Republican strategists hoped would support Mr. Trump out of frustration with President Biden’s support for Israel. Despite Mr. Trump’s own defiantly pro-Israel policies during his first term as president, Mr. Boulos worked to build support for him in heavily Arab American and Muslim corners of Michigan."

 

Trump is known for having a love for people who have committed financial crimes, even the most wicked of crimes.

For his government spending reduction quest, Elon Musk should be hunting the type of people whom Trump pardoned who stole massive amounts of money from the healthcare system. In one case, it was a 1.3 billion scam healthcare. Trump granted clemency to the scammer.
