The Donald Trump Score Card

The Real Reason Why Americans Approve of Trump’s Disastrous Transition

excerpt:

"Making matters worse is that we seem to have good reason to worry that some outlets now want to make peace with Trumpism. The owner of The Washington Post (and I think you know who he is), after nixing the paper’s already-written Kamala Harris endorsement, is donating $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. The owner of the Los Angeles Times is cooking up these new rules promising a more “fair and balanced” approach to the news. ABC is paying Trump $15 million (plus a million to cover legal fees) to settle a defamation claim that came after several ABC and Disney executives made pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago to meet with transition officials."

Trump claims he had his people track down the manager of the McDonald's that Harris said she worked at in 1982 and that the manager, who Trump says still works there (42 years later), said he doesn't remember Harris working there.

 

Kash Patel's books for 'children'.


The Situation: The Plot to Lie to Children

excerpt:

"The final book, “The Plot Against the King 3: The Return of the King,” published by Brave Books in September of this year, is arguably the most significant narratively, as it offers a window into Patel’s ambitions in a second King Trump administration.

In this offering, Shifty—who has somehow transformed from a knight to a jester—tries to set the Dragon of the Jalapenos, nicknamed DOJ (get it?) on King Trump, as the latter is trying to wrest his kingdom back from the evil Baron Von Biden. Shifty lies to the dragon that King Donald and the wizard Kash hate dragons, and DOJ goes on the attack, “lighting abandoned homes on fire with his flaming breath and singeing King Donald’s ear.” (Singeing his ear. Get it?) King Donald runs to Kash for help:"

Kash Patel can be expected to publish at least one more book where King Donald, who regains his throne, beheads Baron von Biden, Kama-lalala, Shifty, and Jack the Smith (and whoever else he doesn't like).

 

Trump never misses out on starting a big fight in the country over an issue that's brewing.

This time he's accusing Biden of covering up what's going on with the drone sightings.

Yet Trump himself said he doesn't want to comment on it, even though as president-elect he probably has access to government intelligence about it.


Trump accuses Biden, Pentagon of covering up drone mystery in NJ, NY: 'The government knows what is happening'

excerpt:

But Trump dodged answering whether he had personally received an intelligence briefing on the drones, which have stoked substantial fear and speculation.

“I don’t want to comment on that,” he told a reporter.

“I can’t imagine it’s the enemy,” the future commander-in-chief went on at another point. “Because if it was the enemy, they’d blast it out — even if they were late, they’d blast it.”

 

Trump claimed today that he one the youth vote by 34%.

NBC exit polls show he lost the youth vote to Harris by about 11%.


Fact-checking Trump's interview with 'Meet the Press'

excerpt:

"Trump picked up a larger proportion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008, according to NBC News exit polling, but he didn’t win them. Among voters ages 18-29, Harris won 54% to Trump’s 43%, the exit poll shows."

 

Smirnov pleads guilty.

He was the star witness for Republicans in Congress who have been trying to impeach Biden.

USPS says it will continue to go electric in spite of the potential for Trump to end the EV contract.


US Postal Service says it is going electric despite Trump

excerpt:

"While incoming president Donald Trump aims to cancel contracts for new EVs for the US Postal Service, the postmaster general says he defends its electrification plans and won’t return any funding for EVs – unless Congress forces the issue, of course.

Last year, Congress gave USPS $3 billion as part of a $430 billion climate bill to buy EVs and charging infrastructure. And that also included $1.2 billion for EVs, with plans to buy nearly 66,000 EVs by 2028."

 

Trump loses again in the hush money case.

A podcaster addressed a request to Clarence Thomas to lift Trump's gag order in the NY hush money case.

The Supreme Court has rejected it.

Judge Merchan stated that they weren't part of official acts. He also stated that the evidence was so overwhelmingly against Trump that the conversations wouldn't have changed the verdict.

The appeal of the case could end up being a long protracted battle all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court which would be faced with deciding if Trump's communications with Hope Hicks, which were used as evidence in the hush money case, are considered part of official presidential acts.

 

Capitol rioter who tried to flee to Russia is sent to prison for probation violation.


Capitol rioter who tried to join Russian army is sentenced to prison for probation violation

excerpt:

Loftus declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich sentenced him for the probation violation. The judge said Loftus has repeatedly violated court orders.

“He doesn’t think these rules should apply to him,” Friedrich said. “He wants to be above the law.”

 

Not much difference between Trump and his rioters.

 

Another big tech mogul flocks to Trump.
