The Donald Trump Score Card

Opinion | What's really behind Trump's Greenland obsession

excerpt:

"Second, Lauder’s suggestion becoming an obsession for Trump highlights a habit that the president-elect has only leaned into further lately. More than ever, it appears that Trump is more easily influenced by his fellow billionaires than people with actual expertise. In his first term, he turned to the now-former head of Marvel Entertainment, Isaac Perlmutter, to act as a shadow secretary of veterans affairs. This time, he’s tapped Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to co-lead a glorified cost-cutting commission. According to The Wall Street Journal, the idea came out of a breakfast between Musk and Trump at the house of another billionaire, investor Nelson Peltz.

Finally, the whole affair speaks to Trump’s inability to take no for an answer. The Danish government was exceedingly firm in 2019 that Greenland is not for sale. His own national security staff was frustrated by the petulance on display that scuttled any chance of a deeper Danish-American security arrangement regarding Greenlandic territory. Greenland itself is pushing for total independence from Denmark, not for trading one overlord for another. And yet here we are, five years later, seeing Trump making the same demands all over again much to Greenland’s dismay."

Trump's chaotic leadership style: A case of dysfunction and confusion

 

An example of how easy it is for people to become misguided and support someone nefarious, whether it's an assassin or a politician like Trump.


'Saturday Night Live' Audience Erupts With Applause At Mention Of Luigi Mangione In Disturbing Moment

excerpt:

"The strange moment came during the ‘Weekend Update’ segment when Colin Jost simply mentioned Mangione's name. He had to stop the segment for a few seconds because the screaming and clapping from the audience was so loud, and even Jost was taken aback by folks wooing for the alleged killer.

"Yeah, definitely ‘woo,'" Jost said, while awkwardly looking around. "You’re ‘wooing’ for justice, right?"

What are the odds that the women in the audience screaming in favor of Mangione are single and recently got kicked off of their parent's insurance? Not zero, that's for sure."

 

'Justice' has become an assassin picking off a healthcare CEO.

Trump aims dig at Obama in bizarre hour-long Christmas Day Truth Social posting spree

excerpt:

Donald Trump Jr shared an AI-generated meme of Trump dressed as Father Christmas at the border titled: “He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, we’re gonna find out who’s getting deported by ICE…”

 

Leave it to the Trump clan to turn Christmas into a message about deporting people they don't like.

 

Trump is like a little elementary school kid on the playground making threats to other kids.

 

Trump can be expected to claim that the city of Grand Rapids should be paying him money for the supposed increased business he brought to the city because of his visits.

 

Trump is still claiming he saved Christmas and brought it back to the U.S.

Trump is harking back to the age of American imperialism.


Opinion | Why Trump wants the Panama Canal is a mystery. The threat behind it is not.

excerpt:

It’s worth noting that during his first term, Trump was praising the canal in a meeting with Mulino’s predecessor, Juan Carlos Varela (no relation). “The Panama Canal is doing quite well,” he said to Varela and reporters in 2017. “I think we did a good job building it.” Varela reminded Trump that the U.S. work on the canal happened “one hundred years ago.”

excerpt:

“I wouldn’t be surprised if you see largely a repeat of Trump Term 1, where at the end of the day, it’s a bunch of spending increases, tax cuts and a large increase to the debt,” Mr. Ramamurti said.

 

Extravagant spending on the military by Trump with no justification.

After Trump's second-term, the next president will be stuck with cleaning up the mess.
