The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump fires USDA inspector general.


USDA inspector general escorted out of office after defying Trump order

excerpt:

"In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.

Fong declined to comment.

The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying “these rogue, partisan bureaucrats … have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy.”

The USDA inspector general has a broad mandate, pursuing consumer food safety, audits and investigations of the agriculture department as well as violations of animal welfare laws. The USDA has been at the heart of concerns about bird flu, which has spread among cattle and chickens and killed a person in Louisiana."

 

This is what morons voted for. Why does he do shit like this?

 

He's been given permission to be his moronic self by millions of other morons!! As some right winger said about rape--don't fight it--just lay back and enjoy it. This shit is REAL!!

 

And vice versa unfortunately. His election gives millions permission to be their moronic selves.

 

Oh dear Mr trump--you are the most handsome gentleman I have ever seen. And of course , the smartest man who ever walked the earth. Many are saying. I know you will be the greatest president this country has ever known.


Oh, by the way--can I have a government job, sir?? I worked as a roofer until my 70s, so I am certainly qualified . Maybe something to do with controlling ALL the money??

 

The silent majority is speaking up.

 

Trump promised mass deportations. Here’s one way they could quietly happen.

excerpt:

"Trump hasn’t elaborated on his plan, but immigration attorneys, immigrant rights advocates and criminology professors say the Trump administration wouldn’t have to conduct large workplace raids or round up immigrants in the streets. Instead, it could begin immediately targeting the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. — including 1.6 million in Texas — by using the current deportation apparatus used by local police, jails and federal agents.

All immigrants — even if they have legal status — can face deportation if they’re accused of serious crimes like murder, domestic violence, drunk driving, sexual assault, or murder. Congress is now considering a bill that would let officials deport immigrants for less serious crimes like shoplifting."

excerpt:

"Upon taking office, Mr. Trump issued executive orders stating his desire to end those programs, and existing appointments made through the CBP One app were canceled.

Immigrants who enter the country through these programs were following the current rules, but Mr. Trump and other Republicans have attacked them and said the programs are illegal."

excerpt:

"To deport millions of "criminals," Trump would have to consider all undocumented immigrants as criminals. But being in the U.S. illegally is a civil violation, not a criminal one.

Those millions would have to include agricultural, construction and service workers, students and others who are unauthorized to be in the U.S. but have no criminal backgrounds, according to legal specialists and an Axios review of federal immigration data.

Unauthorized immigrants caught near the border can be quickly removed.

But any convicted immigrants serving time — or those charged with crimes — will face deportation hearings only after the U.S. criminal justice system is done with them."

 

What else could be expected from Trump. A rationale, humane, equitable, legal remedy?

 

Trump's war on woke.


"Trump is trying to collapse our economy": War on "woke" revealed as a war on all Americans

excerpt:

"Initially, the most striking detail in the White House Office of Management and Budget memo that has put a "pause" on huge swathes of the American economy, is how unhinged the paranoia is. The order insists that all federal grant and loan spending must be halted to combat "Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies." Ordinary people may see nothing but a local bridge being repaired, broadband internet being installed or a park getting cleaned up. Through MAGA-colored glasses, it's all a plot to turn you into transgender Marxists and probably vegans, who are worse than Satanists."

 

Trump settles with Meta, the parent company of Facebook.

Meta is giving $25 million to Trump.

It will put Zuckerberg and Trump in good graces, at least for now. Zuckerberg attended Trump's inauguration.

Zuckerberg is praising Trump for increased Meta earnings.

The settlement is similar to the one ABC and Trump reached. Trump was suing George Stephanopolos.


Mark Zuckerberg starts Meta earnings call by praising Trump administration

 

Meta Agrees to Pay Trump $25 Million to Settle His Lawsuit

excerpt:

In a call with investors on Wednesday for Meta’s quarterly financial results, Mr. Zuckerberg praised the Trump administration for supporting American tech companies and “defending our values.”

He added, “This is going to be a big year for redefining our relationships with governments.”

 

The Republicans have expanded their intolerance.

They used to cut off government aid because they thought it might be used for abortions or contraceptives.

They have added 'transgender' and 'woke' to their list.

Still another is what they call environmental social engineering.

The latest is cutting off aid because of a fear that it might be used to buy condoms that could be used not just for contraception but also by insurgents to launch incendiary balloon bombs.

What will Republicans think up next.

 

The U.S. government money wasn't used to distribute condoms, and certainly not given to insurgents to use as condom bombs.


What we know about Trump's claim that the U.S. planned to spend $50 million on condoms for Gaza

excerpt:

"In a news release, the International Medical Corps, a global aid organization based in Los Angeles, responded that it has received about $68 million from USAID since Oct. 7, 2023, and has used the funding to operate two field hospitals in Gaza.

"No US government funding was used to procure or distribute condoms," the organization's statement said."

 

One of Trump's rioters whom he pardoned has been sentenced to ten years in prison for DUI that killed mother of two.

"A Missouri woman who stole Nancy Pelosi’s name plate during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and was later pardoned by President Donald Trump, was sentenced days later for an unrelated DUI crash that killed a mom of two.

Emily Hernandez, 25, was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Wednesday and will serve a concurrent 7-year sentence for a Jan. 5, 2022, wrong-way crash that killed 32-year-old Victoria Wilson and seriously injured her husband, Ryan Wilson, NBC affiliate KSDK reported."

 

Trump wants to either fire 88,000 IRS workers or move them to border security roles.


Donald Trump issues major threat to nearly 90,000 IRS agents

excerpt:

"On Day 1, I immediately halted the hiring of any new IRS agents," Trump told a crowd of supporters gathered at the Circa Resort & Casino. "You know they hired—or tried to hire—88,000 new workers to go after you, and we're in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them or maybe we'll move them to the border," he added.

 

Donald Trump issues major threat to nearly 90,000 IRS agents

excerpt:

"I think we're going to move them to the border where they are allowed to carry guns. You know, they're so strong on guns. But these people are allowed to carry guns. So we will probably move them to the border," the president said.

Trump has already implemented a 90-day hiring freeze for federal civilian employees during his first days in office, with the exception of jobs linked to immigration enforcement, national security, or public safety.
