The Donald Trump Score Card

Senate likely to change House-passed megabill advancing Trump’s agenda

excerpt:

"[The] House bill is going to add about $4 trillion to the debt ceiling. The Senate bill adds $5 trillion. There's nothing fiscally conservative about expanding the debt ceiling more than we've ever done it before," Republican Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday. "This will be the greatest increase in the debt ceiling ever, and the GOP owns this now … the deficit this year will be $2.2 trillion the GOP owns that now too."

 

Why people are still supporting Trump is remarkable. He holds an official gathering at the White House with a foreign dignitary and is showing photos that don't even support the truther claims he if making.

 

An example.

"In November, Mississippi father-of-four Kasper Eriksen couldn’t wait to see Donald Trump return as president. Six months later, he was in chains and being deposited in the nightmarish Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, tossed into a cramped cell with 100 other unfortunate people snatched off the streets by ICE."

 

Donald Trump Is Making America Dumber—On Purpose | Opinion

excerpt:

"Trump is lobotomizing America. He is directly and intentionally attacking the functioning of our collective brain in order to achieve his own quixotic ends. Under cover of fighting a range of real or imagined afflictions— illegal immigration, America's manufacturing decline; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs; and government inefficiency—Trump's administration has launched a multi-front war on America's intelligence. This campaign is not only winning, it's creating what might be a permanent rout, a generational degrading of our intellectual capacity."

The tactics boil down to a one-two punch: jabs aimed at eroding the smarts of any opposition, haymakers of dumbed-down blather that overwhelm nuanced thought."

excerpt:

"That is how empires tend to fall. Either they are defeated in battle, and are conquered or collapse, or they suffer a succession crisis and fall apart (both often enabled by corruption and mismanagement). Or they are simply eclipsed by another power, as happened when the British Empire fell short and the U.S. succeeded it.

President Trump, by contrast, was handed an empire in splendid condition. The core alliance of NATO was stronger than it had been in decades, as Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine pushed Sweden and Finland to join. Thanks to President Biden’s policies, the American economy was the envy of the world, with a post-pandemic recovery that outstripped any peer nation. The dollar was still by far the most important reserve currency, and the U.S. still had control over global financial pipelines."

 

Musk and Trump Are Causing the Dumbest Imperial Collapse in History

excerpt:

"Threatening unprovoked war on a NATO ally for no reason destroys this trust—indeed, it makes clear that America is now a rogue state, led by erratic, violent madmen. Even Hitler felt he had to make up some lying pretext about German minorities being oppressed before he stole the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. Trump just saw a map and thought, “I’ll have that.”

Something similar is true of Trump’s threatened tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and Europe. We have pre-existing trade agreements with those countries—indeed, the one with Canada and Mexico was signed by Trump himself. Yet Trump will break his word on a whim."

excerpt:

"America suffered no military defeat. We were not outstripped economically by a bigger or better-organized competitor. Rather, we elected an insane tyrant who is blowing up the foundation of our international power for no reason, all while he lets a South African immigrant ultra-billionaire and his crew of teenybopper fascists tear the wiring out of the federal government—again, for no reason."

 

The Republicans have been quiet about it.

 

Trump administration is ending Harvard's ability to enroll international students because it won't comply with Trump's anti-diversity policies and other demands.


Trump administration ends Harvard's ability to enrol international students

excerpt:

The Trump administration has launched investigations into dozens of universities across the countries and wrung concessions from other major US institutions like Columbia University in New York.

But in April, Harvard University became the most prominent institution to push back, announcing it would sue the Trump administration after it sent the school a list of lengthy demands. The White House later said the list was sent by mistake.

It has demanded Harvard change its hiring, admissions and teaching practices to help fight antisemitism on campus. It has threatened to revoke the university's tax-exempt status and freeze billions of dollars in government grants.

Harvard earlier this year said it had taken many steps to address antisemitism, and that the government's demands were an effort to regulate the university's "intellectual conditions".

 

Trump seems to think America needs a recession.

When Trump ran for office the first time, he was supposedly going to help all his followers who he said were left behind by the Great Recession.

This time he's saying that in order to help his left-behinders, another recession is needed first to eventually take them to the promised land.

Wow, talk about “buyer’s remorse”…….

 

One of the most prestigious Universities in the world , Harvard, will now be gutted because--NO ONE AND NO ORGANIZATION is allowed to criticize a childish ,brain addled ,narcissistic BLOWHARD WITH THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY BEHIND HIM. NO SIR. NOT IN THIS COUNTRY.!!

 

Harvard can "come to the table" and negotiate this thing to everyones satisfaction. But NO, they are playing tough, so let it play out.

 

The only way to "come to the table " with trump is to kiss his fat ass. Which many love to do.

 

Such a jackass. Oh, and how he just ambushed the South African brass....just like he did to Zellenskyy.

 

It's OK to be White but not in SA or St Louis. Trump derangement syndrome is anti White. Are you anti White? Scratch em?

 

Nope. White as can be here. Why would I hate myself? For some odd reason I hate liars, criminals, those who make fun of the disabled, those with no morals, those that assault women, etc. Don't know why I'm like that--just odd , I guess. I'll have to work on that.
