The Donald Trump Score Card

Are we sure that voters did it? Never hear boo about that theory...

 

The public appears to be tiring of Trump's heavy-handed immigration policy.

He's not polling well on the economy or inflation.

Those are the issues that convinced the public to reelect him.

Trump's DOJ doesn't get the year right and doesn't name the state correctly.

It's asking Colorado for all data from the 2000 election.

excerpt:

"Both Becker and Levitt noticed some other oddities in the initial DOJ request as well, including numerous typos. The letter refers to Colorado as a "commonwealth" even though it is a state, and it erroneously requested the state preserve records from the 2000 general election instead of 2020."

 

After the 2020 election, one of Trump's lawyers filed a suit that accidentally said votes were stolen from Trump and given to Biden.

excerpt:

"Request may be tied to Colorado's prosecution of a Trump ally

Griswold and other election officials in Colorado suspect the letter to be in some way tied to the state's prosecution of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who has become a folk hero among those who still deny the 2020 election results."

Military deployment in L.A. puts Trump's authority to use troops at home in the spotlight

excerpt:

Chris Mirasola, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center, said the impact of Trump's current plan could be limited by practical considerations, including the number of military personnel available and the cost of paying National Guard troops on active duty.

"This ends up becoming extremely expensive very quickly," he added. The cost of the Los Angeles deployment alone is about $134 million, a defense department official said Tuesday.

Military personnel are also likely to have little training in how to approach a domestic protest.

"This is not in their normal mission set. There's always risk of escalation," which would only be more pronounced if the Insurrection Act was used, Mirasola added.

 

Various excuses being used by GOP lawmakers to not attend Trump's birthday parade.

excerpt:

"MAGA stalwarts Byron Donalds of Florida, Elise Stefanik of New York and Cory Mills of Florida also said they would attend, along with Reps. Rich McCormick of Georgia, John McGuire of Virginia and Lisa McClain of Michigan.

But many more said they would beg off — choosing, as most members do, to stay away from Washington for the weekend.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Majority Whip John Barrasso are skipping, as is House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. Sen. Tommy Tuberville said he’ll be back in Alabama campaigning for governor. Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin said it’s his anniversary, and “I choose to be married.” Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee said the event conflicts with his daughter’s 18th birthday."

 

Bob Costas denounces mainstream media for folding to Trump.


https://www.aol.com/bob-costas-denounces-mainstream-media-175911747.html

excerpt:

The president sued CBS’s parent company, Paramount, for $20 billion because he believed a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris was deceptively edited... and it also made him sad.

Paramount is pursuing an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which requires the approval of Trump’s Federal Communications Commission appointee Brendan Carr.

“Paying $20 million in ransom to Trump is just the cost of doing business when there’s billions of dollars at stake,” Costas lamented. “These are ongoing assaults on the basic idea of a free press.”

 

ABC is under pressure by Trump to conform to him because it needs his administration to approve an $8 billion merger between its parent company Paramount and Skydance.

excerpt:

"ABC News is parting ways with veteran correspondent Terry Moran, two days after he posted a missive on X calling President Donald Trump and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller “world-class haters.”

The network said Tuesday afternoon that Moran’s contract was about to expire, and “based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew.”

“At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,” an ABC News spokesperson said."

 

Jan. 6 riot victims, Democrats see hypocrisy in Trump's response to L.A. protests

excerpt:

"Trump still calls January 6 a 'day of love' and it's total bulls***," Dunn told CBS News.

"Hypocrisy is the key word," he said. "Trump thinks anything done in his name is OK. Jan. 6 was done in his name, so our officers don't matter."

 

Homan admits he's rounding up people without criminal record.


ICE Director Admits He’s Rounding Up People Without Criminal Records

excerpt:

“ICE’s new operation involves RE-arresting people who are currently undergoing the court process in full compliance with the law, with the goal of stripping them of a right to a court hearing and subjecting them to “expedited removal” instead,” Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council wrote on X in response. “This data proves that ICE and DHS are in fact NOT focusing on people with criminal records. It’s the opposite; they’re deprioritizing people with records.”

 

https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/politics/insurrection-trump-los-angeles-analysis

excerpt:

"While Trump and his allies balked at people labeling January 6 an insurrection, there’s little doubt that it met the definition. That word is generally defined as a violent revolt or rebellion against the government. The attack on the US Capitol was a violent attempt to effectively change the makeup of that government by overturning the election result – and by attacking an actual seat of power."

 

Trump's broad definition of 'insurrection' looms over Los Angeles

excerpt:

"The president again used the term on Monday, telling reporters upon his return to the White House that the “people that are causing the problem are professional agitators” before going on to call them “insurrectionists.” Hours later, he appeared to soften his tone again, saying “I wouldn’t call it quite an insurrection, but it could have led to an insurrection.”

Top White House adviser Stephen Miller has been calling the situation in Los Angeles an insurrection for days."

excerpt:

"The location of the raids and subsequent protests – a liberal-leaning city in a state controlled by Democrats – also gave the White House an ideal public foil as it seeks to show progress on removing illegal immigrants and instilling law and order."
