The Donald Trump Score Card

Donald Trump’s Military Birthday Parade Was a Gross Failure

excerpt:

"Though rock music blared on TV, the parade itself was eerily quiet. One video posted on X shows tanks squeaking past nearly silent crowds, sounding like a grocery cart in need of grease."

 

Donald Trump’s Military Birthday Parade Was a Gross Failure

excerpt:

"The military parade was overseen by the American commander-in-chief as he conducts a militarized crackdown on immigrants in Los Angeles, California, driving protests. He sent in National Guard troops and Marines not because their presence is necessary to keep the peace, but as a show of force — and as a test run for operations in other states and cities, should the president feel angry enough to launch them, likely illegally."

 

California has one of the best state economies, making it a prime target for Trump to wreck so that he can say he fixed it.

Poll: Americans disapprove of Trump's performance as Republicans manage splits over spending plans

excerpt:

"A majority (55%) of all adults over 18 years old said they disapprove of the way Trump’s handling his job as president, while 45% approve, unchanged from April’s NBC News Stay Tuned Poll."

 

Missouri governor preemptively activated the National Guard and declared a state of emergency over concerns about possible violence at weekend 'No King' rallies.


Missouri governor activates National Guard, declares state of emergency

excerpt:

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas’ Office shared a statement Thursday regarding the mayor’s concerns about Gov. Kehoe’s decision.

“Mayor Lucas is concerned with enhanced state enforcement for one set of protestors, but no action or aid to local law enforcement when Neo-Nazis march through Missouri’s urban streets,” the statement reads. “The Mayor has confidence in responsible protestors to use their First Amendment rights peacefully and in compliance with the law. More than one thousand Kansas Citians protested peacefully and responsibly just days ago.”

 

Trump’s FAA pick has claimed 'commercial' pilot license he doesn’t have

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration long described himself in his official biography as being certified to fly aircraft commercially — but records examined by POLITICO show that he does not hold any commercial license."

 

‘No Kings’ protesters in Virginia and San Francisco struck by motorists

excerpt:

"Earlier on Saturday, two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, one of whom was killed, were shot in what local officials called a politically motivated attack. The state’s police and governor cautioned people to not attend demonstrations across the state “out of an abundance of caution”.

Minnesota police are still searching for the suspect – whom officials have confirmed is Vance Boelter, 57 – in those shootings, and noted several No Kings protest flyers inside the vehicle."

 

‘No Kings’ protesters in Virginia and San Francisco struck by motorists

excerpt:

"Protesters at “No Kings” events in Culpeper, Virginia, and San Francisco, California, have been struck by motorists, according to local news reports.

The protests are taking place at about 2,000 sites nationwide, from big cities to small towns. A coalition of more than 100 groups planned the protests, which are committed to a principle of nonviolence.

Police in the northern Virginia city of Culpeper identified 21-year-old Joseph R Checklick Jr as the motorist there. No injuries have been reported; police said that they have filed reckless driving charges against Checklick, and that more charges may be filed. Organizers estimated that more than 600 protesters showed up in the town of 21,000."

 

In California, Trump finds his perfect antagonist

excerpt:

"Hollywood. Silicon Valley. An agricultural sector that grows more than three-quarters of fruits and nuts in America. All contributed to April’s news that California had officially overtaken Japan to become the fourth biggest economy in the world, its GDP of $4.1tn trailing only the entirety of the US, China and Germany.

But two months later this superpower is locked in a bitter power struggle with Washington DC. Days of protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles prompted Donald Trump to deploy military forces against what he called “insurrectionists” despite strenuous objections from state and local leaders."

Trump talking like Putin again.

excerpt:

President Donald Trump has renewed his threat of using military force to annex Greenland, saying in an NBC News interview he wouldn’t rule it out to make the self-governing Danish territory a part of the United States.

It’s the latest in Trump’s many comments about seizing control of the resource-rich island, which he insists the US needs for national security purposes.

“I don’t rule it out,” he told NBC News’ Kristen Welker in an interview that aired on Sunday. “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything.”

 

Trump revived an 85-year-old immigration law. It puts undocumented immigrants in a Catch-22.

excerpt:

"In the meantime, the administration has begun to prosecute people for failure to register for the first time in seven decades.

The prosecutions so far have stumbled.

On May 19, a federal magistrate judge in Louisiana consolidated and dismissed five of the criminal cases, saying prosecutors had no probable cause to believe the defendants had intentionally refused to register."

 

Trump revived an 85-year-old immigration law. It puts undocumented immigrants in a Catch-22.

excerpt:

"In reviving the law, the Trump administration may put undocumented immigrants in a catch-22. If they register, they must hand over detailed, incriminating information to the federal government — including how and when they entered the country. But knowingly refusing to register is also a crime, punishable by arrest or prosecution, on top of the ever-present threat of deportation.

“The sort of obvious reason to bring back registration in the first place is the hope that people will register, and therefore give themselves up effectively to the government because they already confessed illegal entry,” said Jonathan Weinberg, a Wayne State University law professor who has studied the registration law."

 

Trump says he might call 'terrible' and 'grossly incompetent' Gov. Walz after the four shootings and two deaths in MN.

Donald Trump’s Military Birthday Parade Was a Gross Failure

excerpt:

"Around 7 p.m., the big screens onstage that displayed the American flags turned to logos for UFC, the mixed martial arts business. Later, the MC thanked “special sponsor Palantir,” a contractor hired to help Trump compile data on Americans across federal agencies.

Military handed out drinks from sponsor Phorm Energy — a new beverage by Anheuser-Busch and UFC CEO Dana White, in the flavor Screamin’ Freedom."

 

Donald Trump’s Military Birthday Parade Was a Gross Failure

excerpt:

“We’re the hottest country in the world right now,” Trump said. “Our country will soon be greater and stronger than ever before.” He said America is “blessed beyond words by this valued legion of army warriors.”

He continued, “No matter the obstacles, our warriors will charge into battle. They will plunge into the crucible of fire, and they will seize the crown of victory, because the United States of America will always have the grace of Almighty God and the iron will of the United States Army.”

 

Says Trump who canceled a visit to a cemetery in France that contained WWI U.S. troops because he didn't want the wind and rain to disrupt his hair.

 

Today marks the tenth anniversary of Trump's announcement on June 16, 2015 that he was running for president.

 

Thanks for the update. Most adults don't watch cartoons, so this is something we would have missed.
