The Donald Trump Score Card

That one time in 2018 you mean

 

That's a difficult development for Trump and his enthusiast to swallow considering that Putin is Trump's buddy, how Trump and his following have dismissed the usefulness of face coverings, and how they have dismissed the reality of the coronavirus surge in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world.

 

Trump and his following will try to concoct a way to dismiss it.

 

That was a weird post.

First you acknowledge government health advice was rubbish, then say they technically they worked for Trump, then claim there are 'neutral' experts in same government whose rubbish advice Trump should have listened to


Things Trump was actually more right about than the experts:

-The China Travel ban, in effect 31st January, Fauci on 26th January said there's no reason to panic, Pelosi was hugging strangers in Chinatown

- It didn't disappear in the warmer weather, but the mortality rate certainly did plummet, which is far more correct than Fauci saying nothing, too scared to commit to any comment on seasonal variations

- If we do get the Pfizer vaccine by the end of the year, Trump's prediction on that will be more accurate than Fauci's, who in May this year said not until April 2021. China has been using a vaccine since July

Trump is Trump, but in comparison all medical "experts' on a government payroll the world over have been totally useless, with shitty advice; which is why we get to October 23rd and almost 1/2 million infections in just one day, even after all the lockdowns and ten months of wear masks but don't bother with eye protection nonsense

 

How many of those 70,000 new cases a day had been wearing masks?



Anyone? Anyone?

 

Why don't you tell us... I'm sure you know the exact number.

 

New York has still been averaging 1500 new cases a day for the past month by the way

 

Exactly how many were wearing masks?

asking for a friend.

 

And on October 24th Illinois broke its own record for number of new cases in one day (6161)

You won't read that on CNN though

 

All of them, they are good little democrats in a blue state that do what they are told

 

Proof?

 

The daily coronavirus death toll in the U.S. exceeded a thousand on October 27.

The death rate has been rising gradually in the month of October toward the thousand per day mark. It's lagging the increase in cases similar to the pattern observed during the summer surge.

The hospitalizations and morbidity have already risen significantly during the autumn surge.

 

Instead of chanting to lock up the people plotting to kidnap the MI governor, Trump's rallygoers chanted to lock up the governor.

Trump questioned whether the kidnapping plot was real.

Trump suggests alleged Whitmer plot ‘maybe’ wasn’t a problem

excerpt:

"The Muskegon "lock her up" chant came less than two weeks after authorities revealed an alleged plot to kidnap the Democratic governor, who resides in Lansing.

Whitmer responded to the chant on Twitter: "This is exactly the rhetoric that has put me, my family, and other government officials’ lives in danger while we try to save the lives of our fellow Americans. It needs to stop."

In Lansing on Tuesday, Trump noted that his appointees — the U.S. attorneys for Detroit and Grand Rapids — filed the charges against six of the 14 defendants who are accused in the alleged kidnapping scheme. But the president seemed to question the strength of the cases.

“It was our people that helped her out with her problem," the president said. "We’ll have to see if it’s a problem, right? People are entitled to say maybe it was a problem, maybe it wasn’t.”"

 

Trump tells MI housewives that he'll put their husbands back to work.

Trump apparently had $270 million of a loan forgiven.


New York Times: Tax records show Trump had over $270 million in debt forgiven after failing to repay lenders - CNNPolitics

"Trump, according to the newspaper, charged that Deutsche had engaged in "predatory lending practices." The bank responded with its own lawsuit demanding repayment of the loan.

In July 2010, Deutsche Bank, Fortress and Trump reached a private settlement without disclosing the terms, the Times reported. But Trump's federal tax returns and a loan document show that he had about $270 million in debt from the project forgiven.

The new details gleaned from the President's tax records build on previous New York Times reports that detailed how Trump paid no federal income taxes whatsoever in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000 because he reported losing significantly more than he made."

 

More than half the total number of people who voted in 2016 have already voted in 2020.

News reports have said that the percentage of undecided voters in 2020 is about half of what it was in 2016.

It gives little leeway for a candidate to alter the outcome of the election between now and the election.



2020 Election Live Updates: A Week Before Election Day, More Than Half the 2016 Vote Is Already In

excerptL

"The early vote is even more dramatic in a number of key battleground states, including several that polls have suggested are unusually close this year. Texas has already received nearly 87 percent of the votes it counted in the 2016 election, Florida has already received more than two-thirds, North Carolina has received 72 percent and Georgia 71 percent. Wisconsin and Michigan are both approaching the halfway mark.

“The numbers are stunning,” Michael P. McDonald, a professor of political science at the University of Florida who gathers the data for the elections project, wrote in a recent analysis for the United States Elections Project, which tracks the early vote closely."

 

Many of those votes occurred during early voting the past month when Trump shot himself in the foot with his coronavirus debacles, which likely cost him votes of older and pragmatic-minded people.

 

The optics-driven but myopic Trump just couldn't resist doing the Rose Garden Massacre that he thought would garner votes.

The event was mishandled to an extreme. Moreover, the entire event was avoidable and unnecessary.

 

Don't hold your breath.
