The Donald Trump Score Card

Same difference...

 

Truthfully, did we ever expect anything different? Oh, and Ukraine saying "oh, the USA is creating a panic"...uh, folks, we see the satellite photos - they're going to run tanks through just like 1941.

 

When Ingraham of Fox told Trump about an amphibious landing in Ukraine, Trump thought it was U.S. troops landing.

excerpt:

“No, those are the Russian — the Russian amphibious landing,” Ingraham said.

“Oh, I thought you said we were sending people in,” Trump said.

“No, I did not. No, no. No, no, no,” Ingraham replied. “That would be news.”

 

Biden inherited a mess from the trump administration so I don’t understand what you want him to do.

excerpt:

"This is hardly the first instance of Trump’s being out of the loop on such a major issue. It cropped up repeatedly, early in the coronavirus pandemic. He repeatedly showed a lack of interest in the basics of how Congress works. Trump has even previously displayed unfamiliarity with key issues regarding Russia — for instance, when he misunderstood Vladimir Putin’s comment about Western-style liberalism being “obsolete” to refer to left-leaning politicians in the Western United States."

 

Proof that trump doesn’t know wtf is going on.

 

Trump hears scraps of words about major events overseas and uses them ignorantly to bash groups he doesn't like in the U.S.

He's doing it again with Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Analysis | Trump’s apparent ignorance of basic political terms is on full display overseas

excerpt:

"Democratic liberalism, of course, does not refer to the western United States, but rather the Western world — which generally includes the United States and much of Europe. And liberalism is a political theory that values the freedom of the individual. That term has come to be associated with left-leaning American politicians and political activists, but some right-leaning political thinkers still claim the term as their own.

Broadly speaking, democratic liberalism has been the leading political ideology across the western world since World War II. Of late, though, populist movements across Europe have gained power, leading to questions about how long liberal democracies can survive. Putin’s comments were clearly about that, but Trump doesn’t appear to have processed this very significant development on the world stage."

 

We need to sanction Putin personally.

 

Analysis: Why Donald Trump can't stop praising Vladimir Putin - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"So, why is Trump praising Putin? For Trump, everything -- and I mean everything -- is transactional. There is no right or wrong. There's only, can you do this thing or not, and what does it get you versus what does it cost you. In Trump's worldview, might makes right. If you can take something, you should. Being perceived as strong -- in your own country and in the world -- is all that matters.

We saw that sentiment play out many times during Trump's presidency.

Earlier this year when he endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for reelection, Trump praised him for doing a "powerful and wonderful job in protecting Hungary" and touted him as a "strong leader."

Of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump has said: "I like President Xi a lot. I consider him a friend, and -- but I like him a lot. I've gotten to know him very well. He's a strong gentleman, right? Anybody that -- he's a strong guy, tough guy."

Of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trump offered this: "President Erdogan: He's tough, but I get along with him."

And Trump has also praised Putin in the past for the iron grip with which he rules. "The man has very strong control over a country," Trump said of the Russian President in 2016. "Now, it's a very different system and I don't happen to like the system, but certainly in that system, he's been a leader. Far more than our president has been a leader."

Trump's attraction to authoritarian rulers then is well established. He likes the idea that they do what they want when they want -- and damn the naysayers who question them."

 

MIke Lee of Utah made a sick-minded statement about Trump.


Hard pivot toward Trump proves costly for red-state ally

excerpt:

“To my Mormon friends, my Latter-day Saint friends, think of him as Captain Moroni,” Lee yelled, comparing Trump to a prophet in the Book of Mormon. He continued by paraphrasing the religion’s scripture, but in reference to Trump: “He seeks not power, but to pull it down. He seeks not the praise of the world or the fake news, but he seeks the well-being and the peace of the American people.”

To many Latter-day Saints, it was an unforgivable blunder. Previously, Lee had undertaken a weekslong slugfest against a church-owned news organization and quoted a Latter-day Saint hymn to justify his opposition to a Covid-19 relief bill.

But comparing Trump — the same man who privately mocked Latter-day Saint underwear — to a holy prophet was a step too far. Between January 2021 and January 2022, Lee’s support among Latter-day Saints dropped by eight percentage points, according to Deseret News/Hinckley Institute polls."

 

Trump mistakenly called Mike Lee during his riot at the Capitol when he was trying to reach Tommy Tuberville.

Senator Mike Lee made a frantic, vague accusations about supposed inaccuracy regarding the call he received from Trump during the riot.

excerpt:

"Sen. Mike Lee seems more scared that the quote attributed to him, which seems very critical of Trump, than he was of the mob that nearly killed a couple of his colleagues."

 

Putin says he wants to de-Nazify Ukraine.


Ukraine conflict: What we know about the invasion

excerpt:

"Mr Putin said Russia was intervening as an act of self-defence. Russia did not want to occupy Ukraine, he said, but would demilitarise and "de-Nazify" the country."

 

Russia double-speak

 

Sounds like bribery or blackmail to me.

 

Or threat of violence...

 

or planted trump lovers.

 

The charges that the NY AG has will convict him.

 

mmmmmm--Maybe. Should---but maybe.
