The Donald Trump Score Card

Survey shows 79% voter support for Harris.


New poll finds overwhelming support for Kamala Harris among Democratic voters

 

Trump's metric is how much someone personally likes him.

Trump says eyeliner Vance likes him now.


'This is cringe!': Trump mocked after saying J.D. Vance was originally 'not for me'

excerpt:

"And originally, J.D. was probably not for me but he didn’t know me. And then, when we got to know each other, he liked me. Maybe, more than anybody liked me."

 

Vance boot-licked Trump at the convention.


Suddenly Trump Looks Older and More Deranged

excerpt:

"The vice-presidential nominee, J. D. Vance, who had previously compared Trump to Hitler and described him as “cultural heroin,” performed a kind of kowtow, appearing at the convention in the form of supplicant, acolyte, prodigal son. Like so many other Republicans, he bowed to the power of Trump, to the vulgarity of Hulk Hogan, to a whole host of things he used to say he didn’t like, and maybe still doesn’t like. He even made a peculiar, strained attempt to link his children and his wife, the daughter of South Asian immigrants, to a cemetery in East Kentucky where he said they will be buried, as if none of this will make sense until all of us are dead."

 

The shallow bluster of Trump.


Suddenly Trump Looks Older and More Deranged

excerpt:

"Remember, if you still can: The Republican convention was a carefully curated, meticulously planned presentation. As my colleague Tim Alberta has said, the theme was “strength.” Strength was expressed by exaggerated, absurd, comic-book figures: Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock. The latter chanted “Fight, fight!” and “Trump, Trump!” while pumping his fist. Then he sang “American Bad Ass,” an unlistenable work of profound dissonance. Trump himself walked into the convention hall to the strains of James Brown’s famously misogynistic anthem “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World.”"

 

Gaetz did an event with Rittenhouse.


J.D. Vance Has a Problem on His Face

excerpt:

"It was there that Matt Gaetz hosted a campaign event with Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen vigilante who was acquitted on grounds of self-defense after he killed two people during the 2020 Kenosha riots. Because in MAGA America, any friend of the devil is a friend of theirs.

As they awaited the gentlemen of honor, hundreds of true believers packed the parking lot, braving the 95-degree heat baking the concrete as they sifted through the various totems of their movement in what could be best described as a MAGA Shakedown Street. A pre-teen boy’s parents purchased him a tank top that read I’M VOTING FOR THE FELON with Trump’s mugshot emblazoned across the torso. A boomer walked behind them in a shirt featuring the same picture with WANTED FOR PRESIDENT flanking Trump’s grimace. There were more MAGA attitude shirts where that came from. So, so, SO many more.

“White, Christian, Straight, and Republican.”

“I want mean tweets, cheap gas, and sleepy Joe to kiss my ass.”

And in honor of our host: “Be Offended: Gaetz 2024.”"

 

J.D. Vance Has a Problem on His Face

excerpt:

"The substance of Gaetz and Rittenhouse’s remarks offered much for those of us in the big middle to fret over: airhorn attacks on how DEI is a modern “slave ship” to an audience that, to my eye, contained a lone black person. Mockery of Republicans who prefer a bipartisan approach as “Democrats in Drag.” A radical pro-gun agenda including calls for “open carry,” loosening background checks, repealing red-flag laws, and legalizing all weapon purchases for 18-year-olds. (Rittenhouse is not, in this crowd, what one calls a cautionary tale.) "

 

Trump says Vance looks like a young Abe Lincoln.

Burgum might have actually defended the Constitutional a little, like Pence did on Jan. 6..

Vance is total Trump and MAGA.


J.D. Vance Has a Problem on His Face

excerpt:

"The fact that Vance’s facial hair has become a thing is both trivial and significant because it indicates that Trump is, to a large degree, partial towards the political newcomer. Trump has a close and friendly relationship with Vance as well as Burgum. But Burgum is sometimes a bit too wonky and loquacious for the ex-president, who likes to (for lack of a better verb) bro out with the boys and do the talking. And North Dakota Trump supporters recently began taking aim at their governor for being insufficiently MAGA."

 

Rep. Glyde of GA seems to have been the ringleader who distributed the AR-15 pins for the GOP members of Congress to wear.


Why Some Congress Members Are Wearing AR-15 Pins

excerpt:

"Clyde Armory sells a wide array of semi-automatic rifles, including many AR-15 variants. The Congressman’s stake in the company is worth up to $25 million, according to his 2021 federal financial disclosure."

 

GOP members can now wear a fake bandage over their ear and an AR-15 lapel pin to honor Trump who was nearly assassinated by an AR-15.

 

Trump hasn't been doing his usual intro to his rallies that plays the J6 prisoner choir singing its perverted version of the National Anthem while he stands and salutes them.

His handlers seem to have toned down his rhetoric for post-convention rallies.

Trump says he doesn't know anything about Project 2025 and that he doesn't want to know.

Project 2025 is Trump's manifesto. He should be praising it.


https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/11/politics/trump-allies-project-2025/index.html

excerpt:

"In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch.

Dozens more who staffed Trump’s government hold positions with conservative groups advising Project 2025, including his former chief of staff Mark Meadows and longtime adviser Stephen Miller. These groups also include several lawyers deeply involved in Trump’s attempts to remain in power, such as his impeachment attorney Jay Sekulow and two of the legal architects of his failed bid to overturn the 2020 presidential election, Cleta Mitchell and John Eastman."

 

Mark Zuckerberg Sucks Up to Trump After He Threatened to Jail Him

excerpt:

"Trump has previously said he didn’t appreciate Zuckerberg sucking up to him. “Last week, the weirdo—he’s a weirdo—Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, kissed my ass all night,” Trump said at a rally in 2022.

As Trump and Elon Musk continue to cozy up, perhaps frenemy Zuckerberg doesn’t want to be left out of the action. Or perhaps he’s just trying to save himself from getting thrown in jail."

 

That's equivalent to Trump saying, "Who's Trump? I don't know him and I don't want to know him."

 

Project 2025 should be called the Trump MAGAfesto.

 

The way he's been praising Trump since the assassination attempt, he could be called Suckerberg.

Trump and his supporters have referred to him as Zuckerbucks because they were upset that he donated money to help implement elections.

If Zuckerberg ends up doing what Elon Musk did and endorses Trump and gives him money, Trump will do an about-face like he did with Vance and will be praising him.

 

It's Time We Have A Serious Talk About Donald Trump's Cognitive Decline

excerpt:

"During one heartbreaking moment, Trump stopped talking for a full minute while the usual eerie music favored by an unhinged conspiracy group called QAnon played in the background. He sweatily moved his head back and forth and randomly pointed at people, appearing to not know exactly what he was doing.

At one point during Tuesday’s rally, Trump said tourists who go to Washington, D.C., and visit the Jefferson Memorial or the Washington Monument “end up getting shot, mugged, raped.” It was troubling to see a man hoping to become president again act so confused. Violent crime in the District of Columbia is down more than 20% this year, as crime nationwide has plummeted.

Trump’s delusions continued as he incorrectly identified America as “a Third World nation,” babbled confusingly about the fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter and then very freely said, without a hint of irony, “We are a nation where free speech is no longer allowed.”"

 

It's Time We Have A Serious Talk About Donald Trump's Cognitive Decline

excerpt:

"Remember when Trump famously said in 2016 that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and he still wouldn’t “lose any voters?” Well, he could also probably stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue in an open hospital gown screaming at traffic about sentient voting machines from Skynet changing Trump votes to Biden votes while zombie voters rose from the dead to rig the election while he works hard to inject Lysol in everyone’s veins to kill COVID before the cancer-causing windmills get them—and the MAGA electorate would still have his back.

Biden never had the same luxury with his constituents–or even his party–so, again, it’s just the audience that’s different."

 

Cheatle has resigned after being grilled.

 

Trump sounds like he's trying to weasel out of a second debate in September against what would have been Biden but is now Harris.


https://www.salon.com/2024/07/23/tr...ith-kamala-harris-now-says-abc-is-not-worthy/

excerpt:

“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business. They then tried to make ‘Sleepy’ look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not,” Trump wrote on his website, Truth Social. “ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, is not worthy of holding a Debate, of which I hope there will be many!”

 

Trump sued Stephanopoulos for defamation in March 2024.
