The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos for defamation. Here's what to know about his claim.

excerpt:

"In order to prove defamation of a public figure, Trump must prove not just that the statement was incorrect, but that Stephanopoulos met the heightened standard of actual malice, showing that he had knowledge the statements were false or acted with reckless disregard of whether they were false or not. Trump has to prove actual malice by "clear and convincing evidence." He also must show that Stephanopoulos harmed his reputation."

 

Reimbursed by whom?

Trump sounds like he's itching to file another one of his lawsuits against a person or group.

He's still involved in a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize committee that he misstates as being the 'Nobel Prize' committee that he misspells as 'Noble'.. He said he wants journalists to return their 'Noble' prizes.

excerpt:

"Since Biden’s announcement, Harris’ campaign has raised over $81 million in donations. As support and momentum for her candidacy grew on Monday, Trump complained that his campaign had wasted time and money fighting Biden and accused Democrats of knowing that Harris would be their candidate all along.

“Shouldn’t the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe, including his doctors and the Fake News Media, knew he was not capable of running for, or being, President?” he wrote on Truth Social."

Trump didn't have the facts straight.


Trump Dragged for Latest Anti-Media Rant: Sorry, There Are No 'Noble' Prizes for Journalism

excerpt:

“When will all of the ‘reporters’ who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished ‘Nobles’ so that they can be given to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right,” Trump wrote in a series of tweets that were taken down after several hours.

 

Candace Owens featured at upcoming Trump campaign fundraiser

excerpt:

"Donald Trump Jr. is set to headline a Trump campaign fundraiser on Friday in Nashville, Tenn., that will feature Candace Owens, the far-right pundit who has frequently advanced antisemitic commentary.

Owens, a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump, has in recent months amplified the ancient blood libel against Jews, downplayed the Holocaust and defended Nick Fuentes, a prominent white nationalist, among other incendiary remarks.

In March, the 34-year-old conspiracy theorist parted ways with Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire — where she had served as a weekday host — amid mounting tensions over her increasingly antisemitic rhetoric and fierce criticism of Israel in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks."

 

Ohio state senator, Lang, says he's regretful of saying a civil war would be needed if Trump loses in 2024.

excerpt:

“I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” Lang said. “It’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind, and if we come down to a civil war, I’m glad we got people like … Bikers for Trump on our side.”

 

Wisconsin man charged with fleeing to Ireland to avoid prison term for Capitol riot role

excerpt:

"A Wisconsin man fled to Ireland and sought asylum to avoid a prison sentence for joining a mob's attack on the U.S. Capitol over three years ago, federal authorities allege in a court filing Tuesday.

The filing charges Paul Kovacik with defying a court order to surrender and serve three months behind bars for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

Kovacik, 56, was arrested last month after he voluntarily returned to the U.S. from Ireland. Kovacik is serving his sentence at a federal prison in Chicago and is scheduled to be released from prison on Sept. 8. But a conviction on the new misdemeanor charge could lead to more time behind bars."

 

Jan. 6 rioters, supporters work to rewrite history of the attack on the Capitol

excerpt:

"The vigil, ABC News found, is just one example of a vast network of people seeking to paint January 6 defendants as wrongfully convicted. The movement has shifted from the fringes of the Republican Party in the immediate wake of the Capitol attack, to the mainstream with Trump and other Republican notables echoing the messaging.

For example, ABC News found at least seven convicted Capitol rioters ran for Congress in 2024. Roughly half have already lost their primaries or dropped out.

One of them is Derrick Evans, a former West Virginia House of Delegates member, who served three months in federal prison for his involvement in Jan. 6 and says he doesn't feel shame for his actions."

 

History of AR-15, the gun used to shoot Trump.


From military weapon to cultural symbol: how the AR-15 has defined the US gun debate

 

Trump has already made all those remarks at his rallies.

His followers would love him even more if he screamed all of it while standing naked in the middle of Fifth Avenue while someone took pot shots at him, and they would proudly say he's taking pot shots for democracy.

excerpt:

"In the latest New York Times/Siena College poll for Pennsylvania and Virginia, Kamala Harris edged out Joe Biden by 2 points among likely voters in both states. However, the most striking contrast appears in an NBC poll, where Harris shines brightly. The Vice President, known for her Indian heritage, has made a notable impact among Black voters, leading Trump by a staggering 64 points (78% to 14%), compared to Biden’s 57-point lead (69% to 12%)"

 

After the first presidential debate, Trump went unusually quiet. His handlers had him playing golf every day for a couple weeks so that he wouldn't jump on Biden excessively and potentially cause him to exit the race.

They wanted Biden to be humiliated but not quite humiliated enough to depart the race.

At his rally just before Biden exited the race, Trump asked his attendees if they'd rather see him run against Biden or Harris. They cheered when he said Biden and booed when he said Harris.

 

Bannon will face trial in NY in December 2024 on state charges for his 'We Build The Wall' fraud scheme.

Trump pardoned Bannon of federal charges for the 'We Build The Wall scheme'. It was one of Trump's final acts as president on Jan. 20, 2021 hours before he left office.

Bannon is currently serving a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress. He refused to answer questions about his knowledge about Trump's involvement in trying to steal the 2020 election from the American people.

Trump is taking action against Harris to try to stop her from using campaign money.


Trump files complaint against Harris for taking over Biden’s campaign funds

excerpt:

"Donald Trump’s campaign on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission against the vice-president Kamala Harris, accusing her 2024 campaign of violating federal campaign finance laws by replacing Joe Biden’s name with her own to take control of his campaign funds.

The complaint, filed by the Trump campaign’s general counsel, David Warrington, argued that the Biden campaign could not rename its committee from “Biden for President” to “Harris for President” once Biden dropped out of the race on Sunday, and roll over $91m."

 

Sources say Trump plans to stop holding outdoor rallies after assassination attempt.


Trump plans to stop holding outdoor rallies after assassination attempt

 

Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015.

His caustic mouth spanned nine years before an incident happened to him.

In today's era of mass shootings and the GOP promoting the AR-15 to the extent of wearing emblems of it, that was a long run of luck for Trump.

 

The dems would just roll in another $91M just to stick it to him. Why does he have to litigate every fucking thing?

 

Idiot!!!

 

Trump appeals $454 million civil fraud judgment against him.

Trump blames his accountants.


Trump appeals $454 million New York civil fraud judgment

excerpt:

"Engoron in February issued a scathing ruling against Trump and his company, in which he wrote that Trump and other defendants' "complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological."

"They are accused only of inflating asset values to make more money. The documents prove this over and over again."

Trump testified during the trial, claiming that if valuations of his properties or wealth were mistaken, it was because they were in fact undervalued. He also blamed his accountants for misleading financial statements at the center of the case."

 

The assassination attempt made Trump even worse.


Yes, the Assassination Attempt Changed Trump. It Made Him Even Worse

 

Trump spent his term calling the fed chairman, Powell, nasty names to try to convince him to lower interest rates to zero.
