The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump has been indicted again.

Trump has been charged in a superceding indictment following the Supreme Court immunity ruling.

The grand jury was different than the first one. The new grand jury indicted Trump even though Jack Smith edited down the indictment to remove remarks that involved Trump acting under his official capacity (a term used by the Supreme Court in its immunity ruling but one that it didn't define)..


Trump charged in superseding indictment in election interference case following SCOTUS ruling

excerpt:

"In multiple places, Smith's new indictment adds clarifying language to state when he believes Trump was clearly acting outside of his official duties, saying, for instance, that Trump "had no official responsibilities related to any state's certification of the election results" and highlighting when Trump was allegedly acting "not as President but in his capacity as a candidate for office."

The superseding indictment also removes key allegations about Trump’s refusal to act as rioters stormed the Capitol.

The new indictment no longer includes allegations that Trump refused advisers’ requests to send a message calling off rioters and that Trump later refused to withdraw his objections to the certification despite the plea of his White House counsel."

 

Trump is upset about the superseding indictment. He thinks it's a violation of DOJ policy to not start an investigation until after the election.

The superseding indictment is for the same federal election subversion case. It's not a new investigation. Trump wants to make it seem that way so that he can say it's a violation of DOJ practice.

excerpt:

"Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60."

 

American consumers paid for Trump's tariff wars with higher prices.

They also paid for it indirectly with their tax money that Trump used to try to undo the damage he inflicted on farmers and other groups, such as subsidies and direct government payments (welfare) that went disproportionately to particular groups of farmers.


American Consumers, Not China, Are Paying for Trump’s Tariffs (Published 2020)

excerpt:

"Examining the fallout of tariffs in data through October, the authors found that Americans had continued paying for the levies — which increased substantially over the course of the year. Their paper, which is an update on previous research, found that “approximately 100 percent” of import taxes fell on American buyers.

The findings are the latest evidence that voters and American businesses are paying the cost of Mr. Trump’s penchant for using tariffs to try to rewrite the terms of trade in favor of the United States."

 

U.S. consumers ultimately pay the price for Trump's trade wars, not foreigners.


American Consumers, Not China, Are Paying for Trump’s Tariffs (Published 2020)

excerpt:

"The Trump administration aimed to offset those losses by offering financial support for farmers, ultimately giving out $23 billion in 2018 and 2019. But those funds were distributed unevenly, a government assessment found, and the economists say those subsidies only partially mitigated the harm that had been caused by the tariffs."

excerpt:

"The findings contradict Mr. Trump’s claims that his tariffs helped to reverse some of the damage done by competition from China and bring back American manufacturing jobs that had gone overseas. The economists conclude that the aggregate effect on U.S. jobs of the three measures — the original tariffs, retaliatory tariffs and subsidies granted to farmers — were “at best a wash, and it may have been mildly negative.”

“Certainly you can reject the hypothesis that this tariff policy was very successful at bringing back jobs to those industries that got a lot of exposure to that tariff war,” one of the study authors, David Dorn of the University of Zurich, said in an interview."

 

Voters think Trump brought back overseas jobs to the U.S. even though data shows it didn't happen.

Trump is now pretending to be an advocate for women's rights after he took away their federal protection for reproductive rights by his Supreme Court picks who overturned Roe v. Wade.

excerpt:

"Donald Trump attempted to strike a new tone on the issue of abortion this week, saying he would be “great for women and their reproductive rights” — to the frustration of anti-abortion advocates."

An old news clip shows a person from a news group taking video of a car sliding down an icy hill and going over a cliff and watching it crash. After the crash, the videographer tried to make it sound like he was a good Samaritan by telling the victim couple who survived injured that he was calling 911. The wife of the victim had blood on her face. The husband came up to the videographer and appeared to punch him in the face for not reporting a dangerous situation to the police and instead recording video of it to make money.

 

Trump's speech in PA this week was 1 hr 45 min.

 

The coal miners and farmers will keep voting for Trump. He has them well conditioned into believing he's their savior.

A documentary from the 70's detailed a fraudster who would trick people into believing he had psychic powers. He would use magic tricks to convince them. One of his tricks was to use his breath to make things look supernatural. He would due breathe pulses that made it seem that someone who wasn't there tapped them on the shoulder. Another trick was to use a glass box with an item inside that he could move by using his breath to blow air into an unseen gap at the bottom of the box. It looked like he had psychokinetic powers.

He ended up in prison for fraud for cheating people out of their money.

Trump does it on a national scale.

 

“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign."
Am Arlington National Cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside. According to the Trump Campaign's professional liar; "...for whatever reason an unnamed individual, clearly suffering from a mental health episode, decided to physically block members of President Trump's team."

From behind! Must have made her feel really uncomfortable.

 

Despicable

 

The photo-op is part of Trump's attempt to make a 'Benghazi' for Harris like he did for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

This week is the anniversary of the 2021 terror bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport that killed 13 U.S. troops. Trump is doing a photo-op at Arlington as part of his campaign rhetoric.

Trump will break any rule and desecrate a sacred place for his own benefit.

As Archie Bunker once said, 'We're gonna raise that boy Christian if we have to break every Commandment in the Bible to do it.'
