The Donald Trump Score Card

excerpt:

"Elon Musk had hoped to hire a non-U.S. citizen to work at his Department of Government Efficiency — but Trump’s advisers wouldn’t let him, according to a report.

In just a matter of weeks, Musk, as the head of the non-governmental agency DOGE, has already taken steps to disrupt the federal government, making moves to shutter the U.S. Agency for International Development, accessing the Treasury Department’s payment systems, and vowing to use his agency as a “wood chipper for bureaucracy.”"

But the Trump-supporting farmers still admire such rash, damaging maneuvers because Trump did it to them.

excerpt:

"The administration initially moved to pour out even more water from the dams, a gush that Hernandez, the local water manager, said could have flooded farms, maintenance equipment and potentially homeless encampments near the river. He said he only got a one-hour heads up from the Army Corps of Engineers, the agency that manages the dams for flood control, and scrambled to alert downstream farmers."

 

Protests against Musk.

If Trump were to talk about drug addiction deaths the way he talked about Covid, he'd be saying phrases like:


'It's just a couple of fentanyl pills coming in from China and then there will be none'.

'The addiction can be cured easily by injecting oneself with chlorine'.

'Hydroxychloroquine will end the addiction'.

'We have the addiction pandemic totally under control'.

“The addiction is going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”

 

Has Elon Musk employed 19-year-olds for DOGE? Donald Trump reacts... - The Times of India

excerpts:

At a press conference Tuesday, Donald Trump was asked about the age of Elon Musk's aides as they are as young as 19 years. "That's good," Trump said. "Some are young and some are not young. Some are not young at all. But they found great things," Trump said. "No, I haven't seen them," Trump said when asked if he's met Musk's aides. "They work, actually, out of the White House. They're smart people, unlike what they do in the control towers, where we need smart people. We should use some of them in the control towers, where we were putting people that were actually intellectually deficient."


"According to reports, Edward Coristine is the youngest on Elon Musk's team and he is 19. The others are Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, Luke Farritor 23. They have been granted A-suite-level clearance for their work."

 

"Yay! Hannibal Lecter!"

"He squandered the water we needed for our farm irrigation!"

"He's both good and bad at the same time!"

The demise of the American farmer is nauseating.

They were once pragmatic and proud to be self-sufficient.

Now they ride piggyback on autocrat Trump and praise him for giving them welfware checks to try to mitigate the damage he did to them (that they also applaud).

 

The video discusses Trump's perceived 'victories' over Canada and Mexico that didn't happen.

Trump actually lost to Mexico by giving concessions. Trump agreed that the U.S. will try to mitigate illegal gun transfers from the U.S. into Mexico.

Trump didn't gain anything in Canada other than the thrill for him of being told that Canada will assign a 'border czar'.

Canada and Mexico have already been implementing the migrant and drug programs that Trump now says he wants.

But Trump can claim he made brilliant victories, like he did when he said he 'won' the 'water wars' in California after he had federal officials open dams and waste billions of gallons of water that did nothing to stop fires in LA and that was needed by farmers for an upcoming summer season that is predicted to be dry after a dry winter. It will probably raise food prices that he promised to lower for his forgotten people (the ones he's forgotten while proposing ethnic cleansing and building of elite riverias in Gaza).

 

Trump's supporters thought many things about Trump and were wrong.

Trump is boasting he will provide great housing and great jobs for............Gaza.

Make Gaza Great Again.

Trump supporters are praising him about wanting to make the Gaza strip a Trump resort. They are posting pics on the web that rename Gaza the 'MAGA Strip'.

 

Cassidy is a proponent of vaccinations and yet he voted to send RFK to a full Senate floor vote for confirmation.

He's yet another person who had seemed semi-rational about at least some aspects of life but, like so many others, ended up going off the deep end in support of RFK Jr. and Trump.

 

The shambles Trump is making of the U.S. is creating an opportune time for the U.S. to be attacked by adversaries (in addition to Trump).

More aircraft accidents can be anticipated. Trump is sowing confusion and mistrust in various government agencies and said at a press gathering that he thinks 19 year olds like Musk is using to dismantle the government should be running air traffic control towers that he thinks are compromised by diversity.

 

Trump wants to do his rendition of Andrew Jackson's Trail Of Tears.

 

China has implemented such a preparatory system. Countries around the world need it. They also need to set up a consortium that organizes them to work together as a rapid response team against Trump every time he starts trouble.

Military pilots are using congested civilian air space to practice moving politicians safely through DC through congested air space in the event of an emergency.

They need a system to safely move politicians, like Trump who's dismantling the ability of their system to do it (for example, by Trump saying at a press gathering that 19-year-olds hired by Musk's DOGE would be better air traffic controllers and offering air traffic controller buyouts to quit their jobs).


Before D.C. Plane Crash, Army Helicopter Was Flying 100 Feet Too High and Twice Warned About Passenger Jet: Officials

excerpt:

Pilots “need to be able to understand the environment, the air traffic, the routes, to ensure the safe travel of our senior leaders throughout our government,” he added, per CNN.

 

Before D.C. Plane Crash, Army Helicopter Was Flying 100 Feet Too High and Twice Warned About Passenger Jet: Officials

excerpt:

In a briefing on Saturday, Feb. 1, officials from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) told reporters that the Black Hawk helicopter crashed into the plane between 300 feet and 350 feet above the ground, meaning it was flying more than 100 feet higher than it was authorized.

However, the authorities said, there was also a more preliminary indication that — for some reason still being examined — the helicopter may have registered to air traffic control as being at only about 200 feet, though more reliable data shows the passenger jet was at a higher altitude when it was hit.

Officials said they expected more information soon, to narrow down the helicopter's movement through the air."

 

Trump's delay of his new proposed tariffs against Mexico and Canada won't be just 30 days of uncertaintly. It will continue through Trumps' second term, putting doubts in businesses and investors that will hamper the economy.

Canada is taking steps to find more reliable trading partners and to purchase its goods and services domestically instead of from the U.S., the opposite of what Trump wants. China has such a system in place.


Trump's trade war with neighbours is delayed - what did they all get out of it?

excerpt:

"But it remains unclear whether Trump will follow through on his threats to Canada and Mexico once the 30-day deadline is up. That uncertainly stirs fears that could see businesses reducing their reliance on American markets, holding off on investing in building new factories or hiring workers until the trade stand-off becomes more clear."

excerpt:

"And at least one representative from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, gained access to NOAA’s IT systems this week, according to three people familiar with the situation, with the goal of sniffing out activity and employees connected to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

“They’re searching high and low for DEI,” a source familiar with the situation said."

 

Trump is 'angry' that deportation numbers are not higher

excerpt:

"In order to fulfill Trump’s Inauguration Day promise of “millions and millions” of deportations, the Trump administration would have to be deporting over 2,700 immigrants every day to reach 1 million in a year."
