The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump pardons 5 former NFL players for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking

excerpt:

“As football reminds us, excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to rise again. So is our nation,” Johnson wrote on the social media site X, as she thanked Trump for his “continued commitment to second chances.”

 

The solution is to fire RFK Jr.

Trump shouldn't have put him in charge of HHS.

Instead, Trump is trying to find a way of tapdancing around RJK Jr. and his antics that are damaging the Republican party.

Trump Scrambles to Crack Down on RFK Jr. Chaos With Major Overhaul

 

Post by Bret Stephens, New York Times:

“We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.

In every grotesque social media post; in every cabinet meeting devoted, North Korea-like, to adulating him; in every executive-order-signing ceremony intended to make him appear like a Chinese emperor; in every fawning reference to all the peace he’s supposedly brought the world; in every Neronic enlargement of the White House’s East Wing; in every classless dig at his predecessor; in every shady deal his family is striking to enrich itself; in every White House gathering of tech billionaires paying him court (in the literal senses of both “pay” and “court”); in every visiting foreign leader who learns to abase himself to avoid some capricious tariff or other punishment — in all this and more, our standards as a nation are being debased, our manners barbarized.”

 

Trump's statements continue to become increasingly desperate.


Trump says he will issue executive order to get voter-ID requirements before midterms

excerpt:

In his second post on Friday, Trump cast the midterms in existential terms.

"(T)hese Corrupt and Deranged Democrats, if they ever gain power, will not only be adding two States to our roster of 50, with all of the baggage thereto, but will also PACK THE COURT with a total of 21 Supreme Court Justices, THEIR DREAM, which they will submit easily and rapidly when they immediately move to terminate the Filibuster, probably in their first week, or sooner," Trump wrote.

"Our Country will never be the same if they allow these demented and evil people to knowingly, and happily, destroy it. Thank you for your attention to this matter — SAVE AMERICA!," he continued.

Trump says he will issue executive order to get voter-ID requirements before midterms

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump on Friday said he will issue an executive order "shortly" laying out the "legal reasons" for national voter-identification requirements.

Trump, in posts late Friday to Truth Social, said he wants voter-ID laws implemented for the 2026 midterm elections, even though legislation mandating them appears poised to stall in Congress."

 

King Donald is issuing a decree to make the elections the way he wants them.

 

Trump was appealing a decision made by Judge Vargas who ruled that the funding freeze was a violation of federal regulation and that it is arbitrary and capricious.

Trump lost his appeal in the 2nd Circuit, although it's possible he could win later in the case.

The governorship situaton hasn't changed in America in 50 years.

During the 1970's, SNL ran a comical news report during the Weekend Update news segment about the Black governors national convention that was supposedly taking place.

The background image for the story was a empty large hall with tables and chairs with no one present.

 

Why Texas dad who shot daughter dead after argument over Trump won't face charges: legal expert

excerpt:

“We have stand your Ground laws, but I don’t see how they would have applied in this situation because that’s more of a self-defense [law]. Being in fear [for] your life,” she said.

“Not with your own daughter after you’ve been drinking wine and having an argument about politics.”

 

Why Texas dad who shot daughter dead after argument over Trump won't face charges: legal expert

excerpt:

"She said sympathy for gun mishaps and the politically charged nature of the case, including that it centered around Trump, likely played a role in the jury’s decision not to indict Harrison."

 

Why Texas dad who shot daughter dead after argument over Trump won't face charges: legal expert

excerpt:

Wine-drunk dad Kris Harrison — who claimed his Glock 9mm pistol accidentally went off, killing his 23-year-old daughter, Lucy, last year — was able to skirt manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide raps due to right-leaning “politics” in Collin County, said Austin-based criminal defense lawyer Lindsay Richards.

“I honestly believe that the fact that he was not indicted and has not had any consequences for doing this is symptomatic of a very conservative county in Texas,” said Richards, a former prosecutor and partner at the law firm Coker and Connelly.

 

It leaves to the imagination what the jury in Texas would have done if the daughter had been a Biden supporter and 'accidentally' shot and killed her Trump-supporting father.

 

Trump reportedly told Schumer he would drop his hold on funding if Schumer would agree to rename Penn Station and Washington Dulles International Airport after him.

Trump later claimed that it was Schumer who offered to put Trump's name on the station and airport if the funding was restored. Schumer said that was a lie by Trump.

excerpt:

"The proposal, called the USMCA Travel and Tourism Resiliency Act, would create a working group focused specifically on travel and tourism during the next review of the United States-Mexico-Canada trade agreement."

 

Trump is considering ending USMCA because he thinks Canada is cheating on it.

USMCA is also an impediment to Trump trying to put tariffs on items that were protected under USMCA.

After all his attacks on Canada and Mexico, his administration wants a USMCA to promote tourism in the U.S., particularly in 2026 for the FIFA games and America's 250th birthday.
