The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump exaggerating and claiming he has signed more bills than any other President. This one can be added to the rest of his faulty claims, such as the crowd size on inaurguration day.

Institutions have their liabilities. The formal protection and promotion of the institution has a way of taking precedence over the benevolent causes that the institutionis is supposedly promoting, whether it's a school, church, or political party.

A news article about a school that effectively fired a teacher for saying something critical about the dairy industry on facebook. He made the remark on his own time and on his own computer. Sounds similar to bully pulpit tactics that Trump and others use.

Teachers at that school may actually be telling the students to be creative and speak their mind. Just don't say something on your own time publicly that is critical of the dairy industry or you might be fired by the school system because the school is funded in part by tax money collected from the dairy industry.

The next incident might be the expulsion of a student for stating an opinion about the dairy industry.

 

This is one of the fundamental problems of putting someone like Trump into the White House. He has a decades-long track record in his private businesses of demanding that people give him complete loyalty. It shows in the way he is behaving as President. The public relations stunt he pulled with all his cabinet members present and bowing down to him and expressing their loyalty to him is a prime example. He's perplexed and frustrated by the general atmosphere in DC and with those who aren't bowing down to him. His remedy is to name-call and fire such people and to invoke self-pity ploys that claim that people are being unfair to him.

 

Spicer gone.

At this 6-month juncture as President, Trump might want to try something really bold, such as holding a formal press conference in the press briefing room of the White House for the first time in his administration.

 

To add to Meagain's post about the NYT interview, Trump also shared some illuminating thoughts on health insurance :

Ladies and gents, the President of the United States

So where are these $12 plans and where can I sign up please

Caucasian band aids are racist by the way

 

Trump now concerned that investigators will be able to see his tax returns. For someone like Trump who decides to give family members formal positions in the White House, these are some of the liabilities that accompany it.


Trump wants to know if he has power to pardon himself, family, aides

excerpt:

"Trump has been fuming about the probe in recent weeks as he has been informed about the legal questions that he and his family could face. His primary frustration centers on why allegations that his campaign coordinated with Russia should spread into scrutinizing many years of Trump dealmaking. He has told aides he was especially disturbed after learning Mueller would be able to access several years of his tax returns.

Breaking a tradition that began with President Jimmy Carter, Trump has repeatedly refused to make his tax returns public after first claiming he could not do so because he was under audit or after promising to release them after an IRS audit was completed."

 

So is your left pinky toe.

 

LOL...
won't say what I'm thinking 'cause don't need any more warning points/bans, but seriously dude, pull your head out...

 

why is this absolute idiot still in office??

he is nothing but a disgrace and embarrassment to the American people...

 

^^^^
now, now, don't lower yourself to the mindless level of others around here, you're better than that.

 

I think they may actually follow through this time and file charges against the Trump camp for colluding with Russia. It's looking bad for Trump Jr. and the whole meeting with the Russian lawyer thing.

 

Every investigation has come up with nothing. In fact the head of a mainstream news network (forgot which one right now) that the whole thing is a big nothing burger. What makes you think this investigation is any different?

 

If it were Hillary you'd be going for her throat. You know that's true.
