The Donald Trump Score Card

Three reasons why Republicans cut Medicaid

excerpt:

"That’s become increasingly clear over the past few days and months as Republican lawmakers have crafted their One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The sweeping legislation — which passed Thursday and is now headed to Trump’s desk — includes more than $1 trillion in health care cuts, the vast majority of which come from the federal-state health insurance program that serves more than 70 million low-income Americans."

 

Musk has some things to learn about Trump and how the federal government works.

Trying to reduce the national debt by firing the most vulnerable federal workers isn't a remedy. Although it gives Musk an emotional kick jumping up and down on stage with a giant chainsaw, it increases the national debt by disrupting operations and reducing efficiency.

Musk threatening to primary those supporting Trump's debt-increasing budget doesn't work. Trump threatens to primary them out of existence if they don't vote for it (he has a track records of disposing of GOP members who voted to impeach him and others who disagreed with him). Plus Trump gives them autographed merchandise.

Musk himself is dependent on Trump for hundreds of millions of dollars of federal contracts. ABC and CBS caved into Trump because they know he controls the FCC and other agencies upon which they depend to approve mergers and other business ventures. Musk is like a spoiled kid mouthing off at his parents who give him the allowance money.

Trump has shown that he will turn on any supposed friend in an instant and aggressively if he feels his perceived infinite authority is being usurped.

 

RFK's proposal to let bird flu spread through poultry could set us up for a pandemic, experts warn

excerpt:

"Kennedy's proposal is also very unlikely to work the way he's claimed it would — the birds that provide eggs and meat on farms are descendants of separate breeding populations and do not breed themselves. So even if there were a population of resilient birds that survived H5N1 infection, that doesn't mean they're passing on their genetic traits to a subsequent generation.

What's more, the mortality rate of H5N1 is extremely high among common poultry, reaching 100% in domestic chickens."

excerpt:

"Six months into his presidency, Trump still seems to have endless political capital to burn. A recent CNN poll found that Trump is not only more popular now among the base than he was in his first term, he’s more popular among Republicans than any president in recent memory at the five-month mark — even Ronald Reagan.

“Republicans love Donald Trump the way Americans love Disney World,” as CNN polling guru Harry Enten said earlier this week."

 

Trump warned members of Congress to not 'fuck around' with Medicaid.

They did, cutting even more than they had planned, a trillion dollars to partly pay for tax cuts. Trump didn't care in the end.


What Trump Told Me About His Complete Domination of Congress

 

What Trump Told Me About His Complete Domination of Congress

excerpt:

"Particularly on Capitol Hill, things could have gone much different. In fact, they did in his first term. Even with a much larger House majority, he struggled to corral lawmakers who had their own conceptions of what a unified Republican government ought to be doing. Early dreams of tossing Obamacare into the dustbin evaporated; so, too, did the GOP’s House majority.

Much felt similar this time around. You have fiscal hard-liners like Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Rep. Chip Roy of Texas groaning about deficits and moderates like Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska balking at health care cuts — to say nothing of the various parochial factions pulling the bill back and forth.

But this time, with the Republican Party almost entirely remade at Trump’s bidding, hardly any corralling was necessary. Yes, there were a pair of overnight vote-a-ramas and last-ditch negotiating standoffs. But it all felt awfully fait accompli — as those on Capitol Hill fully realized."

 

The Trump administration appears to be arguing that boxer Chavez should be deported because his wife has ties to a drug cartel based on a previous relationship she had with a now-deceased son of a drug cartel leader.

excerpt:

"His attorney told the Associated Press the current allegations against his client are “outrageous and simply another headline to terrorize the community.”

The boxer filed for permanent residency in April 2024 based on his marriage to a US citizen, who DHS officials say is connected to the Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico through a past relationship with one of the now-deceased sons of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the former leader of the cartel."

 

Republicans bowed to Trump in the end.

Detainees stuck in shipping contaner for six week will be deported.


https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...ird-country-deportations-south-sudan-00439701

excerpt:

"The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport eight men to South Sudan who have been detained in a shipping container on a U.S. military base in Djibouti for six weeks after becoming caught up in a legal tug-of-war between the White House and a federal judge in Boston.

By an apparent 7-2 vote, the justices lifted an order from U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy that had blocked the men’s deportation. Murphy took that step despite a Supreme Court ruling last week that put a hold on an earlier, nationwide injunction he issued requiring the administration to give deportees advance notice of their destination and a “meaningful” chance to object if they believed they’d be in danger there."

 

Trump has lied repeatedly about green energy credits, referring to them as mandates.

Clearly they aren't mandates.


How soon will you feel the effects of Trump's megabill?

excerpt:

The bill will remove tax credits for buying electric vehicles starting on Sept. 30 and tax credits for green home upgrades, such as solar power, at the end of the year.

 

How and when the budget bill will affect the public.


How soon will you feel the effects of Trump's megabill?

excerpt:

"Health policy experts and health care workers say the biggest impacts will felt through the closing of health centers throughout the country, especially in rural areas that were heavily funded by Medicaid. Others will lose coverage because of the work requirements and the additional paperwork required under the bill.

The original measure passed by the House made around $600 billion in cuts to Medicaid, but that grew with the Senate bill: new estimates from the non partisan Congressional Budget Office project federal spending on Medicaid will be reduced by $1 trillion and the number of uninsured people will increase by nearly 12 million by 2034."

 

Trump sending 700 troops (including 200 marines) to FL to assist in ICE operations.

That's in addition to 100 National Guard troops who are already stationed at Alligator Alcatraz.

UPenn agrees to ban transgender women from women's athletics teams, resolving Lia Thomas civil rights case

excerpt:

"Following President Trump's "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order in February, the Trump Administration's Office for Civil Rights opened the Title IX investigation into Penn for allowing Thomas a roster spot on its women's swimming and diving team. In late April, the Office for Civil Rights found in its investigation that Penn violated Title IX.

Had Penn not signed the proposed resolution agreement, it would have jeopardized its federal funding, risking referral to the U.S. Department of Justice for enforcement proceedings."

 

Trump pitches plan to allow farmers to vouch for illegal workers.


Trump pitches plan allowing farmers to vouch for illegal immigrant workers facing deportation

 

Trump should have planned that after he won the 2024 election and before taking office.

His faithful still think he's ten steps ahead of everyone.

 

Trump is talking about the farmers, but numerous other businesses throughout the country depend on undocumented workers.

Stephen Miller has an intense desire to deport all of them, whereas Trump seems to have at least an inkling, months after the fact, of the damage it is doing to the economy.

It will come down to a battle between Trump and Miller as to how far Miller's deportation agenda will go.

 

Trump kicks off supposed non-political, year-long, love-of-America, 250th birthday festival in Iowa by expressing (behind bullet-proof glass) his hatred for Democrats.

The man is a MENTALLY ADDLED, MEAN, IMMORAL,NO GOOD, FAT SON OF A BITCH!! It's going to take decades to recover from what cowardly republicans are---maybe they are not cowardly--actually this is all a republican dream come true!!
