The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump frantically tries to distract from the Epstein saga by going back to Obama.


Trump Melts Down in Unhinged Revenge Rant: ‘They Must Pay’

excerpt:

“The Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX is now TOTALLY UNDISPUTED! THE FACTS ARE ALL THERE, IN BLACK AND WHITE,” Trump posted Friday morning. “It is the biggest scandal in American History. The perpetrators of this CRIME must pay a big price. This can never be allowed to happen in our Country again!”

 

Trump Melts Down in Unhinged Revenge Rant: ‘They Must Pay’

excerpt:

"The Truth Social posts from Trump attacking Obama came as the president continues to dig himself deeper into the furore about what he knows about the crimes of Epstein, the billionaire pedophile who died in Aug. 2019.

After years of claiming their friendship ended over a real estate dispute, Trump now says he cut ties with Epstein because the financier “stole” young workers from Mar-a-Lago."

 

The U.S. Senate with a 50-45 vote has confirmed Fox host Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.


Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia

excerpt:

"The president nominated Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia after his nomination of Edward Martin collapsed in the wake of Martin's firings of prosecutors who handled some of the Jan. 6 criminal cases. Martin — a "Stop the Steal" advocate and MAGA political activist who was among the crowd outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, — appeared to lack enough support in the Senate needed for confirmation, Mr. Trump said when he announced Pirro's nomination."

 

Trump pardoned Pirro's husband as one of his last acts of his first term.


Senate confirms Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia

excerpt:

"During Mr. Trump's first term, on his last day as president, he pardoned Pirro's ex-husband, Al Pirro, who was convicted of tax evasion and conspiracy while his wife was district attorney in Westchester County, New York."

 

White House branded 'laughing stock of the world' after WWE video with Triple H

excerpt:

Trump looked directly at Triple H, calling him "an amazing athlete" and his "friend for a long time," only to look around the room to find him, forgetting that he was standing right beside the WWE Chief Content Officer.

Later that day, the White House released a bizarre video on its official X account of Triple H, where the 56-year-old walks through the building before exiting and performing his signature water-spitting entrance as his theme song “The Game” plays in the background.

 

It's past 24 hours, 24 days, and 24 weeks since Trump was supposed to stop Putin's war on Ukraine.

Trump doesn't know how to do the art of the deal.

The U.S. Senate has left for August recess without confirming Trump's nominees.

Trump wouldn't give in to agreeing to not do more budget rescissions and wouldn't agree to undo his freezing of grants.

If it's so clear and simple, have Pam Bondi assign a special counsel (the one Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Judge Cannon in FL say doesn't have the authority to prosecute) to prosecute Obama and Biden, who now have immunity because Clarence Thomas and the rest of the conservatives on the Supreme Court gave it to Trump (and, unforunately for Trump and the GOP, to all presidents).

Low-wage workers reeling over Trump’s looming Snap cuts as food prices rise

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/business/trump-tariffs-how-much-money-debt.html

excerpt:

"Such a shift is expected to be regressive, meaning that rich Americans will fare better than poorer Americans under the change. That’s because cutting taxes on income does, in general, provide the biggest benefit to richer Americans who earn the most income. The recent Republican cut to income taxes and the social safety net is perhaps the most regressive piece of major legislation in decades.

Placing new taxes on imported products, however, is expected to raise the cost of everyday goods. Lower-income Americans spend more of their earnings on those more expensive goods, meaning the tariffs amount to larger tax increase for them compared to richer Americans."

 

DOJ avoidant of Miller's stated goal of at least 3,000 arrests per day.


DOJ scrambling away from Stephen Miller's comments on mass immigrant arrests: report

excerpt:

In May, Miller told Fox News personality Sean Hannity, "Under President Trump’s leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day and President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every day,"

Trump's mental state questioned again.

‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity

excerpt:

"Over the weekend Trump, during a meeting with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, abruptly switched from discussing immigration to saying this: “The other thing I say to Europe: we’ve – we will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States. They’re killing us. They’re killing the beauty of our scenery.”

Trump proceeded to speak, non-stop and unprompted, for two minutes about windmills, claiming without evidence that they drive whales “loco” and that wind energy “kills the birds” (the proportion of birds killed by turbines is tiny compared with the amount killed by domestic cats and from flying into power lines).

The abrupt changes in conversation are an example of Trump “digressing without thinking – he’ll just switch topics without self-regulation, without having a coherent narrative”, said Harry Segal, a senior lecturer in the psychology department at Cornell University and in the psychiatry department at Weill Cornell Medicine."

 

While in Scotland, at least Trump didn't start up on Hannibal Lecter again.

 

Trump's fable about his uncle supposedly teaching the Unabomber at MIT.


‘He has trouble completing a thought’: bizarre public appearances again cast doubt on Trump’s mental acuity

excerpt:

A high-profile example came in mid-July, when Trump claimed his uncle, the late professor John Trump, had taught Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, at MIT.

Trump recalled: “I said: ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John? Dr John Trump.’ I said: ‘What kind of a student?’ And then he said: ‘Seriously, good.’ He said: ‘He’d correct – he’d go around correcting everybody.’ But it didn’t work out too well for him.”

The problem is: that cannot possibly be true. First, Trump’s uncle died in 1985, and Kaczynski was only publicly identified as the Unabomber in 1996. Second, Kaczynski did not study at MIT.

“The story makes no sense whatsoever, but it’s told in a very warm, reflective way, as if he’s remembering it,” Segal said. “This level of thinking really has been deteriorating.”

 

It could have been worse.

Trump could have claimed his uncle taught Hannibal Lecter at MIT.
