The Donald Trump Score Card

I think if they want to do something for common good, they can start from the pulpit with the messages they preach to their communities. And, how are they going to do both- preach and hold a political position?! It sounds like they want in on the grifting.

 

Trump considers talks with Venezuela's Maduro even as U.S. ramps up military pressure

excerpt:

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky sided with Democrats to require congressional authorization.

Paul said in October in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that the strikes “go against all of our tradition.” He raised concerns over people being killed without the administration’s providing evidence of crimes, noting the possibility that some of those killed could be innocent."

 

Trump considers talks with Venezuela's Maduro even as U.S. ramps up military pressure

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — The U.S. military carried out another strike on an alleged drug boat in the eastern Pacific on Saturday, killing three people, U.S. Southern Command said Sunday on X.

It is at least the 21st strike the military has conducted on alleged drug boats during the second Trump administration, prompting concerns from some lawmakers."

 

Trump dismisses Greene's safety concerns.

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on his attacks against Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday, dismissing her claim that his criticism was endangering her and saying he did not believe anyone was targeting her."

 

Trump changes his stance and rolls back tariffs on hundreds of food items.

According to Trump, his tariffs are raking in money from foreigners.

Yet, by reducing his tariffs, he's conceding they are causing rising prices.

 

Trump changes his stance again on House vote on Epstein files.


Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files

excerpt:

US President Donald Trump has called on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, in a reversal from his previous position.

"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday night.

 

Trump talked like he was going to release all the Epstein files when he started his second term.

Then he said he wasn't and stonewalled.

Now he wants Congress to vote to release them.

 

Trans air force members sue Trump administration over denied pension

excerpt:

"A group of 17 transgender US air force members has sued the Trump administration for denying them early retirement pensions and benefits.:

 

Bill Clinton Issued A Statement Responding To Trump's Jeffrey Epstein Allegations

excerpt:

“These emails prove Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing," the statement read. "The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring shutdowns, and who knows what else.”

Trump Calls for NBC to Fire Seth Meyers in Post, FCC Chair Shares It

excerpt:

"Earlier in the month, Trump claimed on Truth Social that Meyers had “NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!”

While it’s unclear what specifically prompted Trump to want Meyers fired, last week, Meyers repeatedly joked about Trump during his monologues. He recently mocked Trump over how his administration has been responding to the batch of Jeffrey Epstein emails released Wednesday, in which Epstein stated that Trump “knew about the girls” in Epstein’s sex trafficking case. Meyers also recently joined other late-night hosts in roasting Trump’s decision to knock down the East Wing of the White House."

 

It’s affordability, stupid: Republicans pay price for Trump’s forgotten promise

excerpt:

"And he has poured fuel on those flames with his shows of excess. As thousands of federal workers were furloughed without pay because of the government shutdown, Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to build a $300m ballroom, posted photos of the Lincoln Bathroom made over in marble and gold and threw a Great Gatsby-themed party at his private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

If Democrats had used AI to come up with a deepfake designed to make Trump look out of touch, they could not have done better."

 

Answer to GOP’s ‘affordability problem’: unleash supply

excerpt:

"Tariffs and the uncertainty they create are one reason medical costs — and, by extension, health insurance premiums — are going up. Some insurers, anticipating higher drug and medical supply prices and a slowing economy, are already building those costs into 2026 rates. Among insurers that did so, Health System Tracker estimates that tariff-related pressures added roughly three percentage points, or about one-fifth of their total proposed premium increases, for next year."

 

Answer to GOP’s ‘affordability problem’: unleash supply

excerpt:

"Trump’s referring to Walmart’s “inflation-free Thanksgiving meal,” said to feed 10 people for $40, plus fees. This year’s standard basket is less expensive than last year’s eight-person bundle, but it no longer contains pecan pie, whipped topping, muffin mix, poultry seasoning, chicken broth, sweet potatoes, onions and celery, all of which have been quietly dropped."

 

Trump's Republican Party insists there's no affordability crisis and dismisses election losses

excerpt:

“Affordability is a lie when used by the Dems. It is a complete CON JOB,” Trump wrote. “Thanksgiving costs are 25% lower this year than last, under Crooked Joe! We are the Party of Affordability!”

Trump is still on his mantra of the turkey dinner package at Walmart being 25% less in 2025 than the previous year.

It costs 25% less, but less is in it this year.

Trump picks this Walmart soundbite instead of showing hard data, such as the Consumer Price Index.

Similarly, he has chosen to not show evidence (assuming any) of illegal drugs on the boats he has blown up in the Carribean.

At a press gathering last week when asked by a reporter to see the evidence about drugs on the boats blown up, Trump said, "You don't need to see it."

 

Trump's Republican Party insists there's no affordability crisis and dismisses election losses

excerpt:

“Republicans need to relay to voters that they understand what they’re going through and that they’re trying to fix it,” Heye said. “That can be hard to do when the president takes a nonmetaphorical wrecking ball to portions of the White House, which distract so much of Washington and the media.”
