The Donald Trump Score Card

The rise of Donald Trump is a terrifying moment in American politics

excerpt:

Trump is in serious contention to win the Republican presidential nomination. His triumph in a general election is unlikely, but it is far from impossible. He’s not a joke and he’s not a clown. He’s a man who could soon be making decisions of war and peace, who would decide which regulations are enforced and which are lifted, who would be responsible for nominating Supreme Court justices and representing America in the community of nations. This is not political entertainment. This is politics.

 

The article was from February 2016. Trump won the presidency and in 2024 some of the surveys are showing that he has a slight lead over Harris in the Electoral College vote.

The 2024 election could end up like it did in 2016 with Trump losing the popular vote but winning the presidency.

 

Not Just Putin: Why the Right Falls in Love with Dictators

excerpt:

"Just look, for instance, at the network that serviced Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian thug who ruled Ukraine until Kyiv’s democratic revolution a decade ago. There was Paul Manafort, who later became Trump’s 2016 campaign manager. But there was also Tony Podesta, who until the mid-2010s oversaw arguably the leading Democratic lobbying shop in Washington. There was even Tad Devine, who helped Yanukovych grab power in 2010 — and who then steered Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign. It was an ideological potpourri, all working at the behest of an autocrat who tried to cement pro-Russian rule in Kyiv — and whose ouster lit a fuse that detonated stability in Europe and that now risks far more devastation.

But that’s all the subject for another book (mine, called Foreign Agents, will be hitting bookshelves in August). In the meantime, Heilbrunn’s analysis of this glorification of right-wing dictatorships is a warning — as if more were needed — of what a potential Trump second term could look like. Whether it’s Putin’s Russia or Orbán’s Hungary, or even the echoes of Wilhelmine Germany, the conclusion is clear: “Aggrieved … by what they perceived as their own society’s failings — its liberalism, its tolerance, its increasing secularism — conservatives have searched for a paradise abroad that can serve as a model of home.” The kaiser would be proud."

 

Trump became bored during an intelligence meeting and wanted to order milkshakes.

Back then, he'd order milkshakes when he was bored with meetings.

Today he turns an event like a town hall into into a concert and dance.


Trump interrupts classified briefing on Afghanistan for milkshakes

excerpt:

"Among those present was the head of the CIA’s Special Activities Center, which is responsible for covert operations and paramilitary operations.

They were midway through their presentation when the president interrupted them.

“Does anyone want a malt?” he asked the senior defense and intelligence officials.

“We have the best malts, you have to try them.”

The billionaire businessman then reportedly beckoned a waiter into the room, where code-word classified intelligence was being discussed.

Within the CIA “the malt episode”, as it became known, became infamous inside the CIA, said three former officials."

Trump reportedly got bored during one of his first classified briefings on Afghanistan and ordered milkshakes in the middle of it

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump interrupted a classified intelligence briefing on Afghanistan in the early months of his presidency to order milkshakes, Politico reported."

 

Trump commented on fainting attendees who he thinks were patriots who caused everyone to have great music instead of a town hall meeting.


Trump's town hall turns into impromptu concert after medical incidents

excerpt:

“Those two people who went down are patriots,” Trump said after the music. “We love them. And because of them, we ended up with some great music, right?”

 

If the venue Trump was using couldn't afford air conditioning, a better explanation is that it's because he doesn't pay his bills.

 

Trump blames wind turbines for what he says are high bacon prices.


Trump appears to tie high bacon prices to ‘horrible’ wind energy

excerpt:

"Trump delivered a lengthy answer, apparently saying that he blamed wind power for bacon being more costly and therefore eaten less.

“You take a look at bacon and some of these products – and some people don’t eat bacon any more,” Trump said. “We are going to get the energy prices down. When we get energy down, you know … this was caused by their horrible energy – wind. They want wind all over the place. But when it doesn’t blow, we have a little problem.”"

 

Trump could hold a rally and do nothing but sit on stage like a king on his throne while the 'Ave Maria' and 'YMCA' played again and again.

His followers would stand in front of him in awe for two hours until they fainted.

 

The subservient REQUIRE someone or some organization to control their thinking. It's just so haaaarrrd to think for ones self!

 

The look on some of the folks faces, though. Especially the ladies that were sitting on the left behind him. People are actually starting to wonder “WTF?”
This MAGA scene is played out, and corny!!

 

Governor Kristi Noem sounded confused also. She was on stage at the rally telling Trump about how he said he wanted to play a particular song. Trump said, "What song?" She had to explain it to him.

The music played on and on.

All that was needed was Trump saying, "Let's go get a milkshake!"

 

Trump needs The Village People to record a disco version of the Ave Maria that he can play at every rally.

 

I'm surprised he didn't get a cease and desist for playing the YMCA.

 

My mother in law used to use this earthy toned makeup, like the orange orangutan, it was called 'indian earth', like ground up bricks.. I thought it looked like Rustoleum's red lead rusty metal primer...

 

Trump's bizarre music session reignites questions about his mental acuity

excerpt:

“I loved it,” said Jay Bauer, who was in attendance from Montgomery County. “I felt like I was sitting in a room with him. Just him. I could have been here another hour, another two hours. I was just great spending time with the president.”

 

Trump hasn't been president since January 2021.

 

A perverted church service.


Trump's bizarre music session reignites questions about his mental acuity

excerpt:

“This is the weirdest church service I have ever been to,” a first-time rallygoer who did not give their name told NBC News of the music portion of the event, which opened with “Ave Maria.”

 

Trump's bizarre music session reignites questions about his mental acuity

excerpt:

"“It shows that he is increasingly detached from reality,” Schatz posted. “Everyone knows if Biden or Harris did that it would be media mayhem. He’s not ok, and you can’t ignore it anymore.”"
