The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump invites China's Xi to his presidential inauguration.


Trump invites China's Xi Jinping to inauguration

excerpt:

"Ambassadors and other diplomats are typically invited to inaugurations, but State Department records dating back to 1874 show that a foreign leader has never attended a transfer-of-power ceremony."

 

Trump can invite all the world's top dictators to his inauguration.

Right after the inauguration, Trump can have a D8 summit with all of them (to discuss how they will help Trump's forgotten working class people).

 

Bragg is reportedly offering an arrangement where Trump's 34-count criminal conviction stands indefinately, Bragg closes the case, and Trump agrees to end his appeal of the convicition.

It's not clear if NY law permits such an arrangement.

Time Magazine makes Trump 'Person Of The Year' for 2024.


https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/11/politics/trump-time-magazine-person-of-the-year/index.html

excerpt:

"Every US president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt, except Gerald Ford, has been named Person of the Year at least once. President Joe Biden and Harris were co-honorees after they defeated Trump in 2020."

 

Time Magazine could have tried to obtain permission to use Trump's mug shot from his arrest in Georgia for trying to steal the election from Americans. Trump seems so proud of the photo.

 

Americans rate Trump's Cabinet picks in new poll

excerpt:

"However, when asked about the president-elect's cabinet selections, which include some unconventional nominees, 47% of those polled said they approved, with 50% disapproving.

It was the same response when asked about billionaire Elon Musk serving as a close adviser to the president-elect during the transition from President Biden's administration to the Trump administration, with 47% approving and 50% disapproving."

 

Fetterman joins Truth Social and calls for Biden to pardon Trump.


John Fetterman joins Truth Social, calls for Trump pardon

excerpt:

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has become the first Democratic senator to join Truth Social, President-elect Donald Trump's social media platform. In his debut post, Fetterman made a surprising call to pardon Trump.

"The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both bull****, and pardons are appropriate," Fetterman wrote. "Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division."

 

At the 2025 inauguration ball, it looks like Trump will once again be dancing to Frank Sinatra's tune 'My Way' with his wife Melania like he did in 2017.

Or maybe with his wife Elon Musk or President Xi of China to the tune 'YMCA'.

Trump sends out inaugural invitations to world's strong-arms and autocrats.


https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/12/politics/trump-foreign-leaders-inauguration-invites/index.html

excerpt:

"El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Argentinean President Javier Milei have also been invited by Trump or his team, sources confirmed to CNN. All three are close allies of Trump who have also shaken the nerves of the US and its allies at times for their embrace of strongman tactics and their far-right politics."

Another unsubstantiated claim by Trump.

Trump blames just about everything on immigration. Supposedly taking the good jobs (his speech at a Black church in Detroit), taking the good housing from people, causing crime, eating people's pets.


Despite Trump’s claim, deportations likely wouldn’t ease housing crisis, most experts say
At best, the link is tenuous. At worst, far fewer homes would get built.

“Immigration is driving housing costs through the roof,” he said at a September rally in Arizona.

 

Six hundred of Trump's rioters have been charged with assaulting or impeding police offices at the Capitol.

It will be known soon if Trump will pardon them, even the violent ones.


FBI informants were at Capitol riot but no agents, watchdog finds

excerpt:

"In the wake of the riot, the FBI came under scrutiny from lawmakers who questioned the use of informants and whether more could have been done to gather intelligence and prevent the riot from taking place.

While the report compiled by justice department inspector Michael Horowitz determined that the FBI had identified a potential for violence that day and took "appropriate" steps, it missed a "basic step" by not canvassing its field officers for potential intelligence.

This step, in turn, "could have helped the FBI and its law enforcement partners with their preparations" ahead of the riot."

 

FBI informants were at Capitol riot but no agents, watchdog finds

excerpt:

Approximately 1,572 people have been charged criminally in federal court for their participation in the riot.

The figure includes nearly 600 charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement agents, and 171 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Trump - who has referred to the rioters as "patriots" and "political prisoners" - said in a recent interview that he is "going to be acting very quickly" to pardon "most" of the people involved in the riot.

Trump criticizes Ukraine's use of US missiles for attacks deep into Russia

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/us/politics/trump-tv-stock-market.html

excerpt:

"The old guardrails from his first term have rusted away. The kind of people who saw themselves as the “adults in the room” who needed to protect the country from Mr. Trump — like John F. Kelly, the former Marine general who was his longest-serving chief of staff, and former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis — will not be hired again.

Mr. Trump is likely to receive only the meekest resistance from his own party, which will control both the House and Senate and whose members fear Trump-backed primary challengers. He has completed his hostile takeover of the Republican Party and the dissenters have been driven into retirement, defeated in primaries or cowed into silence.

The most powerful curbs on Mr. Trump now, people close to him say, are the old standbys. During his first four years in Washington, Mr. Trump saw the stock market as more powerful a measurement than any poll, obsessing over it and watching it closely."

 

So now the American people are supposed to rely on the stock market to serve as the guard rail on Trump.
