The Donald Trump Score Card

Summary of insults Trump has made about electric vehicles.


Trump is buying a Tesla. Here are some of the harsh things he's said about EVs over the years

excerpt:

“Where are you going? ‘I’m going to Massachusetts.’ Well, you better get yourself a gas turbine because this car is not going to get you there,” he said. “Well, you could, if you stop about four times.”

That followed his joke during an event in Clive, Iowa, the previous month: “Electric cars are good if you have a towing company.”

excerpt:

Trump, after all, has touted himself as a first and foremost a dealmaker, raising hopes in foreign capitals that there’s an off-ramp for the escalating trade conflicts.

But as the EU official said, “It’s … not very productive to now start negotiating about removing the tariffs. You put a stinking fish on the table, and then you start negotiating to remove that stinking fish, and then you say, ‘Oh, we have a great result: there’s no stinking fish on the table.’”

As Trump would say, those dogs weren't working anyway.

 

How a 1974 law prohibits presidents from blocking congressional spending

excerpt:

"After he was reelected in 1972, Republican President Richard Nixon attempted to ignore appropriations laws funding domestic spending programs he opposed. Rather than work with the Democratic-led Congress to change the law, his administration simply decided to withhold appropriated funds designated for housing programs, disaster relief, and clean water.

Impoundment Control Act

To protect the appropriations process, Congress overwhelmingly voted to pass the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which establishes a process by which presidents need to request and receive permission from the House and Senate to rescind appropriations.

Nixon signed the package on July 12 of that year. Under the law, after asking Congress to cancel an expenditure, a president can delay spending funds for up to 45 days when Congress is in session while awaiting a response. Both the House and Senate need to agree to the cut or the administration must spend the money."

 

Trump proclaims Biden's proactive pardons of House J6 committee members void.


Trump claims Biden pardons for Jan. 6 committee 'void, vacant'

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump claimed that former President Joe Biden's preemptive pardons of members of the Jan. 6 Select Committee and others were "void, vacant, and of no future force of effect."

Trump in a post to his Truth Social network went on to say that members of that House committee are "subject to investigation at the highest level" and baselessly accused them of being responsible for their own pardons, without Biden's knowledge."

 

How a 1974 law prohibits presidents from blocking congressional spending

excerpt:

"In his 2024 campaign, Trump endorsed the idea of using impoundment as a tool to “Slash Waste, Stop Inflation, and Crush the Deep State”; called the Impoundment Control Act “clearly unconstitutional, a blatant violation of the separation of powers”; and promised to challenge it in court and get it overturned.

Democrats in Congress say Trump is flat-out wrong. “Unilaterally slashing funds that have been lawfully appropriated by the people’s elected representatives in Congress would be a devastating power grab that undermines our economy and puts families and communities at risk,” said House Budget Committee ranking member Brandan Boyle (D-PA) in a November statement. “House Democrats are ready to fight back against any illegal attempt to gut the programs that keep American families safe and help them make ends meet.”

On Jan. 27, the White House issued a memorandum announcing a freeze on all disbursements of funds related to “financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.” Two days later, it withdrew the memorandum after a federal judge temporarily put its implementation on hold."

 

Trump says 'patriot' saint instead of patron saint.

Trump expels South Africa envoy.


Trump admin. expels South Africa envoy Ebrahim Rasool, calls him a "race-baiting politician who hates America" - CBS News

excerpt:

The expulsion came after Rasool, during a webinar hosted by the South African Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection, accused Mr. Trump of pursuing policies and practices that the diplomat characterized as "a white supremacist response to growing demographic diversity in the United States."

 

That remark goes right to the core of Trump and the GOP. It explains why Trump is so upset.

 

Trump administration live updates: Border czar doesn't 'care' what judges say about deportation flights

excerpt:

"It wasn't until this flight was already [in] international waters heading down to El Salvador that the judge made some comment about returning the flights. We are already in international waters. We are outside the borders of the United States. I'm the border czar. Once you are outside the border, you know, it is what it is," Homan said.
