The Donald Trump Score Card

It's selective corruption by Trump. He isn't using presidential power to try to force Fox News to become objective or to mold Pat Robertson's (CBN Regent) and Jerry Falwell's (Liberty) universities into his image (because they already are in his image).

 

How Trump used the presidency to expand his global empire.


How Trump Used The Presidency To Expand His Global Empire

excerpt:

"Trump’s international travel, for instance, seems to be as much about his personal business as his national priorities. He heads to Scotland Friday, with plans to visit the two towns where he has golf resorts. His only other trip abroad since reassuming the presidency, besides a quick jaunt to the pope’s funeral and a couple of obligatory summits, was a tour through the Middle East. First, he landed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, home of Dar Al Arkan, a development firm whose subsidiary has signed a slew of new deals with Trump across the region, including in Riyadh. Next, he headed to Doha, Qatar, which will soon welcome a Trump-branded golf community about 25 miles north of the city. Finally, he flew to Abu Dhabi."

 

How Trump Used The Presidency To Expand His Global Empire

excerpt:

It's all head-spinning for people like Walter Shaub, who led the Office of Government Ethics in Trump’s first term and clashed publicly with the White House over the president’s decision to hang onto his business; Shaub resigned in 2017. What Trump is doing today, Shaub says, is far worse than in his first term. “This president has absolutely demolished any sense of a government-ethics program,” Shaub explains. “In fact, it’s gone so far as to be whatever is the direct opposite of government ethics—I suppose we’d call that corruption.”

 

It's outright, blatant corruption with Trump displaying it full-view in the public domain.

 

Don't expect the GOP in Congress or the Supreme Court to stop it.

 

Trump acceptance of a plane from Qatar (which will allow him a new Trump golf resort) to be used as his Air Force One did cause a few GOP members of Congress to turn their heads a little. But they did nothing significant to try to stop it.

excerpt:

“The best course anywhere in the world is Turnberry,” Mr. Trump boasted to reporters after touching down, before saying he had a twofold message to deliver to Europe’s leaders: Halt mass migration and turn away from wind power.

“This immigration is killing Europe,” Mr. Trump said. “And the other thing, stop the windmills. Killing the beauty of your countries.”

 

Trump posts fat JD Vance meme sparking rumor they've fallen out

excerpt:

"Trump used the picture in a Truth Social media post depicting him and Vance in police cars chasing former President Barack Obama, who is driving a white Ford Bronco mirroring the O.J. Simpson car chase in 1994. The usage of Vance's photoshopped face set off a storm of comments."

 

Trump administration consumed by competing truther narratives.

excerpt;

“There seems to be a natural human tendency to reduce complex reality by seeing masterminds behind every bad thing,” said Michael Nelson, a presidential scholar at Rhodes College in Tennessee. “Trump has always played to that and now the Epstein scandal is rebounding on him.”

Indeed, Mr. Trump brought much of this on himself by encouraging dark views of the government that he derides as the “deep state,” views that prove hard to dispel now that the supposed deep state answers to him. The administration’s flip-flopping on whether it would release the Epstein files has fueled talk of a cover-up not only by Mr. Trump’s critics but by his own allies.

 

For Trump, it's Truther Consequences.

A TV game show should be made of it with Trump as the host.

 

More examples of what appear to be Trump engaging in corruption.

excerpt:

"The Trump Justice Department has already taken highly suspect actions in another criminal case involving someone Trump wanted something politically from: New York Mayor Eric Adams. The administration earlier this year moved to dismiss the charges against Adams while suggestively citing its desire for the New York Democrat to assist in its crackdown on illegal immigration.

Multiple prosecutors resigned in protest, with one claiming it was a “quid pro quo” in her resignation letter. And the judge in the case appeared to sympathize."

Trump immigration raids threaten US food security, farmers warn

excerpt:

"I began to get really concerned when we saw a group of border control agents come up to the Central Valley and just start going onto farms and just kind of trying to chase people down, evading the property owner," the 46-year-old farmer, who grows avocados, citrus and coffee, told AFP in an interview.

"That's not something we're used to happening in agriculture," she added.

The impact goes beyond harvesters, she said. "There's a whole food chain involved," from field workers to truck drivers to people working in packing houses and in sales.

 

Trump will fix it by starting a fast-track visa program so that those jobs will go to more immigrants instead of his MAGA fans who were socially conditioned by Trump into thinking those supposed great paying jobs were stolen from them.

 

Fox thinks Trump is finally becoming tough on Putin after giving him another 50 days to stop his war on Ukraine.
