The Donald Trump Score Card

One thing about the fuck head--he is 79 and he can't live forever. He can't run again according to the constitution. For 3 more years, he's going to keep fucking this government up, along with shipping decent people out of the country. Down the line, this trump era will be written about by credible historians and exposed for the shit show it is and the republican party will not fare well. In one way, this is catastrophic for many people and institutions ----however it will be known---and shown that it was foolish to have elected a depraved, lying, crooked, childish narcissist to a responsible position of ANY TYPE , let alone the actual president of the United States! So MAYBE---MAYBE---HOPEFULLY---LESSON LEARNED????

 

Trump & NY Mayor Mamdani had a civil White House meeting and press conference ; defying the stereotypes put foreward by detractors.

 

Greene to retire in January.


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to resign in January

excerpt:

“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can't even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,” Greene said in a statement posted to social media.

“Until then I’m going back to the people I love, to live life to the fullest as I always have, and look forward to a new path ahead. I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026,” she wrote.

excerpt:

"In exchange for giving up land and its ability to defend itself, Ukraine would be offered toothless security guarantees by the United States—much like the never-enforced guarantees that it received when it gave up nuclear weapons after gaining independence in the 1990s. The points in the deal appear to be so lopsided in Putin’s favor that they might as well have been dictated by Moscow."

excerpt:

"A few days later, R. was gone. He drove almost non-stop from Nebraska to North Carolina—21 hours behind the wheel, fueled by coffee and electrolytes. The destination: a small city his friend said was safe, where immigration raids were rare or non-existent.

When he got there, he went straight to work at his new roofing gig.

That was five months ago. NPR recently checked in with him.

"It's been quiet here," he says. He wouldn't say he's happy, but there are fewer Hispanics, "so the town just isn't a big immigration enforcement target."

At least for now. He's hoping it stays that way."

 

Trump started immigration raids in Charlotte, NC this week.

If that man is anywhere near Chartlotte, he's under the same threat or worse than when he was in Nebraska.

Trump eased on raiding farms and meat-packing plants, apparently realizing it's crippling his political support.

Trump allows more foreign ag workers, eases off ICE raids on farms

excerpt:

"In a tacit admission that U.S. food production requires foreign labor, the Trump administration is making it easier for farmers to employ guest workers from other countries.

At the same time, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in recent months appears to be refraining from conducting agricultural workplace raids, even as it scours Democratic-led cities for immigrants who are in the country illegally."

 

Trump’s Executive Orders Shift Higher Education Landscape

excerpt:

Unlike the more chaotic rollout of executive orders in 2017, which faced widespread legal challenges and reversals, this time the administration appears more prepared. Many policies are structured to withstand court scrutiny, often including severability clauses so that if parts are struck down, other provisions remain in effect. But executive orders cannot override existing law, meaning that key programs and protections for students and institutions remain in place unless Congress acts.

 

How Trump’s absence marks leadership opportunity for China at G20

excerpt:

By Friday morning, Trump appeared to have backtracked on his stance somewhat, when speculation that Washington might send a US official to Johannesburg after all circulated.

Regardless, the spat comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping sends Premier Li Qiang to represent him on the world stage. China’s 72-year-old president has dialled back foreign visits, increasingly delegating his top emissary.

“The US is giving China an opportunity to expand its global influence,” Zhiqun Zhu, professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell University, told Al Jazeera. “With the absence of the US, China and EU countries will be the focus of the summit and other countries will look for leadership [from them].”

 

More American farm bankruptcies in the first six months of Trump than all of 2024.


Bombshell report details more farm bankruptcies in 6 months of Trump tariffs than all of 2024

excerpt:

"Iowa farmers filed the second-largest number of bankruptcies nationally in the first half of the year, already twice as many as last year and the most since 2021," the report said.

Bankruptcy attorney Joseph Peiffer said that he sees "extreme financial distress" across not only Iowa but the Midwest as well. It's at a "level higher than I’ve seen in a long time."

“They’ve been losing money for a couple of years, and this year, they’re looking at losing a lot of money,” Peiffer said.

 

There’s still ‘no evidence’ China is buying all the U.S. soybeans it promised under Trump’s trade deal amid oversupply from South America

excerpt:

"After he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a regional economic summit in South Korea, the White House said Beijing committed to buying at least 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans during the final two months of 2025 and buying at least 25 million tons annually in 2026, 2027, and 2028."

 

Donald Trump Wants to Bullshit the Economy Into Greatness

excerpt:

"But you’d be hard-pressed to find a more speculative, less reliable indicator of actual future economic prosperity than these sorts of vague promises, as anyone who remembers the Foxconn boondoggle of Trump’s first term could tell you. Meanwhile, the investment promises Trump is extracting from other world leaders are about as abstract, gauzy, and speculative as it’s possible for a handshake agreement to be.

This summer, when Trump struck a tentative trade agreement with Japan, the White House printed off documents for the announcement event boasting of $400 billion in promised Japanese investments in America. Then, before the event started, someone—Trump himself?—crossed out “400” with a Sharpie and wrote “500” down instead. When Trump took to Truth Social to spike the football, the number became $550 billion.

The rules are made up and the points don’t matter; when the point of the exercise is just to get Trump in a good mood, you’ll let him say any number he likes. This behavior is not limited to foreign leaders: Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg made up a $600 billion Meta investment on the spot to please a nearby Trump, and then got caught on a hot mic admitting it."

 

Trump praises benevolent remarks from other countries that were made to please him.

Words like 'commit', 'promise', and 'pledge' are used in such gentleman's agreements that aren't enforceable.

The article by Forune referred to it as a football game where Trump makes up the rules as he goes along and scores as many points as he wishes to make himself look good.

Meanwhile, people in the U.S. in the middle and lower income brackets continue to struggle with rising costs as Trump cuts their entitlements like food assistance and Medicaid with what he calls his Big Beautiful Bill while he builds a $300 million White House ballroom.

 

Column: Trump’s revenge tour, coming to a town near you
By Cooper Hall, Senior Writer
September 15, 2025

https://www.dailytarheel.com/article/opinion-column-space-command-revenge-plot-20250915

excerpt:

"The idea that national funding or aid could be administered based on political affiliation is unfair. Worse, jobs or education being potentially withheld based on state election results is terrifying. We have the right to a government that serves us with no bias, which is stolen from us when Trump wrecks every check and balance built into our government.

Trump’s mission to recklessly seek vengeance against his enemies is a direct attack on democracy, a type of government that relies upon diversity of perspective. Rewarding those who agree with you, while targeting those who don't, isn't just childlike; it's dangerous. Instilling fear to speak against an administration in citizens and organizations isn't just undemocratic; it's a defining trait of an authoritarian leader."

Article from September 2025.

excerpt:

On Monday, the Supreme Court issued a brief, unsigned order that overturns those decisions. This gives immigration agents a “green light” to once again stop anyone they guess to be here illegally—even if a central reason for the stop was race. This endorses ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish or working in low-income jobs, and then demanding their papers.

Justice Sotomayor, one of the three Justices who dissented, raised a clear alarm in her dissent. She warned that this decision risks turning Latinos into second class citizens. In her words: “We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”
