The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, says Trump isn't thinking about retribution at the start of the day. He simply takes the opportunity to get even with people when it presents itself to him.

 

Gov. Abbott embarks on mission to start Kirk TPUSA chapters in every high school in Texas.


Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools

excerpt:

Texas has launched a partnership with Turning Point USA to create chapters of the right-wing organization on every high school campus in the state.

Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Turning Point USA Senior Director Josh Thifault revealed the initiative during a news conference at the Governor’s Mansion on Monday. They did not outline any plans that would require schools to initiate the clubs, but Abbott said that he expects “meaningful disciplinary action” to take place against “any stoppage of TPUSA in the great state of Texas.”

 

Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools

excerpt:

"The governor acknowledged that it is highly unlikely he would endorse a similar initiative for more progressive, left-leaning causes, but added that “it would not be illegal” for them to exist in public schools. Abbott signed Senate Bill 12 earlier this year, a sweeping state law that banned student clubs with an LGBTQ+ focus."

What the divides within the Maga base mean for Trump

excerpt:

Back in the 1980s, the Reagan coalition was a fusion of free-market economics, cultural conservatism, anti-communism and international foreign affairs, says Laura K Field, author of Furious Minds: The Making of the Maga New Right.

Trump's party, she continues, was perhaps best described by long-time Trump adviser and current state department official Michael Anton in a 2016 essay advocating for Trump's election. In contrast with the Reagan era, its core principles include "secure borders, economic nationalism and America-first foreign policy".

 

Trump declares fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction.

excerpt:

The timing of the designation is striking, as speculation mounts that the U.S. will carry out land strikes against alleged drug trafficking targets on Venezuelan soil as part of its pressure campaign against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Declaring fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction would give the U.S. additional legal justification to use military force against Venezuela.

Claims that Iraq still possessed WMDs were used as a legal justification for the invasion of the Middle Eastern country and the overthrow of its then-leader Saddam Hussein under the George W. Bush administration.

 

The old WMD claim again. This time it's for regime change in Venezuela instead of Iraq.

 

During the 2016 campaign, Trump distanced himself from what he called the Deep State and acts of military adventurism overseas. He was a DC outsider and supposedly wouldn't become like the insiders.

 

U.S. military struck three more boats, killing eight people.

The total number of people killed in boat strikes is 95.

excerpt:

The administration has labeled those killed “unlawful combatants” and claimed the ability to engage in lethal strikes without judicial review due to a classified Justice Department finding.

The strikes are part of a monthslong pressure campaign on Venezuela that has included moving thousands of troops and a carrier strike group into the Caribbean and repeated threats against President Nicolas Maduro.

 

Trump Finds a New Low; Can Republicans Find the Courage to Point It Out? - WhoWhatWhy

excerpt:

"After feeding at the bottom of a cesspool of his own creation, it is remarkable that Donald Trump still finds ways to stoop even lower. And yet, the president routinely manages to say or do things that are so depraved, despicable and disturbing that they defy belief."

 

The public has been supportive of it since 2015, enough to reelect him.

excerpts:

“Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered,” said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). “I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it.”


Oklahoma GOP Rep. Stephanie Bice called for prayer over politics as she condemned Trump’s post.

“A father and mother were murdered at the hands of their troubled son,” Bice posted on X. “We should be lifting the family up in prayer, not making this about politics.”

The observance of Trump's Jan. 6 deadly riot is a few weeks away.

Trump's version of a commemoration could be a show where he praises all his rioters and condemns the police who protected members of Congress and Pence from them.

Can't wait to find something else to do while his Wednesday bumbling bigoted speech hogs the networks. Maybe I can scrub out the trash can or something else fun.
