The Donald Trump Score Card

US President Donald Trump found with makeup, ‘small hole’ on his hand: Social media reacts, ‘They stuff him with drugs’ | Mint

excerpt:

"Reporters noticed the uneven makeup on Donald Trump’s right hand. Earlier, on Christmas Eve, both hands showed signs of bruising and discolouration. This time, only the right hand appeared to be covered with concealer while the left looked normal."

 

Musk is at it again. This time he's targeting Somalis. It's the same mantra of Trump and Miller.


Elon Musk is on a racist posting spree again

Elon Musk is on a racist posting spree again

excerpt:

Billionaire Elon Musk — who’s long used his X (formerly Twitter) platform to stoke anger at immigrants and support antisemitic conspiracy theories — has spent the past day spreading and praising claims that “White people are on the verge of extinction,” Somali immigrants have “no right to be in America,” and nonprofits who support them are committing “treason and should be met with force.”

 

Trump tells Zelensky that Putin wants Ukraine to succeed.


It's easy to get lost in multi-point plans and spin - but Zelenskyy's reaction to Trump said it all

excerpt:

There was a memorable moment when Zelenskyy's poker face fell away. He shrugged, then laughed as Trump said: "Russia wants Ukraine to succeed."

What a profoundly stupid thing for the American president to say. Look at Vladimir Putin's actions. Listen to his words.

It's hard to know sometimes whether Trump is just ignorant, tuned out of the detail, or actually in Putin's pocket. Zelenskyy probably has a view but managed, just, to hold his decorum.

Trump's 'Liberation Day' Tariffs Worked — They Liberated Americans From Their Jobs

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s vaunted “Liberation Day” tariffs have worked — if liberating Americans from their jobs was the actual goal.

The nation’s manufacturing sector, the very one Trump purportedly wanted to help with his import taxes, has instead been losing jobs every single month since he announced them in April. In all, there are now 67,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than when he imposed tariffs on most imports.

That result is exactly the opposite of what Trump promised and predicted when he announced them on April 2"

 

Trump's 'America First' and 'Liberation Day' are estimated to have cost the U.S. tourism industry $21 billion in 2025.

In addition to the direct tourism losses are the colateral losses of associated businesses such as restaurants and hotels.

"Those injuries Trump has inflicted onto the U.S. during his second term come as the tourism industry was recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic that he exacerbated."

 

Joe Rogan trashes Donald Trump, questions if he’s losing it

excerpt:

Tom Segura said in the December 23 podcast: “This presidency, though, does feel like a parody of a real thing. Like, it doesn’t even feel real.”

Joe Rogan responded: “There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t feel real.”

 

Trump has been self-parody since 2015 when he launched his campaign.

It took Rogan and Segura.over ten years to figure it out.

 

Joe Rogan trashes Donald Trump, questions if he’s losing it

excerpt:

One of the sticking points has been Trump’s aggressive anti-immigration crackdown and his mass deportations in the U.S.—including some who had no criminal records in the country.

“I did not ever anticipate seeing that on TV on a regular basis,” Rogan said in a podcast episode in October talking about footage of immigration enforcement officers “ripping parents out of their communities.”

“I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals,” he said. “If you have been here for 25 years, you have a family, your kids go to school here, you speak the language…you’re just illegal, but you’re a contributing member to the community that up until now has been protected,” he added. “This is crazy.”

 

Trump promised a massive deportation crusade during his 2024 campaign. He wants tens of millions of people deported. Now Rogan is suprised that it's happening.

excerpt:

"The two comedians also laughed at the plaque placed under former President Ronald Reagan’s portrait, which says he was a “fan” of Trump."

 

Trump said he wanted White South African people who he says are being persecuted to come ot the U.S. as a safe haven.


White South African Who Came To U.S. After Trump Invite Has Been Detained For Months

excerpt:

"An Afrikaner who came to the U.S. after President Donald Trump claimed the country would be a safe haven for people like him has been held in federal detention for months since his arrival.

Benjamin Schoonwinkel came to the U.S. in September, believing he would be protected after Trump’s many statements to that effect. But on arriving at an Atlanta airport, he was detained and handcuffed by the U.S. border agents whom Schoonwinkel told he was seeking asylum."

 

Another example of why not to trust Trump on anything.

 

White South African Who Came To U.S. After Trump Invite Has Been Detained For Months

excerpt:

"Trump has taken steps to welcome them into the country in a series of moves. In February, he ordered that all foreign assistance to South Africa be halted and that the government promote the “resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination.” The president also claimed that the U.S. did not attend the Group of 20 (G20) held in South Africa last month because the government “refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Rights Abuses endured by Afrikaners."

 

Joe Rogan will be suprised at that one too.

 

Add 'staying alive' to those six.

It's readily evident that Trump's health is declining. Even Joe Rogan managed to notice.

In addition to wanting to finish his second term as president, Trump also needs to stay alive to avenge his felony conviction in NY. If he dies before exhausting all of his appeal options, he will permanently be a convicted felon in the history books without ever knowing if he would have been exonerated.

 

The Trump administration melded an embrace for stealing another country's oil and a disdain for illegal drugs, immigration, Iran, and China into a crusade against Venezuela that has turned into a centerpiece of his second term.


https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/...rump-maduro-oil-boat-strikes-immigration.html

excerpt:

As the strikes continue, Mr. Trump, Mr. Rubio and Mr. Miller have moved on to the next stage of the campaign against Mr. Maduro: seizing oil tankers to deprive Venezuela of revenue. They say Mr. Maduro must return oil and other assets “stolen” from the United States before they lift what Mr. Trump has referred to as a blockade.

In its first weeks, the tactic has shaken Venezuela’s economy by paralyzing its oil industry. Critics call it gunboat diplomacy or, as Mr. Maduro puts it, “a warmongering and colonialist pretense.”

 

Another potential advantage for Trump in the Venezuela crusade is that Venezuela might respond militarily which Trump can use as an excuse to start a significant war, which he can then use as an argument in court for trying to justifying deporting people via his invoking of the Alien Enemies Act which is supposed to be used in times of war.

Before Trump, the Alien Enemies Act has only been used three times when Congress formally declared a war (War of 1812, WWI, and WWII).

 

Trump claims attack on a dock in Venezuela; US strikes kill two in Pacific

excerpt:

“There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” Trump said as he met in Florida with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “They load the boats up with drugs, so we hit all the boats, and now, we hit the area. It’s the implementation area. That’s where they implement. And that is no longer around.”

Trump declined to say if the US military or the CIA had carried out the strike on the dock, or where it occurred.

“I know exactly who it was, but I don’t want to say who it was. But, you know, it was along the shore,” he said.
