Trump- the Disaster Years

Trump just wrapped up his Asia tour. While visiting Japan, he declared Toyota would be looking to invest $10 billion in the United States. Amidst his disastrous tariffs ( on Nov. 5 the Supreme Court will determine if he can legally make these tariffs ), it is important to go back to the basics. The Constitution gives Congress the power to regulate foreign commerce, impose tariffs, and collect revenue. It is one thing for Congress to pass legislation allowing Presidential intervention in certain circumstancs, quite another to allow the President to unilaterally decide what impacts the commerce of this country. What next, despite the Constitution, is Trump going to decide to overtake the Judicial branch and make his own decisions and not the courts? The Supreme Court better watch out, if they don't draw clear lines they are next. One way or another, he will unilaterally attempt to decide cases himself (Hasn't he already? Pardoning and commuting the sentences of violent Janua...

Staunch Trump supporter U.S. Representative Jim Jordan (defended Trump during impeachment inquiries, supported overturning the 2020 election results , and who received the Medal of Freedom from Trump), chairs the House Judiciary Committee. He said in an interview impeachment of judges who issue "stupid rulings thwarting President Trump" is "on the table." Impeachment is a mechanism to remove a judge or justice who commits serious criminal or ethical misconduct, it is not a mechanism for removing judges who issue unfavorable rulings. According to one news source, Republican lawmakers are targeting the following judges for impeachment: Paul Engelmeyer (limited DOGE's access to sensitive Treasury data), John Bates (ordered the Trump administration to restore health agency webpages), Amir Hatem Mahdi Ali (ordered the Trump administration to temporarily reinstate foreign aid funding) and John McConnell, Jr. (ordered the Trump administration to lift its federal spen...

Presidents of the United States do not use the military against their own cities. We have police for crime control. Police receive extensive training on how to effect crime control our military does not (yes, there are military police in the armed forces this is now what Trump is solely using). Today, Trump vows to "send more than the National Guard" into U.S. cities. What is the purpose? Well, the real purpose is to scare Democrats. So far, Trump has sent the National Guard only to Democratic cities: Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland (Oregon), and Memphis (Tennessee). According to 2024 FBI crime rates, the majority of Democrat run cities have crime rates similar to the Republican- affiliated mayor of cities (some cities elect their mayors with party affiliation). When you break it down to states, according to Congressional research, the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Trump exceeds the murder rate for the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden ev...

Canada is done playing kiss Donald Trump's ass. They released an Ontario ad airing actual Reagan quotes in 1987. Yet, Trump claims the Reagan ad is fake. You be the judge: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-claims-that-a-canadian-ad-was-misleading-about-reagans-tariff-warning. It appears, the Reagan Foundation is running scared despite the Ontario ad (they consulted their lawyers) replaying Reagan's exact words in the public domain. Many have ran scared of Trump's lawsuits. One thing for certain is truth is a defense to libel and slander. A quick AI dive reveals from 1973 until he was President in 2016, Trump was involved in over 4,000 legal cases. It is reported Trump loses 93% of the cases in court . More specifics on his lawsuits can be found here: https://www.usatoday.com/pages/interactives/trump-lawsuits/. Where there is smoke, there is fire. His lies and threats of lawsuits (to prevent exposing his lies) are intolerable.

While our government goes into day 25 of the shutdown with no end in sight, the previous reported number of $20 billion for aid to Argentina is incorrect. The Trump administration is looking to increase that number to $40 billion. Meanwhile, those on the Affordable Care Act may see their premiums go up 30%. The main reason for the shutdown is Trump and the Republicans are not in favor of renewing the expiring health insurance premium tax credits. An estimated 5 million Americans are expected to lose their health insurance without these tax credits in 2026. Trump's priority at the moment is tearing down the historic East Wing of the White House (traditionally where First Ladies conducted business) to build a huge ballroom Congress did not approve or appropriate funds for. The fact he is considering naming it after himself, no surprise. It is not possible for Trump to be more tone deaf to the needs of his people. Much like the aristocracy in the French Revolution, the Republi...

As of Oct. 19, 2025 Trump said the US military strikes on 5 Venezuelan boats have saved 100,000 lives. The true stats are about 25% of the time the Coast Guard boards a ship, there are no drugs. Drug experts confirm Venezuela plays a minor role in trafficking drugs to the US. Are these attacks legal? "At the international level, I have not seen a single international lawyer who thinks that it's permissible for a country to blow up the civilians of another country on the high seas unless they were actually posing an imminent attack." When two countries are at war, it is obvious these types of attacks occur. The US is not at war with Venezuela. If America's actions were legal, why did Trump release two survivors of a recent boat attack? Clearly, there was no legal reason to hold them. Another very bad sign Trump is not adhering to international laws on the seas, Admiral Alvin Holsey, who oversees the Southern Command, stepped down eight days ago as the Pentag...

So, Trump, by all accounts an exceptional con man and grifter, is now seeking $230 million in damages from the Justice Department. He wants the nation to forget the ethical conflicts of his former defense lawyers running the Justice Department. The Federal Tort Claims Act allows for monetary damages for "personal injury, property damage, or death" arising from the alleged negligence of federal employees acting within the scope of their official duties. What actually is happening? Well, for one it is a huge grift. Had Trump's investigations and subsequent prosecutions been allowed to conclude, I doubt Trump would have been found Not Guilty. In other words, of course the government does not owe him money for rightfullly investigating illegal activities (the classified documents found on his property seem to be a pretty open and shut case). Since, he was elected- that put an end to all his investigations and prosecutions, so here we are. We, the taxpayers, are being ...
