loser Donald J. Trump Page at Spirit of America Bookstore

Republican Donald Trump is a fascist and a multiple bankrupt and a racist and a crook and a sexist pig;
the really sad part is that Trump was the best that the Republican Party could come up with to run for President of the U.S.A. in 2016.
And then a large number of racist, xenophobic, reality-averse dimwits elected the man President!

If Donald Trump was a legitimate official under the U.S. Constitution, the original real estate tycoon Donald J. Trump Page would include
his term as President. But things as they are require a split: the second page is for Emperor Trump and his fascist administration;
(with supplemental pages), and this third page will describe his subsequent banishment and deterioration.

Emperor Trump's Cabinet
and Other Appointments
What with all the resignations and firings and re-appointments, this section grew large enough to justify its own page, so the detail - cabinet-level
& other appointments, White House personnel, Trump's legal team - was cut in June 2018.

2018 January: Emperor Trump's lawyers issued an un-Constitutional 'cease and desist' letter against a book by journalist Michael Wolff which reports on six months of direct access to the internal mess that is the Trump White House. The media frenzy created 'unprecedented demand', so the publisher moved the publication date from Tuesday January 9 to Friday January 5 - making the lawyers's letter entirely moot and the book an immediate Amazon bestseller.

2018 Jan 30: Emperor Trump's first State of The Union address, before Congress and on live television (the usual blah-blah-blah). He tweeted next day that his audience of 45.6 million people was the highest number in history. Not true: his own address to a joint session of Congress in 2017 had 48 million viewers, Barack Obama's joint session speech in 2009 drew 52 million viewers, George W. Bush's State of the Union address in 2003 drew 62 million viewers, and Bill Clinton's joint session speech in 1993 drew 67 million viewers.

2018 Feb 2:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index closed at $25,520.96, down 665.75 points (2.54%), the S&P 500 fell 2.12 percent, and the NASDAQ 5-day loss was 3.53% – making this the worst week for market measures in two years.

2018 Feb 5:

Another really bad market day: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index closed at $24,345.75, down 1,175.21 points (4.60%!), the S&P 500 Index closed at $2,648.94 - a loss of $113.19 (4.10%), and the NASDAQ Composite Index fell 273.42 points (3.78%) to close at $6,967.53.

"If the Dow Joans ever falls more than 1,000 'points' in a Single Day the sitting president should be loaded
into a very big cannon and Shot into the sun at TREMENDOUS SPEED! No Excuses!" {sic}
— tweet from {hash} realDonaldTrump on 29 February 2015

2018 Feb 8:

Still another really bad market day: The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index closed at $23,860.46, down 1,032.89 points (4.15%!), the S&P 500 Index closed at $2,581.00 - a loss of $100.66 (3.75%), and the NASDAQ Composite Index fell 274.82 points (3.90%) to close at $6,777.16. Global stocks followed, sinking on Friday. The losses left the S&P 10 percent below its January high, the official threshold of a market correction.

2018 Feb 22: Amnesty International officially declared Donald Trump a human rights violator.

Late on 2018 March 16: Emperor Trump fired F.B.I. Deputy Director Andrew McCabe - by tweet! - just two days before his pension date.

2018 April 9: F.B.I. agents raided the office, home, and hotel room of Trump's longtime personal attorney Michael D. Cohen; the material seized included documents related to Cohen's $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels; Cohen reportedly is being investigated for bank and wire fraud, and for campaign finance violations.

2018 June 14: The New York State Attorney General’s office filed a scathingly-worded lawsuit taking aim at the Donald J. Trump Foundation, accusing the charity and the Trump family of sweeping violations of campaign finance laws, self-dealing, and illegal coordination with the presidential campaign.

2018 July 13:

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced criminal charges from the Mueller investi-gation against 12 named Russian intelligence officers in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign during 2016.

2018 Nov 28: article "Farm Bankruptcies Have Now Surpassed Great Recession Levels" by Anthony Anderson

2018 Dec 22: Trump Shutdown #3 began at Midnight on the morning of Saturday after the Senate adjourned Friday without passing a stopgap funding measure that Trump would sign; closures to unfunded departments include Homeland Security, Transportation, Commerce, Interior, Agriculture, Housing & Urban Development, and Justice – as well as some independent agencies like N.A.S.A. and the I.R.S.

2019 Jan 7: Kim Campbell, who was Canada’s Prime Minister in 1993, added to the Twitterverse 'foul language' controversy by posting that “[Trump] really IS a motherf**ker”.

2019 Jan 21: President Trump made 8,158 false or misleading claims in his first two years in office - in Year One, he averaged 5.9 lies per day; in Year Two, that nearly tripled to 16.5 lies per day. ~~ per The Washington Post

2019 Jan 31:

After years of Donald's denials of business dealings in Russia, somebody 'leaked' video of Himself meeting with Vladimir Resin, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow, in December 1995 concerning a shopping mall construction project; the half-minute news clip is in Russian, and the video clearly shows Donald seated directly across from the Deputy Mayor. Watch the nice February 7th commentary video on the David Pakman Show podcast [5:46].

2019 Feb 5:

Buzzfeed posted more than 200 pages of communications between Trump's former attorney Michael D. Cohen and America-based former Russian mobster Felix Sater, clearly showing the conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

2019 Feb 5: Emperor Trump's bogus State of The Union Address was delivered before a joint session of Congress; it attracted 46.8 million viewers on 7 channels; the official Democratic Party response from Stacey Abrams also drew substantial viewership with 14.4 million watching on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN {incomplete best numbers 2/9}.

2019 May 6: Michael D. Cohen, President Trump's former lawyer and fixer, reported to a Federal country club-style prison in upstate Otisville, New York to begin serving a 3-year prison sentence for crimes that included campaign finance violations related to hush-money payments he made on Trump's behalf.

2019 July 4: Emperor Trump's Military Parade in Washington, DC was originally scheduled for Veterans Day in November 2018; veterans groups organized a protest in Washington, DC that same day by millions of unhappy veterans - hashtag-1MillionVeteransMarch; the Pentagon got wind of the veterans' protest and moved the parade to Saturday the 10th, which is an anniversary of the Marine Corps, so the veterans groups did likewise; in August 2018, the Pentagon raised the parade cost estimate to $92M and also postponed the event into 2019. In March 2019, Trump announced that his big vanity tribute parade 'Salute To America' would be held on July Fourth.

2019 July 10: After the rain-drenched 'Salute To America' events, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser wrote to President Trump that expenses related to security at his parade had exhausted the Emergency Planning and Security Fund and that the White House owed $1.7 million for its security costs; the White House still owes $7.3 million for security costs related to Trump’s 2017 presidential inauguration.

2019 July 11: The House Judiciary Committee voted 21 to 12 to subpoena twelve people for documents and testimony for their investigation into the results of the Mueller Report. Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler [Dem-NY] will make the final decision about issuing the subpoenas, which can be avoided if witnesses and the administration cooperate voluntarily. Listed persons include the president’s son-in-law & adviser Jared Kushner, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former White House chief of staff John Kelly, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, Sessions’ former chief of staff Jody Hunt, former White House aides Rob Porter and Rick Dearborn, and three people connected to the National Enquirer’s efforts to stifle potentially-embarrassing stories about Trump, a practice known as 'catch-and-kill': longtime Trump ally David Pecker, TV executive Dylan Howard, and attorney Keith Davidson.

2019 July 25:

Trump's phone call with the President of Ukraine, along with many witnesses, wherein Trump asked for help in finding dirt on campaign opponent Joe Biden and committing extortion by refusing military aid funds approved by Congress; the coverup so far includes crimes of obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, and 'campaign contribution' bribery of House members.

2019 Sept 24: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi conferred with fellow members of Congress and then announced that the Democrats will proceed with formal impeachment hearings, likely to involve the recent Trump/Ukraine telephone call revelations as well as the contents of the Mueller Report.

2019 Oct 31: The U.S. House of Representatives approved a resolution formally authorizing and articulating guidelines for the next phase of its impeachment inquiry, slyly agreeing to Republican demands for transparency: their bogus excuse is now removed, and the Republicans will have to obey Congressional subpoenas. The vote was 232 to 196.

2019 Nov 2: Donald Trump and entourage attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship #244 mixed martial arts event at Madison Square Garden in New York City and was loudly booed by fight fans.

2019 Dec 12: Mike Huckabee said that he is in charge of Donald Trump's re-election campaign for 2024!
Donald Trump Is Going To Jail

2021 Jan 6: Donald Trump gave a speech to the mob gathered in Washington, DC inciting them to violence on his behalf. The subsequent ruckus left five Americans dead and is widely known as the January 6th Capitol Riot. (By the end of April, the F.B.I. and other agencies had indicted 400 participants in that riot.)

2021 late Friday Jan 8: Twitter permanently suspended President Trump's account, citing 'the risk of further incitement of violence'; Trump's account was quickly wiped from the site.

2021 Sun Jan 10: Following Wednesday's violent siege of the Capitol, payment-processing company Stripe will no longer process payments for President Trump's campaign.

2021 Mon Jan 11: House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment accusing President Trump of inciting an insurrection aiming to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden.

2021 Monday Jan 11: The decision by the Professional Golfers Association [est. 1916] to move the 2022 P.G.A. Championship from Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey to some other location may have upset the president as much as any other recent event; a source close to the White House said that Trump is 'gutted' by the move, and while he's angry about the House moving forward with a second impeachment, his reaction to losing the tournament was a 'different order of magnitude'.

2021 late Monday Jan 11: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump's biggest lender, decided against doing further business with him or his companies following last week's deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of pro-Trump terrorists - Trump owes the German lender more than $300 million. Signature Bank, a New York lender that has long worked with Trump's family, said it was closing two personal accounts that held about $5.3 million of Trump's money.

2021 Tue Jan 12: House Democrats introduced a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to declare Trump unfit and remove him from office; Democrats were hoping for a unanimous vote, but most Republicans voted against; the final tally was 220-204.

2021 Wed Jan 13 about 1pm EST:

President Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for the second time; the charge is that he "threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government", doing so in a way that rendered him "a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution" if he were allowed to complete his term. Trial in the Senate was an unknown at this point.

2021 Wed Jan 13: New York City announced that it would end its contracts with the Trump Organization, which include running ice skating rinks, a carousel, and a golf course for the city; Mayor Bill de Blasio said that 'inciting an insurrection against the U.S. government clearly constitutes criminal activity', and that that disqualified Trump's company from doing any work for the city.

2021 Tue Jan 19: President Trump said in a videotaped 'farewell address' released late Tuesday that "the movement we started is only just beginning". He did not mention President-elect Joe Biden by name, but Trump said that he was preparing to "hand power over to a new administration at noon Wednesday", and extended his "best wishes". Trump also touted his economic and foreign policy record, and criticized the deadly January 6th attack against the U.S. Capitol that led the House to impeach him on the charge of inciting an insurrection. "Political violence is an attack on everything [that] we cherish as Americans," Trump said. "It can never be tolerated." Trump also called for Americans to set aside political rancor.

2021 Wed Jan 25: The U.S. Supreme Court brought an end to lawsuits over whether Donald Trump illegally profited off his presidency. The justices threw out Trump’s challenge to lower court rulings that had allowed lawsuits to go forward alleging that he violated the Constitution’s emoluments clause by accepting payments from foreign and domestic officials who stay at the Trump International Hotel and patronize other businesses owned by the former president and his family; SCOTUS also ordered the lower court rulings thrown out as well and directed appeals courts in New York and Richmond, Virginia to dismiss the suits as moot now that Trump is no longer in office. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to block the Manhattan district attorney’s enforcement of a subpoena for his tax returns, and lower courts are weighing congressional subpoenas for Trump’s financial records. The justices also have before them Trump’s appeal of a decision forbidding him from blocking critics on his Twitter account; like the emoluments cases, Trump’s appeal would seem to be moot now that he is out of office and also had his Twitter account suspended.

. . . looking forward to former President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial on February 8th

2021 Feb 25-28:

Thousands of mask-less conservatives flocked to Orlando, Florida for the 4-day Conser-vative Political Action Conference (CPAC) where they - among other things - worshipped a shiny golden idol of Donald Trump. Keynote speaker Trump delivered a ~~speech~~ rant that was a 'flat declaration that he plans to continue to dominate Republican politics rather than attempt to become a semi-retired statesman'. "We will take back the House, we will win the Senate, and then a Republican president will make a triumphant return to the White House." - 'Trump’s strategy for returning to power is already clear: The former President is positioning himself and his audience as the only true Americans.'

2021 May 5:

Facebook's Oversight Board announced that it has decided to uphold the platform's suspension of Trump. At the same time, the board also ruled that it 'was not appropriate' for Facebook to indefinitely suspend Trump because it's "not permissible for Facebook to keep a user off the platform for an undefined period, with no criteria for when or whether the account will be restored". The board called for Facebook to "reexamine the arbitrary penalty it imposed" on Trump and decide on an "appropriate penalty" within six months. (see June 4)

2021 May 6: Twitter suspended an account that was relaying posts from former President Donald Trump's new blog, on the grounds that it violated the company's rules against sidestepping its bans. Facebook is still mulling whether to some day lift its ban of Trump, but Twitter made Trump's suspension permanent in the days after the January 6th Capitol riot. The new Trump account was {at}DJTDesk, short for his new 'From The Desk of Donald J. Trump' web page.

2021 June 2: Former President Donald Trump's weblog "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump", which he launched in May to share statements with supporters, has been permanently shut down; a senior aide confirmed that the blog 'will not be returning'.

2021 June 4: Facebook suspended former President Donald Trump for 2 years in response to the Oversight Board ruling (ending in January 2023).
Donald Trump Finally Gets Indicted

2022 Monday Aug 8: F.B.I. badge

F.B.I. agents searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida and seized numerous classified and top-secret papers among 10,000 documents that should have been returned to the National Archives. {Are we going to call this 'Mara-A-Lago-Gate' ?}

2022 Tuesday September 20: the former president and Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. were indicted on charges of business fraud by the New York Attorney General; the suit alleges that the Trump family flagrantly manipulated property valuations to deceive lenders, insurance brokers, and tax authorities. (This was 608 days after Donald Trump left office as U.S. President.)

2022 Friday Nov 11: Lawyers for former President Trump filed a federal lawsuit to try and void a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 seeking personal testimony and documents from the former president related to the events of that day; the suit argues that the committee's subpoena was invalid because the former president had 'absolute testimonial immunity' from the committee.

2022 Tue Nov 15: Traitor & criminal Donald Trump is so out of touch with reality that he announced that he is running for President in 2024; the three major broadcast networks did not show the debacle live; the speech was nearly incoherent. Next day, C.N.N. reported on the top twenty lies from that speech.

2022 Wed Nov 30: The U.S. House Ways & Means Committee received several years of former President Trump's tax returns from the Treasury Department, ending a three-year legal battle. The news came after the Supreme Court last week rejected Trump's challenge of a lower court's ruling that the House had the authority to get the documents from the Internal Revenue Service. Trump had argued that no Congress had "ever wielded its legislative powers to demand a president's tax returns," and that setting this precedent would have "far-reaching implications". House Democrats fought for the returns, saying they needed them to review the I.R.S.'s presidential audits; Trump's lawyers said lawmakers wanted the returns for political purposes.

2022 4:45am Sat Dec 3:

Former President Trump tweeted on his UntruthSocial platform that we should 'terminate' the U.S. Constitution, and after the usual uproar from both sides, denied that he ever said such a thing. Here is a

of his tweet.

2024 July 13: first assassination attempt

A lone shooter fired five rounds from an assault rifle at a rally for presidential candidate Donald Trump in Butler, PA around 6pm ET. Trump was wounded in the right ear and was hurried off the stage by Secret Service agents. The shooter was quickly killed by Secret Service and later identified as a 20-year-old registered Republican; one person in the bleachers behind the podium was killed and two others seriously wounded.

2024 July 15-18: Republican Party National Convention at the Fiserv Forum arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Donald Trump chose hillbilly Sen. J.D. Vance from Ohio as his running mate.

Convention speakers included Cong. Marjorie Taylor Greene [GOP GA-14], former wrestler Hulk Hogan, Charlie Kirk (Turning Point USA), Sean O’Brien (president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union), Holocaust denier & 'black nazi' North Carolina LtGov Mark Robinson

2024 Wed July 24: first assassination attempt

The House voted to create a bipartisan task force to investigate the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, as lawmakers seek answers and accountability after the Republican presidential nominee was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania; the resolution was approved in an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote of 416 to 0. The House task force, made up of seven Republicans and six Democrats, will issue a final report on its findings in December, 'including any recommendations for legislative reforms necessary to prevent future security lapses'.

8-28 Trump’s Arlington scandal gets worse and worse—and worse We’ve learned so much since Wednesday, and the details are despicable.

2024 Sept 15: second assassination attempt

Second Trump assassination attempt foiled; former president is safe. The FBI announced yesterday afternoon that it was “investigating a protective incident” involving Donald Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, FL. Sheriff Ric Bradshaw gave a news briefing in which he said the Secret Service agent patrolling “one hole ahead” of former President Trump saw a rifle barrel sticking out of the bushes toward the course and “immediately engaged that individual.” The suspect fled, but a witness was able to photograph the vehicle he escaped in, which led to his arrest. An AK-47-style rifle and a GoPro camera were recovered from the scene. Afterward, Trump sent an email to his mailing list saying, “I AM SAFE AND WELL” and “I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!” Who is the suspect? Law enforcement officials said the man who pointed the rifle and was arrested is Ryan Wesley Routh. The officials identified the suspect to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation. What has Trump said since the attempt? In an email to supporters, Trump said: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” What is Vice President Kamala Harris saying? Harris, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the presidential election, posted on X that she had been briefed on the reports of gunshots fired. “I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America.” We're learning more about the man arrested for allegedly attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course. The suspect, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, owns a small construction company in Hawaii that builds affordable housing. He has repeatedly criticized the former president for such things as Trump's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and the attack on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to CNN. Suspect in second attempted Trump assassination faces federal gun charges. The suspect arrested for allegedly trying to shoot former President Donald Trump on his Florida golf course, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, appeared in court yesterday and was charged with possession of a firearm while a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. As the Secret Service faces questions about its ability to keep the former president safe, court documents revealed that the suspect was near the golf course for almost 12 hours before being observed. 9-24 Man suspected of assassination attempt against Trump left a letter detailing his plans, prosecutors say Would-be Trump assassin detailed plans in a letter, prosecutors say. The man accused of trying to shoot former President Donald Trump on a Florida golf course, Ryan Wesley Routh, wrote a letter explaining his plans in the event of a failure, prosecutors said in a recent court filing. The letter, addressed to “The World,” said, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump” and offered $150,000 “to whomever can complete the job.” Prosecutors previously said that Routh, who was arrested and charged with two firearm crimes, may have been waiting near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club for 12 hours before being discovered. Yesterday, a judge ruled Routh should be held without bail pending his trial.

"In the darkness of the web, democracy was trumped by data." • Explosive documentary that follows the money in the 2016 election cycle to the elusive billionaire Robert Mercer, who bought Breitbart News and funded the effort while inserting Steve Bannon into the presidential campaign as its manager. Mercer-owned company Cambridge Analytica used data of millions of Americans – acquired from Facebook, Google, banks, credit companies, social security, and more – and tactics honed during the U.K.'s Brexit campaign to identify voters deemed 'most neurotic or worried', whom they believed could swing for Trump. In the days before the election, using
the little-known Facebook feature called 'dark posts', Cambridge Analytica deployed highly manipulative & personalized messages seen only one time by the user before disappearing. • 69-minute documentary film directed by Thomas Huchon

"2000 Mules" [D'Souza Media/Salem Media May 2022]

bogus '2000 Mules' documentary film by Dinesh D'Souza

A bogus documentary film created by Dinesh D'Souza that "~~exposes~~ fantasizes widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome"; movie features footage of voters dropping multiple ballots into walk-up ballot dropboxes, which is perfectly legal in all 50 states; movie is so lame that Fox News refused to promote it, so Cinemark Theaters chain chairman Lee Roy Mitchell arranged for the movie to be 'four-walled' at 169 locations • "All of the claims in this movie have been proven false." Anyone who pays money for this movie is dumber than Dipshit D'Souza! • Co-produced, co-written, co-directed, hosted & narrated by propagandist Dinesh D’Souza; co-written & co-directed by Debbie D'Souza & Bruce Schooley; featuring co-producer Catherine Engelbrecht, co-producer Gregg Phillips, co-director Debbie D'Souza, Dennis Prager, Larry Elder, Sebastian Gorka, Charlie Kirk, Eric Metaxas, Scott Walter, Hans von Spakovsky, Jacob Hyman, with archive/fake footage of Stacey Abrams, Bret Baier, Joe Biden, Wolf Blitzer, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, James O'Keefe, Joy-Ann Reid, Shepard Smith, Donald Trump, Chris Wallace, Mark Zuckerberg

"The Apprentice" [Rocket Science/ Briarcliff Ent. Oct 2024] 10/2024

The Apprentice biopic about young Donald Trump

cartoon about 'The Apprentice' biopic about young Donald Trump

The story of how a young Donald Trump started his real estate business in 1970s and '80s New York with the helping hand of infamous lawyer and political fixer Roy M. Cohn. Film earned only $150,000 on its first day, despite being in 1,750 theaters. • Donald Trump's 2024 election campaign commented on the movie: "This 'film' is pure malicious defamation, should never see the light of day and doesn't even deserve a place in the straight-to-DVD section of a bargain bin at a soon-to-be-closed discount movie store, it belongs in a dumpster fire." • Trump lost it over 'The Apprentice' film, to the director's delight: If Trump hates it so much it’s probably worth watching. • IMDb credits lists 45 co-producers; co-producer & director Ali Abbasi; co-produced & written by Gabriel Sherman; starring Sebastian Stan {as young Trump}, Jeremy Strong {as Roy M. Cohn [1927-86]}, Maria Bakalova {as Ivana Trump [1949-2022]}, Mark Rendall {as Roger Stone}, Emily Mitchell {as Ivanka Trump}, Martin Donovan, Catherine McNally, Charlie Carrick, Ben Sullivan, Joe Pingue, Jim Monaco, Bruce Beaton, Ian D.

Roy Cohn: You create your own reality. Truth is a malleable thing.
The first rule is: attack, attack, attack.
Rule two: admit nothing, deny everything.
Rule three: no matter what happens, you claim victory and never admit defeat.
