Donald Trump

Thursday 2nd of October 2025

9/11 After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, Mr. Trump lined up a $150,000 grant for one of his buildings near ground zero [a 71-story skyscraper 8 blocks away], taking advantage of a program to help small businesses in the area recover, even though he had acknowledged on the day of the attacks that his building was undamaged. New York Times, Sepatember 17, 2016 © 2016 Kwiple.com
9/11 Nobody’s gotten to the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately. They should have, as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing, to our city, to our country, to the world. So nobody's really been there. But I can tell you that there are a lot of  really great people that are out here today. And we’re going to have a lot of fun and we’re going to celebrate.

2016 Presidential election In a choice between two aging boomers, victory went to the older and less evolved of the two.

2016 Presidential election The president's intense resistance to the assessment of U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia systematically interfered in the 2016 campaign – and the blame he cast instead on a rival country – led many of his advisers to think that Putin himself helped spur the idea of Ukraine's culp- ability, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. One former senior White House official said Trump even stated so explicitly at one point, saying he knew Ukraine was the real culprit because “Putin told me.” Washington Post, December 19, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com

2016 Presidential election Race definitely played a role in the 2016 election. I think race will always play a role in our country. It’s just sort of a constant fact of American life. And definitely some people who voted for Trump were racists, and they voted for him for racist reasons. J. D. Vance © 2024 Kwiple.com

2016 Presidential election To believe that Trump's presidency came out of nowhere, without warning, is the political version of creationism.  I, on the other hand, believe in devolution. The election of a serially bankrupt, functionally illiterate reality TV host was the logical consequence of the five decades preceding it, which, with apologies to Edith Wharton, I'll call the Age of Ignorance. Andy Borowitz, Profiles in Ignorance © 2023 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. ¶ Now some of those folks are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. … the other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they're just desperate for change. ¶ He seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead- end. Those are people we have to under- stand and empathize with as well.

2016 Presidential election What the geographic numbers do show is that the specific subset of Mr Trump's voters that won him the election – those in counties where he outperformed Mr Romney by large margins – live in communities that are literally dying. Even if Mr Trump's policies are unlikely to alleviate their plight, it is not hard to understand why they voted for change. Economist, November 19, 2016, commenting on the fact that an index of public-health statistics pertaining to life expectancy and the prevalence of diabetes, heavy drinking and obesity is an even better predictor of a county's change from 2012 to 2016 in the share of eligible voters that voted Republican than the % of non-college whites © 2016 Kwiple.com

2020 Presidential election Also at 2:24 p.m., knowing the riot was underway and that Vice President Pence was  at the Capitol, President Trump sent this tweet: Mike Pence didn't have have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth! Evidence shows that the 2:24 p.m. tweet immediately precipitated further violence at the Capitol. January 6 Commitee Report - Summary © 2022 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election An honorable man receiving the information and advice that Mr.Trump received from his campaign experts and his staff — a man who loved his country more than himself — would have conceded this election. Indeed, we know that a number of President Trump's closest aides urged him to do so.

2020 Presidential election At some point after 3:05 p.m. that afternoon, President Trump's Chief of Staff — and President Trump himself — were informed that someone was shot. That person was Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot at 2:44 p.m. as she and other rioters tried to gain access to the House chamber. There is no indication that this affected the President's state of mind that day, and we found no evidence that the President expressed any remorse that day.

2020 Presidential election The Defendant's conspiracy to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function through dishonesty, fraud, and deceit included the following manner and means: … false claims of election fraud … fraudulent slates of electors in seven targeted states … attemted to use the power and authority of the Justice  Department to conduct sham election crime inves- tigations and to send a letter to the targeted states that falsely claimed that the Justice Department had identified significant concerns  that may have impacted the election outcome … attempted to enlist the Vice President to use his ceremonial role at the January 6 certification proceeding to fraudulently alter the election re-  sults … convince Members of Congress to further delay the certification based on those claims United States of America v. Donald J. Trump © 2023 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election The district court did not err in concluding that the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, constituted an “insurrection.” The district court did not err in concluding that President Trump “engaged in” that insurrection through his personal actions.

2020 Presidential election The Committee's principal concern was that the President actually intended to participate personally in the January 6th efforts at the Capitol, leading the attempt to overturn the election either from inside the House Chamber, from a stage outside the Capitol, or otherwise. The Committee regarded these facts as important because they are relevant to President Trump's intent on January 6th. There is no question from all the evidence assembled that President Trump did have that intent. January 6 Commitee Report - Summary © 2022 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election [Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony] Ornato had access to intelligence that suggested violence at the Capitol on January 6th, and it was his job to inform [Chief of Staff Mark] Meadows and Trump of that. Although Ornato told us that he did not recall doing so, the Select Committee found multiple parts of Ornato's testimony questionable.  The Select Committee finds it difficult to believe that neither Meadows nor Ornato told Trump,  as was their job, about the intelligence that was emerging as the January 6th rally approached. … By the time President Trump was preparing to give his speech, he and his advisors knew enough to cancel the rally. And he certainly knew enough to cancel any plans for a march to the Capitol. January 6 Commitee Report - Summary © 2022 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election How did President Trump continue to make false allegatons despite all this unequivocal information? Trump sought out those who were not scrupulous with the facts, and were willing to be dishonest. He found a new legal team to assert claims that  his existing advisors and the Justice Department had specifically informed him were false. President Trump's new legal team, headed by Rudolph Giuliani, and their allies ultimately lost  dozens of lawsuits in Federal and state courts. … Indeed, eleven of the judges who ruled against  Donald Trump and his supporters were appointed  by Donald Trump himself. … Not a single witness — nor any combination of witnesses — provided  the Committee with evidence demonstrating that fraud occurred on a scale even remotely close to changing the outcome in any state.

2020 Presidential election I don't fucking care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.

Donald Trump, on January 6, 2021, in the tent before going on stage to speak at his rally in the Ellipse park between the White House and Constitution Avenue, angry at learning the park was half empty because many supporters refused to enter it after learning that Secret Service agents were scanning for weapons using magnetometers and confiscating those they found © 2022 Kwiple.com

2020 Presidential election In perhaps the most chilling moment of the hearing, Cheney spoke of former White House officials' testimony about Trump's bloodthirstiness toward his own vice president. “Aware of the rioters' chants to hang Mike Pence, the president responded with this sentiment, quote, ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea.’ Mike Pence, quote, ‘deserves it.’” Dana Mibank, Washington Post, June 9 2022, on the opening public hearing of the  Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol © 2022 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election In short, you were at the center of the first and only effort by any U.S. President to overturnn an election and obstruct the peaceful transfer of power, ultimately culminating in a bloody attack on our own Capitol and on Congress itself. The evidence demonstrates that you knew this activity was illegal and unconstitutional, and also knew that your assertions of fraud were false. But to be clear, even if you now claim that you actually believed your own false election claims, that is not a defense; your subjective belief could not render this conduct justified, execusable, or legal.

2020 Presidential election In the committee's hearings, we presented evidence of what ultimately became a multi-part plan to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. That evidence has led to an overriding and straight-forward conclusion: the central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed. None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him. January 6 Commitee Report - Summary © 2022 Kwiple.com
2020 Presidential election It is almost impossible for Mr Trump to disappoint people. They never had hopes to dash. … Many others never believed that he or anyone else could, in that tellingly vague aspiration, make America great again. Their vote was more a howl against perceived national decline than a calculated attempt to arrest it. They are not standing over his shoulder with key performance indicators. That would imply some hope in the first place. Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, January 1, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com

2020 Presidential election No intelligence collection was apparently performed on President Trump's plans for January 6th, nor was there any analysis performed on what he might do to exacerbate potential violence. … And, on January 4, 2021, another rally organizer texted Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO, that President Trump would “unexpectedly” call on his supporters to march on the Capitol: This stays only between us … it can not get out about the march because I will be in trouble with the national park service and all the agencies but POTUS is going to just call for it “unexpectedly.” January 6 Commitee Report - Summary © 2021 Kwiple.com

2020 Presidential election President Trump is wrong: I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And, frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person can choose the American president. Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of the election.

2020 Presidential election United States House of Representatives Reso- lution 503 instructs the Select Committee to  Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol ("Select Committee") to investi- gate the facts, circumstances, and causes of the January 6th attack and issues relating to the peaceful transfer of power. Pursuant to that directive, we have interviewed thousands of wit- nesses, reviewed over a million documents, con- ducted public hearings, and vindicated our right in court against those who have tried to keep relevant information from the Select Committee. As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power.

2020 Presidential election A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year would pass before prose- cutors and FBI agents jointly embarked on a formal probe of actions directed from the White House to try to steal the election. Even then, the FBI stopped short of identifying the former president as a focus of that investigation. … The Justice Department's painstaking approach to investigating Trump can be traced to [Attorney General Merrick] Garland’s desire to turn the page from missteps, bruising attacks and allegations of partisanship in the depart- ment’s recent investigations of both Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election  and Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

Campaign finance While it is true that he [Trump] hasn't taken corporate money, the implication that he has personally spent 20 to 25 million dollars is a bit of a stretch because what he's actually done is loaned his own campaign 17 and a half million dollars and personally given just $250,000. That's important because up until the convention, he can pay himself back the loan with campaign funds. And if you don't think there's a significant difference between a gift and a loan, try giving your spouse an anniversary loan and see how that goes.

Economic growth We have an economy that’s so fragile, and the only reason it’s running now  is it’s running off the fumes of what we did. It’s just running off the fumes. And when there’s a crash — I hope  it’s going to be during this next 12 months  because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover. Donald Trump, January 8, 2024, hoping for an economic disaster for millions because he thinks it's good for him politically [Trump and Hoover are the only presidents to leave office with fewer people employed  than when they entered —  2 million in his case.

Elites The most important social tensions are within the elite — not, as a decade of populism has pretended, between the elite and the people.  The person likeliest to tear down a nation's establishment is a half-member of it. He or she is close enough to have felt its condescension (which must be largely theoretical for a total outsider) and to know its weak points. Donald Trump, disdained as a bridge-and-  tunnel vulgarian for all his material privilege, is the most famous example. Janan Ganesh, Financial Times, February 16, 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com

Fascism It matters less than we might think whether Trump or any other figure is “fascist” in some academic sense. The real question is moral – do we see their policies as morally acceptable? And if history teaches anything, it is that people who called themselves neither fascist or Nazi were capable of complicity in repugnant acts. Kevin Passmore, The Guardian, November 7, 2016 © 2017 Kwiple.com
Fascism Trump can be called a fascist because he differed from any previous American president in having the explicit goal of destroying democracy at home, disengaging America from democratic international networks, and allying with the autocrats he admires, like Putin. As for other autocrats, the presidency was just a means for Trump to achieve his real goals: self-enrichment and self-protection. Ruth Ben-Ghiat © 2024 Kwiple.com

Freedom of speech The Defendant had a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election and even to claim, falsely, that there had been outcome-determinative fraud during the election and that he had won. He was also entitled to formally challenge the results of the election through lawful and appropriate means, such as by seeking recounts or audits of the popular vote in states or filing lawsuits challenging ballots and procedures. Indeed, in many cases, the Defendant did pursue these methods of contesting the election results. His efforts to change the outcome in any state through recounts, audits, or legal challenges were uniformly unsuccessful. United States of America v. Donald J. Trump © 2023 Kwiple.com

Losers In fact, year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than any other individual American taxpayer, the Times found when it compared his results with detailed information the I.R.S. compiles on an annual sampling of high-income earners. His core business losses in 1990 and 1991 – more than $250 million each year – were more than double those of the nearest taxpayers in the I.R.S. information for those years. Over all, Mr. Trump lost so much money that he was able to avoid paying income taxes for eight of the 10 years. New York Times, May 8, 2019, on his IRS transcripts from 1985 to 1994 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Losers More than 500,000 individual taxpayers took advantage of the same tax rule as Mr. Trump in 1995, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The average loss they claimed, however, was just $97,600. Mr. Trump's $916 million loss accounted for almost 2 percent of the national total.

National security [Special counsel Jack] Smith’s job is straight- forward.

Second, when he was caught, he persistently made up excuses, lied and tried to cover up his behavior, which he continues to do. … It is impossible to overstate how essential it will be for Mr. Smith to … persuade the trial jury … he committed serious criminal acts.

Pardons and commutations He [Giuliani] also asked Ms. Dunphy if she knew anyone in need of a pardon, telling her that he was selling pardons for $2 million, which he and President Trump would split.

Penny pinchers in 1990, Trump and Khashoggi were again linked through a prank designed to find out who was the cheapest rich person in New York. The satirical magazine Spy created a phony business and sent $1.11 refund checks to fifty-eight rich New Yorkers. Those who cashed the checks then got another refund check from the fake firm for half as much money. The prank ended when only two self-proclaimed billionaire penny pinchers Donald Trump and Adnan Khashoggi had the dubious distinction of endorsing and depositing into their bank accounts fake refund checks for thirteen cents each.

Populism What does he think Trump has that the others lacked, I ask? The short answer is that Trump understood that that America's “aspirational” working class had become “desperational”. Edward Luce, from his interview with Anthony Scaramucci © 2018 Kwiple.com
Populist leaders Notice how many populist leaders are what might be called relative  outsiders. Privileged by almost all standards, these people feel shut out of what they regard as the true in-crowd. Nigel Farage: a former stockbroker, but also a non-graduate and much-mocked seven-time loser of elections to parliament. Boris Johnson: Etonian and Oxonian but neither posh nor rich. Marine Le Pen: a dynast, but not one who passed through France’s top school for technocrats. And then the ultimate case in point: Donald Trump, an outer-borough arriviste, ridiculed by the smart set for his ghastly taste and paprika tan.

Populists say It's not just the political system that's rigged. It's the whole economy.

It's rigged against you, the American people. Donald Trump © 2017 Kwiple.com

Presidency Donald Trump did not — and does not — recognize any distinction between himself and the office of the presidency. He is it, and it is him. This view is as close a fundamental rejection of American constitutionalism as you can imagine — and it helps explain much of the former president’s behavior in and out of office. It is why he could not abide any opposition to anything he tried to  pursue, why he raged against the “deep state,” why he strained against every limit on his authority, why he rejected the very idea that he could lose the 2020 presidential election and why he decided he could simply take classified documents to his home in Florida.

This started during the campaign, when he called upon the Russians to steal and release his opponent's emails, and has continued during his presidency, as he equivocates on whether foreign intervention occurred and smears intelligence professionals who stand by the facts.

The  scandal In 2016, Vladimir Putin's regime mounted information warfare against the United States, in part to help Trump become pres- ident. While this attack was underway, the Trump crew tried to collude covertly with Moscow, sought to set up a secret communications channel with Putin's office, and repeatedly denied in public that this assault was happening, providing cover to the Russian operation. Trump and his lieutenants aligned themselves with and assisted a foreign adversary, as it was attacking the United States. The evidence is rock-solid: They committed a profound act of betrayal.

Snapshot The president has first and foremost his interests at the top of his mind, as opposed to the government's. That's very clear over the past week and a half, between shitting on our NATO allies and kissing Putin's ass. He cares more about himself than the nation and any of us who serve it. Either he's compromised by Putin or he's a pussy, in which case he should grab himself.

Snapshot Donald Trump is a “legal alien.” That's right, the man who has spent the last year railing against those dastardly “illegal aliens” supposedly wreaking havoc on our country turns out to be a legal alien – someone born in America but whose values are completely alien to all that has made this country great.

Snapshot  Trump is susceptible to such giveaways, not only because he is ignorant, but because he does not see himself as the president of the United States. He sees himself as the president of his base. And because that's the only support he has left, he feels the need to keep feeding his base by fulfilling crude, ill-conceived promises he threw out to them during the campaign.

Snapshot What Mr Trump has in common with Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, is less ideology than a bone-deep aversion to being disliked. Tellingly, their nationalism tends not to appeal to duty and sacrifice as much as a can-do bullishness. It makes them both world-class boosters. And reluctant bearers of bad news. Donald Trump portrayed by Janan Ganesh, March 25, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com
Snapshot Trump does much more than appeal to emotion. He insists that, in politics, emotion is all there is.  He interprets liberty as freedom from facts.

His reply: “It didn't smell right.” Donald Trump portrayed by Megan Garber, The Atlantic, January/February 2024 © 2024 Kwiple.com

Snapshot Donald Trump was fired by 81 million people, so let’s be clear about that, and clearly he is having a very difficult time processing that, but we cannot afford to have a President of the United States who attempts, as he did in the past, to upend the will of the voters in a free and fair election.

Snapshot The characteristics of Trump's leadership, blazingly evident during the first three years of his presidency, had deadly ramifications in his final year. He displayed his ignorance, his rash temper, his pettiness and pique, his malice and cruelty, his utter absence of empathy, his narcissism, his transgressive personality, his disloyalty, his sense of victmhood, his addiction to television, his suspicion and silencing of experts, and his deception and lies. Each trait thwarted the response of the world's most powerful nation to a lethal threat. Donald Trump portrayed by Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker in I Alone Can Fix It © 2021 Kwiple.com
Snapshot This wss one of the traits that had led Trump to the White House on full display: his extraordinary capacity to say things that were not true. He always seemed to to have complete conviction in whatever product he was selling or argument he was making. He had an uncanny ability to say with a straight face, things that are not as you've been told or even as you've seen with your own eyes. He could commit to a lie in the frame of his body and in the timbre of his voice so fully, despite all statistical and even video evidence to the contrary.

Snapshot There is very little by way of a narrative arc to Trump's consciousness. Instead, he lives in the angry contractual moment, moment to moment, deal-making scene to deal-making scene, episodic – more like an episode of Seinfeld than a feature-length movie.

Snapshot The president's primary problem as a leader is not that he is impetuous, brash or naive. It's not that he is inexperienced, crude, an outsider. It is that he is weak and sniveling. It is that he undermines himself almost daily by ignoring traditional norms and forms of American masculinity. He's not strong and self-controlled, not cool and tough, not low-keyed and determined: he's whiny, weepy and self-pitying. He throws himself, sobbing, on the body politic. He's a drama queen.

Snapshot The way that Mr Trump worked was as a fictional character. There is no Mr Trump, successful buinessman. That person never walked the earth. There is Mr Trump, successful entertainer. There is Mr Trump, purveyor of spectacle. And in 2015 and well into 2016, this was very attractive to the major television networks. Today, Mr. Trump complains unceasingly about them and says they're sources of “fake news” and so on, but, if it weren't for the couple billion of dollars in free coverage that they gave him in 2015 and 2016, he never would have had a chance.

Snapshot He lives in the 1950s. In those days, things were made in one country – usually America – and then sold in another – preferably just about everywhere else. The modern world of bits and pieces, with components and semi-finished products moving to and fro across borders, does not fit the president's template.

Snapshot There is nothing strange or unexpected about Donald Trump. He is the logical conclusion of what the Republican Party became over the last fifty or so years, a natural product of the seeds of race, self-deception, and anger that became the essense of the Republican Party.

Snapshot In Trump,  the age of unreason has at last found its hero. The “self-made man” is always the idol of those who aren’t quite making it.  He is the sacred embodiment of the American dream, the guy who answers to nobody, the poor man's idea of a rich man. It's the educated phonies this group can't stand. With his utter lack of policy knowledge and belligerent commitment to maintaining his ignorance, Trump is the perfect represen- tative for a population whose idea of good  governance is just to scramble the eggheads. When reason becomes the enemy of the common man, the common man becomes the enemy of reason. Donald Trump portrayed by Matthew Stewart © 2020 Kwiple.com

Treason The notion that America's president could be an agent of the Kremlin is so outlandish that it is almost self-discrediting. People who happily speculate about UFOs, or an inside job on 9/11, steer clear of portraying Mr Trump as the Manchurian candidate. To float the idea is to risk being labelled a conspiracy theorist. In private, however, it is a serious topic. Edward Luce, Financial Times chief US commentator, January 18, 2019 © 2019 Kwiple.com
Trump's philosophy of life It's called “get even.” Get even. This isn't your typical business speech. What this is, is a real business speech. You know in all fairness to Wharton, I love ’em, but they teach you some stuff that's a lot of bullshit. When you're in business, you get even with people that screw you. And you screw them 15 times harder. And the reason is, the reason is, the reason is, not only, not only, because of the person that you're after, but other people watch what's happening.

Tweeting  Why does Donald Trump tweet so much? Why do his supporters love it when he does? It is because a tweet gives the illusion of a direct relationship between leader and follower. For the follower, the tweet is addressed just to him- or herself with no intermediary. The follower imagines a personal relationship with the president. The pretense of presence and the person- alization of power go hand in hand.  Albert Weale, The Will of the People  © 2019 Kwiple.com

Ukraine Obama looked at Ukraine [after Russia seized Crimea in 2014] and asked, “What’s in it for us?” Trump looked at Ukraine and asked [in trying to shake down Zelensky], “What’s in it for me?” For neither president was the question of staving off another Russian invasion, much less of encouraging Ukraine's democratic development, a particular priority.
