    Every day the list grows rapidly as Trump sticks it to his supporters. Let's start with the Fraternal Order of Police.

    Despite endorsing Trump, Fraternal Order of Police critiques his recent pardons
    Among the nearly 1,500 pardons included numerous people convicted of assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

    Months after endorsing now-President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, the Fraternal Order of Police issued a joint statement indicating it was "deeply discouraged" by recent pardons and commutations made by Trump and now-former President Joe Biden.

    In a joint statement with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the organizations said that individuals convicted of killing or assaulting police officers "should serve their full sentences."

    The statement came one day after President Trump issued nearly 1,500 pardons for those involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

    As of earlier this month, the Department of Justice had successfully prosecuted over 1,500 individual cases involving the Jan. 6 insurrection. Among them, there were 172 who pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement; 130 who pleaded guilty to obstructing law enforcement during a civil disorder; and 69 who pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement with a dangerous or deadly weapon.

    President Trump referred to those sentenced to crimes relating to the Jan. 6 insurrection as "hostages." He has indicated that he believes the convictions were politically motivated.

    According to the Biden administration's Department of Justice, 140 police officers were assaulted — including over 80 from the U.S. Capitol Police and over 60 from the Metropolitan Police Department.

    "Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety — they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families," the police organizations said in a joint statement. "When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence."

    In September, the Fraternal Order of Police officially endorsed Trump for the third consecutive presidential election.

    “Public safety and border security will be important issues in the last months of this campaign,” National President of the Fraternal Order of Police Patrick Yoes said in September. “Our members carefully considered the positions of the candidates on the issues and there was no doubt—zero doubt—as to who they want as our President for the next four years: Donald J. Trump.”

    The International Association of Chiefs of Police is a nonprofit organization barred from issuing political endorsements.

    Obama-Biden as the bad cop, Trump as the good cop.
    If you're not cop, you're little people and your iPhone is spying on you.

    There are other programs that Trump is going to cut that will hurt mostly the states that voted for Trump. For example, states that voted for Trump have the most EV investments/production and the most jobs in the EV production industry in the United States.

    The majority of investments are located in Georgia ($31.2 billion in EV factory investments), Michigan ($20.4 billion), North Carolina ($19.2 billion), Tennessee ($17.5 billion), Nevada ($15.4 billion), Kentucky ($13.7 billion), South Carolina ($13.6 billion), Ohio ($10.1 billion), Indiana ($9.3 billion), South Dakota (29 million)...​

    Soon that will be gone under Trump. These states will need to use state funds to fund their own EV production because the federal government will no longer be funding EV production as stated by Trump...allowing countries like China to get further ahead in EV production and futures electric vehicles. :(

    Trump is doing this by going after the EV tax credit, mandates for EV vehicles that depends upon EV investments, termination of the Green Deal (he calls it the New Scam ideas), NAVI forumula program and he halted programs in the Infrastructure Bill that had already begun repairing roads, bridges, removal of toxic lead pipes from urban/suburban/rural communities that's poisoning America's water supply.

    I recommend thread closure at this juncture. Trump approval is rising, not falling.

    Pardoning J6 rioters who beat cops was the right thing to do. How else will Trump show that loyalty to him is more valuable than to the law.

    good. People should pull themselves up from their bootstraps or be born to rich parents.

    supporting Elon is more important than the those communities. Those communities didn’t donate hundreds of millions of dollars and influence social media posts in those states to vote for Trump.
