Indictments against Donald Trump - Wikipedia
Here are the key points from the page:
Trials and Convictions: Trump was convicted on all 34 charges in the New York trial2. The Florida case was dismissed, and the Georgia trial is paused.
Trump did not release his tax returns, contrary to the practice of every major candidate since 1976 and his promises in 2014 and 2015 to do so if he ran for office.[184][185] He said his tax returns were being audited, and that his lawyers had advised him against releasing them.
In October 2016, portions of Trump's state filings for 1995 were leaked to a reporter from The New York Times. They show that Trump had declared a loss of $916 million that year, which could have let him avoid taxes for up to 18 years.
In the C-SPAN "Presidential Historians Survey 2021",[714] historians ranked Trump as the fourth-worst president. He rated lowest in the leadership characteristics categories for moral authority and administrative skills.[715][716]
The Siena College Research Institute's 2022 survey ranked Trump 43rd out of 45 presidents. He was ranked near the bottom in all categories except for luck, willingness to take risks, and party leadership, and he ranked last in several categories.[717] In 2018 and 2024, surveys of members of the American Political Science Association ranked Trump the worst president in American history.[718][719]
Trump was the only president never to reach a 50 percent approval rating in the Gallup poll, which dates to 1938. His approval ratings showed a record-high partisan gap: 88 percent among Republicans and 7 percent among Democrats.[720] Until September 2020, the ratings were unusually stable, reaching a high of 49 percent and a low of 35 percent.[721] Trump finished his term with an approval rating between 29 and 34 percent—the lowest of any president since modern polling began—and a record-low average of 41 percent throughout his presidency.[720][722]
In Gallup's annual poll asking Americans to name the man they admire the most, Trump placed second to Obama in 2017 and 2018, tied with Obama for first in 2019, and placed first in 2020.[723][724] Since Gallup started conducting the poll in 1948, Trump is the first elected president not to be named most admired in his first year in office.[725]
A Gallup poll in 134 countries comparing the approval ratings of U.S. leadership between 2016 and 2017 found that Trump led Obama in job approval in only 29 countries, most of them non-democracies;[726] approval of U.S. leadership plummeted among allies and G7 countries. Overall ratings were similar to those in the last two years of the George W. Bush presidency.[727] By mid-2020, only 16 percent of international respondents to a 13-nation Pew Research poll expressed confidence in Trump, lower than China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Vladimir Putin.[728]
False or misleading statements
See also: False or misleading statements by Donald Trump
Fact-checkers from The Washington Post,[729] the Toronto Star,[730] and CNN[731] compiled data on "false or misleading claims" (orange background), and "false claims" (violet foreground), respectively.
As a candidate and as president, Trump frequently made false statements in public remarks[732][154] to an extent unprecedented in American politics.[732][733][734] His falsehoods became a distinctive part of his political identity.[733]
Trump's false and misleading statements were documented by fact-checkers, including at The Washington Post, which tallied 30,573 false or misleading statements made by Trump over his four-year term.[729] Trump's falsehoods increased in frequency over time, rising from about six false or misleading claims per day in his first year as president to 39 per day in his final year.[735]
Some of Trump's falsehoods were inconsequential, such as his repeated claim of the "biggest inaugural crowd ever".[736][737] Others had more far-reaching effects, such as his promotion of antimalarial drugs as an unproven treatment for COVID-19,[738][739] causing a U.S. shortage of these drugs and panic-buying in Africa and South Asia.[740][741] Other misinformation, such as misattributing a rise in crime in England and Wales to the "spread of radical Islamic terror", served Trump's domestic political purposes.[742] Trump habitually does not apologize for his falsehoods.[743]
Until 2018, the media rarely referred to Trump's falsehoods as lies, including when he repeated demonstrably false statements.[744][745][746]
In 2020, Trump was a significant source of disinformation on mail-in voting and the COVID-19 pandemic.[747][748] His attacks on mail-in ballots and other election practices weakened public faith in the integrity of the 2020 presidential election,[749][750] while his disinformation about the pandemic delayed and weakened the national response to it.[431][747]
Promotion of conspiracy theories
Main article: List of conspiracy theories promoted by Donald Trump
Before and throughout his presidency, Trump promoted numerous conspiracy theories, including Obama birtherism, the Clinton body count conspiracy theory, the conspiracy theory movement QAnon, the Global warming hoax theory, Trump Tower wiretapping allegations, a John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory involving Rafael Cruz, alleged foul-play in the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, alleged Ukrainian interference in U.S. elections, that Osama bin Laden was alive and Obama and Biden had members of Navy SEAL Team 6 killed,[751][752][753][754][755] and linking talk show host Joe Scarborough to the death of a staffer.[756] In at least two instances, Trump clarified to press that he believed the conspiracy theory in question.[753]
During and since the 2020 presidential election, Trump promoted various conspiracy theories for his defeat including dead people voting,[757] voting machines changing or deleting Trump votes, fraudulent mail-in voting, throwing out Trump votes, and "finding" suitcases full of Biden votes.[758][759]
Incitement of violence
Main article: Rhetoric of Donald Trump § Violence and dehumanization
Research suggests Trump's rhetoric caused an increased incidence of hate crimes.[760][761] During his 2016 campaign, he urged or praised physical attacks against protesters or reporters.[762][763] Numerous defendants investigated or prosecuted for violent acts and hate crimes, including participants of the January 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol, cited Trump's rhetoric in arguing that they were not culpable or should receive leniency.[764][765] A nationwide review by ABC News in May 2020 identified at least 54 criminal cases from August 2015 to April 2020 in which Trump was invoked in direct connection with violence or threats of violence mostly by white men and primarily against minorities.[766]
Social media
Main article: Social media use by Donald Trump
Trump's social media presence attracted worldwide attention after he joined Twitter in 2009. He tweeted frequently during his 2016 campaign and as president until Twitter banned him after the January 6 attack, in the final days of his term.[767] Trump often used Twitter to communicate directly with the public and sideline the press.[768] In June 2017, the White House press secretary said that Trump's tweets were official presidential statements.[769]
After years of criticism for allowing Trump to post misinformation and falsehoods, Twitter began to tag some of his tweets with fact-checks in May 2020.[770] In response, Trump tweeted that social media platforms "totally silence" conservatives and that he would "strongly regulate, or close them down".[771] In the days after the storming of the Capitol, Trump was banned from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other platforms.[772] The loss of his social media presence diminished his ability to shape events[773][774] and prompted a dramatic decrease in the volume of misinformation shared on Twitter.[775] Trump's early attempts to re-establish a social media presence were unsuccessful.[776] In February 2022, he launched social media platform Truth Social where he only attracted a fraction of his Twitter following.[777] Elon Musk, after acquiring Twitter, reinstated Trump's Twitter account in November 2022.[778][779] Meta Platforms' two-year ban lapsed in January 2023, allowing Trump to return to Facebook and Instagram,[780] although in 2024 Trump continued to call the company an "enemy of the people."[781]
Relationship with the press
Further information: Presidency of Donald Trump § Relationship with the news media
Trump talking to the press, March 2017
Trump sought media attention throughout his career, sustaining a "love-hate" relationship with the press.[782] In the 2016 campaign, Trump benefited from a record amount of free media coverage, elevating his standing in the Republican primaries.[151] The New York Times writer Amy Chozick wrote in 2018 that Trump's media dominance enthralled the public and created "must-see TV."[783]
As a candidate and as president, Trump frequently accused the press of bias, calling it the "fake news media" and "the enemy of the people".[784][785] In 2018, journalist Lesley Stahl said that Trump had privately told her that he intentionally discredited the media "so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you".[786]
As president, Trump mused about revoking the press credentials of journalists he viewed as critical.[787] His administration moved to revoke the press passes of two White House reporters, which were restored by the courts.[788] The Trump White House held about a hundred formal press briefings in 2017, declining by half during 2018 and to two in 2019.[788]
Trump also deployed the legal system to intimidate the press.[789] In early 2020, the Trump campaign sued The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN for defamation in opinion pieces about Russian election interference.[790][791] All the suits were dismissed.[792][793][794]
Racial views
Main article: Racial views of Donald Trump
Many of Trump's comments and actions have been considered racist.[795][796][797] In national polling, about half of respondents said that Trump is racist; a greater proportion believed that he emboldened racists.[798][799] Several studies and surveys found that racist attitudes fueled Trump's political ascent and were more important than economic factors in determining the allegiance of Trump voters.[800][801] Racist and Islamophobic attitudes are a powerful indicator of support for Trump.[802]
In 1975, he settled a 1973 Department of Justice lawsuit that alleged housing discrimination against black renters.[50] He has also been accused of racism for insisting a group of black and Latino teenagers were guilty of raping a white woman in the 1989 Central Park jogger case, even after they were exonerated by DNA evidence in 2002. As of 2019, he maintained this position.[803]
In 2011, when he was reportedly considering a presidential run, he became the leading proponent of the racist "birther" conspiracy theory, alleging that Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president, was not born in the U.S.[804][805] In April, he claimed credit for pressuring the White House to publish the "long-form" birth certificate, which he considered fraudulent, and later said this made him "very popular".[806][807] In September 2016, amid pressure, he acknowledged that Obama was born in the U.S.[808] In 2017, he reportedly expressed birther views privately.[809]
According to an analysis in Political Science Quarterly, Trump made "explicitly racist appeals to whites" during his 2016 presidential campaign.[810] In particular, his campaign launch speech drew widespread criticism for claiming Mexican immigrants were "bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists".[811][812] His later comments about a Mexican-American judge presiding over a civil suit regarding Trump University were also criticized as racist.[813]
Answering questions about the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville
Trump's comments on the 2017 Unite the Right rally, condemning "this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides" and stating that there were "very fine people on both sides", were widely criticized as implying a moral equivalence between the white supremacist demonstrators and the counter-protesters.[814][815][816][817]
In a January 2018 discussion of immigration legislation, Trump reportedly referred to El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, and African nations as "shithole countries".[818] His remarks were condemned as racist.[819][820]
In July 2019, Trump tweeted that four Democratic congresswomen—all from minorities, three of whom are native-born Americans—should "go back" to the countries they "came from".[821] Two days later the House of Representatives voted 240–187, mostly along party lines, to condemn his "racist comments".[822] White nationalist publications and social media praised his remarks, which continued over the following days.[823] Trump continued to make similar remarks during his 2020 campaign.[824]
Misogyny and allegations of sexual misconduct
Main articles: Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations and Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape
Trump has a history of insulting and belittling women when speaking to the media and on social media.[825][826] He made lewd comments, disparaged women's physical appearances, and referred to them using derogatory epithets.[826][827][828][829] At least 26 women publicly accused Trump of rape, kissing, and groping without consent; looking under women's skirts; and walking in on naked teenage pageant contestants.[830][831][832] Trump has denied the allegations.[832]
In October 2016, two days before the second presidential debate, a 2005 "hot mic" recording surfaced in which Trump was heard bragging about kissing and groping women without their consent, saying that "when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the pussy."[833] The incident's widespread media exposure led to Trump's first public apology during the campaign[834] and caused outrage across the political spectrum.[835]
