    Trump's war against wind turbines in Scotland started in 2011.

    The turbines were erected in 2019 after years of Trump waging legal battles.

    excerpt:

    "Rina Shah, a political strategist and former RNC delegate, framed a key voting issue for Democrats this year, abortion rights, in language designed to appeal to small-government conservatives. Shah referred to “draconian bans” supported by Republicans in multiple states since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

    “When I see that happening, I think it’s antithetical to the Republican Party I came up in,” Shah said. “I don’t want the government in my backyard, my bedroom, my bank account and certainly not in the medical exam room.”"

    As his standing in the polls slides, Trump ramps up false attacks on election integrity

    excerpts:

    “Anytime Trump is not focused on issues American are facing and Harris’ failed record — and instead talking about grievances or the last election — the outcome is likely to be the same,” said Stephen Lawson, a Republican operative based in Georgia, where two weeks ago Trump detoured from talking about Harris at a rally to instead attack Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who resisted Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 results in the state.


    “Stuff like this was always going to be a part of the message, but it’s much more central now,” said one Republican operative who is not authorized by his employer to speak publicly about the presidential campaign. “Whether he’s using it to undermine a potential loss or to motivate the base even more, who knows? But undermining trust in institutions is central to everything he does.”

    Article from 2019.

    Five years later, Trump said these same remarks at his rally in NC this week about not being able to watch Trump on TV because the wind isn't blowing.


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...ace636af08_story.html?itid=lk_inline_manual_9

    excerpt:

    "He ranted about “big windmills” that “destroy everybody’s property values, kill all the birds.” They’re unreliable, he claimed, darkening people’s homes. “And then, all of a sudden, it stops; the wind and the televisions go off,” he added. “And your wives and husbands say, ‘Darling, I want to watch Donald Trump on television tonight. But the wind stopped blowing and I can’t watch. There’s no electricity in the house, darling.’”"

    Article from November 2019.

    Trump lost his years-long effort to stop the building of wind turbines near his golf course in Scotland.


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...57cdd4-0561-11ea-ac12-3325d49eacaa_story.html

    excerpt:

    Trump wrote in a 2013 op-ed in the Scottish Mail on Sunday that he had instructed his lawyers to launch an “all-out challenge” to “Mad Alex,” as he called Salmond, to fight the wind farm in the country where Trump’s mother was born.

    “I am going to fight him for as long as it takes — to hell if I have to — and spend as much as it takes to block this useless and grotesque blot on our heritage,” he wrote.

    Trump says he's entitled to call Harris names because (in his perception) she weaponized the justice system.


    Trump says he’s ‘entitled to personal attacks’ as he hammers Harris on inflation with grocery props

    excerpt:

    “As far as the personal attacks, I’m very angry at her because of what she’s done to the country. I’m very angry at her that she would weaponize the justice system against me and other people, very angry at her. I think I’m entitled to personal attacks,” Trump said at his New Jersey golf club, where he invited reporters in his quest to saddle Harris with Biden’s unpopular economic record.

    The type of people Trump brings to his 2024 RNC convention to speak at the podium.


    It's All Over Now, Goodnight

    excerpt:

    "The intervening years weren’t kind to Hogan. He cheated on his wife with his 20-year-old daughter’s friend and got divorced. His teenage son nearly killed a friend in a drunk driving crash and spent five months in jail. In 2012, a sex tape famously leaked where Hogan cuckolded his best friend, a radio DJ named Bubba the Love Sponge. A few years later, Hogan’s personal injury lawsuit against Gawker unearthed more of these same recordings. This time, the Tampa wrestler was caught saying the N-word and admitting, “I guess we’re all a little racist.” The WWE promptly terminated its contract with him (he was invited back in 2018). Hogan’s Peter Thiel-lawsuit shut down Gawker."

    The coal miners and farmers think that sort of thing is going to save them.

    In another one of his fantasies, when he was in criminal court for his NY fraud case (where he was convicted of 34 felony counts), Trump claimed that thousands of his supporters were being turned away by police near the courthouse.

    No one was there.

    Yet when 15,000 are at a Harris event, Trump claims no one is there.

    excerpt:

    “Donald Trump is not the Donald Trump of 2016, he seemed slowed down, he seems meandering, he seems low energy and he really is struggling to make a point,” said former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin, who broke with the ex-president after he refused to accept his defeat in 2020. “He is somebody who is not performing at the caliber he once was and that might have worked when he was up against Joe Biden — the contrast did make him appear at times stronger and more vibrant. It’s not working against Kamala Harris who is the younger candidate and the one with more energy,” she said on CNN’s “AC360.”

    excerpt:

    "The former president still has millions of devoted supporters. And he remains in striking distance of one of the most stunning comebacks in American politics and becoming only the second defeated one-term president to return to office. And while his outrageous behavior is exactly the reason many of his followers love him, it risks further alienating moderate, suburban swing state voters who cost him the 2020 election and will be vital in what is shaping up as a close fight."

    excerpt:

    "Deep into his ranting news conference on Thursday, former President Donald Trump told a truth that explained everything : “I’m very angry at her.”

    He was referring to Vice President Kamala Harris, whose late entry into the general election race has left him bitter, disoriented, and mourning the loss of the old campaign — the one he was winning against President Joe Biden."

    Trump says presidential civilian award is 'better' than top military honor whose recipients are 'dead' or 'hit' by bullets

    excerpt:

    "But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead," Trump concluded. “She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for — and that’s through committees and everything else.”
