How did Harris and Trump do in the presidential debate? 4 key moments from their first face-off excerpt: “These dictators and autocrats are rooting for you to be president again, because they're so clear they can manipulate you with flattery and favors,” Harris said at one point. “That is why we understand that we have to have a president who is not consistently weak and wrong on national security.”
Trump is still relying on saying that Harris is the same as Biden. New Yahoo News/YouGov poll: After debate, Harris surges to 5-point lead over Trump among registered voters in head-to-head matchup excerpt: "The tone was set in the opening seconds. Trump ambled slowly in from the wings, heading for his podium; Harris went directly to Trump and initiated a handshake that he seemed to want to avoid. “Let’s have a good debate,” Harris said. That pattern — Trump avoidant, Harris direct — repeated itself throughout the evening. Trump only referred to his rival as the “vice president” once: to call her the “worst vice president in the history of our country.” Otherwise, he seemed only able to address Harris in the third person, as “she” or “her” — as if she wasn’t there. He rarely made eye contact. In contrast, Harris called Trump the “former president” more than a dozen times — and when she wasn’t referring to Trump by his title, she was looking right at him and addressing him as “you.”"
Post-debate survey shows Harris surged to a five-point lead over Trump. New Yahoo News/YouGov poll: After debate, Harris surges to 5-point lead over Trump among registered voters in head-to-head matchup excerpt: "Harris is also performing 4 points better than Biden was among Latin Americans, 5 points better among women, 14 points better among Black Americans and 17 points better among Americans ages 18 to 29. (These groups have small sample sizes and therefore larger margins of error than the survey as a whole.) And Harris is flipping independents as well. Before Tuesday’s debate, Harris trailed Trump by 9 points (35% to 44%) with that crucial bloc; she now leads by 10 (47% to 37%)."

Laura Loomer issues fierce denial after Bill Maher jokes about her 'arranged relationship' with Donald Trump | Daily Mail Online excerpt: 'I think maybe Laura Loomer's in an arranged relationship to influence the election because she's very close to Trump', Maher said on his HBO series Real Time. He then cited his crude reasoning: 'She's 31, looks like his type ... Who's Trump f******? Because I said, it's not nobody. He's been a dog for too long. And it's not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week.” Loomer furiously responded on social media, denying any relationship with Trump: 'I should sue Bill Maher for Defamation. This is beyond the pale and it’s a complete and blatant lie.'
Laura Loomer is 31. During a locker room banter interview with Howard Stern, Trump said 30 is the best age of women. It does look bizarre when Trump is seen repeatedly with Laura Loomer at his side during his campaign stops and Melania is missing. Melania is currently on a PR campaign to sell her book. She's talking like she cares about Trump.
Laura Loomer says she should sue Bill Maher for defamation. A pathological liar who levels a myriad of false accusations at people, Loomer is upset that Maher made a comical remark about her possibly dating Trump.
Melania should be chastising Trump for stealing government documents, keeping them in a mess at Mar-a-Lago, possibly mixed in with her personal property, and refusing to return them to the government after a year and a half of being instructed many times by the National Archives and the DOJ to return them. Melania remark in the days leading up the release of her memoir book: “I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America, The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings. This is not just my story, it serves as a warning to all Americans, a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected.
Melania has gone full Trump-truther. People speculated that she might become her own person and divorce Trump after he announced he was running for president in 2024. She decided to stay with her ambiguous, wishy-washy mindset and behavior of promoting Trump while at the same time distancing herself from him.
It needs a political cartoon, such as Melainia holding a message on paper to Trump's face about how she supposedly cares about him using a 20-foot pole to keep her distance from him (while Laura Loomer is standing right next to him).
Trump praises his rioters. https://www.npr.org/2024/09/12/nx-s1-5107435/trump-capitol-riot-antisemitic-bedminster excerpt: Twice this past summer, Donald Trump’s golf club in Bedminster, N.J. has featured speeches from a rioter convicted of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, who has a well-documented history of extreme antisemitic and racist rants. One of those events — a fundraiser for a controversial nonprofit group that supports Capitol riot defendants — was personally endorsed by Trump himself in a video message that was played for the room. “All of the people there, you’re amazing patriots,” Trump said in the video. “Have a great time at Bedminster.”
Loomer's presence helped derail Trump's planned attacks on Harris. How a false rumor about pets in Ohio and Laura Loomer’s presence helped derail Trump’s planned attacks on Harris excerpt: “It’s like an invasion from within and we’re going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country. And we’re going to start with Springfield and Aurora.” “The people of Ohio are scared,” he said. “It’s going to get worse. It’s going to get so bad. You know what we’re experiencing now is they’re just getting settled in.”

When Biden was running in 2024, Trump had his crew go on a PR campaign, saying he would debate anywhere, anytime, and anyplace. Now that he's been through one bad debate with Harris, he says he won't do any more. image:
Taylor Swift says that part of the reason she endorsed Harris is because Trump shared an AI-generated image of Swift fans with T-shirts supporting Trump.
