The Donald Trump Score Card

https://www.dailydot.com/debug/trump-boat-parade/

excerpt:

The numbers 1488, 14/88, or 8814 are antisemitic hate symbols. The “14” signifies the “Fourteen Words,” a popular neo-Nazi slogan that declares “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” Aas H is the eighth letter in the English alphabet, the “88” signifies “Heil Hitler.”

Lindell recently ran a promo on his site offering pillows for $14.88, which he denied had any antisemitic message behind it.

excerpt:

"Around 1 p.m. Saturday, an official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, sent an urgent message to numerous federal agencies warning that “FEMA has advised all federal responders Rutherford County, NC, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately. The message stated that National Guard troops 'had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA.’”"

 

Trump tells Harris to take a cognitive test while accusing her of being slow and lethargic and after refusing to release his medical records that he previously said he would do.

The Trump Voters Who Don’t Believe Trump
When the former president endorses violence and proposes using the government to attack his enemies, many of his supporters assume it’s just an act.

excerpt:

"But Trump — despite his two impeachments, his criminal conviction, and his attempt to destroy democracy to stay in power — is within reach of the presidency again with a more radical agenda than before."

 

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/politics/trump-extreme-vision-harris-pressure-analysis/index.html

excerpt:

"Harris’ task is complicated by the lack of opportunities to take on Trump directly. The former president, who has spent weeks lambasting her for avoiding the press, rarely strays from his comfort zone of conservative media and Fox News, where he enjoys adulation rather than cross-examination. He is dodging a second presidential debate against Harris and pulled out of a “60 Minutes” interview before critiquing the vice president’s performance on the show. And whereas in 2016, when Trump’s rallies were hard to escape on cable television, the performances now rarely get end-to-end coverage outside conservative media, meaning that many voters may not appreciate his extreme and increasingly disjointed antics."

excerpt:

"Dread is growing among Democrats that the euphoria over Harris’ entry into the race in July, her successful convention in August and her debate performance the following month have not translated yet into a decisive lead over Trump.

There’s no clear leader in the latest CNN average of national polls, which includes neck-and-neck surveys by CBS, ABC and NBC released Sunday. Even if Harris were leading in national surveys, there are fears that, like Hillary Clinton before her, she could win the popular vote but fall short in the Electoral College.

The tightly balanced race three weeks out shows that while he’s an aberration from traditional presidential candidates, Trump is offering something millions of Americans want. Republicans argue that Harris-Biden policies caused a spike in inflation the White House tried for months to downplay. Trump cites the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan to argue the current White House is seen as weak around the world. And after failing to tackle the policy or political ramifications of immigration earlier in Biden’s term, Democrats offered Trump a huge opening on a critical issue."

 

People have a way of heading back to their abuser.

America has a reasonable chance of reelecting Trump who has 34 felony convictions and three ongoing felony criminal cases (one dismissed by Cannon but being appealed). He was also convicted of civil rape and fraud.


'Dead heat': Trump pulls even with Harris in NBC News poll

excerpt:

"Another significant change in the NBC News poll since September is Harris’ popularity.

One of the major developments in September’s NBC News poll, conducted after the Harris-Trump debate on Sept. 10, was her double-digit increase in popularity compared to earlier in the summer, before she became Democrats’ presidential candidate. Her ratings shot upward to 48% positive, 45% negative (a +3 net rating).

But in this latest poll, Harris’ rating stands at 43% positive, 49% negative (-6), with the erosion coming mainly from independents and young voters.

That’s not too far removed from Trump’s 43% positive, 51% negative score (-8) in this same poll. That positive rating is Trump’s highest in the NBC News poll since he left office."

That includes three Yankee World Series rings and watches gifted to him by foreign heads of state..

Giuliani says Trump still owes him $2 million in legal fees.

During an interview on Fox, Trump floated the idea of using the military to handle what he refers to as radical-left lunatics, the enemy within.

excerpt:

“I don’t think [immigrants] are the problem in terms of election day,” Trump told Bartiromo. “I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics.”

At that point, he suggested a seemingly sinister solution.

“And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military,” he said.

“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people who have come in, who are destroying our country.”

 

Melania makes apologies for the Trump supporters who felt the 2020 election was rigged.

excerpt:

“The violence we witnessed was unequivocally unacceptable,” she writes. But in her next breath, she adds that she “recognized that many individuals felt the election was mishandled and that the vice president should halt the confirmation process”.

excerpt:

"While he did not employ an Eisenhower-like effort the first time he was president, Trump is bringing the pledge back. Trump told Time he would target between 15 million and 20 million people who he said are undocumented in the US. The exact number of undocumented immigrants is not clear. It is probably smaller than Trump says."

 

Christians flock to Washington to pray for America to turn to God — by electing Trump

Christians flock to Washington to pray for America to turn to God — by electing Trump

excerpt:

"Tens of thousands of evangelical Christians gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to pray for America’s atonement and for Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Organizers of the event, billed “A Million Women,” described the gathering — and next month’s presidential election — as “a last stand moment” to save the nation from forces of darkness. For hours, the gathered masses sang worship songs, waved flags symbolizing their belief that America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation and prayed aloud for Jesus to intercede on behalf of Trump in November.

“If we don’t stand now,” said Grace Lin, who traveled from Los Angeles for the rally and came wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, “then the enemy will take over our country. If that happens, that’s the end.”"

 

Trump turns what should have been a question-and-answer town hall about the economy into a 39-minute DJ music event after just five questions.

excerpt:

Then, Mr. Trump suggested a return to his comfort zone. He called up a chart on immigration that he has displayed at nearly every recent campaign rally and ordered up “Ave Maria” again. And after it played one more time, Mr. Trump decided to end the question-and-answer session after just five questions.

“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music,” he said. “Let’s make it into a music ——. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?”
