    I'm voting for the Party that doesn't have the support of militias, white supremacists, or nazis.
    It's really not a difficult choice.

    Trump says the people fainted at his town hall because of excitement.

    Trump's multiple playing of 'Ave Maria' must have done it.

    That's sure to help all the left-behinders and down-and-outers, some of whom rioted on his behalf at the Capitol and lost their lives in the name of his lies.

    Turn an economic town hall into a concert with Trump on stage swaying to the music.

    Trump is upset that the Harris campaign has described him and Vance as weird.

    Trump once again petitions the court to move his criminal hush money NY case to federal court, citing the Supreme Court immunity ruling.


    Trump again asks appeals court to move New York hush money case to federal court

    excerpt:

    "Former President Donald Trump has again asked an appeals court to transfer his New York criminal hush money case to federal court, reigniting an effort to stall his sentencing or throw out his conviction on 34 felony courts.

    In a filing on late Monday, Trump's lawyers asked the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to reconsider a lower court's September decision denying the former president's attempt to remove the state case to federal court."

    But the 52% of the public who think he's mentally fit: Are they mentally fit?

    Noem tries to turn medical emergencies of Trump fans fainting into a whine about inflation.


    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/14/us/politics/trump-town-hall-dj-music.html

    excerpt:

    "As medical personnel responded to the first incident and the room grew tense, Mr. Trump asked his campaign staff to play a rendition of “Ave Maria.” Minutes later, after the person was removed on a stretcher, Ms. Noem tried to return to the question-and-answer session. But that effort stopped abruptly because a second person, a woman, also suddenly needed medical attention.

    After the woman got up and walked to the periphery of the event, Mr. Trump called for some air conditioning in the venue. Ms. Noem, trying to get back on message, made a joke about inflation, saying, “They probably can’t afford it, sir.”"

    Trump interview with Bloomberg at the Economic Club of Chicago was a failure.

    Trump has also abruptly canceled an interview with CNBC.

    The topic for both interviews was supposed to be Trump's economic policy.


    Trump Crumbles When Pressed on Economic Policy in Bloomberg Interview

    excerpt:

    "When questioned about the specifics of his plan, and if he was aware of its pitfalls, Trump seemed ignorant of basic economic principles, insisting that other countries, not American consumers, would pay for the tariffs.

    Micklethwait tried to explain the actual impact. “Three-trillion worth of imports and you will add tariffs to every single one of them, and push up the cost for all of these people to buy foreign goods,” he said. “That is just simple mathematics.”

    Trump Crumbles When Pressed on Economic Policy in Bloomberg Interview

    excerpt:

    "Micklethwait spent most of the interview attempting to break Trump out of what the former president repeatedly referred to as “the weave,” his term for his rambling digressions — with ever-decreasing intelligibility — and general inability to focus on a given topic for more than a few seconds during his rallies and interviews.

    Micklethwait didn’t weave along with Trump, however, repeatedly working to bring him back on topic and answer the actual questions. The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased."

    Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say

    excerpt:

    "Yet most mainstream economists say Trump’s policy proposals wouldn't vanquish inflation. They’d make it worse. They warn that his plans to impose huge tariffs on imported goods, deport millions of migrant workers and demand a voice in the Federal Reserve's interest rate policies would likely send prices surging.

    Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists signed a letter in June expressing fear that Trump's proposals would “reignite’’ inflation, which has plummeted since peaking at 9.1% in 2022 and is nearly back to the Fed’s 2% target."

    Trump's economic plans would worsen inflation, experts say

    excerpt:

    "Last month, the Peterson Institute for International Economics predicted that Trump’s policies — the deportations, import taxes and efforts to erode the Fed's independence — would drive consumer prices sharply higher two years into his second term. Peterson's analysis concluded that inflation, which would otherwise register 1.9% in 2026, would instead jump to between 6% and 9.3% if Trump's economic proposals were adopted."

    Trump is still blaming the Capitol police for the riot he started and didn't stop for three hours.


    Trump Crumbles When Pressed on Economic Policy in Bloomberg Interview

    excerpt:

    “It was love and peace,” Trump said of Jan. 6. “Some people went to the Capitol and a lot of strange things happened there, with people being waved into the Capitol by police,” he added, nodding to conspiracy theories that the federal government helped orchestrate the riot to make Trump and his supporters look bad.

    When informed that deporting migrant workers would affeect the economy, Trump ranted about supposed widespread migrant violent crime and pointed to a beautiful woman in the audience and said that murderous migrants would kill her.


    Harris teases Trump after he ends town hall with a 39-minute music session: Live

    excerpt:

    “The issue I asked you about was the idea if you reduce immigration — every economist will tell you — if you have fewer people, there is a smaller economy,” Micklethwait interjected after Trump ranted about murderous migrants for several minutes. Trump continued and at one point singled out a member of the audience, calling her a “beautiful woman.”

    “They will look at you — down [there] a beautiful woman — they’ll look at you and they will kill you,” he said.

    An exasperated Micklethwait noted that the crime rate has actually gone down under Biden.

    Trump is a pre-recorded message box.

    'Capitol Police caused the riot.'

    'The radical left communist lunatics.'

    'Migrants are going to kill you.'

    'I fixed women's dishwashers.'

    'A giant faucet will supply everyone's water needs.'

    'Big, beautiful, inexpensive healthcare for all.'

    'I'm gonna do it and do it fast.'

    'Zero inflation and zero interest rates.'

    'I was right about everything.'

    Trump said the wrong word when he accused Biden of being cognitively impaired.

    Trump said cognitively 'repaired'.


    Over 230 doctors call for Trump to release medical records

    excerpt:

    At Sunday’s rally, moments after assuring supporters he was mentally sound, Trump referred to Biden as “obviously cognitively repaired,” rather than “cognitively impaired.”

    The rise of American authoritarianism
    A niche group of political scientists may have uncovered what’s driving Donald Trump’s ascent. What they found has implications that go well beyond 2016.
