In a painful turning point for his campaign, Donald Trump now appears to be the bellicose old candidate that President Joe Biden made look like.
At a massive rally in downtown Atlanta on Saturday, the Republican presidential candidate made several memorable verbal gaffes, adding that he couldn’t get out undeniable words and, at one point, completely wasting his way after delivering the rallying call. Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Together, we will prevent Kamala Harris from destroying the country. Well, I’ll tell you, when you see what she’s done to our country, she’s destroying our country,” Trump said. “Radicalism will save our country from the worst management. ” in American history. “

At the time, Trump quoted Harris as saying, “Let the violent marbs continue,” saying she was seeking to fund “the place” before correcting herself by saying “the police. “
“She probably wouldn’t stop, she said she approved of defunding the place and the police, and she said the violent acts, let the violent mobs continue,” Trump said.

In fact, and Trump’s twisted memories aside, Harris told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2020 that the Black Lives Matter protests were “not going to stop. “And they do it and we do it.
Meanwhile, Trump has continually boasted that he passed a cognitive screening and has since argued that it will be mandatory for all public officials running for higher office.
In the years since he “passed” the test, Trump has invariably replaced the questions he would have won on the test, infrequently boasting that he recited five words and performed fundamental multiplications, while at other times insisting that he had succeeded through correct identification. . a whale. This is despite the fact that the authors of the study claim that none of the three versions in circulation actually involve a whale.
Truth Social, Donald Trump’s right-wing social network, failed when users introduced #TrumpIsACoward over the weekend.
The mocking hashtag circulated on X (formerly Twitter) before it started trending on Truth Social Sunday, Raw Story reported, after Trump said he had agreed to debate Vice President Kamala Harris regardless, only it wasn’t the debate hosted in September. 10. via ABC News that any of the applicants had already accepted.
Trump hosted a debate on September 4, hosted by Fox News and moderated by hosts Brett Baier and Martha MacCallum.
While the conservative outlet first said it was “open to discussion” about the terms, in his message Trump proposed another demand: an arena full of spectators to watch him play, a far cry from the previous debate held on CNN. , which had taken place without a hearing.
Trump cited the ongoing litigation against ABC News and host George Stephanopolous as a new explanation for why he would quit the ABC News debate.
For weeks, Trump made excuses for why he simply wouldn’t debate Harris on the same terms he had agreed to debate Biden.
On Friday, he said he did not want to debate Harris because she was already leading in the polls, a claim that turned out to be false. A week earlier, I had a completely different excuse. His team said he might simply not debate a Democratic nominee who wasn’t officially nominated, or even endorsed by former President Barack Obama. Within hours, Harris had won Obama’s support.
Since Harris entered the race as the presumptive Democratic nominee, it turns out that many Trump enthusiasts have begun to question her judgment and defect to greener pastures (written in Ron Paul).
Michael Tyler, Harris’ campaign communications director, responded to Trump’s challenge on a Saturday to NBC News.
“Donald Trump is scared and seeks to walk away from the debate he has already accepted and runs directly to Fox News to rescue him. He wants to prevent gambling and show up in the debate that he already participated in on September 10,” Tyler said.
“The vice president will be there one way or another to take advantage of the opportunity to face a national audience in prime time. We are pleased to talk about new debates after the one already agreed upon by both campaigns. Mr. Anytime, Anywhere, Anywhere has no challenge with that, unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th. “
Who would have thought that one of Donald Trump’s biggest slogans would end up stinging his butt.
Apparently not his crusade team, which opted to put “You’re fired” on official rally posters, a tongue-in-cheek turn of events for the former Truth TV star. The symptoms used Saturday at Trump’s rally in downtown Atlanta read in full, “Lying Kamala, you’re fired!However, the choice to print the first component of the message in a much smaller font did not translate well on television screens.
Instead, millions of Americans watched the Republican presidential and vice-presidential candidates speak in front of a crowd of enthusiastic T-shirt-clad supporters with symptoms that seemed to demand their departure.

Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J. D. Vance, spent the rally instilling fear about crime and immigration, adding that “the suburbs will be overrun by violent crime and savage alien gangs. “”They don’t win in November, as they seek to erode Vice President Kamala Harris’ momentum. But even without managing to mount a genuine crusade against the sudden Democratic presidential nominee, Trump and Vance, instead, hurled a series of half-hearted, childish insults at him.
“She happens to be a person with a very low IQ. We don’t want an individual with a low IQ,” Trump said Saturday of Harris. “He’s Bernie Sanders but just as smart. “
In part of the rally, Trump lied by saying Harris was looking for “people to stop eating red meat” and that she wanted to “get rid of their cows. “No more cows. He also stated that he didn’t need “anyone to say Merry Christmas. “
And, surprisingly, Trump chose to congratulate his Russian ally, President Vladimir Putin (President Joe Biden or any of the United States’ diplomats or allies) on the recent prisoner exchange that brought back Wall Street Journal reporter, Evan Gershkovich, after a year of detention. as well as two other American citizens.
Former President Donald Trump’s crusade offers two simultaneous narratives about Vice President Kamala Harris that, if they turned out to be true, would simply cancel each other out.
Harris and President Joe Biden joined the families of three Americans imprisoned in Russia at Joint Base Andrew in Maryland on Thursday night. Biden had helped facilitate the release of former U. S. Marine Paul Whelan, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, and Russian-American journalist Alsou Kurmasheva.
Despite this comeback, MAGA took the opportunity to publicize its own conspiracy theories about Biden and Harris. RNC Research, an account on X run through the Trump campaign, posted a video of Biden and Harris on the trail.
“Kamala watches as Biden moves aimlessly across the tarmac and almost walks down the stairs of the plane (whose passengers had long since disembarked),” the story writes. “This is the apparent decline that Kamala has hidden in her lust for power: the scandal of the century. ”

There are a lot of problems with this article, so let’s go through them one by one. The so-called “rejection” of the post refers to Biden boarding the plane to thank the pilots, not that he was traveling on an empty plane with Harris leaving stunned on the tarmac.
In one sentence, Trump’s crusader warned that Harris had covered up Biden’s aging to keep him in power and that she was waiting to be given the reins. In terms of fictional evil projects, he can’t conspire to maintain power either. leader with strength and plot to overthrow him. Complicity or coup d’état? MAGA Republicans have to decide between one bedtime story or the other, but there simply isn’t enough time for either.
This post is a small window into the Trump campaign’s haphazard efforts to change their rhetoric around Harris, whom they are now forced to blame for everything they once tried to attribute to Biden. Thursday’s prisoner swap presented a sore point for Trump, who was quite upset about not having participated in the complex negotiations, but lashing out like this is particularly pathetic.
The Republican attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris are too much for some close to Donald Trump.
Peter Navarro, an economist who worked in the Trump White House, was a guest on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast on Friday, as Trump’s other former adviser serves a criminal sentence for contempt of Congress. Navarro began to panic because of the non-public attitude of the Republicans. He attacks Harris’s private life or his way of laughing, telling them to “shut up. ”
“Do we have women when we call Kamala a whore or make fun of her, Ted Cruz?” Navarro asked, provoking a fight with the Texas senator. “This is the case. Keeping your mouth shut. It’s getting us nowhere!”
“Women, when they hear this nonsense, resent, especially towards the old white people who say this nonsense. Shut up,” added Navarro, who is also an elderly white man who served a four-month criminal sentence for contempt of Congress.
“Peter Navarro tells ‘old white men’ to ‘shut up’ in the face of nonpublic attacks on Kamala Harris. “Presumably he’s talking about Trump. (Video: The True Voice of America) pic. twitter. com/lQX3hWmhRe
Navarro mentioned Trump by name, but Trump referred to Harris as “Kamala who laughs” and alluded to her non-public life in other slurs. His mention of “old white men” may also take into account Trump’s racist attacks, especially on Wednesday, when the former president spoke at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. While some Republicans disapproved of the comments, others defended Trump.
The more Republicans launch those attacks, the more it makes them look bad and reinforces the Democrats’ effective attacks on GOP weirdness. Even a global MAGA figure like Navarro may see this as counterproductive. Still, he didn’t mention Trump through the name, and the GOP will continue to stick to the example of the former president and convicted felon. Will Trump manage to find the clue, or will he leave the GOP in a deep hole as November approaches?
Former President Donald Trump’s new excuse for why he would not possibly debate Vice President Kamala Harris simply doesn’t have the numbers to back it up.
During an interview on Fox Business on Friday morning, host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump if he would take on Harris.
“Well, I do. And it turns out that we are still far ahead in the polls. She’s better than him, but at the end of the day, I think it’s going to be worse than him,” Trump said, referring to the president. Joe Biden.
“I mean, right now I’m saying, why am I having a debate?” Trump said. I’m leading the polls. And everyone knows her, everyone knows me.

Trump doesn’t think he wants to debate Harris because he’s already defeating her, but it’s not clear that’s the case. Several national polls released this week found Harris ahead of Trump.
A vote conducted through RMG Research between July 29 and 31 and released Friday found that Harris led on five issues with 47 percent, to Trump’s 42 percent. A YouGov/The Economist poll conducted between July 27 and 30 found that Harris beat Trump on two issues. , 46% to 44%.
A Leger poll released Wednesday, conducted between July 26 and 28, found Harris beating Trump by 49 percent to 46 percent. A Civiqs poll released Wednesday for the Daily Kos found Harris ahead by four points, at 49 percent to 45 percent. Some of the ballots that put Harris ahead of Trump.
Project 538, which aggregates national election results, adding some of those indexed above, found Harris clearly ahead, with 45 percent of the vote, compared to Trump’s 43 percent. Throughout the week, Harris managed to widen the hole between her and Trump.
It’s rarely the first time Trump’s excuse to run away from a debate has evaporated before his eyes. Trump’s team has said in the past that it would not schedule any more presidential debates until Democrats officially nominate their nominee, in particular citing former President Barack Obama’s lack of Harris. Within hours, he had received Obama’s Array.
Harris’ crusade issued a reaction to Trump’s new and unconvincing apology: “Donald Trump will have to show himself as a man. He has no problem spreading lies and hate speech at his rallies or in interviews with right-wing commentators. But he’s supposedly too scared to do it sitting across from the vice president of the United States,” he said.
Harris’ crusader has insisted that she will attend the presidential debate hosted by ABC News, scheduled for September 10, regardless of whether her opponent deigns to run.
“She’ll wait there to see if he shows up,” he said.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and many House Democrats have a frontrunner to be Kamala Harris’ vice presidential nominee: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
The Hill reports that several Democrats defended Walz, who was a congressman from 2006 to 2019 and was well-liked among his fellow Democrats. That includes the former House speaker, who was instrumental in convincing Joe Biden to drop out of the race and gave Harris a lot early on.
A source told The Hill that Pelosi “still likes former House colleagues” when asked about Harris’ running mate, a nod to Walz.
Other House Democrats echoed that sentiment. “My sentimental favorite is Tim Walz,” said Rep. Jim McGovern. “He is a wonderful congressman. People I know in Minnesota tell me he’s a wonderful governor. . . But most importantly he’s a smart guy. He’s down to earth, he’s genuine, there’s nothing fake about him, he calls them like he sees them, and he tells it like it is, and I appreciate the franchise.
“I need someone who is strongly pro-worker and understands the job, because it is an important component of the elegance calendar and ensuring that we win the elegance votes,” he said. said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. “I like Governor Walz. I like the things he was able to do. I like that he comes from a rural town; I like that he has experience in the army.
Walz’s popularity has surged since the vice president entered the race more than two weeks ago. He has effectively criticized Republicans like J. D. Vance and spoken out against the right on Fox News. If Pelosi is in favor of Walz joining Harris’ list, that could be a deal-breaker and make many Democrats, whether elected or grassroots, very happy.
It turns out that some loyal Donald Trump enthusiasts are starting to lose the religion in their candidate.
Gun rights activist and human killer Kyle Rittenhouse announced Thursday that he will include Ron Paul’s call in his November poll, shortly after posting that he had the “incredible pleasure” of meeting with the former U. S. representative.
A few hours later, Rittenhouse made a video about X explaining his decision not to endorse Trump. “A lot of other people are not happy because I said I was going to write in Ron Paul for the president of the United States. And that’s right. “I’ll write in Ron Paul,” Rittenhouse said.
“Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors, which made him bad on the Second Amendment, and that’s my problem. If you can’t be absolutely uncompromising on the Second Amendment, I probably wouldn’t vote for you and would write to someone else. We want defenders of the Second Amendment, in a different way our rights would be devoured and eroded every day.
Rittenhouse visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November 2021, shortly after he was acquitted of all charges of killing two other people and seriously injuring other protests against racism and police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that summer. Rittenhouse “was a fan,” Trump later exclaimed on Fox News. No more.
Rittenhouse seems to be the only one disappointed by Trump’s record. The former president also got many unsolicited recommendations from his followers on Truth Social.
Under a post Thursday night celebrating the election of Tennessee state Sen. Bobby Harshbarger, whom Trump supported in the past, Trump supporters pleaded with him to change his strategy in the presidential race, according to Raw StoryArray.
Several Truth Social users have pleaded with Trump to end his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Mr. President, I hope you do well, I just want to tell you that you don’t want to belittle Kamela as a person,” the user @stopeow wrote. “Women hate it. “
Her user, @Th3ManyFacedGod, wrote: “You want to replace the noise and start attacking Kamala Harris’ political positions and Kamala Harris as a person!!! »
A 3rd Truth Social user accused Trump of “ruining everything. “
“Come on Trump. I love you, but STOP giving them ammo!wrote user @nanadof7. ” Just say, ‘Who cares what it is? “Is she qualified?”I thought you were smarter than that, but you’re acting like an idiot. Don’t lose this election for us! Call Kelly Ann and pay attention to people smarter than you. You’re ruining everything.
Earlier this week, Trump sharply criticized Harris, questioning her race and suggesting she had failed the bar exam, leaving Republican lawmakers “embarrassed” and “uncomfortable,” according to The Hill. Since then, Trump has doubled down on his racial attacks on Harris. Harris, signaling his reluctance to change course.
Donald Trump still can’t stand Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats calling him “weird. “
In an interview Thursday with conservative radio host Clay Travis, Trump attempted to strike back by claiming that his conflicting parties were strangers in themselves.
“They’re the most bizarre thing. No one has ever called me weird. I stand by a lot of things, but funnily enough I’m Array, and I’ll be frank with you. And neither is he, I’m telling you. J. D. ne is not at all. They are,” Trump said , protecting himself and his running mate, J. D. Vance.
“If you’ve ever noticed her with her laugh and everything, that’s something that’s happening there,” Trump said.
Harris posted audio of the interview on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday night, mocking the former president and convicted felon.
Trump (who is strange): They are the strange ones! No one has ever called me strange. I do many things, but curiously I am not. And JD Vance is neither pic. twitter. com/R4d8wh3qM9
Trump has struggled to find an answer to the strange calls, and he just called Harris a stranger in recent days, to no avail. Her fellow Republicans also tried the same and were mocked online. Privately, Trump has complained to his entourage about media attention. given to attacks.
This is further proof that the “strange” line of attack is working, and it has been a long time coming. This coincided with Harris erasing Trump’s electoral merit and crushing him in fundraising. The question is how Harris and Democrats will build on this foundation to achieve a sure victory in November.
Elon Musk’s new super PAC collects a lot of private information about the electorate under the guise of inviting them to register to vote, as part of his efforts to bring Donald Trump’s presidential campaign to life.
Earlier this month, Musk denied reports that he was donating $45 million a month to Trump’s crusade in an interview with right-wing commentator Jordan Peterson. Instead, the technocrat clarified that he had created a new super PAC, called America PAC.
Musk’s America PAC is a door-to-door operation, allowing him to work in direct coordination with the Trump campaign, according to an FEC notice from earlier this year. This allows Musk and his fellow Silicon Valley donors to put their hands (and their cash) into the presidential race on Trump’s behalf.
Exactly how they plan to continue is even more troubling.
America PAC introduced a series of virtual classified ads that employ the Trump assassination symbol to urge other people browsing Google to “register to vote,” CNBC reported Friday. In states where the final results are certain, such as California, classified ads direct them to a voter registration site.
But in key battleground states, users are directed to a very different page, which triggers them to enter their phone number, address and age. Once completed, users are greeted with a “Thank you” page, without any actual link to the page. voter registration at sight.
Musk’s US PAC has invested $800,000 in virtual classified ads to target voters in key states of Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to AdImpact. The accumulated responses of users to this advertising crusade will indicate the prospecting of the PAC. efforts in those states.
Musk’s American PAC has already attracted money from some Silicon Valley billionaires. Douglas Leone and Shaun Maguire, general partners at Sequoia Capital, donated $1 million and $500,000, respectively, according to The American Prospect. Musk’s SpaceX. ) Joe Lonsdale, one of the co-founders of military contractor Palantir, donated $1 million in June. Palantir was founded through Peter Thiel, who helped fund J. D. Vance’s debut in politics.
Apparently, Musk’s plan for the U. S. PAC is a key factor in the future. The U. S. has already had a rocky start. After spending at least $15 million with In Field Strategies, a box seller that organizes pollsters, the PAC ended its relationship with the company, two other people familiar with it told The New York Times. It’s unclear exactly what happened to that money, and now more than a hundred pollsters who were hired through In Field on behalf of America PAC in mid-June are located across the country to work.
The PAC will now have to scramble to get its prospecting crusade underway before early voting can begin, according to the Times. The director of Trump’s crusade, Chris LaCivita, called the Times report “more fake news. . . The new program is one hundred percent bigger than the old gang. ” Strongly this effort,” in an article about X.
