In a painful turning point for his campaign, Donald Trump now appears to be the bellicose old candidate that President Joe Biden made him out to be.
At a massive rally in downtown Atlanta on Saturday, the Republican presidential nominee made several memorable verbal blunders, adding that he couldn’t utter undeniable words and, at one point, completely wasting the way after delivering Vice President Kamala Harris’ call.
“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 reality, and regardless of Trump’s twisted memory, Harris told The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2020 that the Black Lives Matter protests were “not going to stop. ” And they shouldn’t, and we shouldn’t.
Meanwhile, Trump has continually boasted about passing cognitive screening and has since argued that it should be mandatory for all public officials running for senior office.
In the years since he “passed” the exam, Trump has invariably replaced the questions he would have won on the exam, infrequently boasting of reciting five words and performing a fundamental multiplication, while at other times insisting that he had passed the right way. Friendly 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 the debate. held on September 10 by 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 media corporation 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 perform, a far cry from the previous debate on CNN. , which took place. without a hearing.
Trump cited ongoing litigation against ABC News and host George Stephanopolous as a new explanation for his reason for leaving 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 argued that he did not want to debate Harris because she was already ahead in the polls, a claim that turned out to be false. A week earlier, he had had an entirely different excuse. His team said it would not be able to debate a Democratic candidate who has not been 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 (writes 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 withdraw from the debate in which he has already accepted and rushes directly to Fox News to rescue him. He wants to prevent gambling and appear in the debate in which he is already involved 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 on which the two campaigns already agreed. ” . Anytime, anywhere, anywhere, he won’t have any challenges, 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, who opted to put “You’re Fired” on official rally signs, an ironic turn of events for the former Truth TV star. The signs 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 to the television screens.
Instead, millions of Americans watched the Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates speak to a crowd of enthusiastic T-shirt-wearing, symptomatic supporters calling for their departure.

Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J. D. Vance, spent the rally sowing concern about crime and immigration, adding that “the suburbs will be overrun by violent crime and savage foreign gangs” if they don’t win in November, as they sought to erode Vice President Kamala Harris’ momentum. But even without managing to craft a genuine crusade against the sudden Democratic presidential nominee, Trump and Vance hurled a series of half-hearted, preschool-like insults at him.
“She turns out to be a user with a very low IQ. We don’t want a person with a low IQ,” Trump said Saturday of Harris. “He’s Bernie Sanders, but not as smart. “
In part of the rally, Trump lied that Harris was looking for “people to avoid eating red meat” and that she wanted to “get rid of her cows. “More cows. He also stated that he didn’t need “anyone to say Merry Christmas. “
And, in a shocking aspect, 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 swap that brought back Wall Street Daily reporter Evan Gershkovich after a year. -long 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 X account run through the Trump campaign, posted a video of Biden and Harris on the trail.
“Kamala watches as Biden moves aimlessly down the runway and almost trips down the stairs of the plane (whose passengers had already disembarked long ago),” the account writes. “This is the apparent decline that Kamala has hidden in her lust for power: The scandal of the century. “

There are many problems with this article, so let’s go through them one by one. The post’s so-called “rejection” refers to Biden boarding the plane to thank the pilots, not that he was traveling on an empty plane with Harris and left dazed 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 just a small window into the Trump campaign’s confusing efforts to replace their rhetoric around Harris, whom they are now forced to blame for everything they once tried to blame on Biden. Thursday’s former prisoner replacement was a sore point for Trump, who seemed disappointed. that he had not been involved in the complex negotiations; However, lashing out at him like this is pathetic.
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 the other former Trump adviser is serving a criminal conviction for contempt of Congress. Navarro began to panic about the non-public attitude of the Republicans. attacks on Harris’s private life or her way of laughing, telling them to “shut up”.
“Do we have women when we call Kamala a whore or when we make fun of her, Ted Cruz?” Navarro asked, provoking a fight with the Texas senator. “That’s the case. Shut up. This doesn’t get us anywhere!
“Women, when they hear this, feel resentment, especially towards old white people who tell this. Shut up,” added Navarro, who is also an old white man who served a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

Navarro did not mention Trump by name, but Trump has referred to Harris as “Kamala Laughing” and alluded to her private life in smears. His mention of “old white men” may also be related to Trump’s racist attacks, specifically on Wednesday when the former president spoke at the convention of the National Association of Black Journalists. While some Republicans disagreed with the comments, others defended Trump.
The more Republicans launch these attacks, the more it makes them look bad and reinforces Democrats’ effective attacks on the weirdness of the Republican Party. Even a global MAGA figure like Navarro may see this as counterproductive. Still, he didn’t mention Trump. through name, and the Republican Party will continue to adhere to the example of the former president and convicted felon. Will Trump find his way or leave the Republican Party in a deep hole as November approaches?
Former President Donald Trump’s new excuse for why he wouldn’t 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 she’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 it, 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 poll conducted by RMG Research between July 29 and July 31 and released Friday found Harris advanced on five issues with 47 percent, compared to Trump’s 42 percent. A YouGov/The Economist vote conducted between July 27 and 30 found that Harris beat Trump. two issues, from 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’s crusade launched a reaction to Trump’s new and lame excuse. “Donald Trump will have to cheer up. He has no problem spreading lies and hate speech at his rallies or in interviews with right-wing commentators. But supposedly he is too afraid to do it sitting in front of the vice president of the United States,” he said.
Harris’ crusader has insisted that she will attend the presidential debate hosted through ABC News, scheduled for Sept. 10, regardless of whether her opponent deigns to run.
“She’ll wait there to see if she 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 member of Congress from 2006 to 2019 and was well-liked by fellow Democrats. That includes the former House speaker, who was instrumental in convincing Joe Biden to drop out of the race and provided Harris with abundant support from the start.
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,” Rep. Jim McGovern said. “He was a wonderful member of the Congreso. La people I know in Minnesota tell me he’s a perfect governor. . . But most importantly, he’s a smart guy. He’s down to earth, it’s a genuine deal, there’s nothing with him, and he calls them as he sees them, and he says it as it is, and I appreciate the candor.
“I need someone who is strongly pro-worker and understands work, because it’s an important component of the elegance calendar and ensuring that we win the elegance votes,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. “I like the governor Walz. Me I like the things he was able to do. I like the fact that it comes from a rural village; I like the fact that he has experience in the military.
Walz’s popularity has grown since the vice president entered the race more than two weeks ago. He has effectively criticized Republicans like J. D. Vance and won against the right on Fox News. If Pelosi is in favor of Walz joining Harris’ list, it may simply 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 religion in their candidate.
Gun rights activist and human killer Kyle Rittenhouse announced Thursday that he would include Ron Paul’s call in his November election, shortly after posting that he had the “incredible pleasure” of meeting with the former United States representative.
Hours later, Rittenhouse made a video about X explaining his decision not to help Trump. “A lot of people are disappointed because I said I was going to write about Ron Paul for president of the United States. And it’s true, I will 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 for killing two other people and seriously injuring other protests against racism and police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that summer. He 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 a lot of 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 are well, I just want to tell you that you do not wish to belittle Kamela as a person,” the user @stopeow wrote. “Women hate it. “
Its user, @Th3ManyFacedGod, wrote: “You want to replace the noise and start attacking Kamala Harris’ political positions and Kamala Harris as a person!!»
One 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 these elections for us! She calls Kelly Ann and pays attention to people smarter than you. You’re ruining everything.
Earlier this week, Trump slammed 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, pointing out his reluctance to change course.
Donald Trump still can’t stand Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats calling him “weird. “
In an interview with conservative radio host Clay Travis on Thursday, Trump attempted to fight back through his embattled parties that were strangers in themselves.
“They are the rarest. ” No one has ever called me weird. I am many things, but curiously I am Array and I am frank. And neither does he, I tell you. J. D. 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 laughter and all that, it’s something that’s happening there,” Trump said.
Harris posted the audio of the interview on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday night, mocking the former president and convicted felon.
Trump (which is strange): They are the strangers!No one has ever called me weird. I am many things and, curiously, I am not. And JD Vance doesn’t pic. twitter. com/R4d8wh3qM9 either
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 the Democrats will build on this foundation to secure victory in November.
Elon Musk’s new super PAC is collecting a lot of private information about the electorate under the guise of inviting them to register to vote, as part of its efforts to breathe life into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
Earlier this month, Musk denied reports that he would donate $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 worrying.
The America PAC has introduced a series of virtual classified ads employing the symbol of Trump’s assassination, urging other people browsing Google to “register to vote,” CNBC reported Friday. In states where the final results are certain, such as California, the classified ads direct them to a voter registration site.
But in key battleground states, users are directed to a very different page, which activates them to enter their phone number, address and age. Once completed, users are greeted with a “Thank You” page, with no actual link to the page. Voter registration in sight.
Musk’s U. S. PAC has invested $800,000 in virtual classified ads to target voters in key states in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to AdImpact. The accumulation of user responses to this publicity crusade will indicate the PAC’s prospection. 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 finance J. D. Vance’s debut in politics.
Apparently, Musk’s plan for the US PAC is already off to a rocky start. After spending at least $15 million with In Field Strategies, a box vendor that organizes canvassers, the PAC ended its relationship with the company, two other people close to it said. said The New York Times. It’s unclear exactly what happened to that money, and now more than a hundred pollsters who had been hired through In Field on behalf of America PAC in mid-June are scattered across the country to work.
The PAC will now have to scramble to get its counting crusade underway before early voting can begin, according to the Times. Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita called the Times report “more fake news. . . The new schedule is one hundred percent larger than the previous one. “This effort is firm,” in an article about X.
