He wants to emphasize that he's doing many press conferences while Kamala is doing none. But, his press conferences are ramblings of a senile old man off his medication (that should have been prescribed but never was). So, do they actually qualify as press conferences? I think not.
From what I read, there not calling these rallies because the rallies have been a nightmare in size and substance, these are supposed to be "press conferences" that focus on policy, but we see how well that went. You can tell he struggled to stay on message yesterday....I love the line where were all gonna be wealthier and young folks will be able to buy a house and all will be unicorns and rainbows but has no follow up on the "how". This way they can say there doing press conferences, but that didn't look like a press conference to me, it looked like the gop trying to reign in the liar in chief and stop calling Harris dumb........ and it worked............for about 5 minutes. A tiger doesnt change his stripes and trump is going to do it his way, and I for one would tell him, you be you sir, I have all the faith in the world you will **** this up
Official statement from the Republican candidate for President. (Yeah, it sounds weird when I typed it out too.)
@AroundTheWorld Democrats and Republicans both have extreme elements that are antisemitic. The Republican presidential candidate has a history of endorsing and dining with antisemitic figures. In contrast, the Democratic candidate does not. Everyone has their own views on what matters more. To me, the leader of a party that actively supports antisemitic figures is far more concerning than the extreme elements within each party.
Trump is as crazy as a loon. Everything he says is a direct reflection of his own twisted, crooked, and hate-filled mindset. He's toxic.
He's changed his tone. He's now saying, vote early, vote by mail, vote in person—vote in whatever ways are available. But he still will not accept the results if he loses and will do everything he can to overturn them, including resorting to political violence and threats.
That's exactly it. One is the leader and candidate of the entire party. The others are single members that have some extreme positions and statements.
While it is true that both parties have extreme elements that are antisemitic, Trump's policies while in power strengthened Israel, while Obama's and then Biden's/Harris' actions strengthened Iran.
somebody on here told me the other day “Trump has repeatedly distanced himself from project 2025”…so naive
NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is asking the judge in his New York hush money criminal caseto delay his sentencing until after the November presidential election. In a letter made public Thursday, a lawyer for the former president and current Republican nominee suggested that sentencing Trump as scheduled on Sept. 18 — about seven weeks before Election Day — would amount to election interference. Trump lawyer Todd Blanche wrote that a delay would also allow Trump time to weigh next steps after the trial judge, Juan M. Merchan, is expected to rule Sept. 16 on the defense’s request to overturn the verdict and dismiss the case because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s July presidential immunity ruling. “There is no basis for continuing to rush,” Blanche wrote. Blanche sent the letter to Merchan on Wednesday after the judge rejected the defense’s latest request that he step aside from the case. In the letter, Blanche reiterated the defense argument that the judge has a conflict of interest because his daughter works as a Democratic political consultant, including for Kamala Harris when she sought the 2020 presidential nomination. Harris is now running against Trump. By adjourning the sentencing until after that election, “the Court would reduce, even if not eliminate, issues regarding the integrity of any future proceedings,” Blanche wrote. Merchan, who has said he is confident in his ability to remain fair and impartial, did not immediately rule on the delay request. A message seeking comment was left with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, which prosecuted Trump’s case. Trump was convicted in May of falsifying his business’ records to conceal a 2016 deal to pay off p*rn actor Stormy Daniels to stay quiet about her alleged 2006 sexual encounter with him. Prosecutors cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him during his first campaign. Trump says all the stories were false, the business records were not and the case was a political maneuver meant to damage his current campaign. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a Democrat. Trump’s defense argued that the payments were indeed for legal work and so were correctly categorized. Falsifying business records is punishable by up to four years behind bars. Other potential sentences include probation, a fine or a conditional discharge which would require Trump to stay out of trouble to avoid additional punishment. Trump is the first ex-president convicted of a crime. Trump has pledged to appeal, but that cannot happen until he is sentenced. In a previous letter, Merchan set Sept. 18 for “the imposition of sentence or other proceedings as appropriate.” Blanche argued in his letter seeking a delay that the quick turnaround from the scheduled immunity ruling on Sept. 16 to sentencing two days later is unfair to Trump. To prepare for sentencing, Blanche argued, prosecutors will be submitting their punishment recommendation while Merchan is still weighing whether to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. If Merchan rules against Trump on the dismissal request, he will need “adequate time to assess and pursue state and federal appellate options,” Blanche said. The Supreme Court’s immunity decision reins in prosecutions of ex-presidents for official acts and restricts prosecutors in pointing to official acts as evidence that a president’s unofficial actions were illegal. Trump’s lawyers argue that in light of the ruling, jurors in the hush money case should not have heard such evidence as former White House staffers describing how the then-president reacted to news coverage of the Daniels deal.
I know we differ on this, but Trump made Iran more dangerous when he unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. He said he would renegotiate and replace it with something amazing, but of course, he didn’t. Had he succeeded, it might have been a different story. Instead, he dismantled an agreement that, while not perfect, helped the world keep Iran's nuclear ambitions in check, and then left. It’s not surprising that Iran is now closer to developing a nuclear bomb. Israeli intelligence has said it was a mistake to abandon the deal in the way Trump did. This is just one of many examples where I think Trump simply focuses on his own interests first and makes decisions without considering the consequences. Whether future decisions might end up being beneficial for Israel or a disaster is a matter of chance and not principle. To each their own, but I cannot trust someone who is self-arrogant and has a need for self-importance to the point of willful delusion about simple facts (eg. crowd size) and talks about strange things that make very little sense. Also, as pointed out, Trump actively supports antisemitic figures. I don't think this means he's antisemitic, but it means he doesn't care if antisemitism happens.
I have no problem with this. There's no reason to rush and there's no reason to give them a built-in excuse to claim interferance...whether it is or not.
No special treatment, it is just sentencing, nothing more than that, which will allow him to appeal..... This country needs to stop being afraid of doing the right thing. DD
Trump and the GOP's Anti-Woke stance is not going to win them the majority of votes. Political leaders who defend social justice, racial equity, and diversity and inclusion are in line with the majority of voters — and they should not be worried about voters turning against them to fight the “woke mind virus” this November. 66% of voters say “it is better for everyone when we focus on studying and addressing social injustices,” while 24% say it is worse. 57% of voters say “state governments should not ban public and private sector institutions” from establishing DEI programs,” while 30% say they should. 55% of voters say “discussing topics like diversity, equity, and inclusion brings together people of different identities,” while 37% say these topics are divisive. 54% of voters say “my state should take an active role in addressing racial inequality,” while 36% say “racial inequality is a thing of the past.” 54% of voters say “it's most important that we use language that is respectful and sensitive,” while 36% say “it's most import https://www.dataforprogress.org/insights/2024/6/6/voters-have-tired-of-the-war-on-woke
I think DeSantis’s anti-woke presidential campaign is pretty good indication that not only does it fail to win a majority of votes, but it also turns people off. The problem with an anti-woke campaign is that it is inherently anti-choice and anti-freedom (taking rights from parents to make personal family decisions and banning books by the government, to name a few examples)
Not one item on this very public and easily accessible list looks unreasonable, fascist, threatening, un-democratic, dangerous, or non-common sensical. A reasonable person shouldn't have any problem with this platform.
