falsely claiming there is a flood of murderers from around the world -- he singled out "Congo" -- being let into the United States by Harris, who he said has "destroyed our country."

Did Trump see the movie 'Congo' recently?

There is evidence that the reason he keeps mentioning Hannibal Lecter in speeches is he confuses people escaping from insane asylums with political asylum.

The insanity is increasing and MAGA is following.

Can this website post a balanced article for a change? These "articles" basically read like press releases from Democrat HQ. It doesn't have to be pro- one or the other. Just balanced and neutral. Is that too much to ask?

Feel free to head elsewhere. Perhaps the daily stormer or Gateway pundit would be more to your liking?

The size of Harris's Tuesday rally was a warning sign to Trump, who has long touted his ability to draw thousands of passionate supporters, in contrast to Biden's usually meager crowds.

This objectively factual statement is what really gets under the skin of the Insurrectionist in Chief and his cult rubes.

America has never elected a woman as President ever

Never done it ever, eh?

Always an initial first time to do something never ever done before.

She has a chance.

I would say MAGA madness looks to be in increasing along with Trump's own.

Blame KDS- Kamala Derangement Syndrome.

It looks weird and worse because it is mostly baseless and racist.

MAGA might do better, but they can't

Trump is scared to debate her because he’s scared of intelligent women.

And like all bullies, he’s a coward. So he’s trying to get out of his commitments (Shocker!) by changing the terms previously agreed upon.

He’s trying to run away without looking like he’s running away.

Like everything else in his sorry existence, he’s failing.

There is a lot of evidence in this speech and others since his assassination attempt.

Such as?

Scroll up.

Congo, Hannibal Lecter black jobs, Indian or Black.

Weird

Wait…question, so the Dems are prevailers of truth, dignity and honesty???

True,and good at English too.

The End

Bookies odds on Harris shortening…polls tightening…Trump making less sense as the days go by…Vance a terrible VP pick.

Quite a bit of time left.

This is not the end. This is going to be tight as usual.

Same venue with a lot of empty seats for the cringy old weird guy.

Trump is back to his gutter self flowing with lies. Why does he do it?

participated in a "massive cover-up of the president's mental incapacity" over several months.

Trump?

There is a lot

The old man Trump outshines everyone when it comes to GOB and slagging off.

The election in 2020 wasn't tight. It was a historical win by Biden/Harris.

Biden blew him out of the water on the popular vote but it was tight in some of the swing states.

I’m ignoring the stolen election types.

"In a succession of Truth Social posts after calling off his planned ABC debate with Harris, Trump called Harris “low IQ,” “dumb,” and said she lacked the “mental capacity” to debate him."

"The flurry of posts followed a banner week for Harris, in which she announced a massive fundraising haul of $310 million in July."

Similar to the MAGA attacks on AOC even though AOC and Harris are more qualified and qell spoken than Trump and his poorly educated cult

Another weird and disgusting MAGAism.

Trump is bailing out on confirmed debate date he agreed to.

Trump is scared to get beat down by a black woman, 2 things he hates.

participated in a "massive cover-up of the president's mental incapacity" over several months.

Trump and the GOP?

There is a lot of evidence in this speech and others since his assassination attempt.

The hysterics about the left and conspiracies are on display with his followers about Harris now. A woman and POC seems to ramp up the hysterics from even with Biden.

The Democrats were so scared of this debate but they didn't want to change the date and venue.

They changed the whole candidate.

Bwahahahahaha.

As is typical, a lot of bias in this article. Trump has to be the villain so the article has to be skewed in Kamala's favor regardless.

And I'm sorry, was there a mention in THIS article about how the Sept 10th debate that was schedule was planned to be with Joe Biden and not Kamala? What happened to Joe btw? Oh yeah...

Trump is scared to debate her because he’s scared of intelligent women. 

Nonsense, he married an intelligent woman, has intelligent women in his family, no reason for the guy to be scared.

And like all bullies, he’s a coward.

Because he refuses to waltz in the Dems traps???

So he’s trying to get out of his commitments (Shocker!) by changing the terms previously agreed upon. 

Why go on a lib network that will either give you a script or heads up or face moderators that ask you gotcha questions?? They did that to Bush, McCain, Romney, they were careful with Ben Carson, wasn’t easy though for them

He’s trying to run away without looking like he’s running away. 

Again, not true, he didn’t run, he just a fair debate with fair moderators

Like everything else in his sorry existence, he’s failing.

Not what the polls are showing. Try again.

What insurrection?? Anyway, Kamala can entertain all the Swifties she wants, good for her, now if they want to elect someone based on race and gender that’s up to them. He has his followers and she has hers

Congo, Hannibal Lecter black jobs, Indian or Black.

That’s it? That’s all the Left has?

Weird

Bookies odds on Harris shortening…polls tightening…

They did as well with Hillary

Trump making less sense as the days go by…Vance a terrible VP pick.

When the left and establishment hates a person that much it means Trump made an outstanding pick.

Quite a bit of time left.

Yes, the Dems keeping Kamala on the ballot

This is not the end. This is going to be tight as usual.

It always was, but wait until the debates.

Trump said he was willing to debate Harris on the conservative-leaning Fox News network on September 4, while declining to participate in a previously scheduled debate on ABC.

Well, if Harris isn’t scared she can take Trump on his offer instead of running her mouth all the time.

What sources would you recommend for balanced coverage? 

FNC or Newsmax a close second

You aren’t doing a good job of making a case for non-partisanship here.

You can’t on the other networks because they don’t cater to conservatives at all whereas the other 2 networks do

Trump?

There is a lot

Imaginary wishful thinking?

There is a lot of evidence in this speech and others since his assassination attempt. 

Such as?

The hysterics about the left and conspiracies are on display with his followers about Harris now.

And your point?

A woman and POC seems to ramp up the hysterics from even with Biden.

Really?

Good, the left can think what they want. Thank you Matt Taibi and Shellenberger
