Someone get grandpa some new talking points because the cult’s getting bored, lol.

Can’t wait to see and listen to Harris cross examine him during the debate.

"Trump says Harris easier to beat than Biden; calls her 'lunatic'."
Yes she is in a fair and just elections. But mind you the Dems dirty cult never plays fair. Interestingly this how they play. "They forcefully hold your hand, slap you using your own hand." Then they scream why are you beating yourself. It's simple effective strategy especially when implemented in a cult like atmosphere. To be her you need your best game President DJT because the racial and feminine cards are on her side.

The kind of people pictured carrying the Trump flag are the only ones going to be moved by Trump's rhetoric about Harris' race, DEI and intellect.
Everyone else is going to read it and have to come to the conclusion Trump is the one facing severe cognitive challenges.
It is why Harris is surging

Has annyone EVER heard Trump laugh other than when belittling people making others suffer?
Nope, no envy there, NO SIR!
THIS is the statement of a well-ordered mind ready to hold the launch codes……

Thank you for the masterful impression of the rhetoric of Trump.
The number of people this rhetoric can convince is shrinking on daily basis though.
OssanAmerica
Crazy person calling sane person a "lunatic".
That 4 years later he's still rambling about losing due to election fraud (after some 60 or so failed Court attempts) is sufficient evidence that the Republican Party has a Presidential candidate who is outright crazy. In addition to being everything else from Convicted Felon, Rapist to Fraud., etc etc. The GOP has destroyed itself and they will lose in November big time. The Country is tired of his childish incessant name calling and insults and is eager to move on.
John
I like candidates who aren’t insane AND convicted felons.

Trump said "Old Joe" was a pushover in the elections. He wanted revenge for his 2020 failure but that will never happen now.
Trump is now saying Harris is easier to beat than Biden.
He sure does throw personal insults like a baseball. Low education I guess. Lack of dignity is probable.
We'll see a leveling in the debates.

What is really shrinking and sinking faster than titanic is the number of Kamala's admirers. When they come to know her and Tampons Walz policies better.
GuruMick
Trump used different sized Tic Tak containers to try to explain "inflation "
The man is a genius.
Pukey2
Well, the word salads haven't gone away just because Biden has been couped by his own party and Kamala has been foisted on the public. She is literally giving Trump material to use. Can you imagine Trump also resorting to putting on a southern accent or a Black accent?
bass4funk
Can't wait for Trump to pick her apart, just let her talk and talk and talk. Easy rebuttal

One is a convicted felon, known liar, and petty on a level few people in the world ever get into. Seems he has a few nicknames. https://news.sky.com/story/donald-trump-supporters-wear-nappies-13129050
The other will be our next President and she won't need to wear "Depends". I'll sleep better because I won't have to worry about the President making stupid statements, lying about almost everything, or filling his diapers.

Can you imagine Trump pretending to care about the working class people he's spent a lifetime ripping off? Pathetic, dude.

We could call this the pot calling the kettle black except Harris definitely isn’t a kettle. Let’s just call it what it is: a sour grapes tantrum from a guy rapidly approaching his second (Though the first never really ended ) childhood. It would be just sad if so much wasn’t at stake.
Jimizo
He is getting a bit stale.
Same old stuff.
Maybe one change is he’ll probably cut back on his criticisms of EVs.
John
And according to Trump, she just recently “turned bLack”…
The creepy-weird way he accentuates the “L” really doesn’t get enough attention.
wallace
People were bored after 60 minutes. Same ole'. Started to leave. A very small crowd by Trump claimed rants. "It was huge".
bass4funk
He does, that is the reason why the GOP are the party of the working man
John
Maybe if he’d warmed them up with Chachi and Kid-Rock…
bass4funk
Yeah, the left were trying their best again, really trying and failing
Cards fan
He does not. That's why he jokes about firing striking union workers.
John
Too bad there’s video of people leaving, multiple rallies….
And scrolling their phones mid-rant when prevented from leaving early.
Thats all on video.

Great article guys. Awesome stuff. Journalism working its magic. Kamala was not a popular vice president, ( she has been cringeworthy since the start with her word salads, childsplaining and cackles ) nor did she boost confidence in her own party members until now, like magic, she gets to walk on water and become the second coming. I get the trump aversion and hatred, nothing new there, but really? An overnight savior? Has she even done an interview yet?
It won’t be popular, but just like the delusion that Biden was fit for office all this time, the lie that everyone was forced to believe, Kamala has been slotted in and the same game is being played, just with a different person. I would even wager a bet that hard core democrats are quite happy to play pretend and not have a capable leader at the helm, either that or they click those red shiny shoes together, close their eyes and just believe really, really hard. The media in full gush mode has also been a nice sideshow to witness.
Once again we are seeing politics merge with psychological. Two very different mindsets and temperaments at play for the high stacks card game that we call American politics.
Heres a side question to ponder. Which of the two sides of the political fence would be more accepting, mature and mentally stable if the other side were to win? Am sure the JT readers would be split on the answer to that one. Whichever side that is, for the sake of the future of the nation, should win.
Good luck to them both.

What were the left trying because I do not know?
From the article
"The Mohegan Sun Arena, where Trump appeared, has a capacity of roughly 8,000 and was nearly full when he started speaking. But the crowd began to thin after the one-hour mark. He spoke for more than 100 minutes in total."
Are you saying that is not true?

To be fair, this IS the side dumb enough to claim an event attended by several independent media outlets was “AI’ed”, so…..
bass4funk
He does, if he didn't they would never propel him to where he's at.

When Harris is president she won't be sending ranting tweets at 4 am.
Norm
Absolutely. He even reminded everyone — in a classic self-own — of the Access Hollywood clip. A golden oldie. The clip, I mean.
But you forgot two important words: “very stable.”
I wonder if he’s still in North Carolina. (Cue up James Taylor.)

GOP are the party of Trump.

Convicted felon, nearly bankrupt and down in the polls?
Thats a lot to ask of one’s cult…
Cards fan
You mean losing nationally and just about every swing state?
Trump doesn't care about working class folks which is why he wants to fire them if they strike. That's illegal, by the way.

Really? You couldn't put any other conservative establishment clutching network?
Oh, I disagree.

An insult to leave out the millions of working women but there again they took away the women's right to a termination.
John
Thats why he jokes about firing workers fro striking (which is illegal).
It’s BECAUSE he cares so much.
I mean, didn’t we just see him ramble incoherently in front of his private club?
Nothing, I mean NOTHING says “man of the people” like a members-only golf club!

cardfans:
And you think AIPAC Harris cares too? They're ALL in on it. The only anti-war candidates have been pushed out on purpose and aren't even allowed to have a debate with the uniparty. That's really pathetic. Jill Stein of the Green Party is running again. Several years ago she was arrested for simply wanting a debate. People should have to choose between a Zionist warmonger and another Zionist warmonger. THAT is pathetic, dude.

Duhhh I dunno, it's weally tough tur say. Do me thinks the union endorsed candidate is more pro-working class than the guy talking about illegally firing striking workers? How can anyone know? Reeee
Jill Stein is a Russian stooge who. Why am I not surprised to see you shilling for her? Shocking

Trump is for the working guys?
At his Scottish golf club, he raised the fees for a round of golf to £1,000. No working person can afford that.

Exactly.

how dumb do you have to be to think that trump somehow is related the american flag?
the most unamerican american.
5 time draft dodger. trump daddy’s podiatrist tenant got some free rent. which foot was it? he can’t remember.
6 times bankrupt and a string of unsuccessful businesses. airline, steaks, casino, university, construction company, etc.
cited for racial discrimination in the apartments his daddy gave him. wouldn’t rent to blacks.
doesn't pay any tax at all.
convicted multiple times, not just this year, for business tax fraud.
says workers should be fired if they try to unionize.
says now that he wants to take guns away from americans.
thinks fallen military people were suckers - nothing in it for them.
he’s a disgrace to the american flag.

Donald Trump wants to beat a woman? Well, can’t say I’m surprised.

He should not love himself? Why not?
Dems have been doing that for years and in particular for the last 3 years
Harris can be understood, if the teleprompter is calibrated properly, go for it. Show us how a real Marxist thinks
DaDude
So she could get owned AGAIN like she did her debates 4 years ago and you said nothing about wanting her to be a future POTUS.
fxgai
Just one example, but what is this “news”?
Where is the basis for this claim?
”most economists” defined, how? Which economists?
The media is so full of BS when it comes to political reporting.
John
So light years ahead of the short-fingered vulgarian who can’t even do that. At his club he was pointing to the words IN HIS SCRIPT, and still couldn’t put a thought together.
Wow, what an own, lol.
Cards fan
Really now? How consumers not ultimately paying for tariffs on imported goods? I challenge you to find any economist (you can define "economist" how you want) who thinks consumers will not be paying for those tariffs.

let's enjoy some trump quotes.
"they want electric tanks. they want electric planes. what happens if the sun isn't shining when they're up in the air? they want electric boats, the problem is they don't float."

I think the Dems are lightyears when it comes to that.
Really, we all get a cloudy moment, never known a human being that didn't
Why funny? We are after all fallible as humans, even Democrats.

If Democrats are really confident about Harris debating Trump, then how about several debates? That’s what Trump team is requesting.
bass4funk
Bingo!
Cards fan
Well that pretty much settles it. If it has the b4f seal of approval it's total nonsense.
Well done, Fx. :)
Jimizo
Did she? Sounds a bit partisan.
I remember the debate with the fly on Pence’s head. Neither were particularly impressive. Neither were great debaters.
One advantage Harris might have here is that Trump is in clear mental decline. Pence wasn’t.
Have to wait and see.
fxgai
Um, I wasn’t the one who made wild claim about “most economists”. One can easily find a partisan Trump economist who will say something else, you, if you think about it, can surely agree?
The point is that the media here makes a wild claim about “most economists”, without providing any evidence to back it up. Neither do you, and for some reason feel a need to defend it when any impartial person can see how ridiculous a claim it is. There are a lot of economists in the world, and there is no way that most of them were interviewed or even sample surveyed for this media slant.
DudeDeuce
Not really. As you have insiders knowledge of the DNC it seems, you avoided this question for some reason:
bass4funk
No, I just find lib logic when it comes to economics hilarious
Thank you
fxgai
While the media is at making grand proclamations about what most economists think, perhaps they like also make a proclamation about what most economists think of 1970’s style price controls?
bass4funk
Not even close
Hmm...
I think based on her history of word salads, we can surmise.
Cards fan
Is a partisan Trump economist "most economists?" Of course not. What an silly, absurd point to raise to prove the media's "partisanship." Do you really think "most economists" would disagree that import tariffs are effectively a tax on US consumers? Come on now.
It's not "wild" it's common sense. And point how one "partisan Trump economist" (your exact words) does nothing to prove that most economists do, in fact, dispute the claim that tariffs are not a tax on consumers.
oh well, we better go and interview all of the hundreds of thousands economists less we be accused of "wild partisanship." lmao
dagon
That settles it then.
Fox, Trump and some made up internet anecdotes are the authority on Marxist dialectic and Harris /Walz are Communists.
You are cognitively challenged if you believe that, full stop but that is MAGA for you.
Enjoy your medical bankruptcy and declining standards of living and paying a disproportionate tax burden compared to your non tax paying billionaire messiah.

Economists:

one more:
who says it’s good?
“It provided quotes from media figures like CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer and Democratic lawmakers like Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., praising Harris' economic plans.”
are they economists?

bass4funk: "No, I just find lib logic when it comes to economics hilarious"
Didn't read your other 50 posts so far on this thread, but had to chuckle at this one. You believe in Trump's economics -- tariffs on all foreign products that would have US citizens paying 10 times more for things they are now, with no more money to pay for them. hahaha. Other than that, he has said nothing of what he would do. NOTHING. Well, besides his usual senile rants and shouting at clouds.
Trump is done. The best part is that when he loses, he knows he is also going to prison for life. And there is no one Trump hates and disrespects more than his supporters, whom he thinks are stupider than he is -- which is to say, he hates you, bass, same as you hated him before 2016, but moreso.

Michael Jones, an economics professor at the University of Cincinnati, said a government-imposed ceiling on prices could cause stores to run out of goods in times of scarcity.
"If there's a restriction on the prices that companies can charge for products, they simply won't supply them," Jones told ABC News.
John
Somehow these “commie” attacks aren’t hitting the mark.
Could it be because it’s not true?
Could it be because Trump wouldn’t know a communist if he found one partially dressed back stage at his beauty contest?
Or, could it be because he is a raging sociopath and the country as a whole is just saying “nope. Not doing that again”?
Actually it’s all of them.

Says one thing, does another:
“On taxes, she’s promised to eliminate the Trump tax cuts, and she voted against the package when it expanded the child tax credit," he said. "It doesn’t matter what she says today. When she had the choice, she supported higher taxes.
"No wonder her handlers don’t want her to talk. Every time she does, she causes problems for herself."
all the free stuff isn’t free. Just a $3600 child tax credit would cost 1 trillion. How’s she paying for it?

the rally was full, even this biased article doesn’t try to claim that nonsense.
“The Mohegan Sun Arena, where Trump appeared, has a capacity of roughly 8,000 and was nearly full when he started speaking.”
Kamala had 250 in North Carolina the other day, including media. Where she is supposedly winning now, per Dem oversampled NY Times polling.

Now Trump is the old and decrepit one.

Meanwhile Trump is sending Cease and Desist letters to the republicans of the Lincoln Project. The rebuttal is epic. They bait him to file an actual lawsuit. Pointing out they know about the web of LLC he's using the skim money from the campaign. Name dropping the ones they already know about. Daring him to file so they can go all out on discovery on the shady dealings of the campaign. And using some choice words to drive home how little respect they have for them.
On its face, if what they are saying is lies, Trump could sue them for slander. If he doesn't sue you'll know it's true and he is skimming money from the campaign.
Harris/Walz has momentum on their side, and short election cycle. Most polls under rate Trump if you look at polls vs results in 2016 and 2020. Which means when you look at swing states Harris needs 4-6 point lead.
John
There are pictures. Lots of empty seats and that was BEFORE he started boring them.
