Trump slurring & confused at disaster rally, supporters SILENT
In a recent rally, more evidence was presented of Donald Trump's apparent cognitive decline, including instances where he appeared confused, slurred words, and made false claims. Clips from the event highlighted Trump's inaccurate statements on gas prices. He later challenged the audience to name one positive change under Biden, when there are many factual improvements in unemployment, stock market highs, and GDP growth. Trump's statements about the economy by Christmas 2024 raised questions about his cognitive abilities, and he boasted about passing a cognitive exam, but the rally took a surreal turn as he misunderstood the role of the Supreme Court, claiming prosecutors were seeking a guilty plea from the Court. Trump attacked the media for allegedly ignoring Biden's supposed crimes and predicted an economic depression if he were not re-elected, despite current economic indicators. The rally concluded with Trump labeling Joe Biden as a "low IQ individual," and the crowd appeared highly energized by this remark.
Trump in shambles, stock market ALL TIME HIGH
Recent market developments have seen all-time record highs, refuting Donald Trump's 2020 prediction of a stock market crash if Joe Biden was elected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 37,000 for the first time, signaling a robust market performance. Contrary to Trump's warnings of an economic downturn, there are currently a number of positive indicators including low unemployment, increased wage and GDP growth, and lowering inflation. This disparity between Trump's predictions and the actual economic data highlights the importance of evaluating claims against tangible numbers. Despite the stock market not being a comprehensive measure of the economy, the challenge lies in reconciling Trump's failed forecasts with his sustained popularity among Republican voters, prompting questions about the divergence between political narratives and economic realities.

SHOCK POLL says Nikki Haley +17 over Joe Biden
An astonishing new poll suggests that Nikki Haley would defeat Joe Biden by 17 points in a hypothetical general election matchup. The poll, conducted by The Wall Street Journal, suggests a significant lead for Haley at 51 to 34, a margin not seen since 1984. However, this result doesn’t seem to pass the “sniff test” with considerations given to the current economic stability and the absence of evidence supporting Haley's potential victory over Donald Trump in the primary. The Wall Street Journal poll, representing only 85% of respondents, leaves 15% undecided or leaning towards third-party candidates, raising questions about the reliability of the presented margin. While there are polling challenges for Biden, a 17-point hap is implausible. However, it does underscore the importance of voter engagement in the upcoming election.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump lied EVERY 12 SECONDS during Fox town hall gone wrong
A recent analysis of Donald Trump's town hall on Fox News with Sean Hannity has revealed a five-minute segment in which Trump reportedly lied approximately every 12 seconds, according to Glenn Kessler's analysis for The Washington Post. The lies span a variety of topics, beginning with the characterization of COVID-19 as the "China virus," a claim debunked as few others globally use that term. Trump's misleading statements extend to energy policies, where he falsely took credit for initiatives that began under the Obama administration. Additionally, Trump claimed to have exposed and stopped a Russian pipeline, a statement contradicted by Kessler, who notes that Congress imposed temporary sanctions on the pipeline. Another lie involved Trump's assertion of being tough on Russia, contrary to his frequent alignment with Vladimir Putin. Furthermore, Trump exaggerated the U.S.'s liquid gold reserves, inaccurately claiming the country ranks first globally, whereas it actually stands tenth according to the EIA. The discussion highlights the frequency and range of falsehoods, prompting concerns about the potential impact of misinformation on the audience's perception and the challenges of addressing all of the lies.
