We Interviewed Trump Supporters, Got THREATENED!
TDPS Correspondent Luke Beasley went to Donald Trump’s low-energy South Carolina event last week to interview the former President’s supporters, and some of the exchanges got really out of hand. One guy claimed that “everything that happened on January 6th” is “going to be revealed,” alluding that the Capitol insurrection was somehow a left-wing conspiracy. Luke also asked a woman who the current President of the United States was, and she thought about it for a second before saying “time will tell” and then walking away. Finally, while Luke was interviewing another man, a different Trump supporter began hurling abuses at Luke, trying to intimidate him and alluding to threats of violence. For all the talk the right makes about their support for free speech, the threatening man clearly couldn’t handle even the slightest bit of criticism from someone he disagrees with politically.
Trump MASSIVELY TRIGGERED by Chinese Balloon
Failed former President Donald Trump has been massively triggered by Joe Biden’s shooting down of the Chinese surveillance balloon. Trump complained on Truth Social, “The Chinese Balloon situation is a disgrace, just like the Afghanistan horror show, and everything else surrounding the grossly incompetent Biden Administration. They are only good at cheating in elections, and disinformation — and now they are putting out that a Balloon was put up by China during the Trump Administration, in order to take the ‘heat’ off the slow moving Biden fools. China had too much respect for ‘TRUMP’ for this to have happened, and it NEVER did. JUST FAKE DISINFORMATION.” The fact that China used this spying technology during Trump’s administration goes to show they weren’t actually scared of him like he wants the public to believe. This is probably bothering the former president immensely now that this story is making his administration look feckless and incompetent.

Fox Host: Democrats SPEND SPEND SPEND, Republicans Slash & Save
There is an ongoing battle in Washington over the budget and the debt ceiling and it’s leading to right-wingers making some incredibly disingenuous takes about fiscal responsibility. For example, Fox News host Harris Faulkner is using the debates as an opportunity to make the case that Democrats are irresponsible with the nation’s checkbook but Republicans can be trusted with money. Faulkner said on a recent Fox program, “Democrats want to do what they do spend, spend, spend. Republicans want to slash and save.” It’s a common belief among Americans that Republicans are better than Democrats when it comes to budgetary issues, however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. It is Republicans who continually cut taxes whenever they have power, lowering the revenue we have as a country and making it harder to balance the budget. It’s also Republican presidents who have run up the deficit to pay for things like senseless wars. Democrats must get better at messaging about this issue so that people like Harris Faulkner are too embarrassed to make a point like this on national television.

GOP Ousts Ilhan Omar From Foreign Affairs Committee
Republicans have voted to remove Congresswoman Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee in what appears to be a decision rooted in racism and revenge. Omar spoke out before the vote and that this debacle was about who gets to be considered American and what opinions one is allowed to have. She said, “this debate today, it's about who gets to be an American. What opinions do we get to have — do we have to have to be counted as Americans? This is what this debate is about, Madam Speaker. There is this idea that you are a suspect if you are an immigrant or if you are from certain parts of the world or a certain skin tone or a Muslim.” Republicans are claiming that alleged anti-Semitism is why Omar should not serve on the committee, however, they are perfectly fine with people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar serving on committees when they have a track record of touting anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and white nationalist talking points. It’s obvious that Republicans did this to score cheap political points and this is why they should never have been able to win enough elections to take back the House majority.
