Trump MELTS DOWN over debate collapse, audience SILENT
Donald Trump spoke at two Jewish group events, where he made troubling statements. In one event, he threatened to blame Jews if he loses the election, criticizing their lack of support. At the second event with the Israeli-American Council, Trump had a meltdown, struggling with a teleprompter and appearing confused. His performance, particularly his fixation on a previous debate with Kamala Harris, did not engage the audience. Trump repeatedly claimed he won the debate by a large margin, even though it was widely regarded as a disastrous performance. He blamed the moderators for being biased and compared it to an unfair three-on-one basketball game. Of course, simple fact-checking Trump’s lies is wrongly seen by him and his supporters as partisan. The events demonstrated Trump's continuous fixation on past events and his struggle to present coherent arguments.
OH NO: Trump endorses "BLACK NAZI" who peeps in locker rooms
Mark Robinson, the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate for North Carolina governor, has come under fire for making disturbing comments, including calling himself a "black Nazi," expressing support for slavery, and admitting to peeping on women in locker room showers. Additionally, he has reportedly shown a preference for transgender pornography, which contradicts his public anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. Despite denying the allegations and claiming the offensive posts were fabricated by his political opponent Josh Stein, a campaign staffer confirmed that the email and username associated with the posts belonged to Robinson. The controversy has sparked concern among Donald Trump’s advisers, who fear that Robinson's scandal could hurt Trump's chances in North Carolina, a critical state for his re-election. Nonetheless, Trump has continued to publicly praise Robinson, even comparing him to Martin Luther King Jr., a comparison many find entirely unfounded given Robinson's controversial behavior and anti-LGBTQ+ stance.

New poll proves SHOCKING REALITY about Trump supporters
A new YouGov poll highlights the extent to which Donald Trump's supporters embrace conspiracy theories. One example is the claim that Haitian migrants are abducting and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, which 52% of Trump supporters believe, despite the originator of the rumor retracting it. Other alarming beliefs include 43% of Trump supporters thinking that in some states, it is legal to kill a baby after birth, and 28% believing public schools are providing students with sex change operations, despite these claims having no basis in reality. Additionally, 81% of Trump's base believe Venezuela is sending prisoners and people from mental institutions to the U.S., while 77% believe the U.S. has provided more aid to Ukraine than all of Europe combined. False beliefs about millions of undocumented immigrants entering the U.S. each month and record-high inflation are also widespread. Furthermore, many Trump supporters deny that Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, possessed classified documents, or had his offices wiretapped. Trump has fostered a culture of gullibility, spurring a mental health crisis as his supporters struggle to distinguish reality from fiction.
From yesterday’s show:
OH NO: Harris 25 points UNDERWATER with independents
Recent polling has revealed both positive and concerning trends for Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. After a strong couple of months marked by record-breaking fundraising, favorable polls, and a debate victory over Donald Trump, a new Gallup poll shows Harris trailing significantly among independent voters, with a 25-point unfavorable rating. However, Harris is closing the gap in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, particularly on issues such as the economy, immigration, and preserving democracy. Although Harris's campaign has gained momentum, there is concern over the lack of a second presidential debate, which would likely benefit her. As the vice-presidential debate approaches, there is hope that running mate Tim Walz can maintain the campaign’s focus on issues and continue to build support. Ultimately, while there is still much work to be done, the Harris campaign is on the right track and remains optimistic.
