Donald Trump Jr UNLEASHES hate mob against me, Candace Owens OBSESSED
Right-wing personalities, such as Donald Trump Jr., Candace Owens, and Jenna Ellis, have all joined in on the online attack against David, accusing him of blaming the victims of the recent mass shooting in Tennessee. The tweet in question mocked the idea that thoughts and prayers can do anything to prevent mass shootings since this one took place at a Christian school. This has been misinterpreted by many on the right to mean that David thought the kids were at fault for what happened. The situation has reached a fever pitch, with some advertisers pulling out of the show, and David receiving thousands of anti-Semitic messages. The tweet has been deliberately misinterpreted and blown out of proportion by the right-wing mob. Despite the outpouring of support that has come from the audience, there is a concern that the backlash could result in an existential threat to The David Pakman Show.
Trump's latest interview with Hannity is scaring people
Donald Trump’s recent interview with Sean Hannity continues to scare people, including folks on the right. The exchange has also raised concerns about Trump’s cognitive state. One such instance is when Trump claimed to have gotten rid of "NATO" and built USMCA, when in fact, he had replaced NAFTA with the USMCA. This seemed like a Freudian slip by Trump, showing the former president's continued hostility toward NATO. Trump also made the claim that if he gets elected president again, he’ll be able to end the Russian war in Ukraine even before taking office. Of course, Trump didn’t say exactly how he would accomplish this, and whenever he’s pushed on these baseless claims, he says he has to keep his plan a secret in order to make it work. Hannity provided essentially no pushback during the interview, allowing Trump to lie and present his claims unchallenged.
From yesterday’s show:
WOW: Republicans SLAM Trump over disastrous Hannity interview
Some Republicans, including former Congressman Jason Chaffetz and Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, criticized former President Donald Trump's recent interview with Sean Hannity for being petty and unpresidential. Chaffetz said about the appearance, “I thought he was horrific. That was the worst interview I've seen the president do. He was whining. He was complaining.” Kilmeade criticized Trump for “punching down” when speaking about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and urged him not to do so. Despite the criticism, Trump continues to poll strongly against DeSantis and perhaps it’s connected with Trump scaling up his attacks against him. Some Republicans believe that the recent decline in DeSantis' polling might prompt him to reconsider running for president, which would be Trump’s dream as it would clear the path for him to easily win the Republican presidential nomination next year.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump releases bizarre video about not loving children
Donald Trump released a statement claiming he helped farmers avoid the estate tax, and in the statement, he mentioned that if someone doesn't love their kids, they don't have to leave them their farm. This statement sparked controversy as many people speculated whether Trump was signaling that he doesn't love his own children and won't leave them his inheritance. Trump said, “I got rid of the death tax on farms so that when you do pass away on the assumption that you love your children, you can leave it to them and they won't have to pay tax. But if you don't love your children so much, and there are some people that don't, and maybe deservedly so, it won't matter because frankly, you don't have to leave them anything. Thank you very much. Have fun.” The bizarre undertone of Trump's statement led some to wonder if it was scripted or if there was a deeper meaning behind it. The fact that Trump made a similar statement during a recent Iowa rally only adds to the confusion and raises questions about the relationship he has with his own family members.
