Trump tries a rally between arrests, goes TERRIBLY WRONG
During his recent appearance in South Dakota, former President Donald Trump delivered a speech notable for its lack of coherence and meandering focus, addressing a range of topics including his ongoing legal challenges, Kim Jong-un, the development of electric tanks, and the contentious issue of Roe v. Wade. Trump's address often left the audience perplexed, and there were moments when it appeared he might not be fully engaged, possibly due to concerns about the multiple criminal trials he's currently entangled in. Notably, Trump took credit for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, voicing support for certain exceptions in abortion cases, while also inaccurately accusing Democrats of advocating for post-birth abortions. Despite his legal troubles, Trump continues to maintain an active presence in galvanizing his supporters, raising questions about the influence of his rhetoric and its potential impact on both his dedicated followers and the broader political landscape. This speech underscores the enduring strength of Trump's cult of personality and his ability to maintain a significant lead over other Republican contenders.
We interviewed Trump supporters, they demanded Biden BE KILLED!
TDPS correspondent Luke Beasley covered Donald Trump’s rally over the weekend in South Dakota and his interviews with Trump supporters revealed a disturbing undercurrent within Trump's 2023 base. Beasley conducted interviews that initially touched on Democratic policies but quickly escalated when one supporter openly called for President Joe Biden's execution, exposing the divisive and hostile nature of the American right wing. Beasley engaged in a discussion about voter fraud, highlighting that Trump-appointed judges had not found widespread fraud. Another Trump supporter introduced a conspiracy theory suggesting that COVID-19 was created in 2014 and was warned about it by Alex Jones in the 1990s. Another attendee wore a “Never Surrender” shirt featuring Trump’s mugshot. Luke pointed out to the man how this didn’t make any sense because Trump surrendered to authorities rather than having a warrant issued for his arrest. Beasley's on-the-ground reporting vividly portrayed the chaotic atmosphere and confused people that are present at every Trump rally.
From over the weekend:
LOL: Trump's legal arguments so insane, prosecutor wants to fine him
Prosecutor Letitia James from New York is seeking fines of $10,000 each for Donald Trump, his sons, and their lawyers in a $250 million business fraud lawsuit. Trump's legal team has been making what experts deem as weak and non-legal arguments, including claims of a politically motivated witch hunt and disputing James' legal standing to sue. The main issue in the case involves Trump's inconsistent valuation of assets for tax purposes and collateralizing loans. The Trump Organization’s defense is that they included a disclaimer that banks should conduct their due diligence to assess property values. Legal experts anticipated that such arguments would face scrutiny in court, and now the move to fine Trump and his lawyers suggests this trend will continue. This development is reassuring for those observing Trump's upcoming criminal trials, as unsupported legal arguments may not only be dismissed but could potentially lead to sanctions. The fraud lawsuit against Trump's business is set to begin in less than a month, marking a significant development separate from the four criminal trials looming ahead.
From over the weekend:
Trump nomination could DESTROY Republicans in 2024
There are growing concerns within the Republican Party about the potential consequences of a Trump nomination for down-ballot races. While Trump still maintains a fervent base of support, a significant portion of the party's base views him unfavorably and considers him detrimental to the GOP's image. This polarization could intensify if Trump becomes the nominee, leading to internal conflicts and a lack of unified support. With polling data indicating that Trump commands about 55% of Republican support, the remaining 45% could become disaffected and potentially choose to stay home on Election Day, impacting critical Senate and House races with narrow margins and potentially giving Democrats control of the House and expanding their Senate majority. Furthermore, this situation might further radicalize the Republican Party, particularly in swing states with tight races. Past election cycles in 2018, 2020, and 2022 serve as cautionary examples of the potential damage Trump's candidacy could inflict on the party, and now the former president carries even more baggage being a defendant in four criminal trials.
