Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

The clip in the link is about Trump saying that he didn't go to the cemetery to get publicity, he doesn't need it. Utter rubbish about Trump needing the publicity. I also don't believe he goes there a lot. Didn't he say those who died/injured/captured were losers.

Didn't he say those who died/injured/captured were losers. Maybe he is trying to reform his image.
 
Well, this should cheer him up. :thumbs:

Controversial Trump biopic to receive pre-election release in US

The Apprentice, an 80s-set drama with a scene in which he sexually assaults his wife, will get an October release
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

The film also made headlines for a scene where Trump rapes his wife at the time, Ivana, played by Maria Bakalova.

A cease-and-desist letter was sent to the film-makers by Trump’s legal team with a statement describing it as “malicious defamation”. In 1990, during divorce proceedings, Ivana had accused him of sexual assault, something she later recanted. Since the 1970s, at least 26 women have accused Trump of sexual assault or harassment. He has denied all allegations.

Gives more details on the monument tiff. I did see somewhere that the woman who was assaulted by the trump staffer didn't want to take any action because she was concerned about getting threats from trumpies.

New details suggest Trump’s Arlington controversy won’t end soon

As Trump characterized himself as a victim the in Arlington controversy, his campaign team called the office of the Army Secretary a bunch of “hacks.”
www.msnbc.com www.msnbc.com

For his part, the Republican nominee delivered public remarks on the matter for the first time hours later, misstated the date of his visit to Arlington, bragged about being on time for the event at the cemetery, characterized himself as a victim of smear, and concluded that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris “killed” American service members in Afghanistan. If that sounds ridiculous and offensive, it’s because it was ridiculous and offensive.

Around the same time, Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita, on the heels of publicly criticizing the official who works at the cemetery, issued a statement online that called the office of the Army Secretary a bunch of “hacks.”

Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, there’s a burgeoning conversation about uncovering answers that have not yet reached the public. Politico reported:

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat who sits on the Senate Armed Services panel, added Thursday that he wants to see the Army’s report on the confrontation. “As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I am troubled by the reporting and want to see the incident report,” Kaine said in a statement.

Obvious I suppose but somewhat reassuring that support for civil war is low:

www.psypost.org

Belief that U.S. 'needs' a civil war is uncommon -- but stronger among MAGA Republicans

While only a small percentage of Americans believe a new civil war is necessary, this view is more prevalent among MAGA Republicans, individuals with racist beliefs, and supporters of extreme right-wing groups.
www.psypost.org

A recent study published in Injury Epidemiology uncovers a troubling sentiment: a small yet notable segment of the U.S. population believes that a new civil war is necessary to “set things right.” This belief was more commonly found among certain groups, including “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) Republicans, individuals who hold racist views, and supporters of extreme right-wing political organizations and movements. Despite this, the overall support for civil war remains low, even within these groups.

Previous surveys had already indicated that a significant portion of Americans believed a civil war was likely in the near future. For instance, a 2021 poll found that nearly half of likely voters thought another civil war was possible. Building on these findings, the researchers — led by Garen J. Wintemute, the Baker–Teret Chair in Violence Prevention and Distinguished Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of California, Davis — sought to explore not just the likelihood of civil war in the minds of the public, but also whether people believed such a conflict was necessary to address the country’s problems.

Trump Calls Journalists “Enemy Of The People” During Pennsylvania Rally Minutes Before Man Storms Into Media Section

The suspect, who was quickly tasered by law enforcement, will face misdemeanor charges, according to police.
www.vanityfair.com www.vanityfair.com
A man attending a campaign rally for Donald Trump on Friday stormed the media section, attempting to climb up the side of the enclosed area, before being tasered by law enforcement on the scene, according to a video posted to social media by a reporter for CBS News.

Less than ten minutes before, the former president called journalists the “enemy of the people.”

Trump claimed that the New York Times is losing “reader after reader,” which brings him joy. “I have to be happy about that,” the Republican presidential nominee began, "because they truly are the enemy of the people. They are the enemy of the people. They tell false stories about me—that’s all they do is they write false stories.”

The former president appears to begin watching the interaction and says, “beautiful,” before repeatedly noting, “he’s on our side.” It’s unclear exactly how much of the situation Trump saw and if he was referring to the individual man’s actions or the response from law enforcement. Though, at the beginning of the situation, he smiled and said, “We get a little itchy, David, don’t we?” (Dave McCormick, who is running for US Senate in Pennsylvania, spoke at the rally.)

I'd read that Trump had said 'he's on our side' about the journo but not that he'd been having a proper go at the media before it happened. Article says he went on to talk about the assassination attempt, when some at the rally moved towards the press there, blaming the shooting on them. Article ends:

... From the time he announced his candidacy in 2015 to early 2021, Trump posted negative comments about the media more than 2,490 times on Twitter, according to a US Press Freedom Tracker database. Only counting online posts, Trump has called individual networks, the press, or “fake news” the “enemy of the people” tens of times.

And Friday, as the man who climbed onto the media section was taken away by law enforcement, Trump told the crowd, “Is there anywhere that’s more fun to be than a Trump rally?”

whipping up a nice bit of hatred against the press in case the numbers go against him.
 
An interesting read from the FT, asking the question -

Why does calling Trump ‘weird’ hurt him so much?​

Trump, clearly, is rattled. He’s used to being the bully who comes up with the mean jokes rather than being the butt of them. And while I confess to having found some of the nicknames he’s used on previous opponents very amusing (“low energy Jeb Bush” is a personal favourite), “Laffin’ Kamala” just doesn’t have much ring, or sting, to it. It is particularly ineffective given that her laugh is a selling point, while Trump never seems to laugh at all, which, if we are being honest, is a little . . . weird.

Then the author asks 'So why is he so bothered by it, and why is it so effective?', and comes up with three reasons, before concluding..

It comes down to this: the Democrats are currently beating Trump at his own game. The intellectualising, the moralising, the hysteria over Trump’s threat to world stability — all of that was too dull and depressing and too obviously partisan to be persuasive. Cackling at him and his “cat lady”-obsessed running mate, though — now that’s something that everyone can get on board with.

Lying piece of shit indeed, the twat stood in front of gravestones and did a thumbs-up, he knew exactly what he was doing - a publicity photo & video, but with no thought of the offence he would cause.

538 still has him ahead on electoral college.

And the 538 tracker also shows the gap Harris had over Trump has narrowed over the last week for 3.7% to 3.2%. Latest polls have Trump marginally ahead in almost all the swing states.
 
"How is the Republican Party not being held accountable for Mark Robinson, the party’s nominee for governor of North Carolina?

While there are plenty of MAGA partisans in the modern GOP, Robinson stands apart from the rest. As we reported in Rolling Stone five months ago, Robinson’s conspiratorial, racist, homophobic, antisemitic and frankly batsh!t statements aren’t merely extreme; they are uniquely shocking, offensive, vulgar, and prejudiced — even by MAGA standards — and should be beyond the pale of political discourse ..."

"When Donald Trump endorsed Mark Robinson as the Republican candidate for governor of North Carolina in March, he made a generous comparison.

“I think you’re better than Martin Luther King,” Trump told a rapturous crowd in Greensboro, Mr Robinson’s hometown. He also described the candidate as “Martin Luther King on steroids”.

Five months later, in the heat of the presidential campaign, those comments may be coming back to haunt the former president ..."

Why Isn’t Anyone Asking Trump About Mark Robinson?

Donald Trump’s praise for ‘Martin Luther King on steroids’ may backfire on him
