In the wake of the horrific attempt to shoot Donald Trump, Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen of Axios reported Monday that advisers close to the former president say he “plans to seize his moment by toning down his Trumpiness” and by “dialing up efforts to unite a tinder-box America.” Because Trump has suddenly stared death in the face, the report suggested, he has attained benevolence toward his political foes, which will manifest itself at this week’s GOP convention with a “unifying” display. As Tucker Carlson told Axios: “Getting shot changes a man.”Tell that to Trump himself. Only a few hours...

Trump’s Ugly New Post-Shooting Rant Instantly Wrecks His “Unity” Pivot

Donald Trump’s donors are reportedly fighting with each other over the prospect of Senator J.D. Vance becoming Trump’s running mate. The Daily Beast reports that Republican donors are sharply divided over Vance, with criticisms over his lack of political experience and business expertise. Some are also upset about one of Trump’s campaign managers, Susie Wiles, reportedly playing favorites with Vance.“The person who’s had some outside influence here is Susie Wiles,” one GOP strategist said, based on conversions with donors, adding that “she certainly wants Vance. Vance is like her little pet.”Donors are more inclined toward Senator Marco Rubio and North...

 Bill Maher warned an audience at his comedy show Saturday night that the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump “has done so much damage to the left,” as he said there’s nothing funny about the shooting. The comedian posted a clip of the show on his X account, showing him denouncing the shooting just a few hours after a 20-year-old would-be assassin opened fire on a Trump rally in rural Pennsylvania, nearly killing the former president, whose ear was grazed by a bullet. Maher said that the assassination attempt was “not funny.” “I‘m sure there will...

Donald Trump shocked nobody on Monday when he announced J.D. Vance as his running mate. All signs had been pointing toward the Ohio senator in recent weeks, and it’s hardly surprising that he would choose a sycophant and relative neophyte to share the stage with at this week’s Republican convention. Yet the decision does in fact represent a serious departure for Trump, one that ought to raise more concerns about his plans for a potential second term as president.Trump has a singular obsession in life, and that’s to win—at all costs, by any means. If he has to cheat, like...

The Scary Message Trump Sent by Choosing J.D. Vance

Butler County, PA

New York Post

The local Pennsylvania sheriff defended the armed officer who encountered former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop moments before the shooting — claiming it was the right call to retreat after the gunman pointed the weapon at him.

Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe confirmed Monday that a local officer made contact with Crooks after being hoisted up to the roof by another officer — but fled when the sniper pointed his AR-style assault rifle at the officer.

“All I know is the officer had both hands on the roof to get up on the roof, never made it because the shooter had turned towards the officer, and rightfully and smartly, the officer let go,” Slupe told KDKA.

The gunman immediately fired up to eight rounds at Trump, wounding him and killing a hero firefighter in the stands. Two others were also wounded.

Trump Loses It At Fox News, Says No One Can Trust It

Doral, FL

Donald Trump gave a particularly incoherent speech during a recent rally, as he rattled through a lengthy list of odd grievances that didn’t quite ring true, devoid of some very necessary segues. In front of a crowd of about 700 people (although Trump claimed it was 45,000) in Doral, Florida, on Tuesday, the former president hit all of the normal beats of his campaign trail speeches, and then some. Trump attacked President Joe Biden for his weak performance in the presidential debate last month, and for many of his policies. He dropped Kamala Harris’s name more than a few times,...

ABC News anchor George Stephanopolous was caught on film expressing doubt that President Joe Biden will be able to handle another term in the White House, only a few days after he did an exclusive interview with the embattled commander in chief. In a low-quality video published by TMZ Tuesday, a pedestrian approached Stephanopoulos on the street in New York City. “Do you think Biden should step down? You’ve talked to him more than anybody else has lately,” the man asked. “I don’t think he can serve four more years,” Stephanopolous replied, in a candid moment.It’s a troubling response from...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - It's going to be a busy political day in western Pennsylvania with both former President Donald Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden in town this afternoon. The former president will be campaigning in Butler County today - holding a rally at the Butler Farm Show grounds. That will be at 5 p.m. on Evans City Road in Butler. Then, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden will be in Pittsburgh with the White House announcing on Wednesday she will speak at an Italian Sons and Daughters dinner. That will also be at 5 p.m. She's expected to arrive at Pittsburgh International Airport an hour before the event. This marks the First Lady's third visit to Pittsburgh this summer. Of course, it's a busy time for politics in the Commonwealth because as usual, Pennsylvania is a battleground state in the upcoming presidential election. Meanwhile, away from Pittsburgh, Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Philadelphia, as well. KDKA will have coverage of both visits today, with our news crews heading to the First Lady's event as well as the former president's rally. Full coverage can be expected tonight on KDKA-TV News at 6:00.

Days after getting shot at a political rally, Donald Trump claimed he wanted a “unity” convention. But his pick for vice president—Ohio Senator J.D. Vance—immediately used the moment to deride liberals and President Joe Biden.Despite having privately described the former president as “America’s Hitler,” Vance has become a “genuine convert” to the MAGA cause, according to Trump. And on Monday, Trump positioned the Ohio lawmaker as an heir apparent for his brand of far-right politics.In the immediate aftermath of the Pennsylvania shooting that clipped Trump’s ear and killed two people, Vance took to X (formerly Twitter) to accuse Democrats—as opposed...

As dawn breaks on Lara Trump’s Republican National Convention, not every GOP lawmaker is feeling entirely confident in Donald Trump’s ability not to alienate voters. Before the assassination attempt against Trump Saturday, Raw Story asked several Republican lawmakers what they were hoping to get from the convention this week. In many ways, their milquetoast answers stood in sharp contrast to the chaotic candidate they’ve come to back. “Stability. Simple message. Lack of drama,” Representative Don Bacon told Raw Story.“You know, people want stability. They’re tired of chaos and the loud noises on both sides. So if our side and President...

Former President Donald Trump picked Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate Monday after bringing his veepstakes down to the wire ahead at the RNC in Milwaukee. He’d built tension around the upcoming pick for his running mate through the day with the field being whittled down one by one in the hours before announcing on Truth Social he’d chosen the 39-year-old Vance.“I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D.

Trump Picks J.D. Vance as VP Candidate After Reality TV-Style Drama

A megachurch pastor, whom Donald Trump once lauded as a “spiritual adviser,” has admitted to “inappropriate sexual behavior with a young lady,” following new allegations that he’d sexually abused a 12 year-old. Cindy Clemishire shared her account of sexual abuse by Robert Morris, who currently leads Gateway Church in Dallas, on Friday in the Wartburg Watch, a religious watchdog site. In the 1980s, Morris would occasionally stay with Clemishire’s family when he was a traveling evangelist. In 1982, Morris invited Clemishire to his room, where he allegedly sexually molested her, warning her never to tell anyone. According to Clemishire, the...

Usha Vance will likely see her profile rise dramatically now that former President Trump has chosen her husband, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), as his 2024 running mate. Why it matters: Usha Vance — a highly accomplished attorney and daughter of Indian immigrants — and her husband bring youth and diversity to the Trump ticket.

On Saturday, at a political rally in western Pennsylvania, three people were shot. One was a hero, a firefighter who died as he leaped to protect his children from the gunfire. One was the shooter. And the third, whose ear was grazed, was the biggest proponent of violent, extremist rhetoric in recent American history. Little is known about the young man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, though a great deal has been made of information that tells us absolutely nothing about his motive: He was a registered Republican, and he made a $15 donation to...
