The New Republic

At Donald Trump’s Thursday’s press conference at Mar-a-Lago, the former president compared himself favorably to Martin Luther King Jr. After incorrectly claiming that “no one was killed on January 6th,” Trump went on to gloat that the crowd at his insurrection rally was larger than the March On Washington, which Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic speech at the Lincoln Memorial. “Nobody’s spoken to crowds bigger than me,” said the former president. “If you look at Martin Luther King when he did his speech and you look at ours...we had more.” Trump on his January 6 speech: "Nobody has spoken to...

Donald Trump’s Obsession With Crowd Size Reaches a New Low

The Republican Party has long interwoven Christian themes in its political messaging, but this week’s GOP convention took it to a new level. Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum resembled a megachurch full of revivalists more than an arena of politicos. Donald Trump, of course, was the divinely chosen figure, who just last weekend experienced a miracle when a shooter’s bullet grazed his ear. On Thursday night, the Republican Party’s savior gave a stem-winding sermon to his congregation, many with napkins taped to their ears in devotion, who responded with blessings and prayers. Praise be!Photographer Ron Haviv captured it all for The New Republic. A slew of religious speakers referenced Trump’s “miraculous” survival, suggesting that it was all part of God’s plan, he said. “This makes a case of Trump as a deity; the party is made in his image,” he said. And after the divine intervention of last weekend, Trump’s devotees believe his second coming is assured. “They might have been hopeful before, but now they absolutely believe they are going to win.”THE BEATITUDESTHE CREEDTHE EAR THE DISCIPLESTHE CONGREGATION

Opinion: Is it finally game over for Donald Trump?

There is a Republican cult of William McKinley, and Donald Trump has joined it. In a new interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, the forty-fifth president can’t stop talking about the twenty-fifth president. Trump “keeps circling back to William McKinley,” write Nancy Cook, Joshua Green, and Mario Parker, “who he says raised enough revenue through tariffs during his turn-of-the-20th-century presidency to avoid instituting a federal income tax yet never got the appropriate credit.” For the past quarter-century, though, Republicans have been giving McKinley too much credit.Before the turn of the current century McKinley was routinely derided as a weak president who let...

Donald Trump’s Got a Bad New Presidential Inspiration

Donald Trump’s presser Thursday was a scattered assortment of unrelated topics. Despite his campaign’s attempts to rein Trump in and focus his attention on attacking Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies via a narrowly tailored mini-rally, Trump went on an hour-long, mostly unscripted tirade. It was, ultimately, a who’s who of his favorite talking points, including Harris’s alleged “stupidity,” the war in Afghanistan, Covid-19, and migrant crime, with barely any mention made of inflation—or the groceries symbolically propped up inches away from him—for which the entire event was organized.The new Trump format also attracted an odd variety of attendees. While press...

Watch: Trump’s Terrifying Warning Prompts Cheers From His Fans

President Biden was fed a series of gentle softballs over the weekend by Robert Costa of CBS News. He mumbled through his responses in what felt like an exit interview. After his debate debacle at the end of June, Biden publicly and privately stated that he was staying in the presidential race. It would take the “Lord Almighty” telling him to step aside for him to go, he told George Stephanopoulos. He held a press conference on July 11 that seemed to assuage concerns by some in his party. And then, 10 days later, he dropped out, in a letter posted to his social media accounts.

A possible October surprise? Biden resigns and Harris becomes president

Usha Vance tried to walk back her husband’s comments about “childless cat ladies,” but couldn’t quite explain away his misogynistic rhetoric. In a taped interview that aired on Fox & Friends Monday, Vance spun her own toned-down interpretation of J.D. Vance calling Democrats “a bunch of childless cat ladies” who “want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” She said that, unlike everyone else, she’d actually paid attention to the “context” of his quote. “The reality is, he made a quip in service of making a point that he wanted to make that was substantive, and it had...

J.D. Vance’s Wife Miserably Fails at Defending “Childless Cat Ladies”

New Jersey State

Bedminster Township, NJ

Cereal, coffee, milk, and breakfast sausages sat displayed on a table in the 87-degree heat of Bedminster, New Jersey, mere feet away from Donald Trump as he held a press conference at his golf club Thursday, his second in as many weeks. More than a prop, the food might have served as a signal to the meandering Republican nominee to stay on the topic du jour: inflation. Instead, the groceries served as a cringeworthy visual cue for those watching, and became increasingly absurd as Trump continually refused to acknowledge them. Try as he might, Trump just couldn’t stay on topic, and...

Trump Immediately Derails Press Conference With Weirdest Comments

The Independent

 Former President Donald Trump’s speaking style may reveal signs of cognitive decline, according to psychological experts.An analysis by STAT - a media organization focusing on health -  found that Trump’s common pattern of speech called tangentiality – jumping from topic to topic with few if any connections in between – is just one of a number of incoherent speaking habits that appears to have worsened in the last few years. In 2017, Trump’s first year as president, STAT found Trump’s speaking style had worsened since the 1980s. In a repetition of that analysis, experts found that since 2017,...

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are two of the biggest celebrities in modern times. While much of the happenings between the two involved their marriage and divorce, there are bigger things for them to focus on. Most notably their children.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Son Diagnosed With Rare Skin Condition

Donald Trump’s lengthy interview with Elon Musk earlier this week may have violated federal campaign regulations, at least according to one Democratic-aligned political action committee that has already filed an FEC complaint over the issue.The complaint, filed Tuesday by End Citizens United, argued that the unfettered “conversation” on X, Musk’s $12.5 billion company, amounted to a “virtual campaign event” financed by the social media platform. Per the FEC’s website, a contribution is “anything of value given, loaned or advanced to influence a federal election.”End Citizens United also claimed that the event did not fall under press exemptions set forth by...

Trump’s Trainwreck Elon Musk Interview May Have Broken the Law

Donald Trump bizarrely said that his Democratic presidential rival Kamala Harris looks like his wife Melania Trump in his rambling interview with Elon Musk on Monday night. The former president joined the tech billionaire on X Spaces for what was billed as a game changing “conversation,” but actually ended up being a more than two-hour-long very friendly interview that was instantly beset with tech problems – not to mention questions about Trump’s apparent lisp.

Recently, a retired woman seeking advice wrote in to MarketWatch’s financial adviser, saying: “I was ‘financially set’ after my husband died. But my current adviser lost $500,000 over the last few years, and then a new adviser said my portfolio was ‘a mess’ and wants 1.25 percent to fix it. What’s my move?”She was the victim of an unethical financial adviser hustling and decades of churning commission-based products that essentially transferred her money into his pocket. As she told MarketWatch, “The adviser was paid per trade.”President Biden wants to do something about this. “This is about basic fairness,” Biden said...

Earlier this year, southern Arizona was staring down a crisis—“homelessness on steroids,” as Pima County’s top official described it. Federal funding for the state’s migrant shelters was about to run dry as near-record numbers of migrants were entering the state from Mexico. Diego Piña Lopez, then the executive director of one of the state’s largest shelter operators, was among the leading voices warning in local and national media about the dire local consequences of the budget fight in Washington.“I think that’s going to lead to a lot of chaos, and a lot more cost across the board for folks to...

A Shady Laundry Deal Scandalizes a Major Migrant Shelter in Arizona

Wednesday’s inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics makes it virtually certain that in mid-September the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Markets Committee will lower interest rates at its final meeting before Election Day. This news will unavoidably make Donald Trump very unhappy. “Quit whining,” Nikki Haley advised Trump this week on CNN, and, yes, Trump has an enlarged capacity for self-pity. But put yourself in the man’s bone-spur-widened shoes. It’s not yet five weeks since some whack job tried to kill you, enabling you to wave the bloody shirt (“Many people say it was a providential moment; probably was”)...
