-- So how do you win elections? maybe with speeches like this: So I'm asking you to be excited about the future of our country again. And this will be America's new Golden Age. We're going to turn it around so fast your head will spin. Going to stop all of this craziness. [cheers and applause] Every problem facing us can be solved. And I'd like to begin by asking a question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago? CROWD: NO! I don't think so. I don't think so. So I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans. With your vote this election I will end inflation. I will stop the invasion of criminals into our country. [cheers and applause] And I will bring back, as your president, the American dream. We're going to bring it back. Our country is being crippled and destroyed by Kamala Harris—[booing] but it does not have to be this way. It won't be this way for long, hopefully what we've put up with, with the two of them. What we put up with the two of them with your support on November 5th, America will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than ever before. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/remarks-campaign-rally-greensboro-north-carolina-0

I have enough record on here that that isn't the case -- but you're so easy as well as the others I was maybe expecting.

Melania looks swell in black -- maybe she is rehearsing.

From the Wikipedia link above: Donald Trump also commented on the settlement in a 2014 opinion article for the New York Daily News. He said the settlement was "a disgrace", and that the men were likely guilty: "Settling doesn't mean innocence. ... Speak to the detectives on the case and try listening to the facts. These young men do not exactly have the pasts of angels." During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump again said that the Exonerated Five were guilty and that their convictions should not have been vacated. In June 2019 Trump stated he would not apologize, saying the Exonerated Five "admitted their guilt".

To note, I just completed an online TM47 -- my only concern was that the prior SIM number is non-working so I had to get a new SIM/number. No problem although I was hoping not see the 'rejection' notice.

REDUX jerrymahoney Posted April 4 Donald Trump said in his 1990 Playboy interview: "The Japanese cajole us, they bow to us, they tell us how great we are and then they pick our pockets. We're losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year while they laugh at our stupidity." That's how he saw the world 35 years ago. Little has changed.

Headline today NY Times: Trump Claims He’s Negotiating With China on Trade. China Says Otherwise. President Trump said that “we’re meeting with China” on tariffs, comments aimed at soothing jittery financial markets. But Chinese officials say no talks have taken place.

Not to mention child care : Trump suggests tariffs can help solve rising child care costs in a major economic speech September 6, 2024 NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump suggested to business leaders Thursday that his plans to increase tariffs on foreign imports would solve seemingly unrelated challenges such as the rising cost of child care in the U.S. <SKIP> “Child care is child care, it’s something you have to have in this country. You have to have it,” he said. Then, he said his plans to tax imports from foreign nations at higher levels would “take care” of such problems. “We’re going to be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it’s — relatively speaking — not very expensive, compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in,” he said. https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-harris-corporate-taxes-15ba5ecfdf5e907bd9b2c349b07222b8

As Ms. Leavitt said earlier this month during a tariff dustup: "Boys will be boys, and we will let their public sparring continue ..." Such things happen now amongst a group of warriors in a warrior culture.
