Trump says he “doesn’t give a damn” about gas prices being high because the US is “making a fortune” from tariffs (which he still doesn’t understand or won’t admit are paid by American companies. The election should go swimmingly for Republicans!

The more I read about JD Vance’s rise to power on the wings of Peter Thiel’s money, the more important it is that he never gets close to the 2028 nomination. He’s nuts, and dangerous.

A number of theories are emerging about Trump’s growing obsession with Senator Jon Husted’s “ass” and “body.” 1. Gay disinhibition brought out by dementia 2. Authoritarian power move where he talks about people like objects 3. Trump sees politics like a beauty pageant 4. ???

A protester yelled “RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES” at JD Vance yesterday before being thrown out, and Vance suggested the guy was an illegal immigrant, knowing nothing about the guy other than he had slightly brown skin. Really remarkable stuff.

A terrified Mike Johnson said on Fox in the last few hours that if Republicans lose the midterms, Trump’s presidency is over. He said it like it would be a bad thing 😂😂

Trump’s new Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired after 5 days. It was obvious from the first minute of her one and only press briefing that she would be fired.

A report from Axios explains that, in a final act of desperation over the forthcoming brutal losses Republicans are going to take, they are openly discussing “what about martial law?” Absolute lunatics.

So Trump’s “attorney” Press Secretary never passed the bar, and is not really an attorney. She did, however, do a bunch of Beachbody MLM nonsense, so she has that going for her.

It’s hilarious when people defend crazy things they’ve said with “it’s my right to say it.” Dude, no one is questioning that it’s your right, the problem is what you said is nuts.

Republicans had some absolutely disastrous debates last night. They have no accomplishments to run on, can't run on "being like Trump," and no ideas that anyone wants, so they don’t really have much they can do in these failed debate attempts. November 3 will be ugly.

It is stunning how one-sidedly bad last night’s debates were for the Republican candidates. They truly have selected some of the worst possible people to represent their party.

New report says that Trump’s tariffs are entirely responsible for stuff being more expensive. If only there were some upcoming opportunity to hold his party accountable for this.

Judging by Trump’s deranged Truth Social posts about James “Talafreako” and “Mohammed” El-Sayed, the reality of a brutal election destruction appears to be setting in for him.

Two of the worst candidates I have ever seen are Mike Rogers in Michigan and Ken Paxton in Texas. One already lost previously. The other got impeached by his own party, and Republicans looked at both of them and said 'yep, that's our guy.’

What would Fox News look like this morning if a Democrat had welcomed the killing of the residents of Houston and Salt Lake City at a rally last night? Hmm…

The problem with Trump’s NEW $5000 promise is that he’s already failed to deliver on the LAST $5000 promise, and the $2000 one as well. People just aren’t falling for it.

It’s absolutely nuts that Trump offering people $5,000 to vote for Republicans isn’t changing their minds. They either (rightly) hate this regime that much, or simply don’t believe there’s $5,000 waiting for them at the end of the rainbow. Remarkable stuff.

My new book became an instant New York Times bestseller yesterday. THANK YOU to everyone who helped with this project, including everyone who bought the book. We did it!
