Trump update

Newsweek - Donald Trump's call for Republican states to send National Guard troops to Texas to help Governor Greg Abbott control the southern border, along with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt's suggestion that three southern states are prepared to deploy their National Guards, has sparked a wave of concern on social media. On Thursday, Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, termed the influx of migrants an "invasion," adding: "We encourage all willing States to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of Illegals, and to remove them back across the Border."

Ralph Nader- One way to expose Trump is to personalize criticisms of him the way he mostly inaccurately personalizes others, with accusations and nicknames. It’s giving a bully—who still gets his libels replayed verbatim on the mass media—a taste of his own medicine. Der Fuhrer Trump cannot stand being pejoratively nicknamed.David Kamp’s writing in an opinion piece for the New York Times recounts that while writing for Spy magazine, the staff produced a Trump epithet that stuck, “short-fingered vulgarian.” Trump being thin-skinned, long before entering politics, “sent angry threatening letters to Spy, which only heightened our joy,” he added. A slew of accurate nicknames will enlarge Trump’s juvenile immolation because he can’t resist spending time to huff, puff and assail his perceived political tormentors.

Enough Republicans will see his serious instability and narcissism—that the campaign is all about him, not them— to not vote for Trump or stay home on election day. A ten percent loss of his voters would ensure his losing big, apart from other anti-Trump GOTV strategies highlighting what he did in the White House to the American people, regardless of their political labels.
