Donald Trump

Republican Voters Against Trump - The Fraternal Order of Police endorses a convicted felon to be president of the United States.
 
Really American  -  Trump: "I took care of our economy like I would take care of my own company.” Trump went bankrupt six times, his university and foundation were closed for fraud. He lost almost 3 million jobs as President, added $8 trillion to the debt.

Daily Kos -On Thursday, at a supposed economic address in Manhattan, Trump was asked, “If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?” 

And here is Trump’s entire, unedited answer: 

Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down. You know, I was somebody—we had Sen. Marco Rubio—and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about—that, because look, child care is child care, couldn't—you know, it’s something—you have to have it in this country. You have to have it. But when you talk about those numbers, compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to. But they'll get used to it very quickly. And it's not going to stop them from doing business with us. But they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care. We're going to have—I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country. Because I have to say, with child care, I want to stay with child care. But those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just—that I just told you about. 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 will be taking in. We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people. And then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people. But we're going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It's about ‘Make America Great Again.’ We have to do it because right now we're a failing nation. So we'll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question. Thank you.

Axios - Former President Trump spoke four times as long as Vice President Harris at a sample of six campaign rallies studied by the N.Y. Times:

  • Trump spoke for an average of 98 minutes at three rallies.
  • Harris spoke for an average of 24 minutes at three rallies.

Being there: "The longer duration of a Trump event compared with a Harris one may have contributed to a greater number of early exits," The Times reports. "Trump rallygoers typically arrived earlier in the day, and opening speeches tended to start earlier and last longer." See the report

They made a movie about Trump. Then no one would release it
