Steve Bannon's lawyers have asked a judge to IMMEDIATELY let Bannon leave prison, in spite of the fact that he has only served two months of his four month sentence. They claim that he shouldn't have to sit in prison as he appeals his conviction, but that argument has already been ruled on by a judge. There's a much better explanation as to why Bannon suddenly wants out, and it has everything to do with Trump's campaign going down the toilet.
Also, it appears that Donald Trump has, at least for the moment, lost yet another supporter - and this time it is a high profile supporter who actually spoke at his convention. Lila Rose told Politico last week that she would not be voting for Trump now (though that could change) due to his recent statement that he would NOT support a national ban on abortion. Other Trump supporters have also been furious about this decision, and it could cost Trump big time.
And J.D. Vance just can't seem to get things right, and during a speech last week to a group of Boston Firefighters, Vance was booed consistently throughout the speech. The vice presidential candidate handled it about as well as could be expected, but you could tell that the boos were really starting to get to him by the time he finally left the stage.
Finally, Donald Trump's campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said last week that the public doesn't care about Trump's posts on Truth Social, and she's either completely oblivious to what the rest of the campaign thinks or she's lying. According to Trump campaign aide David Urban, the posts are horrible and are absolutely hurting the campaign - a sentiment shared by other Trump staffers in interviews last week to Rolling Stone. Farron Cousins explains what Trump's staff really thinks of his posting habits.

According to a recent report, staffers and insiders close to Donald Trump are starting to panic that his heart really isn't in this presidential race. They say that he is still spending most of his days on the golf course while his campaign continues to slowly die. Trump is old, and it is obvious that he doesn't have the stamina or even the mental capacity to continue his campaign in the way that he needs to, and there's nothing that these staffers can do to fix it.
Also, Donald Trump's idiotic decision to turn his visit to Arlington National Cemetery into a campaign stunt has been one of the biggest blunders of his campaign. In fact, it was so bad (and the scandal clearly isn't going away) that even conservatives are starting to question just what the hell is wrong with him. Conservative writer Charlie Sykes even went as far as to say that the event proved that something is fundamentally "broken" inside of Trump.
And every new poll that comes out presents more and more bad news for Donald Trump, and that's not an exaggeration. Vice President Harris is crushing the convicted felon among likely voters and new voters, and enthusiasm on the Democratic side has hit levels that we haven't seen since the 2008 election. All of this positive news has left political analysts virtually speechless, as this meteoric rise is not something that is common in politics.
Finally, during a recent interview with CNN's John Berman, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt became increasingly combative as she attempted to avoid questions about Trump's very public social media meltdowns. But Berman wasn't letting her off the hook that easily, and he continued to not only press her to answer the questions, but also engaged in some real time fact-checking to call out her lies.

Donald Trump went on one of the worst tears ever this week on social media, raging about everything that is going wrong with his life. But at one point, he took a bizarre detour and demanded that Judge Juan Merchan lift the gag order that he's still under so that he can name the members of the jury. Trump is free to attack the jury, but he is NOT allowed to mention anyone by name for very obvious reasons.
Also, a top Republican donor is lashing out at Donald Trump over his embrace of what the donor calls the "kook" rejects from the Democratic Party. Specifically, the donor is angry about Trump's alliances with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard. The donor says that Trump should focus on winning over Nikki Haley's voters, but he likely won't do that because it is actually a smart campaign strategy.
And Donald Trump may have completely bottomed out this week as everything around him crashes and burns. During one of his many rants on social media this week, Trump accused Kamala Harris of having "fake numbers" on social media after it became clear that she was getting more engagement on her posts than he was. This sent Trump into an absolute frenzy, as his number one concern is still ratings.
Finally, Donald Trump had a friendly interview with Dr. Phil McGraw this week, and the convicted felon wasn't afraid to show the doctor just how insane he really is. At one point during the interview, Trump claimed that he could easily win California but Democrats have it so "rigged" that the only way for him to win would be for Jesus to come down from heaven to count the votes. McGraw didn't push back on this claim AT ALL, which is a testament to his pathetic lack of skills.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith brought a superseding indictment against Donald Trump this week in an effort to avoid running into the issue of presidential immunity as he seeks to prosecute Trump for interfering with the results of the 2020 election. Legal experts are praising the decision, but Trump got on Truth Social and absolutely lost his mind, which was to be expected.
Also, there is nothing funnier than watching Republicans grasp at straws as they attempt to attack Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. This week, a new controversy erupted over a very old post on Walz's Instagram page, where he is seen pictured with a dog and mentioned that his dog, Scout, had fun at the park with this other dog. Conservatives tried to claim that it was proof that Walz is suffering from some sort of mental problem because that wasn't his dog, but the reality is that these people don't understand context.
And it looks like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. didn't think things through properly when he decided to suspend his independent presidential campaign to help Donald Trump win the election. Kennedy said that he was pulling his name off of the ballots in swing states in order to give Trump an edge, but it was revealed this week that he can't actually do that because he missed the deadline. So this means that Kennedy's grand plan has already been thwarted because he didn't read the fine print.
Finally, if you want to know how different the two presidential campaigns are, look no further than at what happened on Tuesday of this week. Vice President Kamala Harris was out talking about her plan to provide millions of new housing units to low income Americans, even going further than she previously had by outlining how the plan would work. On the Republican side, instead of talking about policy, Donald Trump released a new set of digital trading cards to sell to his supporters for hundreds of dollars. Harris is trying to rebuild the country while Trump is trying to line his own pockets.

Donald Trump traveled to Detroit, Michigan this week to deliver a speech about something - it is hard to say what the speech was supposed to be about because he went off on so many weird and incoherent tangents. But the convicted felon barely seemed alive during the low energy speech, and he repeatedly slurred and stuttered his way through the entire thing looking like he'd rather be anywhere else other than where he was.
Also, Donald Trump returned to Twitter (now called X) over the weekend with a flurry of posts. The convicted felon understands that Twitter is his best option to reach as many people as possible, but the decision to return comes with a price - he has to essentially sacrifice Truth Social and potentially billions of dollars. The stock for Truth Social began to tank when Trump returned to Twitter, and it was already in a bad position prior to his Twitter spree.
And during a segment with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell recently, Rudy Giuliani claimed that Steve Bannon is somehow being "tortured" in prison because he isn't allowed to watch TV, according to Giuliani's alleged "sources." Republicans love to talk a big game when it comes to being the "tough on crime" Party, but they are the ones constantly standing up for convicted felons and wanting them to be coddled.
Finally, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade completely lost his mind and accused the Harris campaign of "theft" this week after he said that the Democrats were stealing the theme of "patriotism" from Republicans. For decades Republicans have acted like they are the only Party that cares about the country, but now they are being out-gamed by the Democrats who are attempting to retake that messaging and apply it to themselves - and it is working!

Donald Trump posted and then promptly deleted an error-filled post on Truth Social this past weekend after receiving intense ridicule. In addition to multiple misspellings of things that weren't even words to begin with, the post simply ended in the middle of a sentence and went out to the world. This was another example of Trump's failing cognitive state, and luckily screenshots of his mental lapse captured what happened.
Also, Donald Trump is furious that people are saying he called into Fox News to talk about Kamala Harris's speech last week, and over the weekend he took to Truth Social to make sure that everyone knows that Fox News called HIM, and not the other way around. He then proclaimed that he was a ratings machine, even though his RNC got smoked by the ratings of the DNC. The man is falling apart, and so is his entire life right now, and all he can think to do is rage about Fox News on social media.
And there are no more outlier polls showing that Donald Trump has any kind of edge over Kamala Harris, and polls over the weekend showed that Harris now has a national lead of 7 points. But it gets worse for Trump - even conservative polls that skew heavily to the Right are showing that he is losing to Harris, which means even the biased pollsters can no longer inflate the numbers to make it seem better for Trump. This election could easily be a landslide.
Finally, Donald Trump made a blunder so bad a few days ago that even some of his most ardent supporters say they can't take it anymore and won't be supporting him. So what was this massive mistake that turned away the MAGA crowd? Believe it or not, it was something that wasn't completely unreasonable, and is actually a pretty decent policy. The irony is that the second Trump says something that isn't insane, his base immediately turns on him. Farron explains what this "blunder" was.

Donald Trump tried to deflect some of the media's attention away from the DNC and back onto him with a speech at the border last week, but instead he reminded the country of just how bad his cognitive functioning has become. During what was supposed to be a speech about his border policies, Trump instead went on a low energy "rant" about the state of Minnesota, claiming that he would have won the state if not for the "hanky panky" going on there. No one knows what this means, and the media decided to completely ignore it.
Also, things are going from bad to worse for Republican Senator Ted Cruz as he watches his election chances start to slip away. Cruz is now only 2.1 percentage points ahead of his Democratic challenger Colin Allred, and that is within the margin for error in the latest poll. Allred isn't pulling any punches as he torches Cruz for everything from hiding during the Capitol Riot to fleeing Texas when they needed him the most.
And more and more Republican voters are making the switch from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris, and some of them were even given speaking slots at last week's Democratic convention. To make matters even worse for Trump, a growing number of former backers of Republican candidate Nikki Haley are now throwing their weight behind Harris and working to get more Republican voters to do the same. This is horrible news for Trump, as Farron explains.
Finally, things are clearly not going well for Donald Trump and his third presidential campaign, and a former Republican lawmaker has offered a simple explanation as to why that is: His act has gotten boring. David Jolly, a former GOP Representative from Florida, told MSNBC recently that Trump is like an aging rock star whose fans have started to fade and who isn't capable of attracting new supporters by only playing his greatest hits (which are just his personal grievances.) Trump has become the boring candidate in the race, and he doesn't know how to fix this.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell tried to go "incognito" at the DNC this week by shaving his mustache and dressing like Roger Stone, but he didn't fool anyone. On top of his pathetic disguise, he was also spouting the same lies that he's always told, and at one point he was even put in his place by a 12-year old reporter/activist called Knowa. Lindell proved how pathetic he really is at this event.
Also, during a speech in North Carolina this week, Donald Trump told the crowd that he's having trouble sticking to policy because people are being so mean to him. He then polled the crowd on whether or not he should stick to personal attacks, and they overwhelmingly agreed that he should. This is NOT what his advisors wanted to happen, as it gives Trump everything he needs to continue being a terrible candidate.
And Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance made the ultimate blunder during an appearance on Jake Tapper's show on CNN this week. During the interview, Vance was supposed to be attacking Tim Walz, but instead he ended up attacking Donald Trump - and he didn't even seem to realize it! It happened when Vance said that it is ridiculous that a politician in 2024 is whining about what happened to them in the past instead of using their position to help people.
Finally, Donald Trump isn't just losing support among moderates and independents - he is currently hemorrhaging support from high profile Republicans. The DNC this week featured multiple Republican faithfuls who are supporting Kamala Harris, and the online world is facing the same problem, as many Trump loyalists are starting to sour on his failing campaign. This is the worst thing that could happen for Trump, and even an endorsement by RFK Jr. likely can't save this sinking ship.

During her speech at the DNC this week, former Trump White House aide Stephanie Grisham said that Donald Trump has very little love for his supporters behind closed doors. In fact, Grisham said that Trump referred to them as "basement dwellers." Those are harsh words about the people that were willing to break the law for him during the Capitol Riot, but this admission is unlikely to wake any of them up.
Also, Donald Trump attempted to outdo the Democratic Convention with a speech to law enforcement this week, but things quickly went off the rails when Trump made a shockingly stupid, and completely insane, claim about crime in the United States. Trump flatly stated that a person in this country can no longer walk across the street to buy groceries without being murdered or assaulted - and he stated this as a fact. Violent crime in this country has been on the decline for several years in a row, and Republicans don't know how to handle this progress.
And Donald Trump is less than one month away from being able to sell any of his shares in the Trump Media & Technology Group (which owns Truth Social.) But by the time he can finally sell it, the stock may be completely worthless. For the last few days, the stock has been going through a freefall, bottoming out at close to $20 per share, down from a high of nearly $80 per share. The company is just as worthless as Trump's presidential campaign.
Finally, according to sources close to Donald Trump, his biggest fear this week was that the Democratic Convention would pull in higher ratings than his convention. Now that the data is rolling in, that nightmare has become a reality as the DNC pulled in a larger audience, increasing viewership over the RNC by 21%. That's a massive gap between the two, and it could be even more proof that the country is far more excited about the Democratic candidates than they are about the Republicans.

Donald Trump has a new creepy obsession with talking about Kamala Harris's physical appearance, and it isn't clear anymore if he wants to beat her in the election or date her in the future. Trump keeps going back and forth talking about her looks - sometimes saying she looks beautiful and other times saying that he is much better looking than her. This is not only creepy and weird, but it is a disastrous campaign choice for a campaign that is already dying.
Also, House Republicans released their lackluster impeachment inquiry report on Monday, and although they couldn't find any crimes, they still want to impeach President Biden. Believe it or not, this didn't sit well with right wing MAGA influencers, and they blasted the Republican Party for being complete failures. Some agreed that the probe was a waste of time, while others insisted that there were crimes but Republicans were too stupid to find them. Either way, they aren't happy and some are promising retribution.
And the Democratic Convention is off to a rousing start, and Republicans couldn't be more upset about that. RNC co-chair Lara Trump went on Fox News as the convention kicked off to try to steer the media's attention back to Donald Trump, and she did it in a very weird way by reminding people that he was "shot in the head." Voters don't seem to care about that anymore, mostly because Trump has actually gotten even worse since it happened.
Finally, during a recent rally, Donald Trump openly asked the crowd why we were even bothering to have an election because he is, as he put it, at 93%. He didn't specify what the 93% meant, nor did he make it clear if he was talking about a primary election or the general election (even though the primaries ended long ago.) There are only two possibilities: Either Trump wants to be a dictator and cancel our elections, or he's so demented that he genuinely doesn't know why we're having an election. Both options are really bad, as Farron explains.

Donald Trump spent this past weekend having a complete meltdown on Truth Social, complete with lies about his rally size on Saturday, fake AI images of Kamala Harris, and at one point he even fell for a fake video of Taylor Swift fans endorsing him to which he said "I accept." The man is not well, and he's not afraid to let the entire world know that he's suffering.
Also, during an interview on Fox News this past weekend, Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance had a nervous breakdown when he was asked by host Shannon Bream about his, and the campaign's, horrible poll numbers. Vance insisted that these polls are actually just "fake polls" that the media is putting out to depress Republican voter turnout. The man is just as divorced from reality as Donald Trump is.
And Lindsey Graham has been one of Donald Trump's closest allies ever since he had that change of heart 8 years ago. But even Graham can no longer deny the fact that Trump is running one of the worst and most pathetic campaigns that we've seen in modern history. During an interview a few days ago, Graham actually admitted that Trump is on a losing path right now and if he doesn't change courses, he has virtually no path to victory in November.
Finally, Fox News host Brit Hume hit the Fox audience with a brutal reality check during a recent segment when he finally admitted - and tried to force them to understand - that America simply does not like Donald Trump and they never have. He barely escaped with a victory in 2016 and that was only because of the electoral college, but he can't bank on anything like that happening again. The man is deeply unpopular and his base needs to understand that.

The Republican Party is in full panic mode as Donald Trump continues to make the 2024 election about his personal grievances instead of anything that actually matters to voters. While Kamala Harris is unveiling new economic plans and tax cuts for families, Trump is whining about magazine covers and crowd sizes to increasingly smaller and smaller audiences. He doesn't know how to handle himself, but he knows he's not going to take anyone's advice, and that's why Republicans are panicking.
Also, in case you needed another reason to vote against Donald Trump in November, it was announced late last week that the convicted felon has put his two idiot sons in charge of hiring people for his administration, if he wins. Officially, Trump's long term friend and ally Linda McMahon is in charge of the transition team, but he made his two sons honorary chairs, which means that they will have the power to pick who makes it onto the team.
And when she was tapped by John McCain in 2008, Sarah Palin was widely regarded as the worst possible running mate in the modern era. But just 16 short years later, J.D. Vance has proven that he's somehow even worse. According to the latest polls released a few days ago, Vance is now LESS popular than Sarah Palin ever was, making him the worst Republican running mate of the past 50+ years. He brings nothing to the ticket, but has definitely helped drag it down.
Finally, a popular newspaper in the swing state of Pennsylvania is blasting the media for failing to properly cover Donald Trump's obvious, and possibly dangerous, cognitive decline. The editorial board of The Philadelphia Inquirer published the op-ed late last week, and all the points they made are vital. The media couldn't help themselves from talking about President Biden's mental slip ups after the debate, but Trump has been given a virtual free pass in spite of his insane rantings, conspiracy theories, and his record of extremism.

Donald Trump's advisers are starting to panic as his anger continues to grow to levels they've never seen. The anger is coming from the fact that he continues to lose ground in each new poll that comes out - and the latest polling data shows that Harris has either taken the lead or tied with Trump in EVERY swing state. There's even talk of Harris possibly winning Florida now. With each new poll, his anger grows deeper, and he's taking it out on the people that he's depending on to save his campaign.
Also, according to those closest to Donald Trump, the Republican nominee is ignoring the advice of his actual advisers and instead is relying on talking points filled with conspiracy theories from people sending him text messages. While they didn't reveal who is texting the convicted felon, it speaks volumes to Trump's psyche that he is willing to ignore the smart people and embrace what the crazies are telling him.
And media outlets and the Harris campaign have spent the entire week mocking Donald Trump for one reason or another, and that constant ridiculing caused Trump to have a massive temper tantrum on Truth Social. Trump lashed out at the media and said that he "hates" them during his derisive and childish rant, and then claimed that his disastrous interview with Elon Musk was nothing short of a work of art. He's as desperate as ever at this point.
Finally, Donald Trump's former rival Nikki Haley has some advice for the failing Republican nominee: Stop whining about everything! During an interview on Fox News this week, Haley said that Trump needs to get out there and actually start campaigning instead of sitting in his golf resort whining on social media all day. Haley wasn't quite as explicit with her claims, but it was very obvious that her advice was directed at Trump. Farron explains what's happening and why it won't move Trump away from what he's doing.

Some of Donald Trump's biggest supporters are now conceding that he might be the loser that everyone has warned them about for so long. MAGA influencers across the internet are already admitting defeat in this year's election and begging Trump to change course before it is too late. Trump can't afford to lose any support - especially not from the people who are the most vocal about supporting him.
Also, Donald Trump's spokesman Steven Cheung went absolutely ballistic after Trump's failed interview with Elon Musk on Monday and the subsequent universal mockery of the event. Cheung sent out a profane post on Twitter attacking the Harris Campaign for mocking the failed event, calling them cowards for not putting their name on the statement. But the statement was from the campaign itself, so it didn't need to be signed. Cheung is exhibiting classic signs of desperation as the walls close in on his campaign.
And during an interview on CNN this week, Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton said that Donald Trump needs to get off Truth Social, and that his campaign may need to force him off the platform and back out into the country. Singleton suggested that Trump is more powerful when he's speaking to voters instead of posting online, but that hasn't been the case with Trump's recent rally performances. There's just no helping the campaign at this point.
Finally, Donald Trump's increasingly fragile mental health has been getting more and more attention recently, mostly due to the convicted felon's insane posts on Truth Social. One political analyst believes that the former president is now stuck in what he calls a "mental health death spiral," where the worse the news gets for Trump, the worse his mental health gets. And this is a self-perpetuating cycle for Trump.

Donald Trump's mental illness got so bad over the weekend that even his own supporters now believe he might be insane. It all started when Trump claimed on Truth Social that the crowd sizes at Kamala Harris' rallies were fake and generated by AI, and his supporters went ballistic watching him deny reality. They bashed him on both his own social media site and on Twitter, telling him that he's on a path to lose the race because he's denying reality.
Also, Donald Trump is losing so badly that he's now attacking his own billionaire donors. According to a new report, Trump recently fired off a series of angry text messages to Miriam Adelson, blaming her for sending money to "RINO" Republicans. Adelson says that she was shocked by the texts and by Trump's behavior in general. Trump is losing his grip on his own sanity as his campaign goes down the drain.
And in an early morning Truth Social post on Monday, Donald Trump accused Kamala Harris of being a "flip flopper" on certain issues, but he did it in the weirdest way possible. Trump said that Harris is now starting to sound "more like Trump than Trump," referring to himself in the third person while trying to also use it as an insult against his political rival. If you're going to tear someone down, it is probably best to not do so by comparing them to yourself.
Finally, as his campaign continues to flounder, Donald Trump loses more and more of his grip on reality. In a Truth Social post over the weekend, Trump falsely claimed that he was winning the race in all of the "real" polls, even though Harris has overtaken him in those polls. He also claimed that this is his most successful and best campaign ever, but that's obviously not even close to being the truth. As things get worse, so will Trump's psyche.

According to someone who says he's heard from Trump campaign insiders, staffers for Donald Trump are starting to raise concerns about the former President's declining mental health. Things have gone from bad to worse with Trump's brain in recent weeks, and every time he gets more bad news, his mental health seems to take another hit. And if the staffers are starting to talk about it, then it could be game over for the campaign if they decide to actually come forward with their concerns.
Also, according to a new survey, both Donald Trump and Kari Lake are getting crushed by their respective Democratic opponents in the state of Arizona. Trump is now trailing Kamala Harris by 3 percentage points, while Kari Lake is losing to Ruben Gallego by a shocking 11 points! This is terrible news for Republicans, and since Lake has been such an ardent MAGA supporter, it also shows that the movement can't win in states like Arizona anymore.
And Donald Trump's campaign is trying to put on a brave face as he continues to lose ground to Kamala Harris in every single national poll. One of the campaign's top advisers proclaimed in a recent interview that Harris' bump in the polls is nothing more than "suspended reality," suggesting that the campaign has nothing to worry about. This kind of attitude will sink the entire campaign, so it is probably best to let them continue to live in their own "suspended reality."
Finally, a former close advisor to Donald Trump was so shocked by his performance at the recent press conference that he says the former president can no longer tell the difference between reality and fantasy. John Bolton, who served as a national security advisor during Trump's only term in The White House, made the comments on Friday to CNN. And he's not wrong - Trump's speech was filled with verifiably false statements and claims that don't even come close to being real.

According to new reports, Donald Trump is so angry about the implosion of his presidential campaign that he's started attacking his own staff during calls with his allies. Trump, as usual, believes that everyone not named Trump is to blame for his string of recent failures, and he refuses to accept that he is the problem (along with his hugely unpopular VP pick.) And with the latest polls in the last few days, you can bet that Trump is about to become even angrier.
Also, calling Donald Trump and JD Vance "weird" is clearly getting under their skin, and Vance told reporters this week that he wishes the media would stop using that word to describe them. While insisting that he and Trump were the "normal" people on the campaign, he then turned around and said that Harris and Walz were "weird," which is about as clever as Vance can get.
And Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt made a major error during a recent appearance on Fox News, which just gives us more evidence that the Trump campaign is in complete disarray. Rather than hiring competent people with campaign experience, Trump has turned to young women in their 20's with marginal experience and no formal training, and their lack of experience is showing in their recent media hits.
Finally, the Supreme Court this week rejected a longshot case that would have prevented Donald Trump from being sentenced for his felony convictions until after the 2024 election. The lawsuit was brought by the state of Missouri, and they argued that giving Trump a criminal sentence would somehow rob their voters of their constitutional rights - an argument that even the Supreme Court didn't feel was worth listening to.

Donald Trump is so desperate to find a line of attack that works against Kamala Harris that he has now resorted to complete gibberish. In posts on Truth Social this week, Trump has started referring to Kamala as KAMABLA, an intentional misspelling of her name. Not only is this not clever, but it also won't attract a single new voter to his campaign - but it has the potential to push away moderates that are currently on his side.
Also, JD Vance is following in his running mate Donald Trump's footsteps and he's already refusing to commit to a debate against freshly-minted Democratic nominee Tim Walz. Vance, and the entire Trump campaign, are already running scared after Harris picked the best possible running mate, and they don't want Vance to be exposed as a fraud up on stage with a real midwesterner.
And Freshman Republican Representative Andy Ogles could be in serious legal trouble after a visit from the FBI last week where they took his electronic devices, including his cell phone. The issue appears to be related to false campaign finance filings that Ogles submitted. Those filings were riddled with falsehoods that Ogles was forced to correct and retract via amended filings. But the damage may have already been done by that point.
Finally, a former Trump campaign advisor (that is currently involved in litigation against the Trump campaign) says that Trump's mind is "gone." But the reason isn't one that most people would think or even notice. According to former advisor AJ Delgado, Trump's recent admission about his favorite UFC fighter is proof that he has no idea what he's talking about anymore, as he stumbled over a very simple question without being able to give a real answer.

Donald Trump is flopping hard with young voters, so a right wing streamer decided to try to give him a boost - and it didn't go well. The streamer, Adin Ross, gifted Trump a Tesla Cybertruck and then proceeded to film himself dancing alongside the convicted felon, doing Trump's signature move of simply pumping his arms like a man that is hearing music for the first time in his life. The whole scene was gag-inducing.
Also, a physical altercation broke out at the opening of a Trump campaign office in Georgia this week, with Republican activists getting physical with Republican staffers. It began when one Republican spit on another, and then things escalated from there. This Party can't even get along with themselves, so how do people think Republicans are ever going to be able to properly lead this country?
And between congratulating Vladimir Putin for the prisoner swap that President Biden helped arrange and then cheering on the stock market crash that happened Monday, it is clear that Donald Trump wants America to fail. And, politically speaking, he needs the country to be a mess in order for voters to actually consider supporting him. But Trump's statements about both events were appalling, and no one should support the kind of anti-America talk that we see coming from Trump.
Finally, Donald Trump's own super fans have turned on him once again - for about the tenth time in the past two weeks - over his decision to change the terms of his next presidential debate. The phrase #TrumpIsACoward was trending on Truth Social for a full day, and that's not coming from people who already despised Trump - this was HIS social media platform calling him out. Trump's fans actually seem to be waking up to the reality that this man is not what they had once believed.

Donald Trump is now losing in virtually every single national poll, as well as nearly every swing state poll to Kamala Harris. In order to deal with this crushing bad news, Trump has once again wrapped himself up in a cocoon of alternative facts. His campaign put out a statement claiming that ALL of these polls showing Trump getting crushed are completely fake, which is a gigantic lie. But there's a reason they are pushing this lie, other than protecting Trump's ego.
Also, during his rally in Georgia this past weekend, Donald Trump spent a lot of time attacking the very popular Republican leadership in the state because he's still mad they didn't break the law to let him win Georgia in the 2020 election. But this move is likely to backfire on him, according to Republican leaders in the state. They are now furious about his attacks and political operatives are now terrified that Trump may have already cost them Georgia in this year's election, too.
And the Attorney General of Arizona has announced that the first indicted fake elector in the state has agreed to become a cooperating witness against the others who were recently indicted, marking the first flip in this investigation. This is usually when the rest of the dominoes begin to fall, and with one person agreeing to cooperate, it can be assumed that others are going to make that same decision very soon.
Finally, everything that Donald Trump has done for the past few weeks has been wrong, and it has cost his campaign tremendously. From picking JD Vance as his running mate, to attacking Kamala Harris' ethnicity, to attacking his fellow Republicans, Trump just can't seem to get it right. And now, because of his missteps, his campaign is in complete freefall and he doesn't know how to fix things. And that's actually coming from Republicans!
