I'm guessing it was in reference to Swift signing it - a childless cat lady? yes. He said he would give her a baby and take good care of her cat. As an employer, has the man never done a mandatory training on sexual harassment? And he posted it on HIS social media company for the world to see? I can just see the lawyer who runs our system's training sessions using Elon's comment as a prime example of things that are wildly inappropriate.

The Borowitz Report
Trump Demands to see Taylor Swift's Birth CertificatePALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—Hinting darkly that “there’s something going on,” on Friday Donald J. Trump demanded to see Taylor Swift’s birth certificate. “Shifty Swift has been in a lot of different countries this year,” he said. “People are saying that someone who was born here wouldn’t be in so many other countries, quite frankly.” Casting further doubt on her identity, Trump asserted, “She used to say she was a country singer, and suddenly she turned pop. I respect either one but she obviously doesn’t.” In perhaps his harshest attack, he questioned how many voters Swift could sway “because everyone knows I’m a much better singer.” Trump Demands to see Taylor Swift's Birth Certificate

Is Melania packing her bags? Laura Loomer’s proximity to Trump draws backlashFar-right activist Laura Loomer’s visible presence alongside former President Trump in recent days is sparking questions about her influence and a substantial amount of criticism from figures aligned with the GOP presidential nominee. Loomer is an outspoken Trump supporter who is known for spreading conspiracy theories and using racist rhetoric. She flew on Trump’s plane to Tuesday’s debate in Philadelphia and was part of his entourage as he attended memorial events Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. She does not have any official role with Trump’s campaign, multiple sources said. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch Trump ally, engaged in a heated and personal social media battle with Loomer over X that began Wednesday night and carried into Thursday. She separately told reporters it would be a mistake to rely on Loomer for advice, and that her rhetoric did not fit in with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. “This is such an important election. I don’t think that she has the experience or the right mentality to advise,” Greene told reporters on Wednesday, adding she was not privy to Trump’s conversations with Loomer. “I do know this, that her rhetoric and her tone does not match the base, it does not match MAGA, it does not match most Republicans I know,” Greene continued. “And I’m really denouncing it. I’m over it.” . Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a strong ally of Trump in the Senate, on Thursday called out Loomer for racist comments about Vice President Harris, in which she used crude stereotypes to attack Harris’s Indian heritage. The remarks were also criticized by Greene. Graham said the remarks were “abhorrent” and noted Loomer also has made “disturbing” comments about Republicans. “I think that the president would serve himself well to make sure this doesn’t become a bigger story,” Graham told HuffPost. Loomer was spotted deplaning with Trump aides and family members on Tuesday in Philadelphia ahead of the debate between the GOP nominee and Harris, and she was in the spin room that night.

I never knew the complete background of trump's actions, so I decided to look into it. Linked article below the meme. Donald Trump under fire for mocking disabled reporterMr Trump performed an impression of Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, at a rally. He has used a 2001 article by Mr Kovaleski to back up widely disputed claims that "thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the 9/11 attacks. The New York Times called Mr Trump's actions "outrageous". 'The poor guy'Referring to the 2001 article, external (published by the Washington Post) at a South Carolina rally on Tuesday night, Mr Trump called Mr Kovaleski "a nice reporter". "Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy," he continued, before launching into an apparent impression of Mr Kovaleski, waving his arms around with his hands at an odd angle. "Uhh I don't know what I said. Uhh I don't remember. He's going like 'I don't remember. Maybe that's what I said.'" Mr Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a condition that affects the movement of joints and is noticeable in his right arm and hand. A New York Times spokeswoman told news site Politico, external: "We think it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters," The original Washington Post article by Mr Kovaleski said that authorities in Jersey City "detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river". Since Mr Trump's claims about Muslim Americans celebrating 9/11, the reporter has said he does "not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating".

Yes, but conservatives aren’t racists. They just “tell it like it is”.

We always knew trump was a racist and surrounded himself with racists. Racism within the trump Republican party is kind of the norm.

My own parents were reminding me this week about the meat market in China where they saw puppies and kittens for sale as food. But what does that have to do with Haitian immigrants in this country? They aren't even from the same continent...

She's stupid and so is Trump for listening to her. Kamala was born in this country. If she wants to be concerned about influence from India, she should look at the current GOP. JD Vance's wife is first generation born here however still has family in India. They are also wealthy, the kind of wealth which influences politics far more than two parents from other countries kind of wealth. Plus, they have the crazy Indian guy, former candidate, carrying water for Trump as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_RamaswamyRamaswamy sees the United States in the middle of a national identity crisis precipitated by what he calls "new secular religions like COVID-ism, climate-ism, and gender ideology".[4] He is also a critic of environmental, social, and corporate governance initiatives (ESG).[5]

Trump is not so busy with his campaign and stack of legal problems he doesn’t have time to launch a cryptocurrency company on Monday.
I guess he’s about milked the social media company for as much as he can, time to find a new grift.

I guess he’s about milked the social media company for as much as he can, time to find a new grift. Wasn't trump courting the crytocurrency people a few months ago? I wonder what kind of deals he promised them if they give him money and if he gets elected.

I made the mistake of clicking on a post about that that appeared in my Facebook feed. Holy cow there is not enough tinfoil in the world. I think I found where certain posters get their information from.

Well there are 300,000 Haitian born Americans pretty pissed at him too - and we're up to 700k now. Can’t even guess at the number of childless cat women. Sometimes I wonder if Trump is trying to lose.

he has this thing he does- which is to go against conventional wisdom. it is why his cult thinks he is honest. because he says stuff that he believes, even if it is utterly false.
that is why he won't lose votes over it with his base. he says out loud the stuff they keep to themselves.

I don't care if he loses a single vote with his base. Those idiots are so far gone already.... I just want him to inspire another 10 million people to come out and vote specifically to vote against him like last time. That'll be good enough.

Holy fuck. Trump gives a speech in California talking about how there is a giant faucet that is currently dumping all the rain from north of California out into the Pacific Ocean, but if they just turn that wheel, all the water would pour down into California and everyone would get all the water they need, and all the brown forests would be green again. www.eenews.net/articles/trump-promises-california-more-water-than-you-ever-saw/When he said there is a giant faucet, I though that was a metaphor - but no, he claims it has a handle as big as the side of the building and it takes all day to turn. He literally thinks there is a giant faucet controlling all the water from Washington and Oregon. Does anyone have an idea where that idea might have come from - my guess is an opium dream?

Well Swamp suggested it’s a cartoon water faucet, so cartoon water is coming out of it, so maybe it doesn’t have to obey the laws of nature.

The guys on Pod Save America said that when Harris talked about Trump’s rallies during the debate it was the equivalent of bugs bunny painting a tunnel on the cinder block wall and picking up the road to reroute to the fake tunnel. How is bugs bunny so apt when discussing Trump? 😅
