I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious.
Aug. 26: Stephen Miller says "the Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization."
Sept. 25: Miller put in charge of coordinating a federal campaign to prosecute "domestic terrorist organizations."
While I was on CNN at 1 pm predicting that the Trump administration would use the Charlie Kirk murder as an excuse to deploy government power against peaceful and legal political competition in 2026 ...
Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.
Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Stepping outside on an 80 degree November day realizing not only that Donald Trump will be president for the next four years, but that this will be the coldest November for the rest of my life
🚨URGENT🚨Getting reports people are being turned away to vote when their ID address doesn't match on file address - that is NOT correct! The addresses don't have to match. If you or someone you know runs into this, tell them to insist on filling out a provisional ballot.
Trump, overnight: “If Kamala wins, you are 3 days away from the start of a 1929-style economic depression.”
What has happened since the last time he predicted a depression if a Democrat won:
My Final Plea To EVERY Voter:
I come from the populist GOP base. I voted for Trump in 2016. When I publicly turned against Trump in 2018, I took a blowtorch to my career. I lost everything. But I did it bcuz I believe Trump is everything our Founders feared. He lies every time he opens his mouth, he believes he's above the law, he wants to be an authoritarian, and he's humanly incapable of putting the country's interests first.
I'm not asking you to take a blowtorch to your career. But I am asking you to put your country's interests ahead of your own partisan interests.
Every day for the past 6 yrs, Republicans have told me, "Yes Joe, Trump is a bad guy, but...but the economy, but my taxes, but the Dems are communists, but...whatever."
Trump is way worse than a "bad guy." He's someone you would never work with or work for, someone you would never trust your wife or daughters with, yet you'd put him in the White House?
Start with his lying. NO OTHER POLITICIAN lies as much as Trump. He lies every time he opens his mouth. How can you allow your country to be led by someone who lies like that?
He has never believed the law applies to him. It's why he took classified docs and obstructed the search for them, and why he committed crimes trying to overthrow the 2020 election. He believes he's above the law. How can you vote for someone who believes he's above the law?
He wants to be a dictator. He's pledged to use the military to go after his political opponents, to shut down media outlets he doesn't like, to jail people who burn the American flag...the list goes on & on. A dictator is anathema to America. How can you vote for someone who pledges to be a dictator?
Finally, Trump is humanly incapable of putting the country's interests first. He is capable of acting ONLY in his own interests. It's why he so fucked up our response to Covid. He couldn't do what was best for the country when Covid hit. So many Americans died bcuz Trump was only capable of thinking about Trump. It's why when he lost the 2020 election, he couldn't accept the loss & concede. Because HE WAS CAPABLE OF ONLY CARING ABOUT HIMSELF. He couldn't put the country first.
How can you vote for someone FOR PRESIDENT who is humanly incapable of putting the country's interests first?
And how can you vote for someone who will NEVER concede when he loses an election? He won’t concede again if he loses this year. How can you support someone who refuses to accept the decision of the American people?
Trump is the EXACT OPPOSITE of how you raised your children. How can you vote for someone who you told your children NOT to be like in every way?
I'm not asking you to do what I did & take a blowtorch to your career. I'm just asking you to put your country's interests ahead of your own. Voting against Trump won't kill YOUR career. Our economy is doing fine right now under Biden/Harris. Crime is down right now. You're doing better financially now than you were when Biden/Harris got elected 4yrs ago, and you know it.
All I'm asking u to do is put your country first. Don't put a horrible human being back in the White House. Don't put the chaotic Trump shit show back in the White House.
I'm asking you to rise above your own selfish interests. I'm asking you to think beyond yourself. Your personal finances will be just fine. I'm asking you to set an example for your children. Do u really want them to have to ask you one day why you voted for a guy who actually tried to overthrow an American election? Really?
Kamala Harris loves this country, she'll defend our democracy, she'll abide by the rule of law, she'll focus on the American people and not herself, and she'll govern from the common sense center. You'll be just fine with her in the White House.
6yrs ago, I took a blowtorch to my career for doing the right thing. But you know what? I'm still standing. I'm okay.
Do the right thing. Rise above your partisan interests and do the right thing. You'll be okay too.
Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible.
Manson didn’t kill anyone himself. But he was responsible.
Bin Laden didn’t fly the planes himself. But he was responsible.
Trump didn’t storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible.
Justice matters.
