Trump: Jewish people ought to have their heads examined. Who are these people? If I don’t win this election, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with that

“Trump, Vance and American blood and soil” via @FT “Trump and Vance are playing roulette with real human beings. But elections are not morality contests. Their cynicism over the stolen pet myth may not be as self-harming as it looks.” https://t.co/yfk5955ek7

🚨In this video, The Intellectualist explores Donald Trump’s lifelong pattern of disrespecting the U.S. military—from mocking war heroes like John McCain to belittling the sacrifices of fallen soldiers—exposes a disturbing disdain for those who served.

In 2023, Trump mocked Paul Pelosi after he was nearly murdered:

“How's her husband doing by the way anybody know? She's against building a wall on our border even though she has a wall around her house which obviously didn't do a very good job.”

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

Trump: Democrats said please don’t call immigrants animals. I said, no, they’re not humans, they’re animals.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

This is the average intelligence of anti-immigration racists.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

This is on you, Trump and Vance. You can both go f*ck yourselves. 😡

[Holger Zschaepitz @Schuldensuehner]

Good Morning from Germany, where listed comps are being sold off. A quarter of Dax comps trading below their book value, meaning there is something for free, incl banks, cars & utilities. This is driven by the country's overwhelmingly negative market sentiment. The first bargain hunters are already on their way. Unicredit wants to take over Commerzbank.

BREAKING: In a stunningly senile moment, Donald Trump forgets that Tim Walz is running for Vice President, and that he isn’t currently the Vice President. It’s clear Donald Trump is too old to run for President. Retweet so all Americans see this.

“America has an innovation and incumbency problem” via @FT “this week’s news cycle has been dominated by the dispute around whether Haitian immigrants are eating American pets in Ohio. Vital policy issues are being ignored.” https://t.co/vtw5ZMy7lD

“The kleptocrats aren’t just stealing money. They’re stealing democracy” via @FT “You have bad roads and bad healthcare, Navalny told Russians, because they have vineyards, helicopter pads and oyster farms.” https://t.co/9e1S3Gxdzr

@rshereme @JStijns WTF?

[Jean-Philippe Stijns 🇪🇺 @jpstijns]

@Slevenrand @RnaudBertrand @daveg Thanks for this enlightened explanation about how fascism comes to power: through the normalization of extreme views to the point where non-fascist views become considered extreme.

“Kamala Harris’s cost-of-living plan will end in failure” https://t.co/yDHKYkf6QB from @TheEconomist But you’ll never read an equally detailed indictment of Trump’s policies. God forbids that it’s not only the Democrats’ plans that are the object of highly critical headlines…

[Jean-Philippe Stijns 🇪🇺 @jpstijns]

“Kamala Harris should distance herself from Bidenomics” via @FT “[According to Democrats,] defeating Trump is an existential matter for America but Bidenomics, which voters greatly dislike, is sacrosanct. The burden falls on Harris to halve that sentence.” https://t.co/DElFSE7CTO

[Not Real Donald Trump @RealDonalDrumpf]

I told Shady Vance that I was very angry that he had made Jeffrey Epstein trend again on X. He asked me why. I said, "Buckle Up, Buttercup (*his Drag Name) and I'll give you THIRTY-TWO reasons why!"🧵
