Trump's Troubles

chemgator · Oct 31, 2024

Another nail in Trump's coffin. Biden & Harris apparently achieved a rare soft landing for the economy, with the inflation coming down and not causing a recession. Usually, the economy comes down from high inflation with a hard landing. The high inflation was caused by Covid containment spending. Combined with an excellent jobs report from September, there really is no economic reason to vote for Hitler--er, I mean Trump.

WashingtonCNN —
The US economy seems to have pulled off a remarkable and historic achievement. Yet with just days to go before the presidential election, the majority of voters say they remain displeased with the state of the economy.

Gross domestic product, which measures all the goods and services produced in the economy, expanded at an annualized rate of 2.8% in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That’s a slightly weaker pace than the second quarter’s 3% rate and above the 2.6% rate economists projected in a FactSet poll. GDP is adjusted for seasonal swings and inflation.

Wednesday’s report comes after earlier data showed the economy added a whopping 254,000 jobs in September, inflation is a whisper away from the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and consumer confidence jumped this month by the fastest clip since March 2021, according to The Conference Board — all signs of a robust economy.

“I think we should declare a soft landing now,” said James Bullard, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, in an interview with CNN earlier this month.

Trump's own polling organization suggests that things are looking bad for him at this point. MAGAts need to brace for the worst. Sad for him. Great day for the U.S.

Trump Gets Shocking News From Double Whammy of Poll Results

Just days out from Election Day, Donald Trump still doesn’t have the votes to reclaim the White House—at least, that’s according to data reportedly obtained by his campaign.

During a CNN roundtable Wednesday night, Republican strategist Margaret Hoover claimed that internal polling from inside the Trump campaign suggested that despite a reported early groundswell of support, the campaign’s lackluster polling results are “giving them pause.”

“I have heard from Republicans that there is concern at the Trump campaign amongst the operatives that actually really do know the political wherewithal, the turnout and enthusiasm numbers aren’t where they need to be,” Hoover said.

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are practically neck and neck in their polling across seven battleground states, with both candidates juggling marginal, low-single-digit leads that are falling within the pollsters’ margins of error.

Members of the Trump organization are encouraged to look at their own internal organs for the source of Trump's miserable poll results. (Trump's own poll organization is claiming a "groundswell" of support for Harris.) Otherwise, it's Trump's fault for being a poor candidate. Time to fire the polling personnel and get new ones.

Trump is claiming his poor poll results are due to "shrinkage" because he just got out of the pool.

"There's a real groundswell": GOP strategist says internal polls are "concerning" for Trump campaign

Long-time GOP strategist Margaret Hoover claimed former President Donald Trump's campaign could be scrambling due to concerning internal polling and early voting data, which she says may suggest missed turnout targets.

In a Wednesday evening panel on "The Source" hosted by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, the GOP campaign strategist wondered whether the campaign’s own detailed internals were spelling doom.

“I think if you’re the Trump campaign, you’re not looking at CNN’s numbers, you’re looking at your own internals,” Hoover said. “And I honestly think their internals are actually giving them pause.”

Hoover noted that campaigns have the resources for more sophisticated polling operations than media outlets, but trends like turnout and enthusiasm were already easy to glimpse.

Cal-State Fullerton retired prof's computer model claims that Trump will win the election by 271-267 electoral votes. The last time it was wrong was in 2016, when it predicted that Hillary would win. Civilization needs to hope that the model is wrong once again, and Little Hitler stays away from the White House, and spends his next four years in the Big House, where he belongs.

Who will win the U.S. presidential election? This California professor says he knows

A retired Cal State Fullerton professor’s math model is predicting that Donald Trump will win the presidency next week.

The model, from Professor Emeritus Chandrasekhar Putcha “uses engineering principles based on probability and statistics to analyze polling data from various well-known sources,” according to a Cal State Fullerton press release.

“If the polling is correct, the mathematical model should accurately predict the outcome of the presidential election,” Putcha said in a statement.

The model predicts that Trump will win 47.95% of the popular vote and 271 electoral college votes. It takes 270 to win.

Trump is suing CBS for editing Kamala's interview for time. Of course he files in that one wacko judge kangaroo court in Amarillo. He should be jailed just for a lifetime history of nonsense lawsuits.

'Obscene' Giant Donald Trump Statue in Pennsylvania Angers GOP: 'Appalling'

As reported by Newsweek, the statue of Trump appeared in Philadelphia earlier this week at Maja Park on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The statue appears to show Trump leering at a nude statue at the park. It appeared along with a plaque titled "In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault" at the base. The plaque includes comments from Trump's Access Hollywood tape, published in October 2016, in which he made lewd comments about women with host Billy Bush.

The sculpture depicts the former president as a marionette, suspended by a crane and has drawn significant attention and backlash from the GOP, who view it as a provocative and inappropriate portrayal of Trump. Fenerty, who has himself been at the center of sex scandals, said officers had told him that due to the statue's graphic nature, police asked for it to be disassembled, despite the space having been rented for 24 hours by the artists, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
...........................

An identical statue has been seen in Detroit, Nevada and Portland, Oregon, where it was beheaded soon after it was erected. An anonymous spokesperson for the unnamed artist behind the statues has said that the massive sculpture was called Crooked and Obscene. As previously reported, The Wrap said that the effigy will travel the U.S. as part of a Crooked and Obscene Tour.

The report quoted the tour's unnamed organizers, who said that portraying Trump nude was "intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures," and that they wanted viewers to think about "transparency—or lack thereof—in politics, challenging viewers to think critically about political influence."

LeBron James not only endorsed Harris, he did it in a powerful and very well produced video that buries Trump. Oh, and add Arnold Schwarzenegger to that list. Plus pretty much Puerto Rican alive.

Trump's best hope of winning a battleground state may have just gone up in smoke. Pennsylvania had a record early turnout, and it's mostly women, which is one of Trump's worst demographics outside of black people, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and rape victims.

Team Trump Is Losing Their Minds Over Stunning Early Voting Numbers

Donald Trump’s campaign may have been riding high in a garbage truck earlier this week, but the latest numbers out of Pennsylvania have them feeling pretty trashed.

In Pennsylvania, more than 100,000 new voters have already cast their ballots ahead of Election Day on November 5, dwarfing the 80,000 vote margin by which Joe Biden beat Trump in 2020, according to NBC News.

That means that if everyone who voted in 2020 cast their ballots the same way this year, this group of new voters would decide the race. Unfortunately for Trump, this group is dominated by female registered Democrats, who are likely to split for Kamala Harris.

Nearly 62 million early votes had already been cast nationwide as of Thursday evening, with 54 percent of ballots having been cast by women and 44 percent cast by men, according to Newsweek. Early voting in Pennsylvania mirrors that trend.*

Harris has been declared the winner in Pennsylvania. Since it is apparently a fact that all swing states go for the same candidate, I assume we can declare Harris the next President of the United States. Congratulations, President Kamala Harris. Nice work.

Some of you may doubt this, but let me just say this: it's literally ON T.V., therefore you have to believe it.

TV station accidentally declares Kamala Harris has won election in Pennsylvania

An ABC News station mistakenly declared that Kamala Harris had won the battleground state of Pennsylvania days before election day.

WNEP-TV, an ABC affiliate in Scranton, Pennsylvania, broadcast that Ms Harris had won 52 per cent of the votes to Donald Trump’s 47 per cent on Sunday during a Formula One race.

The station explained that the message had been mistakenly aired while testing its equipment ahead of polling day, but the blunder has fuelled conspiracy theories that the election is being rigged.

The “result” flashed up on TV screens on Sunday during the Mexico City Grand Prix, showing that Ms Harris had taken 3,293,712 votes to Trump’s 2,997,793 with 100 per cent of precincts reporting.

One commentator claims that this photo proves that Trump is running to become union boss of the Oompa-Loompas. He just needs to dye his hair green.

'We Did Not Enhance That': Jimmy Fallon Taken Aback By New Pic Of Trump

The Republican nominee had dressed up as a worker for a photo op aboard a Trump campaign-branded garbage truck, in a swipe at President Joe Biden’s gaffe about Trump supporters earlier this week.

“That’s real, that,” Fallon added of the image. “He looks like the Oompa Loompas’ union boss.”

Hans Solo endorses Harris, says we need to listen to all of Trump's generals and the rest of his inner circle from his last administration.

Harrison Ford makes presidential endorsement days before 2024 election

“When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying, ‘for God’s sake, don’t do this again,’ you have to pay attention,” Ford said in the dramatic black-and-white clip.

“They’re telling us something important. These aren’t soft people. They’re governors, generals, standing up against the leader of the party they spent their lives advocating for.”

The 82-year-old continued: “For many of them, this will be the first time they’ve ever voted for someone who doesn’t have an R next to their name. Because they know this really matters.”

Ford then compared Harris directly with Trump. “Kamala Harris will protect your right to disagree with her about policies or ideas, and then, as we have done for centuries, we’ll debate them, we’ll work on them together, and we’ll move forward. The other guy – he demands unquestioning loyalty. Says he wants revenge.”

Trump is orange-faced with fury at the news that he is polling second in Iowa, a state he was once favored to win. Iowans may have gotten wise to the damage he did to them with his tariff wars with China. China retaliated by putting large tariffs on agricultural products from the U.S., causing Trump to have to bail out U.S. farmers.

Rattled Trump Rages After Shock Iowa Poll Favors Harris: ‘Trump Hater’

Last minute polling out of Iowa appears to have rattled Donald Trump, who was initially projected to win the deep-red Hawkeye State.

The GOP presidential nominee slammed unfavorable numbers for his campaign released Saturday and accused the pollster Ann Selzer, who is regarded as being highly accurate with last-minute polling in Iowa, of being a “Trump hater.”

“No President has done more for FARMERS, and the Great State of Iowa, than Donald J. Trump. In fact, it’s not even close! All polls, except for one heavily skewed toward the Democrats by a Trump hater who called it totally wrong the last time, have me up, BY A LOT,” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday. “I LOVE THE FARMERS, AND THEY LOVE ME.”

Trump’s online rant comes after the nationally respected poll by The Des Moines Register/Mediacom reported Kamala Harris leading the former president 47 percent to 44 percent.

Not that it will have much impact as i think all of trump’s foibles unAmericanism and anti Constitutional behavior is already baked into his vote but FWIW.

the fact that this man is actually on the ticket is a stain on the USA

‘He lies without limit’: New York Times shares searing 112-word warning against Trump winning election

The New York Times’s editorial board has issued a strongly-worded denunciation of Donald Trump as the presidential election looms, telling readers the Republican nominee “is unfit to lead” and a serial liar whose policies are “cruel” and will only “wreak havoc” on the nation.

Without explicitly endorsing his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in the piece, the board wrote a searing 112-word op-ed warning of a possible Trump second term.

“You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead. Watch him. Listen to those who know him best,” it reads. “He tried to subvert an election and remains a threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible consequences.

“Mr Trump’s corruption and lawlessness go beyond elections: It’s his whole ethos. He lies without limit.”
