LOCAL MEDIA TRASHES TRUMP AFTER CAMPAIGN DISASTERS IN MICHIGAN AND WISCONSIN
JASON EASLEY DONALD TRUMP, TOP NEWS SAT, MAY 4TH, 2024

"SNIP............
Local media, which was a source that Trump used to be able to count on for good coverage had fact checks and damaging headlines after the ex-president tried to campaign in Michigan and Wisconsin.
............
In Michigan, Trump got fact-checked for falsely claiming that the state has lost manufacturing jobs under Biden, Just a little bit of some information, some fact checking. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, our state, Michigan, actually gained 24,000 manufacturing jobs between January of 2021 and May of last year. Thats actually tied for seventh in the country. And so this notion that the auto industry in Detroit is falling apart
may not be as on point as [Trump] would like.
............
When Trump tries to campaign, it is a disaster. He has reverted back to complaining that the 2020 election was stolen from him, while ranting and raving about his current legal troubles, and making things up about the state of the nation under President Biden.
Trump has nothing to run on and no reason to be running, except for a desire to avoid prosecution and potential incarceration.

He doesn't mention making the country fascist. Tax cuts for the rich extended. Making abortion illegal. Detention camps for undocumented. He has no policy to help the average American and grow the middle class. He didn't mention these things because why would people in Michigan and Wisconson want those things?

I can't wait for them day someone mentions his name, and we all need to go to our web browser and type; "is T*×%p even still alive"?

(9,005 posts)A few DUers posted he tore into to her. After about 5 minutes of her smug faced bullshit I had to turn it off. I did not make it to where he made much effort alt all to counter her. After those 5 mins of the pure hell she said we are currently in, I thought, maybe Trump IS the best option. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
So, I am back to avoiding his shit show. Surprised she did not have a couch on set to take off her shoes and make herself at home, like while in Our White House. God I hate that clown.

Traildogbob
(9,005 posts)Is dead broke from the price of eggs and gas, and Biden taking all her gas appliance away, and her showers only drip and it takes eleven flushes to flush her shit. But that makes no sense, all the shit she spews from her mouth, there should not be that much getting to the toilet.
And George lives in reality, enjoying life under Joe, plus he gotta be happy as hell to shed her ass.

democrank
(11,120 posts)but saying Trumps words may not be as on point doesnt sound very harsh.
My take is that our feckless media has, for the most part, given Trump a pass. Trump is hardly just an equal half of a Republican/Democratic race for president, hes a clear and present danger to mankind.

(36,511 posts)Since many people don't vote .
In 2020, about 66% of adults who were eligible to vote actually did so.
So you could argue that about 1/3 of adults in this country prefer Trump over Biden. And the percentage of adults who absolutely adore Trump is probably much lower then 33%.

(48,110 posts)27% sounds more realistic. There are a lot of people who don't have much of an opinion whatsoever and rarely follow politics. Even if they do have an opinion, many can't be bothered to vote and probably never have.

(54,740 posts)His policy seems to consist mostly of I wanna be president again.
Its an easy concept to grasp, and it appeals to people who are long on anger while being short on depth.
I find it unsettling, however, that an argument of a level that smacks of a third grade recess playground dispute should be the debating ground for deciding our nations presidency.
