Trump Attacks Kamala Harris and ‘The View’ Hosts in Misogynistic Tirade

Former President Donald Trump recently criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the hosts of ABC’s ‘The View,’ labeling them with derogatory terms such as ‘dummy’ and ‘dumb women.’ His comments, made via Truth Social, included a rebuke of Harris’ assertion that she would not have acted differently than President Biden during his term, which he deemed her ‘dumbest answer so far.’ This tirade is particularly striking given Trump’s recent attempts to appeal to female voters, a demographic in which Harris currently enjoys stronger support.

Trump’s history of making disparaging remarks about women, especially those who oppose him, contradicts his claims of being a champion for women’s rights. Despite proclaiming his dedication to the well-being of women during campaign rallies, his aggressive rhetoric towards female critics reveals a pattern of misogyny that undermines his political narrative. This behavior is consistent with his past, where he has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and has been found liable for sexual abuse in a civil court.

Whoopi Goldberg responded to Donald Trump’s derogatory remarks regarding her and her fellow co-hosts on ‘The View,’ which he labeled as ‘dumb’ and criticized Goldberg’s comedy as ‘filthy dirty.’ During a Pennsylvania rally, Trump expressed that he would never hire Goldberg again, despite having done so four times in the past. In a spirited comeback, Goldberg highlighted this contradiction, questioning Trump’s intelligence by stating, ‘Are you dumb? You hired me four times.’

Goldberg’s rebuttal came after she and her co-hosts staged a walkout on the show to Christina Aguilera’s song ‘Dirrty,’ a direct nod to Trump’s insults. She pointed out that Trump was aware of her comedic style before hiring her, reinforcing her stance on the matter. Goldberg’s comments aimed to remind viewers of Trump’s history of engaging with them, despite his current criticisms.

Co-host Sunny Hostin also chimed in, thanking Trump for his constant stream of material for their discussions, implying that his actions have inadvertently provided content for their show. Hostin remarked on the irony of Trump’s attention to ‘The View’ while significant issues, such as natural disasters, persist in the country.

Goldberg further criticized Trump for focusing on her and her co-hosts rather than addressing pressing national concerns, including the aftermath of Hurricane Milton in Florida. She emphasized that Trump’s irritation with the show’s hosts revealed his viewership, contradicting his claims of disinterest.

Goldberg’s response serves as a reminder of the ongoing tensions between Trump and various public figures, particularly those in the entertainment industry who challenge his narrative. This exchange also underscores the broader cultural conversations surrounding media, celebrity, and political discourse.

Trump Calls On FCC To Revoke CBS’ Broadcast License, From The Authoritarian Playbook

Donald Trump is calling on the FCC to revoke the license of CBS after 60 Minutes was found to have (dun dun dun) edited down one of Kamala Harris’ answers for time, something that happens quite regularly when Trump runs to his safe space Fox News.

The FCC obviously pushed back, but the people leading the FCC now pointing out Trump’s wishes obviously is anti-constitutional, will not be there once Donald Trump retakes power.

As I’ve said before, the First Amendment is a cornerstone of our democracy. The FCC does not and will not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage. – FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel

In the authoritarian playbook, clamping down on independent media will happen quick and we’ll never get it back. Recall when Hugo Chavez in Venezuela sent forces to take over independent private news agencies and brought them back online as propaganda outlets.

It wasn’t that long ago that the last independent news agency in Hungry was kicked off the air when Viktor Orban revoked all broadcast licenses of a free and open press, and now all Hungry has is pro-Orban propaganda outlets. Orban was recently a featured speaker at CPAC, the largest gathering of conservatives, on how to successfully import authoritarianism in a Western democracy.

So far Trump has previously threatened the broadcast licenses of ABC, NBC, PBS, NPR and simply for reporting on the things he says and does. And now Trump is threatening CBS because he ducked out of 60 Minutes like the pussybitch he is because they wouldn’t agree to not fact check him.

It will happen here. If not with Trump, then the next Republican because the authoritarian model has been fully adopted by the GOP.

Trump Declines Fox News Debate Invitation Against Kamala Harris

Former President Donald Trump has declined an invitation from Fox News to participate in a debate against Vice President Kamala Harris. The proposed debate was scheduled to take place in Pennsylvania on either October 24 or October 27, with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum serving as moderators.

In a call to Fox & Friends last month, Trump expressed ambivalence about facing Harris again but indicated that he would consider it if a Fox host who often praises him were to moderate. However, after Fox News officially extended the debate invitation, Trump took to Truth Social to declare himself the victor of their previous debates, asserting he would not engage with Harris again.

Trump’s all-caps message emphasized his belief that he had decisively won the last two debates, both against Harris and President Joe Biden. He claimed he accepted a prior invitation to debate Harris on September 4, which she allegedly declined.

In his statement, Trump dismissed the notion of a rematch, arguing that Harris’s recent comments indicated she would not diverge from Biden’s policies, thereby rendering the debate unnecessary. He also claimed to be leading in polls, suggesting an increasing advantage over his competitors.

Despite Trump’s assertions, Harris had a strong performance in their previous debate, contrasting with Trump’s continued spread of misinformation regarding various topics, including immigration.

Trump Makes Unfounded Accusations Against CBS’s ’60 Minutes’

Former President Donald Trump made unfounded allegations against CBS’s “60 Minutes” following an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. He claimed that the program manipulated the interview footage to portray Harris in a more favorable light, describing the editing as deceptive and possibly illegal. Trump’s statements were posted on his Truth Social platform, where he expressed outrage at what he termed a significant breach of journalistic integrity.

In his post, Trump asserted that the editing of Harris’s responses was so extensive that it rendered her answers incoherent. He claimed this editing effort was aimed at enhancing her public image, labeling it as a violation of campaign finance laws. Trump called for an immediate investigation into the matter and demanded a public apology from CBS, declaring the situation a stain on the network’s reputation.

However, Trump is lying as the complete interview with Harris can be viewed on YouTube, where she articulates her responses clearly without any noticeable edits. Trump’s accusations seem to lack substantial evidence, raising doubts about their credibility.

Additionally, it’s noteworthy that Trump had declined to participate in an interview with “60 Minutes” the previous week, reportedly out of concern that the program would fact-check his controversial statements, including misleading claims regarding Haitian immigrants.

These developments highlight Trump’s ongoing pattern of attacking media outlets and spreading misinformation, a strategy that has characterized his public discourse and political approach since his presidency.

 

Donald Trump Claims Some Races Have ‘Murder Gene’ in Eugenics Rant

In a recent interview on The Hugh Hewitt radio show, Donald Trump made controversial claims suggesting that certain migrants possess “bad genes” that predispose them to violence and murder. He asserted that there are numerous criminals entering the U.S. due to lax immigration policies, specifically targeting Vice President Kamala Harris’s approach to immigration.

Trump’s comments included a sweeping accusation that Harris is responsible for allowing individuals with violent tendencies into the country, stating, “How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murders, many of them murdered far more than one person.” He went on to state, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” implying a genetic basis for criminal behavior.

This rhetoric aligns with Trump’s previous remarks associating genetics with racial superiority. During his 2020 campaign, Trump suggested that he and his supporters had “good genes,” indicating a belief that genetics play a role in societal issues like crime and immigration. Such comments have drawn parallels to eugenics ideologies, which have historically been associated with racism and discrimination.

The backlash against Trump’s statements has been significant, with many social commentators and political opponents denouncing his views as dangerous and unfounded. Experts in genetics and social sciences have criticized the notion that criminality can be linked to genetics, emphasizing the role of socio-economic factors and systemic issues.

Trump’s remarks not only reflect his ongoing campaign strategy that includes targeting immigrant populations but also highlight a broader trend within certain political circles that seek to frame immigration issues through a lens of racial and genetic determinism. Such assertions raise concerns about the potential for increased stigmatization of minority groups and the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes.

 

Republicans Emphasize Anti-Transgender Messaging in Election Campaigns

In the lead-up to the election, Donald Trump and Republican candidates are focusing heavily on transgender issues as part of their campaign strategy. With approximately four weeks remaining until voting, they are targeting fears regarding transgender women and girls participating in sports and taxpayer-funded gender transition procedures in prisons.

Since early August, the Republican Party has invested over $65 million in television advertisements across numerous states, with analysis from AdImpact highlighting the prevalence of these ads in competitive races. This strategic move is intended to inflame cultural tensions and position Democratic candidates as out of touch with mainstream values.

Republican strategists are revisiting messaging that had limited success in the 2022 midterms, aiming to energize their base while simultaneously appealing to female voters who may feel alienated by the party’s abortion stance. Trump’s campaign ads prominently feature slogans that juxtapose his positions against those of Democrats, specifically targeting Vice President Kamala Harris.

In Ohio, for instance, ads from the leading Republican Senate super PAC consistently address transgender issues, framing Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown as permissive of transgender participation in women’s sports. This tactic seeks to exploit vulnerabilities in Brown’s incumbency as he represents one of the most at-risk Democratic seats.

The Republican approach reflects a calculated effort to leverage social issues as a means of galvanizing support, suggesting a belief that anti-transgender rhetoric could resonate with voters and bolster their electoral prospects in 2024.

 

Trump Sent COVID Tests to Putin During 2020 Shortage, New Book Reveals

A new book by Bob Woodward, titled “War,” reveals that during the COVID-19 testing shortage in 2020, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent COVID-19 tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use. Amidst a global pandemic, Putin, who was concerned about the virus, accepted the tests but requested that Trump keep the operation confidential to avoid political backlash in the U.S.

According to the book, Putin cautioned Trump, saying, “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me.” This incident highlights the ongoing relationship between Trump and Putin, which has persisted even as Trump campaigns for the presidency in 2024 while Putin continues his aggressive actions in Ukraine.

Woodward’s account indicates that Trump has maintained contact with Putin since leaving office, with reported conversations occurring as many as seven times. The book paints Trump as potentially more reckless than Nixon, suggesting that his actions pose significant risks to U.S. interests and international stability.

In response to the revelations, a Trump campaign spokesman dismissed Woodward’s claims as fabricated, criticizing the author and questioning the credibility of the book. Despite these denials, the narrative presented in “War” depicts Trump as unfit for presidential office, contrasting him with President Joe Biden, who is portrayed as exhibiting steady leadership amidst ongoing international conflicts.

Woodward’s book is set to be released on October 15, 2023, and explores the ramifications of Trump’s foreign policy decisions while he was in office, particularly regarding relations with Putin and the implications for U.S. national security. It also delves into Biden’s handling of foreign crises, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, providing insights into the complexities and challenges faced by the current administration.

 

Trump Falsely Claims to Have Visited Gaza, No Evidence Found

Donald Trump claimed during a recent radio interview that he had visited Gaza, a statement for which there is no documented evidence. This assertion was made while discussing the anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks, an event linked to Hamas, the governing authority in Gaza.

When prompted for clarification, a Trump campaign aide noted that Gaza is located within Israel, implying that Trump’s travels to Israel could include Gaza. However, this interpretation is misleading as Gaza is a separate territory and has never been part of Israel since its withdrawal in 2005.

Trump’s previous travels to the region, including a visit to Israel in 2017, did not include Gaza. Instead, he traveled to the West Bank, which is approximately 20 miles from Gaza, to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

During the interview, the host Hugh Hewitt posed a hypothetical question regarding the potential for Gaza to be rebuilt into a prosperous area akin to Monaco, reflecting on the extensive destruction in the region due to ongoing conflicts.

Fact-Checking Trump’s Misleading Claims at Butler Rally

During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump made several claims regarding immigration, the economy, and Hurricane Helene that were fact-checked for accuracy. Trump stated that illegal immigration was at its lowest when he left office, citing a chart with misleading data. In reality, his presidency ended in January 2021, and the low numbers he referenced in April 2020 were influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.

Trump also misrepresented the federal response to Hurricane Helene, stating that victims would receive only $750 in aid. This amount is from FEMA’s Serious Needs Assistance program, which covers immediate needs and is not the total aid provided. As of October 4, FEMA had disbursed over $45 million for recovery efforts.

Additionally, Trump claimed that 13,099 murderers were allowed into the U.S. during the Biden administration, a misleading statistic that does not specify when these individuals entered the country. The figure refers to noncitizens with homicide convictions over a 40-year span and does not imply a direct correlation to current immigration policies.

On economic claims, Trump asserted that his administration achieved the greatest economy in history, but data shows that while unemployment dropped, GDP growth was lower than in previous administrations. Other economic indicators such as wages and business investment also contradict his assertion.

Lastly, Trump inaccurately claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris was tasked with managing border security. Her role is focused on addressing the root causes of migration rather than direct control over border enforcement, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security.

 

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Did Not Endorse Donald Trump

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has not endorsed Donald Trump for president, directly contradicting claims made by the former president. Rumors surfaced online, particularly on Truth Social, where Trump asserted that Dimon had thrown his support behind him. However, a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase confirmed that these assertions are inaccurate, clarifying that Dimon has not made any endorsements in the current presidential race.

In a recent interview, Dimon explicitly stated, “I’m not endorsing anyone at this time,” emphasizing his focus on policy issues rather than political endorsements. This aligns with previous reports indicating that Dimon had supported Trump’s GOP primary rival, Nikki Haley, as he sought to rally other business leaders behind her candidacy.

Trump then laughably denied any knowledge of his own post

Despite the false claims of Dimon’s endorsement circulating on social media, it is evident that he has maintained a position of non-partisanship in this election cycle. The misinformation has been propagated by various users on platforms like X, amplifying Trump’s false narrative.

Furthermore, while Trump has previously mentioned considering Dimon for a Treasury Secretary position should he regain the presidency, he later retracted those comments, suggesting uncertainty about the origins of such reports. This inconsistency highlights the ongoing pattern of misleading statements from Trump regarding endorsements and support.

Ultimately, Jamie Dimon’s stance remains clear: he has not endorsed Donald Trump, and the claims made by Trump are unfounded. This incident underscores the need for accurate reporting and fact-checking in the political discourse surrounding the upcoming presidential election.
