That’s cool, but isn’t that exactly what they’ve been saying they’ll do, publicly? Not sure why you need a “sting” to get someone to “confess” something that’s right in the name. It’s their friggin’ raison d’etre!
Trump has been trying to deny he has anything to do with them. Of course that is a lie but his saying such, that Trump has been directly involved, working with them, may help convince some who might otherwise accept Trumps lies. May not of course.
Never mind.
“The Daily Show” had a story about Trump and Project 2025 just last night.
Maybe he just forgot.
Covered in the thread actually about Project 2025:
Article in Scientific American, bringing a psychology analysis to what the authors say is a cult of personality for Trump. I don’t know enough to judge it.
Trump’s denial of a light crowd at his PA rally seems pretty unhinged:
Rasmussen, which is known for its rightward skew and which Lyin’ Cryin’ Donald often holds up as proof that he’s “winning by a lot”, is showing alarmingly good numbers for Harris in battleground states.
Okay, so there are reports/claims (not sure their origin, whether from anonymous sources or even Trump himself) that Trump has been in contact with Netenyahu to urge him to not accept any ceasefire until after the election. If this is confirmed, is this a big deal or not?
How did you come to learn of them?
EDIT: Never mind, this is starting to make mainstream news now:
Apparently, Axios broke this LAST WEEK, but it didn’t get legs until today.
News stories talking about it like this one.
It’s hard to say. Certainly anyone holding out on voting for Harris on account of her stance on Israel and Palestine should reconsider. It so hard to figure out if something is going to hurt Trump when his base doesn’t seem to care about any malfeasance on his part.
Right, but as the links above mention, there’s also breathless speculation of it being criminal, which I’m obviously skeptical would ever come to anything, but I was hoping to be wrong!
Gotcha. They cite Axios’ anonymous sources.
I’m not sure what to make of Axios – I’ve never really viewed them as 100% legit. Maybe 75% legit. Not The Daily Mail, but not BBC World Service, either.
In any case, more established news services have apparently been working on corroboration in the meantime … and now feel comfortable enough to report. Reuters had it last week as well.
(I had completely forgotten that Netanyahu visited Mar A Lago when he was in the U.S. last month. Not that it was kept secret, but too little was made of it in the moment)
If true, it would be a violation of the Logan Act, which “criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen.”
Yet more shades of 1968:
When a Candidate Conspired With a Foreign Power to Win An Election
It took decades to unravel Nixon’s sabotage of Vietnam peace talks. Now, the full story can be told.
Too bad we’ll be at least ten months behind on repeating Apollo 8:
Trump on Truth Social today:
Trump’s come up with an economic plan! Nah, just kidding. It’s his new crypto scheme.
Trump promotes family’s new crypto platform, ‘The Defiant Ones’ (cnbc.com)
From the “minds” of Eric and Jr. Always be grifting.
And way late on this one. If they wanted some of that sweet, sweet crypto grift they should have been trying that about 4 or 5 years ago.
On the other hand, I do know that Trump released those NFT cards, last year I think it was? Maybe MAGA does have some pennies still rattling around that the trumps can pickpocket them for.
Don’t forget that in the attempt to appeal to incels and other angry young men, Trump has been partnering up with known crypto grifters and scammers.
Logan Paul is one example.
Among other things, his CryptoZoo scam has gotten him in hot water.
And going back further, you have these guys:
And they are known for NFT scams.
I could go on, but Trump has really found common ground with these folks, and I’m sure that he wants in on that action.
And no, crypto grifting is not an artifact of the late 2010s. It’s still alive and well today.
