Donald J. Trump 2024

[raison de arizona]

If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.

Unbelievable! Univision, the biggest Spanish-language broadcaster in the U.S., has chosen to halt the Biden campaign's advertising in key states like Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Florida. This follows a meeting last week between Trump and the network's.

In the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump’s campaign harshly criticized Univision, the most prominent Spanish-language network in the nation, branding it as a leftist propaganda tool and an extension of the Democratic Party.

This stance represented a combative approach towards the media outlet, with the campaign promising to treat it accordingly. However, by 2023, a notable shift occurred in this relationship.

Following the acquisition of Univision by Grupo Televisa, a Mexican media company, Trump’s interactions with the network changed dramatically. He hosted Univision executives at Mar-a-Lago for an interview, notable for its cordial tone, indicating a stark reversal from the previous antagonistic stance.

("New") 538's guesses as to who will win his veepstakes:

Tim Scott; Kari Lake; Kristi Noem; Elise Stefanik; Nikki Haley; Marsha Blackburn; Marjorie Greene; or Sarah Sanders.

My personal guess is Noem.

Ivanka

He wants to spend more private time with her

[p0rtia]

Those last three are joke entries, right? RIGHT???

[Slim Cognito]

Yeah, like Haley has a chance. She's "disloyal."

[bob]

Those last three are joke entries, right? RIGHT???

They're real, serious guesses.

538's thought exercise was artificial in that its parameters required it to have eight names; in other words, it was running out of names.

[Gregg]

EmptyGee for the win.

Trump today at the TX State patrol officers Thanksgiving luncheon: “The food looked very good. I wanted to have some but they didn’t have any for me. They had none left. That’s not good. That’s my kind of food too.”

WTAF?

Assuming this is an accurate quote, can you imagine the howls if Biden said something like that?

His kind of food? So they had burned leathery steaks slathered in ketchup?

Trump receives endorsement from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott at border as both Republicans outline hardline immigration agenda

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-to-c ... -promises/

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday received the endorsement of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for his 2024 presidential bid at a campaign event near the U.S.-Mexico border, a region that has played a pivotal role in the political careers of both Republicans.

Abbott, another fierce critic of President Biden's immigration policies, gave Trump an effusive endorsement in Edinburg, a small city in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, one of the busiest sectors for unlawful border crossings, and an area where Republicans have made inroads with its predominantly Hispanic communities in recent years.

After serving meals to Texas National Guard members and troopers involved in the state's border security initiative, known as Operation Lone Star, Trump and Abbott embraced each other on a stage set up in front of Texas law enforcement helicopters, a plane and an armored vehicle.

"We need a president who's going to secure the border," Abbott said.

In recent weeks, Trump has escalated his harsh rhetoric on immigration and the scope of his promises on the issue, which some of his advisers believe partially catapulted him to victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016. In one recent interview, he claimed that migrants were "poisoning the blood of our country."

Trump's mother was an immigrant. So Trump has poison blood?

Rolling Stone: Trump Serves Food to Soldiers and Police, Complains There’s None Left for Him:

"The food looked very good. I wanted to have some, but they didn’t have any for me," the former president said

Former president Donald Trump tried to do a charitable thing Sunday, handing out food to Texas National Guard soldiers, troopers, and others who will be working at the border during Thanksgiving. But he then complained that there wasn’t enough food left for him.

“The food looked very good. I wanted to have some, but they didn’t have any for me. They had none left. That’s not good. That’s my kind of food too,” Trump said, drawing some chuckles from the crowd.

Trump was in Texas to endorse Gov. Greg Abbott for reelection.

To be fair, Biden (like Obama before him) sometimes makes joke that, if taken literally, would be shocking (if true). So: context.

In this instance, Biden would probably have sat down at a table and ate food with these service personnel.

Remember, tfg thinks those who volunteer for service are "losers'.

[Suranis]

Ya, the only reason there was no food for him at the table is that he is too Vain to sit down with fellow human beings.

There’s a “real” possibility Trump could ask Tucker Carlson to be is running mate, but there’s one problem- Trump’s ego, of course.

Maggie Haberman: “It’s a real thing that I am hearing as a possibility. The risk with Tucker Carlson and Trump is that Tucker Carlson’s a very big star in his own right, and I’m not sure how Trump would contend with that.”

[Slim Cognito]

He might toy around with the idea to get what he wants from Carlson, but he'll never allow another big personality a chance to outshine his parade.

[raison de arizona]

Doctor's note. He'll live to 300.
