I went to the Schnecksville rally today to talk with Trump voters, because our biggest story isn't a wannabe dictator but the 74 million who want to live under one

I met people trapped inside a hopeless doom loop of disinformation. My instant column inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

“Things have changed a lot since I talked to folks outside of Trump’s 2016 rally in Chester County, when they were intrigued by Trump’s not-a-politician bluster and his ‘get-’em-out-of-here’ rage at liberal protesters. Eight years later, a Trump rally has become an Orwellian

4/This isn't the kind of thread where you can like the tweets-it's too awful, but please do retweet it. Trump posted this on Truth Social. People need to see this.

3/The important message Trump endorses about himself? 'He knows we're in a war' & 'he know how to win.'

Who is the enemy? It's us. You & me. It's Democrats. It's anyone who doesn't support Trump, anyone who is other. Believe him when he tells us who he is before it's too late.

2/GOP voters shouldn't care if he's a conservative, a role model for children, or modest & dignified--I suppose that's a good message because Trump is none of the things quite obviously.

The tone & pacing of the video carries an echo of WWII fascism that makes me feel queasy.

1/This is an utterly astonishing message for a candidate for the presidency to embrace. And, just a clue, it's not about virtues.

It starts with a command-even if you can't stand Trump, you must get behind him.

Has any candidate ever run like that? It gets worse.

It's seems impossible that within a week of taking your company public that:

• it launched at an $8B evaluation
• reported revenue at $4M year
• lost $60M in a year
• you're suing the co-founders
• arrests for insider trading
• connected to Russian money laundering

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus.

The sister of murder victim Ruby Garcia said she and her family were home watching live, in disbelief, as former President Donald Trump told an audience in Grand Rapids that he had spoken with “some of her family” -because it wasn’t true. woodtv.com/news/target-8/…

Trump’s social media company managed to go public last week only after it had been kept afloat in 2022 by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…

While Rick Scott was CEO of Columbia/HCA Hospital, he oversaw the biggest Medicare fraud in US history and was fined $1.7 billion, which was the largest healthcare fraud fine ever levied by the DOJ. Maybe don’t listen to this guy when it comes to protecting earned benefits.

This is huge reporting — Russians close to Putin loaned Trump Media cash to keep it alive, and are now benefitting significantly from its bizarrely high share price? And one of them has already been indicted for money laundering?
