President Trump

Excerpts from an interview with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance conducted with Fox News host Jesse Watters were released Saturday night, and Trump revealed some disturbing information: he was not warned that there was a risk despite the fact security forces were aware that his eventual wannabe assassin was on the scene and presented a threat.

With just four months until the presidential election, America has witnessed a would-be assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, and over 30 Congressional Democrats called on President Joe Biden to exit the 2024 race.

The renomination of Donald Trump makes him only the second president who could win nonconsecutive terms. This induces me to return to my annual attempt to explain to Canadian Trump-haters the sources of the present stark division in American politics. In 2015, Donald Trump was almost the only prominent American who detected the level of discontent in the lower half of American income earners. Donald Trump had been polling comprehensively across the United States for years. He saw the political implications of these figures and concluded that the bipartisan consensus in Washington was failing a steadily larger number of Americans.

On June 25, Bloomberg Businessweek conducted an interview with President Trump at his Florida estate, which just published this past Tuesday and highlighted a very important consideration for American voters as we head to the polls this November: the massive influx of migrants pouring into our nation are directly related the decreasing wages, and this is a reality negatively impacting black Americans more than any other group. Here’s what Trump said …

Trump is right as usual.

Former President Donald Trump took the stage in the final hour of the Republican National Convention Thursday and delivered a deeply heartfelt, and harrowing, address just days after he miraculously survived an assassin’s bullet — vowing to heal and unite the country.

The powerful speech, which he wrote after his terrifying near-death experience, was a departure from his usual bombastic and brazen rhetoric. He only referred to his political foe, President Biden, by name once — but avoided any of the sneering nicknames he has used to denounce the president in the past, such as “Crooked Joe.”

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin—It’s just before 4 p.m. and everyone at the Republican National Convention is jockeying for a glimpse of Senator J.D. Vance. A woman kicks off her bedazzled heels, then stands on her seat barefoot to get a better view. A delegate tells me he just borrowed a woman’s lipstick to scrawl “VANCE” in capital letters on a white Trump sign.

Everyone is craning their necks toward the Ohio delegation, where Vance is shaking hands, posing for selfies, and gleefully fist-bumping attendees who pull away with a bewildered look, as if they can’t believe they just crossed paths with the future vice president of the United States.

Donald Trump has chosen Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate, selecting a rising star in the party and previously outspoken Trump critic who in recent years has closely aligned himself with the former president.

Trump announced his pick Monday on Truth Social.

Over the years, my tastes have become increasingly more narrow and singular so that what was once a host of “favorites” has dwindled to a core two or maybe three. My all-time favorite television show is the first season of True Detective — it’s the only thing that I can watch over and over again from start to finish. I find it to be a beautiful celebration of a fading America, particularly the nation’s southern heritage, and a well of insights into the human psyche and soul, the triumph of good over evil, and the necessity of absolute morality in a progressively relativistic and nihilistic world.
