Before his colossal failures with COVID-19, Donny Trump used to brag about the economy & much of the media went along for the ride. However, was the economy really that good before the #TrumpDepression hit? Let’s look at the facts:

Some of us have long memories:
Republican spoiler-candidate precedents:
• Florida, 2020: Frank Artiles recruited a same-surname “ghost candidate” against Democrat José Javier Rodríguez. GOP won by 32 votes. Jury found Artiles guilty.
• Minnesota, 2020: Adam Weeks said in a recorded voicemail that Republicans recruited him to siphon votes from Angie Craig.
• Minnesota, 2020: Kevin Shores said an RNC-paid strategist recruited him to run under a cannabis-party banner. RNC denied involvement.
• Wisconsin, 2012: GOP openly recruited six Republicans to run as Democrats in recall primaries.
• Pennsylvania, 2006: Republican donors financed Green candidate Carl Romanelli’s ballot-access effort against Bob Casey.
• Presidential race, 2024: GOP operatives helped Cornel West get on ballots. New reporting traces funding through a Musk-linked network—not directly to Musk.

It is possible that the polls are wrong this cycle, and are generally overestimating Dem support. That's possible. But it's clear that the GOP internal polls look a lot like the public polls, because Trump was in MS this past Monday and will be rallying folks in LA next Monday.

Take this with a grain of salt, but someone who regularly visits Alcorn County (Trump +67 on the TN-MS border), says they’re seeing more Scott Colom signs than Cindy Hyde-Smith signs.
Could this point to an enthusiasm problem for Hyde-Smith?

Sen. @tedcruz in March: "I don't believe that what is happening in Iran will be front and center in November. If it extends that long, we've done something wildly wrong... The president said at the beginning this is going to be a matter of several weeks."

I’ve covered dozens if not hundreds of Trump rallies and I can’t recall him ever holding one in a room as small as this arena in Chillicothe, Ohio. It’ll be packed and loud- but maybe 1000 people will fit.

I once wrote a book about how the Democratic Party was the party of institutional racism from 1865 to 1965. If I were writing a book about the period since 1965, it would be about how the Republican Party replaced it as the party of institutional racism. nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…

Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

The Sept. U.S. trade deficit in goods was $134.9 billion, the highest ever recorded in Sept. There were only three months in history when the deficit was higher, all under Trump in 2025.
Here are the facts. Measured by the size of our trade deficits, Trump has been the worst president in history on trade. The tariffs have been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but the U.S. is now more dependent than ever on foreign producers. Not only are we importing more than ever, but we are now paying Trump's tariffs on those imports.
Trump says trade deficits represent a loss. Judged by his own standard, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the presidency. Also, if the economy is booming as Republicans claim, why have our trade deficits gone way up? Why are the trade deficits under Trump so much larger than they were under Biden, when, according to Trump, we had the worst economy in U.S. history?
Here are the facts. When you compare Trump's first two years to Biden's last two, GDP growth and job creation are slower, inflation is higher, and budget and trade deficits are bigger. If Trump is right that under Biden we had the worst economy in history, and the Trump economy is objectively worse on all counts, then the Trump economy is now the worst economy in history.

Trump establishes a cult of personality, goes senile, becomes gay, and now Republicans all have to become gay too.
Maybe it was always going to end up like this.

A couple days ago, I posted jobs numbers from the past 6 presidents, 3 Republican (Bush I, Bush II, and Trump) and 3 Democratic (Clinton, Obama, and Biden). Over 20 years, nearly 50 million jobs were added under the 3 Democratic presidents, whereas only 2 million have been added under the aforementioned Republicans, over the course of 17 years, 8 months. A good percentage of MAGA responders said something along the lines of, "The Democrat Party only added government jobs! Look at the private sector!"
Very well.
First, let's look at public sector or government jobs.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.127M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +1.934M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): +1.744M
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): -263k
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -575k
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +1.816M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): -230k
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +3.487M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): +2.066M
Difference: Democrats +1.421M/Republicans -1.421M
Not much difference. Now let's move onto the private sector.
George H.W. Bush (R, 4 years): +1.502M
Bill Clinton (D, 8 years): +20.979M
George W. Bush (R, 8 years): -368k
Barack Obama (D, 8 years): +11.812M
Donald Trump I (R, 4 years): -2.19M
Joe Biden (D, 4 years): +13.589M
Donald Trump II (R, 1 year, 8 months): +1.006M
Democratic Presidents (20 years): +46.380M
Republican Presidents (17 years, 8 months): -50k
Difference: Democrats +46.430M/Republicans -46.430M
That's right, over the past 37 years, 8 months, Republican presidents are actually underwater, as far as private-sector jobs go, whereas Democrats are 46 million+ above it. No matter what the GOP tries to sell you on the old, tired narrative that they're better for the economy, the numbers tell a completely different story.

Trump has created wealth for himself, his family and his billionaire buddies. Trump's net worth has tripled since returning to office.
Meanwhile, ordinary Americans are getting sicker and poorer. Real wages have declined since Trump took office.

59% of America thinks that @BarackObama is strong male role model. Even 28% of Trump voters agree.
Trump: not so much -- just 37% think he is and 55% think he isn't.

Immediately after Meta meddled unsuccessfully in the Brazilian election on behalf of Bolsonaro, this happens in Florida:
Hey @Meta 👋We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie @instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.
This page is a critical communication tool for reaching Latino voters and mobilizing our community. With just seven days until Election Day, every minute matters.
We are calling on Meta to immediately restore the page and provide an explanation for its removal. Voters deserve access to critical election information, especially in these final days. @andymstone
