Trump’s Puerto Rico fallout is spreading like wildfire in Pennsylvania. As a resident of the Lehigh Valley, I’ve watched the political landscape shift dramatically, especially with the Puerto Rican community that calls this region home. It’s surreal how a misguided attempt at humor by a comedian at one of Trump’s rallies has ignited a new fervor among Puerto Ricans, many of whom were previously disengaged from the political process.
The Puerto Rican population in Pennsylvania is sizeable—around 300,000. This demographic is crucial in swing counties. The fact that Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian known for his controversial remarks, was chosen as an opening act for Trump has only served to remind everyone of the President’s deep-seated disdain for Puerto Rico.… Continue reading
When I heard that Trump kicked off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer’s genitalia, I couldn’t believe my ears. It seems that there is no limit to the level of inappropriate and distasteful comments that come out of his mouth. Arnold Palmer was a respected and revered figure in the world of golf, known for his sportsmanship and integrity. To have his name dragged through the mud in such a lewd and crass manner is truly disgraceful.
The fact that Trump felt the need to make such comments in front of a crowd of people is baffling. Is this the kind of behavior we expect from someone who is supposed to be the leader of our country?… Continue reading
As someone who has been closely following the latest developments surrounding President Trump’s abrupt cancellations of interviews, it is truly alarming to witness the unraveling of a man who once held the highest office in the United States. The recent incident where Trump bailed on a live interview scheduled from his own home raises serious concerns about his well-being and ability to fulfill his duties, even on the most basic level.
It is quite perplexing to see a figure like Trump, who thrives on attention and public appearances, suddenly pulling out of interviews and events. The fact that he even canceled a speaking engagement at an NRA rally, a platform he typically revels in, is a definite red flag.… Continue reading
The news of Trump canceling yet another rally, this time with the NRA in Savannah, is indeed troubling. The pattern of cancellations, from TV appearances to debates, raises serious concerns about his health and ability to handle the demands of the presidency. The fact that he’s not even doing interviews or rallies, which are crucial for a presidential candidate, just weeks before the election is unprecedented and alarming.
It’s hard to ignore the signs of mental decline that seem to be accelerating rapidly. His recent behavior, like dancing for 30 minutes instead of holding a rally, is not only bizarre but also indicative of a larger issue.… Continue reading
Finally, Trump’s alarming mental decline has become a big media story. The signs have been there for years, with examples of slurring, verbal aphasia, scrambled memories, and sundowning being glaringly obvious to many. Even his own White House employees have admitted to playing music to “reset” him when he would spiral. It is disturbing to think that such a person is leading a country, and it raises questions about the ethics of supporting a leader who shows signs of cognitive decline.
The media’s coverage of Trump’s mental state has been sporadic and inconsistent. While some have started to address it more directly, others have downplayed the significance of his behavior.… Continue reading
Critics were left stunned, but his supporters seemed oblivious to the abrupt end of the town hall Q&A session with Trump, when he declared, “Let’s just listen to music”. It was a baffling moment that left many scratching their heads. Trump’s decision to play a plethora of songs, including classics like “YMCA” and “November Rain”, while simply standing and swaying on stage seemed like a bizarre move. The sheer length of time he spent listening to music rather than engaging with the audience only added to the confusion.
Watching Trump in this peculiar moment, it almost felt like he was tired of hearing his own voice.… Continue reading
I cannot wrap my head around the audacity and blatant disregard for morality that is showcased in Trump’s recent promise to hurricane victims. The idea that he would offer to cover the cost of generators only if he is elected is not just unethical but downright manipulative. It makes me question the sincerity of his intentions and the extent of his greed.
The entire concept of public service seems to be lost on Trump. The notion that he would leverage the suffering of individuals affected by a natural disaster for his own political gain is beyond comprehension. It raises serious questions about his moral compass and his priorities as a leader.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the notion of ‘protest votes’ and the impact they can have on elections, particularly in terms of Jill Stein and the 2016 presidential election, it becomes abundantly clear that such actions can inadvertently benefit the very candidate that the protest voters may vehemently oppose – in this case, Donald Trump. The idea that a vote for Jill Stein is essentially a vote for Trump may sound harsh or even unfair to some, but the harsh reality is that the numbers don’t lie. The sheer number of votes that went to Stein in key battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin exceeded Trump’s margin of victory.… Continue reading
It’s quite telling when even the visuals used in a campaign ad reflect the incompetence and ignorance of the administration behind it. The recent blunder of using a picture of Georgia the country instead of Georgia the state in a Facebook ad is not only laughable but also speaks volumes about the lack of attention to detail and carelessness of Trump’s campaign team. It’s almost as if they couldn’t be bothered to do a quick Google search to ensure they were using the correct imagery for a crucial battleground state in the upcoming election.
One can’t help but wonder about the motivations behind such a mistake.… Continue reading
The recent news about the Ohio sheriff making comments about tracking members of a specific political party based on their yard signs is deeply concerning. Voter intimidation is a serious issue, and using an official government position to suggest such tactics is unacceptable. How is it legal to engage in such behavior in the United States? This kind of abuse of power should not be tolerated. Condemnation is not enough in this case; the sheriff should be removed from office and held accountable for his actions.
It is alarming to see law enforcement officials engaging in behavior that undermines the democratic process.… Continue reading
