Polls? There's only ONE that matters. SO many people don't answer their phones when they don't recognize the caller's phone number.

When interviewers pose questions like, " do you think this could cause violent towards after the 10th, 15th, 23rd etc.. incidence OF IT CAUSING VIOLENCE, I often wonder, are the INTERVIEWERS STUPID, NAIVE or so LACKING for original questions that they have to ask something that's been answered OVER a DOZEN times.

In regards to Trump's cognitive DECLINE, whether it's caused by age or is kind of IRRELEVANT, what is NOT IRRELEVANT is that it's OBJECTIVELY PUBLICLY OBSERVABLE. As Susan and/ or jer husband said, all one has to do is go watch one of Trump's 2016 debates with Hillary Clinton then immediately watch TRUMP'S debate with Biden in June or the September 2024 debate. ANY OBJECTIVE observer would see the decline in ability to make coherent statements and LESS of an ability to say what needs saying to NOT turn off the very voters he NEEDS to WIN.

Finally, the REPEATED ATTEMPTS to sell me the notion that American Journalists are so incompetent that AFTER NEARLY a DECADE they're struggling to know how to cover Donald Trump and his DISQUALIFYING, neighborhood of make believe, just say stuff, racist, sexist, xenophobic, UN-AMERICAN, promises to TERMINATE THE 🇺🇸📜 and violation of the OATH OF OFFICE, is insulting to my intelligence. As if I'm to believe educated and informed people AREN'T able to cover what he has been, is and promises to be and THE THREAT it poses to the 🇺🇸 AFTER NEARLY A DECADE. SORRY, I have a little bit more respect for American journalists abilities than that. Which leads me to believe that it's NOT a, " we don't know how, " its far closer to, " we choose NOT to, " for any number of reasons that are flatly journalistic malpractice. Whether it's for money/ clicks/ readers or allowing known bad faith actors on the RIGHT CUCK them into this NEUTRAL EQUALS TRUTHFUL and/ or BOTHSIDESISM where they do the equivalent of pretending the effect of a 🐁 and a 🐘 running thru your living room are the same because they are BOTH animals. It's a sad state of affairs.

I love watching arrogant liberals throwing everything at Trump. They just don't know in this clip that America will be speaking with a resounding voice. Yes, us deplorables want Donald J Trump, and we want him to drain the swamp!!!! So wonderful to watch. Go back to your New York Times desk and watch your readership falling off the cliff!! I am loving it!!
