The excuses people make for Trump, how they blame everyone and everything else for the things he chooses to say and do is pathetic. He's unfit. Harris/Walz 🇺🇲🗳️

[Dont.Call.Me.Tall.]

Trump has created this entire alternative reality for MAGA. Last time he had Q. This time he cut out the middle man. 🫣

Apologists for abusers create a more dangerous world

As a Canadian, I'm truly afraid for the future of sane Americans. I hope that truth and freedom comes your way in November

I hope Haitian-Americans register to vote (if they haven't already) and come out in droves to vote. I'm so sorry that this is happening. This is so unAmerican that it's sickening. I was ill last night from all of this. I'm one of those people who worries about my neighbors and how badly they're being treated for some type of political "gain"(?). I'm not sure how he thinks that he can gain voters by casting dispersions upon ALL Haitians (what he really means if all black people as we all know). I don't know any suburban mom who's thinking that that STORY is anything more than the ramblings of an old man.

His actions are pure spite because he sees the writing on the wall. Things will get worse. And there’s still 52 days left

As the psychologists have been predicting for years (largely uncovered by the mainstream press) as this malignant narcissist gets more and desperate and feels increasingly cornered he will only lash out more and worsen. He can still do a terrible amount of damage in the next 50 plus days. Never forget Jan. 6. That was only a preview of what this monster is capable of.

Thank you for not repeating it. I've been worried about how much air the crazy story has been getting. It is stochastic terrorism.
Blaming the internet is like blaming computer games for school shootings.

Ali, you hit the nail on the head. DJT and his cohort are despicable. Where is the DOJ on this??

[kimbok]

I'm registered as Independent because I've always felt the individual should be voted for who has the best plans, regardless of party. After this Trump debacle, seeing how low the GOP goes to get this psychopath into office again and how they are willing to put our country in peril just for their hidden agenda, I am going to change my choice to Democrat.

We can Stop this madness in RoeVember by voting blue 💙💙💙💙!!

[doclewis]

It's so weird for me to feel like I have to apologize to Haitian immigrants/migrants for the words and actions of others but that's where we are now. I just hope everyone stays safe. No one should have to look over their shoulder just to go to the store. Scary. November 5th cannot get here fast enough. She has to win in a landslide! Let's do this! For our friends, families, and neighbors of all backgrounds! We're stronger together! Don't let them divide us.

Look at this situation that Trump created, and just imagine what would happen if he became president

[pablohassan]

03:08, No, not just 63 million watched it, the entire world saw him do it. Shout out to any Aussies here! Don't forget, this impacts us all, not just America. 💙🌊2024👍

I have voted in every presidential election since 1972. Some Democrats, some Republicans. Never have I thought the policies of the candidate I didn't vote for would imperil America or its values. When the guy I didn't vote for won, I thought, this too shall pass. We'll get it next time.

Until Trump. God save us all if that man regains power.

[fernkenobi]

yes, what that orange guy with small hands is doing has to stop ✋

[KevinWta]

Thank you for talking about the rumor without repeating it.

[deborahblackshear]

No bottom left for these Republicans MAGA Party, they are All the same.

[teejay]

I despise Mike DeWine. Blame the internet. What an insulting gaslighter.

[ramseypowell]

I live in Ohio and I wouldn't be surprised if Ohio turned blue. People are fed up with trump and his lies
