So, I'm guessing the list of 12 cities is also going to appear on a list of cities the Trump campaign never visits until after, if he wins the election? Then he'll just flex his Presidential status and try to wipe the debts off the record? Once a leech, always a leech.

I was wondering why he was spending time in Montana. Doesn't feel like a swing state...

But he did just go to Bozeman which is right next to Billings.

He's trying to get revenge.

John Tester, the incumbent Democrat, was the Senator who wrecked Trump's attempt to get that Navy doctor who raved about Trump's health into the position at the head of Veteran's Affairs.

So Trump is stumping there to boost the campaign of the Rebuplican candidate in an attempt to get back at Tester.

the crowd size thing is fascinating. You could just brush it off and say "meh, it's Trump, of course he's going to behave like a 5 year old", but there's some serious inferiority complex going on there.

what a pathetic loser.

And the Harris campaign is trolling him on Truth social to rub it in…

Now I know you will never respond to anything that challenges your world view but Republican controlled States fare the worst in the US.

Ex conservative here. I'm far from a left wing liberal but the right lost me when it devolved into misinformation, conspiracy theories, catering to religious nutjobs and Trump.

I agree that a functioning govt should have two healthy parties. The republican party is far from that unfortunately. You idiots kicked out the ones that could critically think (Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger to name a few) and sadly John McCain has passed.

Why do I vote for and give money to Democrat campaigns? It's easily summed up as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

You sir represent an existential threat to my country and my daughter's ongoing safety.

PS, you're in a cult, its weird.....

I know it'll be easy to think Trump is becoming more unhinged, and it's certainly possible that's the case. But he's also desperately poor and is clearly trying to recapture 2016 when he got tons of free promo time from the media covering his insanity. He's even posting on Twitter again to try and generate interest. Expect him to ramp up the insanity simply for the attention.

We have to address misinformation and media illiteracy, but we don't have to argue with a spammer/troll. I suggest we just designate posting the same spam content twice as a suspendable offense and report the posts. Let the troll stew inside his own head instead of giving an outlet here to make it seem as if he's debating on good faith.

Seriously... when was the last time we saw a conservative (re: America) come on here and debate an actual issue?

We've all left the party and no longer consider ourselves to be "conservatives" anymore.

Sir... a second photo of JD Vance in drag has just hit the internet

... It's not clear to me who he was trying to dress up as, if this was a halloween costume or something?

Best thing I have read yet regarding Vance.

That's a great meme!

I feel like this quote from C.S. Lewis gets at the core of how weird works as a dig on the Trumpites:
"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

I am openly Autistic and definitely weird and it doesn't hurt me to be called it. Must be the good kind.

there's always a huge level of projection going on. Remember when they kept on harping about the "Biden crime family" and had that clown Comer waste time and tax payer money for political theatre, while turning a blind eye to Donald Trumps family stuffing their pockets during his time at the White House?

He looks like the 3rd member of the Hardy Boys.
