2024 Elections

Former President Donald Trump threatened to prosecute Google because a conservative think tank didn't like the results of two search queries made on a single day.

Trump complained of "ILLEGAL ACTIVITY" on Truth Social Friday afternoon. His source appears to be a Fox News report complaining the search engine buried its content.

Special counsel Jack Smith slapped back at former President Donald Trump's attempt to keep new evidence in his criminal election interference case from reaching the public before Election Day.

Smith this week filed a nine-page argument to Washington D.C. federal Judge Tanya Chutkan in support of publishing a redacted copy of his 180-page case summary to the public docket.

With the value of stock in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, the parent company of Truth Social, already having lost 80 percent of its value, investors big and small are casting a wary eye at the November election where a Donald Trump loss could make their investment go up in a puff of smoke.

According to a report from Politico's Declan Harty, investment advisers are cautioning their clients that the stock could equally be headed for boom or bust, with one telling Politico everyone involved is "gambling on the election."

As Harty explained, Trump has already told reporters he has no plan to sell off his majority stake, currently valued at approximately $1.6 billion but, as Interactive Brokers Chief Strategist Steve Sosnick dryly explained, "He’s, shall we say, a mercurial person,” before adding, "So it’s not 100 percent clear that he won’t change his mind — or hasn’t changed his mind.”

Aside from that, there is the election just weeks away.

“The calculus that investors are asking themselves is: Is he going to be reelected or not? And right now, it’s a coin toss,” stated Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management before elaborating, "This is binary — there’s no middle ground in this kind of investment. It’s even hard to call it investing. This comes out to basically gambling on the election.”

Former President Donald Trump has vowed to construct an Israeli-style "iron dome" missile defense shield across the United States should he win a second term.

Mother Jones reporter Sophie Hurwitz recently spoke with some defense experts about this proposal and they were uniform in saying that it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

In interviews with AzCentral's Laurie Roberts, Republican Party campaign consultants in the state not only see former TV personality Kari Lake on the verge of suffering a humiliating defeat in November as she runs for a Senate seat, but also the end of any future in politics.

In her column, Roberts noted that Lake's unfavorable numbers have been increasing at an alarming rate to the point that a stunning number of conservatives who plan to vote for Donald Trump have indicated they have no desire to cast their vote for one of his most avid followers.

Democratic nominee Kamala Harris hammered former President Donald Trump's manufacturing record ahead of his visit to the battleground state of Michigan on Friday, pointing out that offshoring of U.S. jobs increased during the Republican nominee's first White House term despite his grand promises to revitalize the nation's industrial base.

"Donald Trump is one of the biggest losers of manufacturing in American history," Harris, who outlined her own domestic manufacturing priorities earlier this week, said in a statement Thursday. "He makes empty promise after empty promise to American workers, but never delivers. As president, he cut taxes for corporations, encouraged outsourcing, and lost nearly 200,000 manufacturing jobs, including auto jobs. He has joked about firing workers, supported state anti-union laws, and suggested companies move jobs out of Michigan."

Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell broke with Donald Trump on the centerpiece of his economic policy proposals.

The former president has pledged to impose massive tariffs and influence interest rates if re-elected, which economists say would weaken economic growth and increase inflation for a decade or more, and McConnell said he's "not a fan" of those proposals, reported Semafor.
