Donald Trump Responds After Joe Biden Drops 2024 Reelection Bid

/1 Comment/in , /by

Republican 2024 presidential nominee Donald Trump slammed Joe Biden after the president announced Sunday he was dropping out of the 2024 election.

Minutes after the announcement, Trump reportedly told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in a phone call that Biden is “the worst president in the history of our country.”

“In a phone call with CNN minutes after Biden announced his exit from the 2024 race, former President Trump responded, ‘He is the worst president in the history of our country. He goes down as the single worst president by far in the history of our country.’ While it’s unclear who the Democratic nominee will be, Trump said he thinks VP Harris will be easier to defeat than Biden would have been,” Collins wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Minutes later, Trump took to Truth Social and claimed Biden “was not fit to run” for president and “is certainly not fit to serve.”

“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement,” Trump wrote.

Donald Trump Slams Secret Service One Week After Attempted Assassination

/2 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump is now getting in on all the Secret Service bashing a week after his attempted assassination.

The 2024 Republican presidential nominee and his VP pick J.D. Vance sat down for an interview with Fox News host, Jesse Watters, which will air Monday on the network.

In a teaser clip released Saturday, Trump slammed the Secret Service for not protecting him at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally last weekend.

He told Watters the Secret Service never informed him there was a gunman on a building rooftop before he took the stage. . .

Trump then took a shot at Secret Service for allowing the shooter to climb up to the rooftop while the crowd was screaming there’s a man with a gun way before Donald came out to give his speech. (Read more from “Donald Trump Slams Secret Service One Week After Attempted Assassination” HERE)

Trump Pledges to End Ukraine-Russia War in Phone Call With Zelensky

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump has announced a diplomatic initiative aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, following a pivotal phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump’s bold commitment was outlined in a statement on Truth Social.

In his statement, Trump described the conversation with President Zelensky as productive, highlighting bipartisan American support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and condemning recent acts of aggression by Russia. He pledged to leverage his potential return to the White House to facilitate peace talks.

“We agreed to discuss at a personal meeting what steps can make peace fair and truly lasting,” Zelensky affirmed in a subsequent post.

Trump’s initiative comes amid escalating tensions and ongoing military clashes in Ukraine, exacerbated by what Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán describes as a concerning escalation of conflict. Orbán, who recently met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and engaged in diplomatic missions across key capitals, has been a vocal advocate for renewed peace efforts and a critic of Western policies that he perceives as fueling further discord.

Orbán expressed confidence in Trump’s readiness to act decisively as a peace broker, stressing that Trump’s approach is grounded in detailed plans aimed at de-escalation and fostering conditions conducive to ceasefire and negotiations.

Report: Top Democrats Say Joe Biden Will Exit Race as ‘Soon as This Weekend’

/7 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden will step aside as the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee as “soon as this weekend,” several top Democrats privately told Axios Thursday.

The Biden-Harris campaign immediately rejected the idea, telling Bloomberg that Biden will remain atop the ticket.

Alex Marlow, Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief and author of the New York Times bestselling book Breaking Biden, suggested that the most probable way to persuade Biden to withdraw from the race would be to offer him a significant financial incentive.

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want Biden to quit the race, an Associated Press/NORC poll found Wednesday.

“His choice is to be one of history’s heroes, or to be sure of the fact that there’ll never be a Biden presidential library,” one of Biden’s closest friends told Axios. “I pray that he does the right thing. He’s headed that way.”

Biden Pushes Party Unity as He Resists Calls to Step Aside, Says He’ll Return to Campaign Next Week

By Breitbart. President Joe Biden on Friday appealed for party unity to take on former President Donald Trump’s “dark vision,” working to hold off pressure from Democrats at the highest levels for him to bow out of the 2024 election to make way for a new nominee and avoid widespread losses.

As more Democratic members of Congress called for him to drop out Friday — bringing the total since his disastrous debate against Trump to at least 30 — Biden remained isolated at his beach house in Delaware after being diagnosed with COVID-19. The president, who has insisted he can beat Trump, was huddling with family and relying on a few longtime aides as he tries to resist efforts to shove him aside.

Biden said Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention showcased a “dark vision for the future.” The president, seeking to move the political conversation away from his fate and onto his rival’s agenda, said Friday he was planning to return to the campaign trail next week and insisted he has a path to victory over Trump, despite the worries of some of his party’s most eminent members.

Franklin Graham Says God ‘Spared’ Trump’s Life After Assassination Attempt

/7 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump had a near death experience, “no question. But God spared his life,” evangelist Franklin Graham said Thursday on the final night of the Republican National Convention, just days after a gunman attempted to kill the former president at a Pennsylvania rally.

“When we go through those experiences, it changes us. It can cause us to examine our lives and to reevaluate our priorities, as it should,” Graham said in Milwaukee.

“When President Trump rose from that platform, he rose with his fist raised in strength, showing America his unshakable resolve to fight for them in this nation. I cannot explain why God would save one life and allow another one to be taken. I don’t have the answer for that. But one thing I do know is that God loves us, and he wants us to be with him in heaven one day. And that’s through faith in His Son Jesus Christ,” he added.

Trump’s Triumph at the RNC Suggests Something Bigger Than Politics is Unfolding in America

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s difficult to describe historical moments as they’re unfolding, but let me hazard a few initial observations about former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.

Watching a presidential candidate (and former president) describe his near-assassination less than a week after a bullet came within millimeters of ending his life is quite simply the most captivating, awe-inspiring thing that has ever happened at a political convention in this country.

“I will tell you exactly what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time because it’s actually too painful to tell,” Trump said.

In a calm, almost somber tone, Trump recounted in detail his near-death experience to a breathless watching world. “I’m not supposed to be here,” he said, attributing his survival to “the grace of Almighty God.” Many in attendance, and not a few watching at home, were in tears as Trump told his tale. He described getting shot in the ear, the blood running down his face, and the Secret Service agents shielding him. Again he invoked divine providence: “There was blood pouring, and yet, in a certain way, I felt very safe because I had God on my side.”

Then he described the crowd’s reaction: They didn’t run, they didn’t stampede. They were worried about him, Trump said, afraid he might be badly wounded — or worse. Trump said he wanted to show them he was all right, that he wasn’t going anywhere. So he stood up, raised his fist, and shouted, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” When he said this, the crowd at the convention echoed him in chorus.

Report: Trump Rally Assassin Hid Gun on Site Before the Event

/5 Comments/in , /by

The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Saturday hid the firearm before the deadly shooting spree, a source with the Secret Service told Fox News on Thursday.

“It was not immediately clear where he hid it, however. By the time agents spotted him on the roof, he was already holding it,” the network reported. “‘We went from golf range finder to AR-15, and now we have to fill in the gap,’ the source told Fox News.”

The shooter was able to fire off multiple rounds, killing one and injuring two others in the crowd. The bullet struck Trump’s ear, after a split-second tilt of his head saved his brain from a direct hit.

The head of the Secret Service has remained defiant amid calls for her resignation after the agency’s many security failures culminated in the near-death of the Republican presidential nominee. . .

Cheatle placed the blame on local law enforcement, who she said were responsible for the security of the building from which the gunman fired. Three counter-snipers were stationed inside the building while the shooter was able to aim clearly at the former president’s head from the roof.

Iranian Leader’s ‘Revenge’ Threat Against Trump Comes Into Sharp Focus

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Jan. 22, 2021, Ali Khamenei, the religious dictator of Iran, posted a photo on his official website of President Donald Trump on a golf course with the bold caption: “Revenge is inevitable.”

Two years later, on Feb. 25, 2023, Brigadier Gen. Hossein Hajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, listed on the U.S. terror blacklist, stated: “God willing, we will be able to kill Trump and Pompeo. That night (during the missile attack on the Ain al-Assad base in Iraq), we could have killed a thousand Americans if we had wanted to, but they were just soldiers, and it would not have mattered. However, Trump, Pompeo, and McKenzie need to be killed,” as reported by the Tasnim News Agency, Iran’s semi-official news agency associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Ahmad Hamzeh, a member of parliament, announced during a public session of the parliament that “on behalf of the people of Kerman, we offer a three-million-dollar cash reward to anyone who kills Trump,” reported the semi-official ISNA news agency on Jan. 21, 2020.

After a 2022 assassination attempt in New York on novelist Salman Rushdie – the longtime object of Iranian assassination threats and fatwas going back to the 1988 publication of his book “The Satanic Verses” – the Kayhan newspaper, which publishes Ali Khamenei’s positions, noted that “taking revenge on the perpetrators and criminals on American soil is not difficult and after this [attempted assassination of Rushdie], Trump and Pompeo will feel more threatened.” Many other threats have been made against Trump by the highest officials of the Iranian regime, speaking of severe revenge for Trump’s killing of Qasem Soleimani, a key architect of terrorism in the Middle East.

Before the failed assassination attempt on Alejo Vidal-Quadras, former vice president of the European Parliament and president of the International Committee in Search of Justice on Nov. 9, 2023, the theocratic regime of Iran had placed him on the foreign ministry’s sanctions list. Immediately after the attempt on his life, and before being transferred to the hospital while unable to speak due to a bullet hitting his lower jaw, he communicated with the police by writing on his cellphone that his only enemy was the Iranian regime. Subsequent investigations showed that the mastermind of this crime was indeed traceable back to Iran. The fugitive criminal had been hired to assassinate Vidal-Quadras.

Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Last Online Search Was for Porn

/1 Comment/in , /by

Failed Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks’ final online search before the Pennsylvania rally shooting last weekend was for pornography, according to a report.

Crooks’ last search was found when the FBI gained access to the 20-year-old’s encrypted Samsung phone, a senior law enforcement official told the Daily Beast.

Initial attempts to bust into the Android device at the Pittsburgh field office failed, and the phone had to be flown to Quantico for agents to take a look at it, the source explained.

The only other recent activity the FBI found on the phone was texts from Crooks’ parents asking where he was. . .

Crooks’ parents apparently believed their son had taken one of his father’s AR-15 rifles and gone to a local shooting range. (Read more from “Trump Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks’ Last Online Search Was for Porn” HERE)

Poll: Trump’s Lead Over Biden Widens as America Seeks Stability

/4 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald J. Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden in recent national polling. According to a newly released survey, 52 percent of registered voters expressed their intention to vote for Trump if the election were held today. This marks a significant increase from earlier figures, showcasing a clear trend in public sentiment.

Just weeks ago, a CBS News poll had already shown Trump with a solid lead at 50 percent, while Biden lagged behind at 48 percent. Now, with a five-point increase in Trump’s favorability, it is evident that the American people are increasingly turning to the proven leadership of the former president.

The poll also delved into the aftermath of a shocking assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Despite the brazen attack, a notable 26 percent of voters indicated that they were now more inclined to support Trump. This reflects a growing admiration for his resilience and a recognition of his unwavering commitment to the American people.

Moreover, a majority of respondents acknowledged Trump’s efforts to promote national unity following the harrowing incident. Fifty-four percent affirmed that Trump has actively pushed for greater cohesion, while only 46 percent believed otherwise. This demonstrates Trump’s steadfast dedication to healing the nation’s divisions, even amidst personal adversity.

The recent surge in Trump’s popularity reflects a broader sentiment among voters who are increasingly disillusioned with the current administration’s policies. From economic woes to foreign policy mishaps, the Biden administration’s failures have underscored the need for a return to strong, decisive leadership.

As the nation looks ahead to the next election cycle, one thing remains abundantly clear: the American people yearn for stability, security, and a leader who will put their interests first.
