Time after time, for decades Donald Trump has been stealing from the pockets of seniors and gullible alike.
His latest scam is his DJT stock. After tens of millions in losses, Trump is set to cash in his millions of gifted shares and make a BILLION dollars after supporters paid up to $75 per share for a penny stock.
The closing price today is $18.08 per share and falling!

The #Harris campaign just released a new ad, 'Focused' — part of the $370 million buy running through Election Day — contrasting Vice President Harris' economic agenda with #Trump's #Project2025 plans. https://youtu.be/pjTjb63DgY8?feature=shared
Via Angry Staffer:
Based on the ad spend, I think this is likely accurate.
#Trump’s campaign strategy seems to be to try to squeak out exactly 270 votes by winning PA/GA/NC
They aren’t playing offense anywhere & this map leaves them in position of not being able to lose anything
James:
Seems like Trump camp. going all in on this scenario..def easiest way to 270 for him but also putting all your eggs in 1 basket like this is... risky esp when you're relying on R+8->R+5->D+0 Ga to win.

"JD #Vance’s Combative Style Confounds Democrats but Pleases #Trump"
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/31/us/politics/jd-vance-trump-vp.html
The #NYTimes (@nytimes) doesn't understand what "confounds" means. Dems are not "confounded" by Vance's rhetoric. They understand it, answer it, denounce it, refute it, ridicule it.
By contrast. Trump and Vance are confounded by #Harris and #Walz. They're floundering for an effective line of attack.
Margaret Sullivan, in a critique of the #NYT's dangerous embrace of false equivalence in its articles about #Trump and #Harris, quotes former marine, Ben Kesling, who writes this about the media coverage of Trump's criminal activity at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery :
It came off, he wrote, “like a bureaucratic mix-up or some tedious violation of protocol,” not a deeply disrespectful moral failure, which it surely was. “The sacred had been profaned.”
