The latest from the previous president on Truth Social:

Nobody can consider this Political Witch Hunt Trial remains to be occurring.

There was FRAUD, nonetheless, however by the Judge and the A.G., in saying that Mar-a-Lago was value solely $18,000,000, once they knew it was value many occasions that quantity. They simply needed to make me look dangerous – All a giant SCAM by the New York A.G. with a view to get elected, after which to run for Governor, unsuccessfully. The Trump Hating Judge MUST WITHDRAW his “bull….” early ruling (earlier than the trial even began. HE KNEW NONE OF THE FACTS!). He is devastated by the TRUTH, however simply can’t let it go. He is OBSESSED! Any different Judge however this one would have dismissed this ridiculous lawsuit years in the past. He requested me to accept a MUCH LOWER AMOUNT, at a settlement convention, however I mentioned NO, I DID NOTHING WRONG! Businesses will NEVER come again to New York if this HOAX just isn’t dismissed & forgotten!

Don Jr has been testifying in regards to the Trump International Hotel in Waikiki, the place there was “never anything built” to his father’s “standard”.

The resort not too long ago introduced it’s ditching the Trump identify. It’s becoming a member of Hilton and might be referred to as Wakea Waikiki Beach.

As his son testifies in the New York State Supreme Court, Donald Trump is lashing out on Truth Social at some of his opponents in his many legal dramas.

The former president wrote:

Deranged Jack Smith, Andrew Weissmann, Lisa Monaco, the “team of losers and misfits” from CREW, and all the rest of the Radical Left Zealots and Thugs who have been working illegally for years to “take me down,” will end up, because of their suffering from a horrible disease, TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (TDS!), in a Mental Institution by the time my next term as President is successfully completed.

After a brief break, Donald Trump Jr recommences his historical past of the Trump Organization and its varied tasks. We’re as much as 1999 and he talks about Trump International Golf in West Palm Beach.

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott dramatically introduced his exit from the Republican presidential major final evening. Scott made the announcement on former congressman Trey Gowdy’s present, apparently with out even telling his marketing campaign employees.

Gowdy, a longtime Scott pal and ally, was visibly stunned, and even argued with Scott, saying that he ought to keep within the race. “You have plenty of money,” he protested. “You have the highest approval numbers of any candidate.”

Scott’s excessive favorability scores have fallen not too long ago, which could clarify why he exited. He’s additionally failed to achieve floor in head-to-head polls, the place he’s been at two p.c or so, effectively behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley. And after all he’s far behind former President Donald Trump, who leads the sphere by 56 factors.

Still, Gowdy’s misery is comprehensible. Scott had actual strengths, and when he entered the race in May, he may moderately argue he had as path to the presidency. His failure is much less a referendum on his failures than it’s a referendum on the failures of the Republican occasion basically—a celebration that, regardless of the previous president’s apparent unsuitability for workplace and his escalating disqualifying authorized troubles, seems to wish to bathe in essence of Trump and in nothing however essence of Trump for all eternity.

Scott’s constructive options are, as you’d anticipate, largely invisible to progressives and Democrats. The basic consensus amongst is that Scott by no means had an opportunity and ran an embarrassing marketing campaign.
