Trump: So I said, let me ask you a question and he said, nobody ever asked this question and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT. Very smart. He goes, I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you're in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there's a shark that's approximately 10 yards over there, by the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that a lot of shark? I watched some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren't really that angry. They bit off the young lady's leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was? These people are. He said there's no problem with sharks. They just didn't really understand a young woman swimming now. It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there's a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted? Because I will tell you he didn't know the answer. He said, you know, nobody's ever asked me that question. I said, I think it's a good question. I think there's a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I'd do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted, I'll take electrocution every single time

President Joe Biden's approval rating has hit an all-time low of 37.4 percent. The low number comes as the president is facing Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 election in November.
According to 538's senior editor and senior elections analyst Nathaniel Rakich, 538's average approval rating for Biden hit the all-time low of 37.4 percent on Monday.
Looks like only the mentally ill, felons, and the most violent criminals in the Nation approve of President Magoo's job. Go Figure!

‘THEY WRONGED OUR DONALD’
Visibly Distressed Putin Pals Shaken Up by Trump Verdict
Kremlin state TV propagandists couldn’t hide dismay over Trump’s conviction but they confirmed that Russia is still desperate for him to win back the White House.
Russian state-controlled media apparatus closely followed legal troubles of the former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, spicing up most of their coverage with pro-Trump clips from Fox News and Tucker Carlson. Russian propagandists were openly hoping for a hung jury and were visibly disappointed when Trump became a convicted felon on all 34 charges he was facing.
On Friday morning, Dmitry Kulikov, host of Solovyov Live, the self-described “most patriotic channel” in Russia, said on-air, “They wronged our Donald Trump!” Malek Dudakov, a political scientist who specializes in America, said that the hope for a miracle—meaning a hung jury—was extinguished. He said, with Russia’s affectionate middle name usage, “The miracle did not happen. Our Donald Fredovych was found guilty on all 34 counts.” For that, Dudakov blamed the judge and the jury and baselessly claimed that all of them were prejudiced against Trump. “Now, he is a felon,” he surmised, while also noting that the former president’s incarceration as a result of this conviction is unlikely.
Dudakov expressed hope that despite his legal troubles, Trump would still win in the upcoming presidential election. Kulikov and Dudakov jointly echoed Tucker Carlson’s assertions that their preferred candidate will prevail, “unless desperately panicked Democrats will organize an assassination of Donald Fredovych.” They expressed hope that Biden—not Trump—would die before the elections.
Similar reaction reverberated across Russian media outlets. Appearing on a state TV show 60 Minutes Friday morning, State Duma member Aleksei Zhuravlyov opted to discuss Trump’s conviction before addressing other bad news Russia is facing, with Western governments broadly signing off on Ukraine’s right to defend itself by striking Russia on its own turf. Zhuravlyov said he would address this “escalation” later and started with his rant against America for turning Trump into a felon.
Mischaracterizing the prosecution by describing it as “a lawsuit brought by Stormy Daniels,” host Olga Skabeeva chimed in and described Trump as “a former and potentially future U.S. president.” She surmised that the situation is too ridiculous for words and keeps escalating on every front. Skabeeva complained that earlier predictions of a hung jury did not come true, bitterly adding in perfect English, “*bleep* happens.”
Zhuravlyov angrily asserted, “There are idiots in every country, but this is the only instance where idiots have their own country. This is something new in history.” The state lawmaker complained that in supporting Ukraine’s right to defend itself by striking Russia’s territory, Americans are not even afraid of the retaliatory nuclear strikes by Russia. Skabeeva scornfully added, “Our universally beloved Donald Trump thinks they can sit it out across the pond.”
Even Trump’s alleged suggestion that he would have bombed Moscow in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and attack Beijing if China invaded Taiwan on his watch was not enough to dampen the support for the former U.S. president by his Russian cheerleaders. Describing Trump as Russia’s “useful idiot,” state TV propagandists repeatedly insisted that he remains Moscow’s preferred candidate.
Appearing on 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev said that unless Trump’s conviction leads to civil war, America should be officially considered “a fascist country.” The same hope was expressed one night earlier by state TV host Vladimir Solovyov, who urged Republicans and Democrats to take up arms and violently confront each other. Solovyov also volunteered to host the upcoming debate between Trump and U.S. President Joe Biden.
During Thursday’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, Dmitry Abzalov, Director of the Center for Strategic Communications, explained that Trump’s potential re-election would benefit Russia and assured the viewers that the former American president didn’t mean it when he said he would bomb Moscow. Abzalov predicted that if Trump returns to the Oval Office, he would treat China—not Russia—as America’s main enemy. Skabeeva surmised, “The Chinese are hoping that Americans will fight the Russians and want Biden to remain in power. We are secretly hoping that Americans will start to fight China and want Trump to come to power, because he is more predisposed to confront Beijing.”

"Donald Trump is now a felon," Cowherd said.
"His campaign chairman was a felon. So is his deputy campaign manager, his personal lawyer, his chief strategist, his National Security Adviser, his Trade Advisor, his Foreign Policy Adviser, his campaign fixer and his company CFO. They're all felons. Judged by the company you keep. It's a cabal of convicts."
He’s trying to sell me an America that doesn’t exist,” Cowherd said on his latest podcast episode for The Volume. “I don’t see crime, I’m not stumbling over homeless people. I see happy people. Dodger Stadium is full, leads Major League Baseball in attendance. Laker games are full. NFL games are full. People have money in their pocket. LAX is packed, I just saw record airline revenue over the weekend. I’m constantly being sold an America by Donald Trump of ‘crime rates are skyrocketing.’ No, they’re actually not. Starting in 2023 they have plummeted coast to coast…you can’t keep selling me on how bad the country I live in is.”
"If everybody in your social circle is a felon, I don't think it's rigged," Cowherd continued. "I don't think the world's against you. And to get people to agree on anything, 34 counts? o for 34? That's a batting slump even the New York Mets could be impressed with. O for 34. When you're constantly trying to sell me on an America that I don't see... Trump's entire gameplan is 'The country is in a free fall.' Maybe in the Trump-centric neighborhoods it is.”
"Stop trying to sell me on 'everything's rigged, the country's falling into the sea, the economy's terrible;
Cowherd added. "The America I live in is imperfect. But compared to the rest of the world, I think we're doing okay."

I hated the constant unpredictable nature of the Trump years, was he going to start a war with an ally? Who knows! He never did get to infrastructure week, raised our taxes but lowered taxes for the super wealthy, the entire handling of the pandemic, he tried to overthrow the government, lied about a stolen election. And the way he made people feel like its ok to say their ugliest thoughts.
For Biden, I have liked the tremendous investment in infrastructure and tomorrow’s economy. I appreciate the investment and focus on American jobs. Im glad he got us out of our forever war in Afghanistan. We are trusted and respected by our allies again. He got insulin down to $35 dollars out of pocket and capped medicare drug costs at $3,300 this year and $2,000 going forward.

For a study in contrasts, it doesn't get more stark than the partisan reactions to the 34 felony convictions of Donald Trump versus the ongoing trial of Hunter Biden, the son of the sitting president. Even though Trump was convicted in a New York state court by a jury of 12 ordinary people, Republicans rushed forward to defend Trump with a series of lies and conspiracy theories. Although President Joe Biden had no hand in the prosecution, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La. blamed the "Biden administration" for an imaginary "weaponization of our justice system." Attorney General Merrick Garland was hauled before Congress and sat through hours of Republicans blaming him for the verdict. While few Republicans are stupid enough to pretend Trump is innocent, they refuse to accept that the only man responsible for the convictions is the man who committed the 34 felonies: Donald J. Trump.
What treatment of Biden's trial illustrates is the vast gulf between the two parties when it comes not just to respect for the rule of law, but whether they have a basic grasp on reality.
In contrast, Democrats just aren't defending Hunter Biden on charges that he lied on a gun application about his drug addiction. President Biden released a statement affirming that he has "boundless love" for his son, but that he "won't comment" further. He has since affirmed he will not pardon his son if he's convicted. When asked about it, Democratic politicians and progressive pundits mostly reaffirm faith in the justice system and leave it at that. The only politician defending the younger Biden appears to be Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who said (accurately enough), "I don’t think the average American would have been charged with the gun thing." Outside of the rabid conspiracy theory MAGA circles, the social media response has mostly been variations of, to quote one Redditor, "Dear weirdos. no one cares about Hunter Biden. Signed, normal America."
This was not how things were supposed to go. The sad saga of Joe Biden's only living son — the president lost a small child in a car accident in 1972 and his other son died of cancer in 2015 — was supposed to be the bright, shiny electoral gambit for the GOP. Republicans were going to use it to distract voters from the fact that their own presidential nominee is a career criminal who incited a fascist insurrection. As Roger Sollenberger of the Daily Beast wrote, every time someone points out Trump is a big-time criminal, Republicans "invoked a ‘whatabout’ defense to counter the charges with accusations about the sitting president’s son."
But what about Hunter Biden? He isn't running for office. His misdeeds, as sordid as they may be, appear to have no victims outside of his friends and family members who have endured the fallout from his addictions. Trump, in contrast, has repeatedly conspired against the American people, from the election interference he was convicted for late last month to attempted coup at the center of two of his three still-pending trials. Even the much-discussed "low information" voters aren't so dumb as to confuse these two situations.
No doubt the mainstream media, forever addicted to bothsiderism, has been lavishly covering Hunter Biden's trial, almost as if to make up for the heavy coverage of Trump's objectively more important criminal trial. I have no doubt, either, that there's a huge amount of audience interest. Heaven knows I found myself reading more than one article recounting the trial testimony about crack pipes and Cadillacs. Even on that level, Google Trends shows that it's hard for the gossipy aspects of the Biden trial to compete with the tabloidy aspects of the Trump trial.
More importantly, the political relevance of these two stories can't really be measured by prurient interest. The case for why Trump's felony convictions should impact vote choice is clear-cut: His abiding interest in defrauding the public makes him untrustworthy as a public servant. No one can explain, however, why Joe Biden would be a bad president because his son struggles with severe mental health and addiction issues.
What treatment of Biden's trial illustrates is the vast gulf between the two parties when it comes not just to respect for rule of law, but whether they have a basic grasp on reality. The Republican obsession with Hunter Biden speaks more about them than it does about either President Biden or the larger Democratic Party. In the grifting economy of right-wing media, there's plenty of money to be had with lazy propaganda films meant to titillate elderly MAGA viewers with scenes depicting Hunter Biden smoking crack and nuzzling the breasts of sex workers. But it's not at all clear that anyone outside of the already MAGA-pilled is worked into a froth over this.
Hunter Biden's trial tells a story that all too many Americans, across the political spectrum, are familiar with: The pain of loving a drug addict. Prosecutors shared text messages between Hunter Biden and Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau Biden. The two had an ill-advised affair amid their shared grief and at the time of Hunter Biden's application for a gun license. "I don’t want to live like this anymore. This is too much for me to handle," Hallie Biden wrote. It's a sad thing. It's a common thing. But it's hard to imagine this will get anyone so angry that they feel they have to vote for Trump to punish the Bidens. Even if you don't feel much about President Biden one way or another, it's hard not to pity him and his family at this moment.
Readers can be forgiven if they forgot that, technically speaking, President Biden has been subject to an "impeachment inquiry" by House Republicans for nearly a year now. It's barely rated as a media event. Republicans even struggled to get much interest from the making-it-all-up-anyway right-wing press. "Those months of effort produced nothing of substance by the end of 2023, leading Comer and his colleagues to repeatedly attempt to exaggerate the importance of demonstrably nonsignificant findings," Philip Bump of the Washington Post wrote Wednesday.
Unable to find even a shadow of a thread of evidence to demonize President Biden, the committee instead lamely requested criminal referrals of Hunter Biden and President Biden's brother. And even MAGA diehards don't really care about the brother, because of the lack of cocaine and strippers. These referrals will almost certainly go nowhere. After all, Biden's DOJ is already prosecuting Biden's son, a reality that cuts directly against Republican claims that Biden has politicized the department against his political enemies.
In the end, it may be that the right's need for self-titillation was what doomed these efforts to make Hunter Biden their latest faux-scandal. Previous hoax scandals — such as "Benghazi" — worked because the false allegations towards Democrats involved a lot of complex inner workings of government that most people aren't going to take the time to understand. The obtuse nature of the conspiracy theory allowed people to assume whatever it is, it must be bad.
But a story of a man self-medicating his grief by acting out and abusing drugs? That's a story most of us understand perfectly well, and plenty of us have direct personal experience with. Such understanding makes it very hard to argue that Hunter Biden's troubles have some larger political meaning that should bother voters at all. Even if he gets convicted, which the evidence suggests is likely, it's hard to see how it makes much impact beyond reminding people that the Bidens, in their all-too-common tragedy, are much more relatable than the Trumps.

I can only believe that your news source (i.e. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS) only replay something from Trump if it is a mistake. Brandon mumbles before he stumbles.
