“ Many people say I’m a great dancer. Maybe the greatest dancer. They say “Sir, we can’t believe what an incredible dancer you are. You should be in a remake of Saturday Night Fever”. And you know, they’re right. I’m better looking that John Travolta too, don’t you think, yes I am “

Elsewhere:
A says: What is 'election weaponising'?

Some Trump supporters are worried she will be allowed to cheat at the debate by having pages of notes ready to 'confound' him.

B says: Election weaponising is the act of convincing the general electorate to vote for you. It's a dirty tactic that Democrats use to win elections. This is unfair to Republicans, who believe that they should always win elections regardless of vote counts.

Trump camp busy labeling Kamala as communist radical. Will allow schools to brainwash kids into turning trans. Etc.
The knowledge gap

Poll results point to another key point about uncommitted voters: They are more eager to hear about Harris and her plans than about Trump and his.

Trump has spent nearly a decade as the Republican Party’s leader, and even longer as a celebrity. Most Americans feel they know who he is. Many adore him. Many others despise him. Those in the middle generally don’t like Trump but are open to voting for him.

Harris is not as well known. As a result, much of the campaign’s final two months will revolve around trying to define her, positively or negatively.

Two recent experiments by Democratic-leaning researchers, for example, found that Harris’s ads were better at swaying voters when they focused on her rather than Trump. “Voters still have a lot to learn about Vice President Harris and are looking for a hopeful vision of the future, not just more attacks on a well-known figure,” concluded Blueprint, a firm that surveyed thousands of voters’ views about six hypothetical ads for Harris. Likewise, two political scientists — David Broockman of the University of California, Berkeley, and Josh Kalla of Yale — found that the most effective messages for Harris portrayed her as a typical Democrat who would protect Social Security and Medicare, expand abortion access, reduce the cost of living and so on. “Attacking Trump simply isn’t as effective for Democrats as praising Harris,” Broockman and Kalla wrote.

Trump’s campaign has come to a similar conclusion, albeit from the opposite perspective. “This is a moment in the message arc of us seeking to define her,” one Trump adviser told The Washington Post. Trump is “a defined candidate,” the adviser said.

I know that some readers will be surprised to hear that 18 percent of voters still haven’t decided between Harris and Trump, given their stark differences. But remember that many Americans don’t follow politics as closely as you may. This year’s campaign has also been an unusual one, in which one party picked a nominee who didn’t spend many months running in primaries and talking with voters. Above all, swing voters seem to want to know more about that nominee.

Along with teachers' request for school supplies, do they also need surgical instruments now?

An interesting ABC article, an interview with Scaramucci: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-04/ ... /104309994

With Donald Trump looking to return to the White House, his one-time director of communications Anthony Scaramucci has warned that the former president's "malevolence" and "cruelty" could be costly to the United States and the world.

Trump says he will win debate. The country is in terrible shape and Kamala does not know what she is talking about.

Rats leaving a sinking ship?

Donald Trump’s tiny social media empire has seen its extraordinary stock market rally wiped out by a steep sell-off.

Shares in Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of Truth Social, closed below $17 on Wednesday, reversing all their gains since the company’s rapid rise took hold in January.

The former president has been prohibited by a lock-up agreement from starting to sell shares in the firm until late September. While his majority stake in the firm is still worth some $2bn on paper, its value has fallen dramatically from $4.9bn in March...

The president, if Trump, has unlimited powers of breaking laws for the good of the country! And election interference:

"Unlawfully incarcerating President Trump in the final weeks of the Presidential election, while early voting is ongoing, would irreparably harm the First Amendment rights of President Trump and voters located far beyond New York County," defense attorneys wrote.
