Trump’s comments the day after his first presidential debate with Biden, which many criticized as chaotic and lacking in substantive policy discussions. Trump offered no proof for his debate cancellation allegations, which Biden’s campaign had already repudiated. “Joe Biden is too weak to lead this country,” Trump said to a crowd at Duluth International Airport. “You know Biden lost badly when his supporters are saying he should cancel the rest of the debates....

Trump made revitalizing the manufacturing sector nationwide a pillar of his candidacy, and he became the first Republican presidential candidate since 1988 to turn Michigan red. However, he was never able to quite come through with those promises, and the recent dismal job numbers in the crucial swing state with so many blue-collar workers could have political ramifications. From 2017 through 2019, Trump’s first three years in office, the state’s manufacturing jobs saw a net gain of 12,100—roughly 2 percent growth—according to the U....

Though former President Donald Trump remains the favorite to win the Republican nomination in 2024, an Associated Press (AP) report about Pence’s recent activities has set off speculation about the former vice president’s own ambitions. The possibility of a Pence campaign for the White House was not well received by some prominent Trump-supporting social media users. Infowars host Alex Jones told his 178,000 followers on Gab that Pence was mulling a run after “betraying constitution, Trump, the American people....

“THE TWITTER DEAL IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE ‘TRUTH,’” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday, the social media company owned by Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). The former president has been promoting his site as an alternative to Twitter for his supporters and his Twitter account remains permanently suspended following the events of January 6, 2021. Musk said in May that he would end Trump’s suspension if he became the social media company’s new owner, but it is now unclear if Musk will be compelled to purchase Twitter for the agreed price of $44 billion....

Barack Obama won the county by 8.26 percent in 2008 and 7.34 percent in 2012. But that all changed in 2016, when the people in this county with few stop lights and plenty of family farms went for Donald Trump in a big way. He won the county by 21.70 percent in a year that Hillary Clinton won Minnesota, and its 10 Electoral College votes, by 1.5 percent. “Today the enthusiasm for Trump is much higher than it was four years ago, and the division is much sharper between right and left,” Gary Steuart, chairman of the Fillmore County Republicans, told Newsweek....

This year alone, the Senate has confirmed 90 of the president’s nominees. The pace of confirmations has significantly increased, rolling along twice as quickly compared with the first two years of Trump’s presidency, when he placed 85 judges on the bench. Those first years saw two of the president’s most polarizing and legacy-making nominations so far—Supreme Court Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. This week, the Senate confirmed eight of Trump’s nominees....

On Tuesday, ACCENT Speakers Bureau, an agency of UF’s student government, announced that Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle would be the first speakers of the semester. The appearance came with a $50,000 price tag on it, which, for UF College Democrat President Matt Barocas, was the least surprising element of the announcement. Barocas told Newsweek that it seemed on par with the average speaker fee, so, while it may have shocked other people, he didn’t consider it a high number....

A Twitter spokesperson confirmed the news to Newsweek. They said Trump Jr. had shared a tweet “in violation of our COVID-19 misinformation policy. We are taking action in line with our policy….” The spokesperson shared a link to the social media platforms policy as well. Republican strategist Andrew Surabian shared a screenshot of a message from Twitter to Trump Jr. saying that it had “temporarily limited” some of his account features....

On his Twitter account, Biden has shared a Thanksgiving message, pledged to tackle the COVID pandemic and promised that his incoming administration will “build back better,” but direct references to the outgoing president are conspicuous by their absence. The last time Biden named Trump in a tweet was seven days ago, when he criticized the outgoing president for his failure to concede the election despite a defeat at the polls, multiple states certifying their results and the transition process starting....

The Rasmussen Reports poll released September 16, showing Trump with a slim 1 percent lead over Biden, is the only one out of more than 60 surveys conducted during the month to show the president leading. The Rasmussen poll released a week earlier showed Biden with a 2 percent lead. Both results are within the poll’s margin of error. Rasmussen has typically been an outlier, consistently producing results that are more favorable towards Trump than most polls, although some recent state polls have reversed the trend....

Spencer, one of the most vocal figures on the alt-right, said he can no longer support the president, believing he has led the country to the brink of war after killing Soleimani in an airstrike. “I deeply regret voting for and promoting Donald Trump in 2016,” Spencer tweeted. “To the people of Iran, there are millions of Americans who do not want war, who do not hate you, and who respect your nation and its history....

The former president was speaking to Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo and once against said the Russian invasion spearheaded by Vladimir Putin would not have happened under his watch. Trump condemned the military action taking place in Ukraine and said the number of casualties from the war may be higher than being reported. “I look at what’s happening in our country it’s like it’s run by fools,” Trump said. “We’re fighting Russia....

In the past week, top conservative groups and media outlets have hailed Ron DeSantis as the top Republican, praising the governor for his decisive victory in Florida—the clearest GOP win amid lackluster showings elsewhere in the country. But even as his former supporters flock to DeSantis, Trump has remained steadfast in his aspiration for a second term. A scheduled event at his Florida estate this week has raised speculation that he will make an official announcement Tuesday night, a week after elections that turned the GOP on its head....

“He can’t tell the truth,” Schwartz said on The Beat with Ari Melber. “He’s almost literally at this point incapable of telling the truth. What happens with Trump is that anything that arises in any way alters his self-image, he will reactively come up with something from thin air. And now we have 13,000 lies, but I’d like to know how many truths we have. How many times has he told the truth during the last three years?...

The report, published Thursday, found that Trump’s team owes a total of $1.82 million to 14 local municipalities for public safety-related costs incurred during the president’s “Make America Great Again” events. That’s nearly double the amount of debt that the nonprofit investigative journalism organization found in June 2019. At that time, the president’s re-election effort owed at least $841,219 to 10 city governments. Trump’s team has claimed that it’s not responsible for paying the bills, though the latest campaign finance data shows they have more than enough with a $100 million war chest....

In a Sunday episode of Kirschner’s podcast Justice Matters, Kirschner detailed a telltale sign that the former president knows an indictment is coming: the way and frequency in which Trump writes his Truth Social posts. Trump faces a criminal investigation led by Jack Smith, a prosecutor who was appointed to lead the investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots....

Translated by Twitter, the tweet by Trump read: “The noble people of Iran, who love America, deserve a government that will help them achieve their dreams, rather than focusing on killing them for revenge. Instead of dragging Iran to ruin, Iran’s leaders must put aside the terrorists and magnify Iran again!” The English version of Trump’s tweet included a play on his famous campaign slogan which may have been lost in translation: “Make Iran Great Again!...

The Jazz star left it all on the court, scoring 22 points and grabbing nine boards in the 80-78 Game 7 loss, which sent his team home despite Utah at one point boasting a 3-1 series lead. The images of “Spida” lying on the court and then heading toward the locker room show a man who gave everything he had — he averaged 36.3 points for the series — yet still suffered the disappointment of defeat....

The roster is notable in part for a number of interesting positional listings. Osorio has ignored those in the past, but the national team’s social media team clarified that the directors have listed the players in these positions. The novelties include Jurgen Damm, normally a winger with Tigres, listed as a defender, and Club America’s Edson Alvarez listed as a midfielder, though he has only played in the middle of America’s midfield on rare occasions....

Rashaan Melvin has gotten to where he’s at today by using such snubs as inspiration. The mindset won’t be changing even though the cornerback could look at the one-year, $5.5 million contract he recently signed with Oakland as the pinnacle of his efforts. The deal, which is worth more than double the $2.7 million he earned during the past four years combined, has actually provided more fuel for Melvin to show he’s worthy of an even pricier long-term extension that didn’t come at the start of last week’s free-agent signing period....
