Trump called ‘chicken’ over refusal to debate Harris as Vance mocked over price of eggs gaffe: Live

A lot has changed since then.

Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday that the coins are “The ONLY OFFICIAL coin designed by me—and proudly minted here in the USA.”

Josh Marcus has the story.

The image will also be featured on a mobile billboard that will circle his rally “to remind voters of how much of a chicken Trump is,” DNC deputy communications director Abhi Rahman said.

Ariana Baio has the details.

Eric Garcia reports from North Carolina:

“We teach our students to — when they’re writing papers in class — to really have the facts right, the evidence,” she told The Independent on a Thursday evening in a suburban neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina. She was surprised that Trump and Vance failed to do the same.

“Repeating something just for the sake of repeating it is the tactic there. Without any factual evidence, continuously to repeat it is a choice,” Azor-Sterlin added.

JD Vance was roundly mocked online over a trip to the supermarket where he bemoaned the steep price of eggs.

The problem? When footage of the visit emerged, Vance was quickly called out by viewers who spotted the price tag of a dozen eggs behind him was actually $2.99.

Rhian Lubin has the story.

“You can literally sell s*** in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right, because people will buy it.”

So said internet marketer and self-professed “dirtbag” Chase Herro from the driver’s seat of his Rolls-Royce in a 2018 YouTube video, according to Bloomberg News.

Six years later, Herro is one of the brains behind a new cryptocurrency venture backed by none other by Donald Trump and his three sons. The elder sons, Don Jr and Eric are leading the promotion, although supposedly it is 18-year-old Barron who will serve as the project’s “visionary”.

In his latest Truth Social post, Donald Trump is sowing doubt in the validity of overseas ballots in the 2024 election from American expatriates living abroad and service personnel stationed around the world.

The former president wrote on today:

The Democrats are talking about how they’re working so hard to get millions of votes from Americans living overseas. Actually, they are getting ready to CHEAT! They are going to use UOCAVA to get ballots, a program that emails ballots overseas without any citizenship check or verification of identity, whatsoever. (Foreign interference?) Remember they say, we have the “most secure elections in history,” and anyone can get a ballot emailed to them! They want to dilute the TRUE vote of our beautiful military and their families, who Comrade Kamala has totally disrespected and abandoned. Republicans must act to stop them from stealing our military votes. WATCH! Remember, IF YOU VOTE ILLEGALLY, YOU’RE GOING TO JAIL.
