  2. I like to read the financial blogs to keep a finger on the pulse of the markets.  Trump (unsurprisingly) predicts economic disaster if he isn't elected.

    Apocalypse delayed: Trump keeps promising a doom that never comes

    Trump predicted that if Biden won, the economy would crash, crime would soar and Christmas would be canceled. None of that happened, but he's reusing those claims anyway.

    So reading this today took me completely by surprise:

    Trump's own running mate, J.D. Vance, is breaking protocol and warning of a possible financial crisis if his own side wins.

    Great team work on messaging, eh?  How much is George Soros paying JD, I wonder?  Probably more than he's giving Dave Williams, for sure!

  3. F.Y.I.: I just found our Blue Book in the mailbox. If you don’t have yours yet, it’s on the way, and it’s a monster;122 pages on the English half alone.

  4.  

    Thomas Edsall of the New York Times takes a deep dive into why Trump has such a devoted following.

    The mystery of 2024: How is it possible that Donald Trump has a reasonable chance of winning the presidency despite all that voters now know about him? Why hasn’t a decisive majority risen to deny a second term to a man in line to be judged the worst president in American history?

    The litany of Trump’s liabilities is well known to the American electorate. His mendacity, duplicity, depravity, hypocrisy and venality are irrevocably imprinted on the psyches of American voters.

    Trump has made it clear that in a second term he would undermine the administration of justice, empower America’s adversaries, endanger the nation’s allies and exacerbate the nation’s racial and cultural rifts.

    Yes, of course it is a cult of personality, but there's more

    Trump has remained a powerful, if not dominant, political figure by weaving together a tapestry of resentment and victimhood. He has tapped into a bloc of voters for whom truth is irrelevant. The Trump coalition is driven to some extent by white males suffering status decline, but the real glue holding his coalition together is arguably racial animus and general resentment toward minorities.
