He wants to watch it burn.

I guess he hasn't done enough damage yet.

Anything to get him headlines. He hasn't changed since the '80s when he spent all his time photobombing real celebrities at Studio 54 just to get his picture in the tabloids.

Face to face meeting with his best supporters who called in bomb threats for him.

He wants to award them with the Medal of Trumpism.

Which is an Orange Baboon of a field of dead bodies.

Next stop on the Trump Campaign for Racist Losers will be Philadelphia, Mississippi. Trump knows how to appeal to his core group. Then again maybe the good people of OH can show up in massive numbers and counter the Trump / Proud Boys fans. Also the Moms for Liberty can hold an ---- and talk about book banning in their spare minutes.

This whole conspiracy nonsense is dangerous.

IMO, in the end, it'll hurt Trump-Vance bigly.

Also the Moms for Liberty can hold an ---- and talk about book banning in their spare minutes.

#1 Because leaving the window open to smell it burn has already been done by the Walz family.

Let me get this straight: Donald Trump is going to Springfield in order to offer the citizens moral support on something that never happened?

His pride was really wounded by the take-down he and Vance are suffering over this. He's shifted in his fantasy world to compensate. In other words, the man is having frank delusions.

When will you have enough evidence that the man you support for president is crazy?

This visit will happen a day after Der Dotard appears at the J6 celebration of criminals at Bedminster, I.e., the 12th of Never. Ohio governor DeWine was on national television today talking about the positive impact the Haitians in Springfield have had on the community. Locals are also standing up for their new neighbors. The comedy duo of Donold and JV might think they will be welcomed warmly, but will probably be given the bums rush if they appear in Springfield ...

Quadrupling down on a made up story that will only shed light on the positive economic impact Haitians have had in filling a labor shortage in small town America.

Fascinating 5D chess Trump is playing here.

The sad thing is that when fmr Pres trump was asked if he condemned the bomb threats against Springfield, Ohio he refused to do so.

Donald Trump Faces Backlash for Springfield Bomb Threat Response

... Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for failing to denounce the bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday.

As reported by Newsweek and The Associated Press earlier this week, an emailed threat said bombs had been planted in the homes of Springfield's mayor and other city officials. A second email said that bombs would be detonated at locations including Springfield City Hall, several schools, and offices, leading to several evacuations.

In addition, there was an emailed threat regarding a potential shooting on campus at Wittenberg University, a private liberal arts college in the city, leading to school evacuations and the canceling of planned events.

In a statement, the university said: "Wittenberg University is currently taking extreme precautions following an email sent Saturday, Sept. 14, that threatened a potential shooting on-campus on Sunday, September 15, 2024. The message targeted Haitian members of our community. Wittenberg Police are cooperating with the Springfield Police Division and the FBI to investigate this threat."

The bomb and shooting threats followed derogatory statements made by Trump about Haitian immigrants in the community.

In Tuesday's debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump said, "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs"the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."

In footage reposted online, the Republican presidential nominee was asked by a reporter in Las Vegas on Saturday: "Do you denounce the bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio?"

Trump avoided answering the question directly, saying: "I don't know what happened with the bomb threats," before implying the real threat is at the border: "I know that it's been taken over by illegal migrants and that's a terrible thing that happened.

"Springfield was this beautiful town and now they're going through hell. It's a sad thing. Not going to happen with me, I can tell you right now." ...

@#15 ... Springfield was this beautiful town and now they're going through hell. ...

My first question...

Why is Springfield, Ohio now going through hell?

Their public service resources and housing has been stretched with the recent influx of people, which was anticipated by local officials. Why JD Vance isn't doing more as Ohio Senator to help increase the availability of these resources and instead baselessly throwing an entire community of immigrants under the bus is truly curious.

Because he likely sees the problem more as a political opportunity for him, rather than addressing the problems of a city in the state he "represents" in the Senate?

... For many Haitian immigrants, Sunday mornings in Springfield, Ohio, are spent joyfully worshipping God as they sing and pray in their native Creole. This Sunday, they needed that uplifting balm more than ever.

Their community is reeling " confused, frustrated, hurt " from false accusations that they are eating their neighbor's cats and dogs. The now viral and highly politicized rumors are being fueled by former President Donald Trump, his running mate JD Vance and others, and violent threats against the community are upending daily life in their city.

"Jesus is with us in truth, and the truth is that Haitians are not eating pets and geese in Springfield," said the Rev. Carl Ruby, preaching at Central Christian Church. He invited community members to join his congregation in prayer and peaceful protest of the false rumors leveled against their Haitian neighbors.

They also demanded an apology.

"It is truth that a retraction of these rumors will help to restore peace in Springfield," Ruby said. "We respectfully call on all politicians and media figures who are promoting this rumor to help make Springfield great and safe again by speaking the truth about our community."

Viles Dorsainvil, the leader of Haitian Community Help and Support Center in Springfield, accepted Ruby's invitation to worship together at Central Christian, and was grateful to be relying on his faith. ...
