"It's going to be a communist country if they win...They're crazy...We're not going to let the communism happen." ~ Trump on Democrats, at midterm convention

Fine.
Trump didn't invent fantasy political alarmism, even if he has refined it to unprecedented extreme.
But this close to the election it is horrifying that the Democrats have not coordinated an enlightening, truthful response.
The Dems. have previously been mocked as a "circular firing squad". We can add the 2026 mid-terms to the list.

No question that they always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I am ambivalent on traffic circles.
I can't tell who has priority?
They also take more space and need more snow removal.

The UK's 'white knuckle Magic Roundabout' named the best
The much-loved - often feared - local landmark has just been named the UK Roundabout of the Year.
I would think that would be very confusing since there appear to be 5 different traffic arteries?
The video said it was actually 7 roundabouts.
I only see 5?

Where the seven roundabouts are is not completely obvious. There are
- Five mini-roundabouts arranged in a ring.
- One large central island (the sixth circle) around which traffic flows counter-clockwise.
- The overall outer loop/junction system acting as the seventh component connecting the entries and exits
The white dot for the top one must have been covered up by a car, and I did not notice the outer loop.
Still seems a little intimidating for a person new to it?

"And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump." ~ video shown at RNC midterm convention
"You know what happens if you don't vote? You go to hell!" ~ Trump
And, thanks to all the Democrats who didn't vote the US (and thereby elected Trump) the US is working on becoming hell.

Confirming for perpetuity that Trump is not merely a swindler, but has swindled even the divine.

"The statement from Trump blows my mind...What a sad state of affairs...Great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this. It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president." ~ Maria Shriver, on Trump insisting his name be on the Kennedy Center or it will be demolished
Maria, Trump has made explicitly clear, put his name back on the Kennedy Center, or Trump will demolish the building. Seems implausible?
Have you forgotten what he's already done to the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool? The white house East wing?
In U.S. English there's an aphorism: "There's no such thing as a free lunch."
There's a similar expression in Russian: "The only free cheese is in a mouse trap."

"They purposely write negative news...Very simple ban: I don't want them in my office. I don't want them here. I would say the ban would go as far as you can...You know how fake their reporting is. It's one-sided, it's never good. I don't think somebody should be able to come in and write fake stories...You get sick of it." ~ Trump, announcing he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, effective immediately
“I have the natural intention to be and to remain the warm-hearted protector of the German press.” These are the words Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels used when he introduced the so-called Schriftleitergesetz (Editor’s Law) on October 4, 1933 – a law that fundamentally changed the work of journalists in Germany. The Nazis chose the term “Schriftleiter” to refer to journalists because it sounded more German.
Editors are especially bound to keep out of the newspapers anything which: (…) tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly, the common will of the German people, the German defense ability, culture, or economy, or offends the religious sentiments of others.

"Like I'm fixing the country, we'll fix the White House too." ~ Trump
Not only had no one else ever think the White House needed fixing in hundreds of years, but like with the Washington monument reflecting pool, I doubt he can get a good job done.

Nothing like promising war crimes in front of the entire world
"I have a big decision to make. Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before? Or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and hope for future generations? But I believe we'll make a deal..." ~ Trump, in speech at UN
[**Donald Trump's speech FLOPS AS He threatens Iran at the global Stage**] So Donald Trump just delivered what might be the most humiliating speech ever at the United Nations General Assembly. The thing is that his administration actually believed he could stand in front of the entire globe and look powerful, but on the other hand, the international community just watched in total silence as he completely embarrassed himself on live television. Trump actually threatened to wipe out entire civilizations of Iran and said he is going to rename artificial intelligence to super intelligence. A person who doesn't have the intelligence in him is talking about artificial intelligence.
Also, Donald Trump’s speech was completely unhinged from start to finish. when CNN tried to ask him question he said was really rude to them and basically told them to go away.
The reporter asks: "Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans don't think the US is winning the war with Iran."
Trump says: "So, it's an honor to be here. I'm surprised that CNN is here covering me. You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't going to cover me. You shouldn't be covering. We're making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much."
Then in front of the world leaders, he threatens Iran, and as you, Iran's foreign minister, was there.
Trump says: "do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly, never giving them a chance to destroy people and countries again? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations? But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to. They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election. What they don't realize is that I'm not running. I did that already and won in a landslide. We won in a giant landslide, and I'll be here for two and a half years. The Republican party is running, and I'll be helping them. But I am not running. I gave absolutely no credence and will not give credence to the election when it comes to Iran. It doesn't even enter my mind. The only thing that does is that Iran will never have a nuclear."
Then Trump suddenly announced that he is officially changing the name of artificial intelligence to "Super Intelligence." He claimed that the word "artificial" makes the technology sound fake and demanded that the entire world now use the acronym "SI" instead of AI. He literally paused to ask the room, "Let's see if I have any power... we're going to find out pretty soon". It was completely delusional.
Trump also flat-out lied about his massive military failures. Despite the entire world knowing that the United States is rapidly running out of interceptor missiles and basic weapons, Trump stared directly into the cameras and claimed that the U.S. has more munitions than it could "ever possibly even think of using". He then claimed that he single-handedly brought peace to multiple countries and how he fixed the Venezuelan economy while completely ignoring the reality. He even made up completely fake numbers about Iran, claiming the Iranian government wiped out 72,000 of its own citizens, a number he has wildly inflated every single month just to validate his actions.
Instead of building actual alliances, Trump spent his time attacking the very international bodies designed to keep the peace. He also attacked the International Criminal Court, calling them an "evil group of people" and demanding that every nation in the UN resign from the court immediately just to protect his friends from being prosecuted. He then attacked UNESCO, an organization dedicated to protecting cultural heritage, claiming it is run by "globalists" actively trying to destroy the greatest cultures in the world.
And you know in every important speech, he just had to badmouth former president Biden.
Trump says: "This term, it'll be $1.5 trillion. We inherited a dark age of America from the previous administration, and we turned it into the golden age of America."
Then he goes one step further to reassure that yes, we are not out of munitions. Well, if that's the case, why aren't we providing the equipment to Ukraine that he promised he will do, and why are top generals and admirals coming out and saying it's a really bad situation and giving Trump warnings?
Trumps says: "The cowards and traders would love to say the United States is low on munitions, but that's not true. We have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using, and we're building them at levels that we have never done before. We are adding to our stockpiles faster than we have ever been able to do before. Top of the line stuff."
While Iran is actively building powerful new alliances. Iran's foreign minister is right there at the UN, holding highly successful diplomatic meetings with leaders from Norway, Qatar, Italy, and Switzerland. But Trump is busy talking about how America is in a golden age. Like, you can ask a random person on the street, 'Are we in the golden age?' He will say, 'Absolutely not.' It is actually delusional when he says he brought peace to many countries, all he did was put the entire world into chaos.
And just to prove that Dementia Don does not rule the world and can't ban CNN from the UN
