Obama warns of ‘loony’ Trump’s Hitler praise; Harris reveals Rogan podcast plan: Live

Let’s have a look at the Republican nominee’s Thursday outings.

First up, he appeared with Florida Senator Marco Rubio at an eatery in Arizona where he was forced to deny John Kelly’s recent claim that he demanded generals as “loyal” as Adolf Hilter’s.

He then gave a particularly doom-laden rally address in Tempe in the same state at which he called America “a garbage can for the world”.

He then repeated his obviously false insistence that armed migrants had taken over Times Square in New York City and that the US is now an “occupied country”, called journalists “the enemy of the people” and called for the death penalty before telling voters to get their “fat asses” off the couch and fire Harris.

Here’s more from Josh Marcus.

The Vice President will not appear on popular podcaster Joe Rogan’s program after all, a spokesperson for her campaign said on Thursday.

Harris’s team had been in touch with Rogan’s show about a possible appearance but scheduling did not line up, spokesperson Ian Sams said on MSNBC.

“We talked with Rogan and his team about the podcast. Unfortunately it isn’t going to work out right now because of the scheduling of this… period of the campaign,” he said.

The Democrat held her starriest rally yet in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, where the likes of Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen, Samuel L Jackson, Spike Lee and Tyler Perry turned out to support her in front of a packed crowd.

Peach State senator Raphael Warnock showed exactly why is so admired for his oratory as he denounced Donald Trump as a racist and elegantly compared Joe Biden’s decision to step aside from the nomination to geese in flight.

Obama was there to ridicule Trump as a “loony” while also stressing the danger he represents, as pointed out by his own former generals, while also mocking him for last weekend’s McDonald’s stunt in Pennsylvania.

Harris herself also picked up on John Kelly’s latest Hitler revelations and characterized the election as a choice between her to-do list and Trump’s enemies list.

But, of course, it was The Boss that stole the show as denounced the Republican as an “American tyrant”.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump made history by becoming the first former president ever convicted of a crime.

Now, with Election Day looming and the Republican neck-and-neck with Kamala Harris in the polls, he could make history again: by becoming the first convicted felon elected to the nation’s highest office.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) will run a billboard plastered with Donald Trump’s alleged remarks about Adolf Hitler outside a Las Vegas rally held by the former president on Thursday.

“Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had’” the billboard will read, referencing a recent report in The Atlantic which claimed Trump once told White House officials he needed generals as loyal to him as those of the German dictator.

Donald Trump proclaimed his loves for imposing tariffs on other countries, declaring that it was the “most beautiful” word, before quickly backtracking.

“I can make anybody do anything through the use of tariffs. I can keep people out of war. I can keep us out of war,” he said.

“The word tariff is the most beautiful… I think I’ll do this just so I don’t get myself in trouble. I’m going to say the third most beautiful [after] love and religion, and then the word tariff.

“I think I’d better say love is the most and religion… You could switch it back and forth anyway you want. This way, I’ve just protected myself. But the third most beautiful word is the word tariff.”

Trump then claimed he would impose “200 percent” tarriffs on warring nations and cited two – “you know them, they’ve been fighting for 1,000 years” – who had agreed to peace because of the threat he wielded.

Donald Trump claimed that Kamala Harris would “kill thousands of people” at his rally in Las Vegas, though failed to put the remark in context or elaborate on what he meant.

“You have to get out and vote,” he said.

“If Kamala gets four more years she will obliterate our economy, kill millions of jobs, kill thousands of people too, by the way, and destroy your family finances –probably forever.”
