DJT addressed voters in SATX Wednesday, batting away concerns about the economy, the war in Iran, and a wave of protesters who tried to interrupt his speech at Freeman Coliseum. “Many of these protesters, they’re paid, you know that,” he said after one of nearly a dozen people was escorted out.

I'm so relieved to see people in San Antonio finally standing up, when at one point in personal opinion it felt like many still believed in this administration. Multiple protestors interrupted the rally, protestors stood outside, and they sent a bunch of TX DPS riot troopers in in response.
At a rally tonight in Texas, there were signs Trump is very worried that one of the Republican Party’s longest winning streaks may be about to end on his watch. At one point, he said he’d “never forgive” Texas if Talarico wins
for the second day in a row the President of the United States invites the country he started a war with to bomb Democratic-leaning cities and the news media treats it like he's never done stochastic terrorism before
New: ‘We’re in a huge war. Inflation is still high. The economy’s bad’: Voters sour on Trump, threatening GOP hold of Congress, and even seats in redder farm states. diplomatic.substack.com/p/voters-sou...
In case you haven’t heard, the voting systems company that serves 40 percent of the electorate is now owned by a Trump loyalist. He bought Dominion Voting Last year and changed the name to Liberty Votes. Pay attention to which system’s brand is the most confiscated by Trump officials on Election Day
The ghost of Ann Richards walks in the Texas moonlight with a smile. Texas has become an unexpected battleground for Republicans apnews.com/article/trum...
Police have forcefully removed another protestor at Trump's rally in Texas. This is the EIGHTH interruption of the night, showing that outside the ongoing cult there is virtually no support for Trump anymore. Hopefully more and more people use their first amendment rights to tell the truth.
Get this defense for Trump charging $100K/mo. for early access to Truth Social posts... 🤡 Brantley Mayers of DOJ’s civil division compared them to FDR's fireside chats. 😳 U.S. Dist. Judge Paul Oetken: “Well, President Roosevelt didn’t charge money for his fireside chats, did he?” 🧾 t2m.co/Q72QVwF
Hoo boy. And Gov. Abbott was busy taking his dog to the vet.
Obama implied that some rural voters are bitter, and we heard about it ad nauseum for 8 years
Trump is confronted by a lone, brave protester in Texas. The protester is then attacked by Trump cultists. Hundreds of MAGA cultists proceed to boo and fail to get a “USA” chant going, while some grown Texan men can be heard exclaiming, “Daddy Trump.”
Everything Is Bigger in Texas — Including the Number of Protests at Trump’s Rally About a dozen people were escorted from the venue as the president was interrupted multiple times at a San Antonio campaign event www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/t...
"President Donald Trump’s rally in San Antonio for Senate candidate Ken Paxton and other Republicans was interrupted multiple times within minutes of him taking the stage Wednesday, as protesters shouted from the floor of the Freeman Coliseum." www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/t...
Trump lies that his rally in San Antonio is “completely full; no vacant seats.” C-Span shows it’s simply not true as their camera pans the arena while he’s making the claim. Upper tiers have 100s of empty seats.
"Political deviants of all kinds long found it convenient to slipstream under the language of more respectable right-wing politics. But...this analysis misses the ways in which the Trump years have genuinely made so many right-wing people worse."
Trump repeatedly lashed out at protesters during a chaotic campaign rally in San Antonio on Wed, mocking a demonstrator’s weight & accusing others of being paid by “enemies of our nation.” The pres w/interrupted multiple times during his speech as protesters w/forcefully ejected fr the packed venue
WATCH: Trump is rallying in Texas to boost Republicans ahead of the midterms. But even the state's sitting Republican governor Greg Abbott appears unwilling to be seen with him.
That's how radical Trump's candidates for the midterms are – and that's their chances They spread conspiracy myths, deepfake videos or »jokes« about the Holocaust. In the US elections, the Republicans are competing in rows of delicate candidates. A selection of the lowlights – with forecasts. 1/
Trump: I'll let the Iranians hit Southern California The press (slur): what did he mean by this? Trump 24 hours later: I said the Iranians should hit San Diego or Los Angeles. With a missile. It will be traumatic.
There is a fallacy promoted by Trump & his MAGA cult that our elections are rife with with fraud.BS❗️ The fraud, if there is any, could only come from tech gurus like Musk. This President has implied over & over than Elon is fixing the election. If we had an independent DOJ that claim would be examed
Trump has made 3 trips to Texas in less than a month to save Paxton’s Senate campaign. At least 12 protesters interrupted his latest rally. Paxton privately blamed Trump’s Iran war and gas prices for GOP troubles. #USDemocracy
When Trump talks about Texas he talks about Paxton. Does Trump ever mention Abbott, who per the polls is in danger of losing? I’m guessing Trump only cares about Paxton because the governor of Texas has no votes on impeachment.
The true horseshoe theory is that both the left and right understand that Trump means exactly what he says while the center looks for some more benign, hidden meaning to his rantings.
Hundreds show up outside rally in San Antonio, Texas ... they did not want Trump to show up in their city: youtu.be/klZoa9Vs7MI?...
I mean, he is right: that would definitely be traumatic for many people. But this also raises insane alarm bells for me, because now that he's mentioned this again, that tells me it's his latest fixation. Combined with the knowledge of the USS Abraham Lincoln docking in San Diego tomorrow...
🚨Trump FALLS APART in Texas… MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump getting repeatedly heckled during his speech in San Antonio, Texas, and breaks down the deranged remarks that made his appearance even more disastrous.
Funny, isn't it, that Ukrainians don't need testosterone shots? And that Ukrainian women are every bit the soldiers that their compatriots are? He's a fake TV soldier, not a real soldier. That's why Trump likes him; it's ALL show, even with his producer as his wife. Don't forget: VANCE made him.
Place holds about 9,000 in the seating areas not counting the floor. They cut off 1/3 of the house like a common concert setup. Upper bowl had people up there in other photos. They probably had 5,000 there, MAYBE.
President Donald Trump is making his third trip to Texas in a month to campaign for Republican candidates as several races in the traditionally conservative state become unexpectedly competitive
You're Not Invited, But You're Paying For It On September 30th, Donald’s Trump Coin Club announced a new competition, because apparently what the country needs while we’re at war is another way for people to hand over their money to the Trump family. open.substack.com/pub/marytrum...
Trump: Nuke L.A., San Diego, I don't care. Media: Well, what he *probably* meant was... Trump: No, seriously, nuke them. Small potatoes.
Every single time the wretched, craven, depraved, spineless entities we call the press corpse tries to lie on his behalf, insisting that was taken out of context and didn't mean it like that, the very next day he doubles down even harder to say no, he *did* in fact mean it like that.
There were constant reports about Hilary Clinton saying half Trump’s supporters were “deplorables” and the other half just felt like the government wasn’t doing enough for them. Just endless takes. Trump said it was ok to take out American cities. It would be a “small price to pay”. Just pathetic.
“The president, as we know, can be sometimes — he exists loudly. He can be tempestuous. He can go from zero to a‑‑hole in about three seconds.” ~ GOP Sen. John Kennedy reacting to Trump doxing fellow Republican Sen. Tom Cotton on his LieSocial page.
I mean it's no secret that GOP voters hate US urban areas and would be excited to see them bombed by Iran or our own military.
It's pretty interesting experiencing even the barest fraction of what it must feel like to have your country occupied by a hostile power
San Diegan here. If we get deaded by a missile it was a false flag attack by Trump to avert the upcoming electoral response to his madness. In our memory keep fighting.
Thank you protestors! Trump interrupted by protesters as he fights to rally Texas voters behind Paxton in US Senate race apnews.com/article/trum...
Maybe San Antonio is not a good place for him. I wonder what the population makeup is? apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump: *says horrible thing* the media: he didn’t actually mean it Trump: no I definitely one hundred percent meant it
Outstanding Do whatever it takes to have your vote counted.
🔴 A protester leaving Trump’s Texas rally was assaulted from behind by a MAGA-hatted attendee who yanked his hair. 🔴 Apparently, even walking away from a political disagreement isn’t enough. 🔴 The moral divide couldn’t be clearer. #FreeSpeech ⁉️ ➷ www.rawstory.com/trump-texas-...
A fun thing about him is how he’ll say something, people will scramble to find some way to read it charitably, and then the next day he’ll explicitly clarify that no he meant that bad shit
Donald Trump has a significantly harsher “death to America” stance than the IRGC does at this point I think
Just imagine if Biden said that rural Oklahoma should be hit with a missile? The press would treat it like Watergate and he’d be impeached
apnews.com/article/trum... interrupted by protesters as he fights to rally Texas voters behind Paxton in US Senate race
That's the thing about Republicans, what could we even propose in response to this sort of shit. Are we supposed to take out the fictional towns in Hallmark movies? They don't have any cities or holy places.
"Now what exactly did he mean by that?" - New York Times headline tomorrow (probably)
"At least half a dozen demonstrators interrupted the US president...One was physically assaulted by an older Trump supporter as he tried to leave" Won't post the clip as it's from Xitter, but the MAGA thug attacked the protester from behind. Courageous! 🙄🤬🙄🤬🙄 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
