At 7:45 tonight, Donald Trump experienced what appeared to be a serious mental health crisis while on stage campaigning for Republicans in Ohio. He had just arrived at the High School Activity Center in Vandalia, Ohio, 45 minutes late after his motorcade was forced to change its route to avoid protesters.
After making his way to the podium, he wasted no time launching into a truly disturbing speech where he told the crowd that Democrats tried to kill him and that “we’re going to put them down once and for all.” He said that Democrats rigged the elections and that the Republican Party is going to beat them, and that they would “shove it up their ass.”
He attacked the press, called Biden a “fake president,” and presented a bribe to every American over the age of 18, promising to send each one of them $5,000 if his party wins and keeps control of Congress. This was just the tip of the iceberg of the dangerous things the president said tonight.
Within minutes, it became clear that this was not going to be a regular campaign rally.
I'm sickened by Shitler but especially sickened by the young white people sitting behind him. It's scary to think who is still supporting this abomination. Thanks for your reporting, Heather!
Tdump is sounding more and more desperate and deranged. Support independent journalism, the truth must and will out! Thank you for all you do. Your resolve, your optimism and hard work.
This morning I decided to escape politics & work in my garden. While weeding I found a lovely "brown" gift left by a raccoon who has been visiting at night recently. I couldn't help but think it was quite the perfect metaphor for what our government has been subjecting its citizens to on a daily basis! In the long run I guess I didn't escape thinking about politics! But as always, thank you, Heather!
That first photo you posted of Trump's face is truly frightening, Heather. It is clear evidence that his self-structure has melted down, this is a picture of a person who needs crisis mental health treatment. I doubt that it will be offered, or accepted though! I am in Australia, watching this, and I fear for us all!
Appreciate your work Heather. Rarely turn on the TV news anymore, but trust you and a few other independentss to keep us aware of the day's events. Keep shining bright for all to see truth and the way forward ⏩.
With enormous respect I must say that this article shows the fallacies of getting entangled in Trump's lunacy. When he raves that he is going to do impossible things (to Iran, to everyone who disagrees with him, etc.) the appropriate response is not to be frightened, but to show that their impossibility matters—that he is fantasizing to himself with wishful thinking. Fine, take him seriously, but as a seriously ill individual not by any means anywhere near fully empowered to carry out his imaginiings. We are on the side of truth; he is not.
Dear Heather, you are doing an amazing job here which we all appreciate so much. I hope and pray that good will overcome evil. And that man you are talking about is truly evil. Carry on your good work. We are all behind you. God bless you!
Thank you for your daily reports . It’s overwhelming but your words keep us informed with the truth. I rarely turn the tv on. Your reports are all I need to stay informed.
He evokes the Great Depression...fascinating. But it's worth noticing that the Great Depression was caused by Republican economic policies, and solved by a Democratic president, FDR. (and, to be fair, World War II was probably the greatest full employment program in history).
Trump once said he loved uneducated people, didn't he? This is why. He is counting on the majority of Americans to be unaware of the poor record Republicans have in regard to economics.
Thank you Heather! Wow, I had no idea how bad it was last night in Ohio and so glad you called it out in vivid color.
This rally had to have been horrifying for the media, and I’m guessing, even some of the audience there. The swearing, threats, and lies are building and becoming more unreal and much more violent although since Trump went down that faux gold elevator he has been spewing such a diatribe of hate it was always part of his agenda. But the erratic man with the nuclear code is getting far more unhinged.
He has been certifiable and cruel his entire life but money, status, and power gave him a pass and enabled him to have zero repercussions society would have rained down on others of lesser means. And if all else fails, Republicans simply tie a “let Trump be Trump” bow around his abhorrent behavior. We’ve seen this show too many times, it is time to take Trump off the road and put him in a padded room.
What I do wish is that more news outlets would show his screed on air - bleeps and all - not just the more sanitized moments. An honest portrayal of how deranged and dangerous Trump is would serve America much better than only showing the more G-rated crazy and promises of money if he wins.
That makes you an even more powerful voice for us, Heather. I so appreciate you and your tireless, hard work. You are making such a difference in the lives of so many. Thank you again.

I thought those young people sitting behind him show concern on their faces. I think they are beginning to see the reality!

Looks like the narcissistic collapse is accelerating. Scary stuff.
