One big difference, not sufficiently highlighted here, is that, while Biden's economic messaging was largely ineffective, many of his economic policies were, in fact, working pretty well, whereas Trump's policies have been largely unsuccessful even on his terms. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/o...
Opinion | This Mistake Doomed Biden. Trump Is Falling Into the Same Trap.
When leaders ignore people’s lived experience, their political messaging collapses.

Directing DOJ to slow-walk politically damaging decisions until after people vote would be a major scandal under any normal administration. Here, it’s just Friday.

Jack Smith's revelation that Trump paid for the organizers of the Jan 6 insurrection adds one more detail to the picture already in place. But it also darkens the picture. Trump is now competing with John Wilkes Booth for the title of worst American political figure ever. His crime was premeditated.

Cannot be emphasised enough that Trump II will plausibly cause the kind of death count we associate with the worst dictatorships of the last century. Unspeakably bad that he came to be president of the world's most powerful nation.
This can't be talked about enough.
"President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal."

Republican campaign consultants are begging Trump to continue to ban CNN to keep Trump off the air
President Donald Trump is traveling to Texas and Oklahoma Thursday as part of a midterms push to rally his party.
But broadcast outlets are choosing not to show footage of his travels after the White House abruptly removed CNN from its press pool duties for the trip.
