Middle East will spend next four decades going up in flames if Harris wins, claims Trump
Over on Truth Social this morning, Donald Trump is again warning of the threat of World War Three if he is not elected in November.
The former president wrote:
Arab Voters are very upset that Comrade Kamala Harris, the Worst Vice President in the History of the United States and a Low IQ individual, is campaigning with “dumb as a rock” War Hawk, Liz Cheney, who, like her father, the man that pushed Bush to ridiculously go to War in the Middle East, also wants to go to War with every Muslim Country known to mankind. Remember, Liz Cheney lost her Congressional Seat by the LARGEST margin, 40%, in History for a sitting Congressperson. If Kamala gets four more years, the Middle East will spend the next four decades going up in flames, and your kids will be going off to War, maybe even a Third World War, something that will never happen with President Donald J. Trump in charge. For our Country’s sake, and for your kids, Vote Trump for PEACE!
He then appealed to Christians and gun owners to vote for him:
Christians must register to VOTE now. This is the last day to do so. Our Country is at stake! God Bless You All! DONALD J. TRUMP
Gun owners must register to Vote, TODAY, if you want to save your guns. Our Second Amendment is under Siege by the Democrats. They want to confiscate your guns. BE SMART. VOTE!!!

One fifth of Republicans believe if Trump loses he should do ‘whatever it takes’ to take White House
The group of Republicans willing to depart from democratic norms and possibly even use violence to get their way is getting bigger as Trump continues to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him and that November’s showdown has already been rigged.
The poll, conducted by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution, reveals how Trump has molded the Republican Party in his image as he motivates its most extreme members.

Vance defends Trump’s ‘enemies from within’ remark about opponents
JD Vance was asked in an interview on Fox News this morning why it is “necessary” for Donald Trump to describe Americans who disagree with him as “enemies from within”.
The Ohio senator tried to dismiss the question as just another example of Trump being candid.
“Donald Trump is unfiltered. I think this is one of the reasons why the campaign has gone well, because he’s not doing a basement campaign strategy,” Vance said. “He’s not just running on slogans. When people ask him questions, he speaks from the heart.”
