Breaking my own pledge, because IMO it’s important to keep a hairy eyeball on the MAGAts trapped ‘in a doom loop of disinformation’…
I recommend posting his speech transcripts in their entirety in newspapers. When you write this down it is even more apparent that it’s utterly insane rambling. pic.twitter.com/5iYv6J1ywT

Will Bunch, at the PPhiladelphia Inquirer — “‘Trumpstock’ brings peace, unity, and a ton of disinformation to Schnecksville”:
Even 30 mph wind gusts whipping down from the nearby Poconos couldn’t move the bubble of Donald Trump-scented awe and alternative reality that descended on this hilltop village for about eight hours on Saturday…
This Schnecksville extravaganza was the fourth Trump rally in the Mid-Atlantic I’d attended since 2016. I go largely because I think the media still fails to understand America’s most important story of the last 10 years. U.S. democracy is staring out into the abyss not so much because of the narcissistic bluster of one alleged billionaire ex-president, but because of the people with fleece hoodies over their MAGA hats who spent hours in an April windstorm to see him.
These rallygoers are the vanguard of the 74 million who voted for Trump in 2020, and who still have him in a dead heat with Biden, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released hours before the event — despite or maybe because of the two impeachments, the 88 felony charges, or the Project 2025 blueprint for a “Red Caesar” dictatorship. If the American Experiment grinds to a halt after Jan. 20, 2025, it will ultimately be not the fault of Trump, but the everyday citizens I met Saturday who are so eager to put him back in the White House…
