Parker Magid was recently appointed as Vance’s press secretary and his employment history links Vance and his circle to elements of the extremist right far outside the mainstream of American politics.
In resurfaced audio from 2021, Trump’s running mate attacked Democratic leaders who choose not to have children.
Two members of Donald Trump’s campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.
Donald Trump insisted in a meandering interview with television host Dr. Phil McGraw on Tuesday that he had actually won California, adding that all he needed was an “honest vote counter”—Jesus Christ, to be exact.
Dr. Phil McGraw asked former President Donald Trump if he thinks God spared him from an assassin’s bullet because he has “more to do” to which Trump replied “God believes that!” and suggested it was God who caused President Joe Biden to drop out.
It’s hard to imagine how the man once widely admired for leading his city in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack could fall any lower. It would take something like hosting a Nazi on his YouTube channel. Which is exactly what Giuliani did on Aug. 23 following the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
