The Donald Trump Score Card

Even with layers of protection in place, Sadat was assassinated during a parade thinking that the assassins were members of the parade who came up to him to honor him.


Assassination of Anwar Sadat - Wikipedia

excerpt:

"On 6 October 1981, a victory parade was held in Cairo to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Egypt's crossing of the Suez Canal during the Yom Kippur War.[1] Sadat was protected by four layers of security and eight bodyguards, and the army parade should have been safe due to ammunition-seizure rules. As Egyptian Air Force Mirage jets flew overhead, distracting the crowd, Egyptian Army soldiers and troop trucks towing artillery paraded by. One truck contained the assassination squad, led by Lieutenant Khalid Islambouli. As it passed the tribune, Islambouli forced the driver at gunpoint to stop. From there, the assassins dismounted and Islambouli approached Sadat with three hand grenades concealed under his helmet. Sadat stood to receive his salute; Anwar's nephew Talaat El Sadat later said, "The president thought the killers were part of the show when they approached the stands firing, so he stood saluting them",[14] whereupon Islambouli threw all his grenades at Sadat, only one of which exploded (but fell short), and additional assassins exited the truck, firing into the stands until they had exhausted their ammunition, and then attempted to flee. After Sadat was hit and fell to the ground, people threw chairs around him to shield him from the hail of bullets."

Maggie Haberman: Donald Trump 'more incoherent, more rambling'

excerpt:

"During an interview Thursday on CNN, Haberman also noted how long Trump’s speeches have been during his 2024 campaign. A New York Times analysis found the 78-year-old GOP candidate’s speeches average 82 minutes long. In 2016, the average length of his speeches was 45 minutes.

While Haberman did note there isn’t a “marked huge difference” in Trump’s personality now compared to eight years ago, she said the former president’s language is “darker” and “angrier.” She also said he is more “open to talking about revenge.”

The same New York Times analysis reported Trump uses 32 percent more negative words than positive words, up from 21 percent in 2016."

excerpt:

"The chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus says the North Carolina Legislature should consider allocating the state’s presidential electors to Donald Trump even before votes are counted in the swing state.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) said Thursday that such a step by North Carolina’s Republican-controlled Legislature “makes a lot of sense” given the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene in the western part of the state. Counties in that region are expected to vote heavily for Trump."

 

None of those happened to completion, although number 7 almost happened.

Number 9 was tried by a number of states, but the U.S. Supreme Court overruled saying that it's a federal matter for Congress to decide if a candidate is not eligible to run for president if he is accused of mounting an insurrection against the government.

Trump made it through everything (with a nicked ear).

 

That call turned out to be the most accurate.

 

Americans are feeling better about economy after interest rate cut.

Trump didn't want the cut to happen before the election, saying that it would be election interference.

Trump Pulls Slight Lead Against Harris As Voters Grow More Keen To His Agenda, New WSJ Poll Shows

excerpt:

"The new national poll shows the Republican candidate ahead by 2 percentage points, at 47% to 45%, compared to the same August poll that showed Harris with a lead of 2 points. The study was conducted among 1,500 registered voters between Oct. 19-22. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

The Journal suggests that the culprit for this new trend may be that voters have become more negative about Harris' agenda, while they have adopted a more optimistic outlook on Trump's."
