What's even more troubling is how many people laughed and applauded at his Cuba takeover comments.

I thought the same thing Michelle. What is wrong with these people. I can't believe what I hear anymore. Something really needs to be fixed internally with these people. It makes no sense.

Who in their right mind would be in the audience to begin with?

Gosh what if ICE showed up?

Cubans are okay in orange world. Marco wants to do a Teddy R on a horse scenario and take Cuba from Castro or whoever is in charge. He thinks that will make him president.

The MAGA coalition either think DJT is joking and this is his idea of a joke, or they believe him and are cheering the action forward. I am not sure which is worse. As a former Republican I am saddened by the current status of the GOP

Frightening. What IS wrong with these people??? Sigh... each point Adam made in this video is deeply disturbing. Where the oversight??? I am done for the day.

I thought the exact same thing. War is no laughing matter.

It is for the draft dodger and the drunk.

Probably a recorded laugh track.

Essentially, Trump was essentially talking like a rapist would: She doesn't want me, so I'll show her . . . I guess that's entertaining to Republicans.

I'm not surprised. What else could you expect from maga?

Joan Fregapane's avatar

Exactly! It’s horrifying.

Proving that lunacy is contagious

He was in Florida, home of Cuban immigrants/exiles. Their wet dream is taking back Cuba; has been for decades. Not surprised. The rest of the country doesn't give a damn.

Every. Single. Day. More crazy than the previous day.

Sad day when four potential lifetime federal judges are blatantly partisan election deniers :(

I hope to one day wake up in this country and not have breaking news concerning a demented and dangerous president. Every day is worse than the day before.

I fear the clock is ticking on more people becoming so despondent they see their only recourse as the "Mangione option" because they feel they have no other recourse. This government and its supporters and backers have turned us against each other, to the benefit primarily of Vladimir Putin and the family of the felon in chief. There is a school of Marxist thought that says a revolution only comes when things become so desperate there is no alternative. Maybe, as Janis Joplin sang, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose".

We live in ugly times and a disgusting, grotesque, obscene country that needs a comeuppance. A hard one. Unfortunately, a lot of good people, and too few of those responsible, will suffer for that. Not an outcome I remotely want. But unless November brings about a massive turnaround, we are looking at a bleak future. Especially for those younger than 78-year old me.

Never thought I would see this - thought we were past this and making progress. Since the 1960's we have broadened equal rights for so many more Americans- a diverse coalition. Why do they want to reverse everything and be so cruel? I truly don't understand it.

Racism. It took off when djt started the lie about Obama's birth certificate. Prior to that when the Obama's entered the White House they were shunned by every republican in DC. The extremely obvious doctrine of total opposition to every policy on the dems side was born on the eve of the inauguration.

You just spoke my mind. 81 and angry!

Adam, I’m a great admirer for the way you have placed country over career. I have been writing about DJT since 2016, including on the topic of blackmail. Since recently joining Substack, I’ve written two meticulous papers on Putin’s blackmail, first revisiting the first term; the second his current term. Would love to connect. Thanks for your time.

Trump is itching for an all out war.

naejsllim's avatar

A definite warmonger 'til the end

What the Lyin' King REALLY wants is another US civil war.

Thanks for doing this digest and especially for having a printed transcript. It gives me good information to use in emailing my GOP Senators and Rep: Missouri’s Hawley, Schmitt and Wagner. My hope is that I may convince staff members to re-assess positions these politicians hold as I become a constituent statistic opposing most views of my elected officials.

Jeff Lazar's avatar

Blockade? A second war? Blockade is an act of war. He's truly bat-shit crazy.

Annette Magyar's avatar

Do not confirm any of them!!!!

Janet Mallon's avatar

I love these news updates.

How is Fox spinning this.

Cindy Marshall's avatar

Yikes, Adam 😲! This is so depressing how ice is being allowed to treat detained immigrants who are mostly NOT "the worst of the worst".

Did you notice that the audience mostly laughed while trump was making his speech?? They thought he was kidding about Cuba, etc!

Did you see CNN's Scott Jennings go off on the young pod caster, which I think is because Scott's running out of lines to defend trump on the Iran war?

So appreciate hearing the news from you! It makes it easier to digest!! God bless you on your current trip!

I find it disgusting 🤮 that he’s chosen to spend his presidency and our tax payers money in Florida. Why didn’t he tear up his treasured Mar-a-Lago instead of the “people’s house”. Seriously, how much money is wasted w/ his travels to his properties in Florida and to further line his pockets. Has anyone in congress (democrats) made this point. When’s the last time he went to Camp David. I realise my concern is inconsequential compared to what the madman is doing in Iran, around the world and here, but it irks me that he’s running the country from Florida. Not running the country, but ruining the country. November can’t come soon enough, God willing the Dems take back the house and maybe the Senate, but I’m on tenterhooks regarding the outcome.

What bunch of clowns. They don’t look honest.
