gonna do a video thread on Trump's speech in Dayton, Ohio. Follow along for clips 👇

"Please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated January 6 hostages"

Trump's first words in Dayton: "Thank you very much, and you see the spirit from the hostages. And that's what they are -- hostages."

He suggests he'll be issuing pardons on the first day of his presidency.

"He's getting some very tough Democrat fake treatment, and we're not gonna stand for it" -- Trump on reports linking Bernie Moreno to an Adult Friend Finder profile

"How about a couple more indictments, Joe, you dumb sonofa ... " -- Trump

a fan of the guy who repeatedly defamed a woman he was found liable of sexually assaulting (not to mention the dozen+ other accusations against Trump) is holding a sign reading, "No Means No, Creepy Joe."

Trump claims that crime is down throughout the world because other countries "sent us their criminals" (Crime is actually also down in the US)

according to Trump, migrants from the Congo are crossing the border every single day -- he shares this same anecdote at each rally

"I don't know if you call them people ... these are animals" -- Trump on undocumented immigration

"We're gonna have the largest deportation effort in history" -- Trump dehumanizes migrants some more and then starts reading The Snake

Trump botches reading the word "bite"

Trump personally addresses President Xi and promises 100 percent tariffs on certain imported cars

"Any Catholic that votes for this numbskull is crazy" -- Trump on Joe Biden, a lifelong devout Catholic

"Nobody comes close to Trump" -- Trump claims he's persecuted more than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated

"I don't give a shit ... just like we did to ISIS, we hit him hard" -- Trump on Ron DeSantis

"Don't pay the teleprompter company" -- Trump, having a hard time reading the teleprompter in the wind, muses about stiffing the company that set it up

TRUMP: Katie Britt -- who liked the job she did the other night?

THE CROWD: 🦗🦗🦗

"Don't pay these suckers please ... I think Joe Biden put them in" -- Trump is riffing now since he apparently can't read the teleprompter

Trump, who repeatedly proposed cuts to the safety net while he was president, promises to not cut the safety net

Trump on JB Pritzker: "He's too busy eating. He wants to eat all the time. 'I'll have 5 burgers please.' Who the hell orders 5 burgers?"

Trump, serving up an epic word salad as he struggles to see the teleprompter, has a hard time saying "the Rolling Stones"

Trump lies that Adam Schiff "made up" the phone call with Zelenskyy that culminated in his first impeachment

"They changed the name of fort Robert E Lee!" -- Trump is now stanning for Robert E Lee

"Anybody that changes the name of the Cleveland Indians to the Cleveland Guardians should not be a senator, should not be a governor" -- Trump attacks Matt Dolan, though he can't seem to remember what office he's running for

Trumpism in a nutshell

Trump says Ukraine aid should be a loan, so "they'll be a little bit nice." He then calls Zelenskyy "a salesman."

Bernie Moreno gets on stage and starts pathetically fawning over Trump

JD Vance gets on stage and pull a stat out of his rear about Biden only creating jobs for foreigners (by every metric I'm aware of the jobs market is stronger now than it ever was under Trump, so I can understand the desperation)

Trump on Kristi Noem: "You're not allowed to say she's beautiful, so I'm not going to say that."

"They hit him very hard with false stuff ... on behalf of our country, I'd like to apologize" -- Trump defends JR Majeski, who dropped out of a House race after reports emerged about him lying about serving in combat in Afghanistan

I am going to put together a thread covering President Biden's torch-passing Oval Office address. Follow along for clips.

Biden from the Oval Office: "I revere this office, but I love this country more. It has been the honor of my life to serve as your president ... but this sacred task of perfecting our union, it's not me ... it's about we the people ... we are a great nation bc we are good people"

Biden: "We you elected me to this office, I promised to always level with you, to tell you the truth ... I believe my record as president merited a second term ... but nothing can come in the way of saving our democracy ... I've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch."

a big reception for VP Kamala Harris in Milwaukee

Harris begins with comments on Biden: "Joe's record of accomplishment over his entire career and over the past 3.5 years is unmatched in modern history. In one term as president he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who served two terms."

HARRIS: "So Wisconsin, I am told as of this morning that we have earned the support of enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination."

CROWD: *wild cheering*

One other preliminary note -- JD Vance spoke before Trump and was very flat. His Ivy League delivery isn't a good fit for the MAGA rally vibe.
