I'm going to put together a thread covering Trump's campaign event in Mint Hill, North Carolina. Follow along for clips and commentary.

Let me note up to that if you appreciate me watching Trump so you don't have to, please support what I do by signing up for my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy it and paid subscribers make my work possible. publicnotice.co/subscribe

Trump oddly just stood in front of the mic while his entire theme song played

With Fox News carrying his speech live, Trump works in a promo for his golf club

Trump begins his speech by alleging an Iranian connection to the assassination attempts against him and calls for Apple to "open the six phones from the second lunatic."

"They had no problem breaking into the apps of the J6 hostages," Trump adds

Trump says that if he was president he would threaten to blow Iran "to smithereens"

fresh off the stock market closing at a record high for the fourth straight day, Trump claims "the economy is doing really, really badly"

Trump lies that migrants have done a "hostile takeover" of Springfield

ranting about Kamala Harris and McDonald's has become a daily thing for Trump

Trump calls for a federal investigation into jobs reports being revised down

Fox News cuts away from Trump's speech after he goes on a lengthy rant about the allegedly declining quality of furniture

Trump: "All your furniture-makers are going to come back and come back bigger and stronger and better than ever before. They're mostly gone. They're all coming back. This is why people in countries want to kill me."

Trump: "Over the years I've been into politics, but mostly on the other side. Like writing checks for politicians. Campaign contributions. Extremely legal."

Trump on the 2020 election "They beat us by a whisker."

Trump lies that migrants are "literally taking over those towns -- hundreds of towns and cities throughout our country. Including the big ones. Look at New York."

Trump on migrants: "They come from parts of Europe. They come into our country. Many of them are major, major criminals. Murderers."

Trump: "The jobs are going to illegal migrants that came into our country illegally. Our Black population all over the country, our Hispanic population, are losing their jobs."

Trump claims that "thousands" of "rough terrorists" are coming into the country

Trump: "If any senior doesn't vote for Trump, we're gonna have to send you to a psychiatrist to have your head examined."

In this two minute clip, Trump's brain flits from the war in Ukraine to fear-mongering about world war 3 to shitting on electric tanks to Elon Musk.

Trump says Zelenskyy is "making little nasty aspersions toward your favorite president -- me" then adds that he "got along very well with Putin."

"He's probably the greatest salesman on earth," Trump adds derisively of Zelenskyy

Trump claims Ukraine could've "given up a little bit" and everybody would be better off

He then criticizes Zelenskyy for "refusing to make a deal"

Trump complains at length about Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize but then claims, "I don't care about that." (Seems like he cares!)

Trump's rant in North Carolina is over. If you appreciate me watching it so you didn't have to, please show love by signing up for my newsletter. We're doing lots of great work at PN and paid subscribers make my work possible. Thanks. publicnotice.co/subscribe

I'll be tweeting clips from @PatrioticMills's "How to Beat the Broligarchs" event this morning in this thread as part of my partnership with @SnapStream. Follow along!

Elizabeth Wilkins: "People are looking for different ideas. The bad version is that an undermining of people's faith in democracy leads to authoritarianism. The good version is that we get together to think about what we need in terms of power the ideas and the people to create a new common sense -- one that brings us back for the modern era to that marriage of democracy and capitalism, where democracy shapes markets for the public good."

@PatrioticMills @SnapStream Patriotic Millionaires founder Erica Payne: "Here's what happened. Doesn't matter who's in charge. Tax rates for the rich always go down."

Maria Bartiromo on a weaker than expected February jobs report: "The jobs picture is weakening. Weaker than expected jobs again in the month of February tells you that the Fed is gonna cut rates!"

BARTIROMO: We've got a meeting coming up. Does anyone on this panel think the Fed is gonna cut rates at the next meeting?

STEPHEN MOORE: Well, I don't think they should. I just don't see a case for lower interest rates right now. We still have inflation at the 3-4% range.

BARTIROMO: True

Bartiromo: "It would be Biden's recession."

Wyden: "Mr Kennedy has embraced conspiracy theories, quacks, charlatans, especially when it comes to the safety and efficacy of vaccines. He has made it his life's work to sow doubt and to discourage parents from getting their kids lifesaving vaccines. It has been lucrative for him."

Sen. Roger Wicker: "This nomination is unconventional, just like that New York developer who rode down the escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy for president. That may be what makes Mr. Hegseth an excellent choice."
