I'm going to put together a thread on Trump's town hall event in Fayetteville North Carolina. Follow along for clips and commentary.

Let me note up top that if you appreciate me watching Trump so you don't have to, I'd appreciate you subscribing to my newsletter. I think you'll enjoy Public Notice and paid subscribers make my work possible. publicnotice.co/subscribe

beyond parody -- Trump begins his event in North Carolina by vowing to restore Confederate names to renamed military facilities

after vowing to restore Confederate names to military bases, Trump lies about the government giving money to migrants and hence not having funds for disaster relief

Remember Diamond (RIP) and Silk? Well, Silk is on stage at the Trump event attacking "Tampon Timmy"

Q: How soon will you start deporting the murderers?

TRUMP: Many of these people murdered more than one person ... ooh, the chart.. Do you have something up here that could show?

"We'll fire their asses" -- Trump vows to fire military officials involved in covid vaccine mandates

Trump's hue is especially demonic tonight

Trump in North Carolina: "I think I just learned the secret to winning absolutely and by massive margins. I'm gonna promise to you that we're gonna change the name back to Fort Bragg. This great looking soldier just accidentally said Fort Liberty & he got booed out of the place"

Trump on world leaders: "They think I was crazy, and that's a good thing to think."

you absolutely can't make it up -- a Vietnam vet presents Trump with a Purple Heart he received for his service there (Trump famously avoided serving in Vietnam because of bone spurs)

Anna Paulina Luna accuses the media at the Trump event of not helping hurricane victims because they live in red areas, castigating them to "do your job and do better." Trump then pivots to praising Elon Musk, but he has a hard time remembering "Starlink."

Trump on (losing) the 2020 election: "We had a terrible election. We're not gonna let that happen again. We can't even lat that happen again. What a shame that was."

the last question Trump takes is from a Space Force veteran who says he was fired for criticizing DEI trainings. Trump tells the guy he will put him on a task force to root out DEI in the military.

after Lara Trump speaks, Trump murders irony anew by claiming "I'm very conscience of nepotism."

Trump ends the event in North Carolina by once again shouting out Confederates: "Thank you everybody from Fort Bragg!"

That's it for the Trump town hall in NC. If you appreciate me watching so you didn't have to, pls support what I do by signing up for PN. We're publishing strong indy political coverage to your inbox 5 times a week & paid subscribers make my work possible 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."
