Betty MacDonald fan club organizer Astrid Lund: Trump insults President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi. He once again mocked Harris' intelligence and repeatedly attacked transgender people. Donald Trump's undignified behavior once again shows that he is completely unsuitable for the office of American president. I take my hat off to many Republicans who are supporting Kamala Harris in this crucial situation and thereby protecting the U.S. and save the world from this very dangerous, old, convicted man!

Smith Memorial Dinner divided opinions. There were cheers and boos in the audience. Donald Trump's appearance at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner sparked mixed reactions in the audience. While some of those present cheered him, there were also clear boos. His speech was full of insults against high-ranking Democrats such as President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi. He again mocked Harris' intelligence and repeatedly attacked transgender people. The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner is a traditional fundraising event that takes place every year in New York and raises money for Catholic charities. Prominent politicians and personalities appear and give humorous speeches. What was particularly unusual about the event was that Trump did not make any jokes at his own expense. "It's tradition that I tell a few self-deprecating jokes," said the Republican. "So here we go: Nope! I have nothing, there's nothing to say." Instead, he portrayed himself as a victim: "There has never been a president who has been treated as badly as I have," said Trump, saying that he had suffered more than Abraham Lincoln. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was not present at the event because she was making several campaign appearances in the important "swing state" of Wisconsin that day. She nevertheless appeared on screens at the event with a pre-recorded video address. ------------------- BERLIN LIVE 97.6K followers Republican campaigns for Harris - "We can no longer afford Trump" Article by Alexander Riechelmann • 10 hours • 2 minutes reading time In recent days, Donald Trump's polls have been rising again. He has been able to slowly catch up with Kamala Harris, particularly in some swing states (i.e. states that tend to be undecided). But many Republicans are supporting the Vice President and helping her to extend her lead. They do not want Trump, a convicted criminal, to run for a second term. Many Republicans want to vote for Kamala Harris in the US election. Republicans support Harris The race for the "swing states" remains exciting. She is in the lead in states like Wisconsin and Michigan. She is even leading in Pennsylvania with a razor-thin lead. The state is considered the most important swing state because 19 electoral votes can be won there. Whoever wins Pennsylvania usually wins the US election. The state has a particularly high number of swing voters who vote Republican or Democratic in the US elections. In order to increase the lead for the Vice President there, the group "Republicans for Harris" is getting involved for the first time. Republican Leah Fox is also there, campaigning for Harris in Pennsylvania. Instead of supporting their candidate Donald Trump, they don't care about the ex-president and his MAGA campaign. "We can't afford another four years of Trump," she explains to ARD's "Weltspiegel". It is now a matter of "not electing the criminal as president." A lot of persuasion for Vice President In Pennsylvania, just a few thousand votes make the difference. That's why Leah wants to get as many undecided people as possible on Harris' side in the next few weeks. "I can't imagine how anyone can still be undecided. I'm trying everything to convince them and bring them to their senses," says Leah. ----------------------------------------------- Betty MacDonald Fan Club Items - Comments b> “UNESCO City of Literature: Wolfgang Hampel, author of 'Satire is my favorite animal' with "Poetry on the go" and the nostalgic train "Sixty" on a tour in Heidelberg, read to an enthusiastic audience on Friday, October 11, 2024------- In a cooperation between the Cultural Office of the City of Heidelberg and Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH (rnv), the nostalgic train "Sixty", built in 1963 and fully restored for modern use, rolled along the Heidelberg rails and described four entertaining tours between the districts of Bergheim and Handschuhsheim.
