Everything Trump

A lot can happen in just 24 hours in TrumpWorld: Despite their defection from their party’s nominee Donald Trump, four Republican members of Congress have come crawling back to Trump after all had criticized him and one openly disavowed him, following the release of a lewd recording of Trump from 2005, the New York Times reports. This comes after most national polls show former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the lead, with Trump trailing behind by 8 points according to a post-debate Reuters / Ipsos poll. The embattled candidate has barely had time to recover from his latest scandal before two women came forward on Wednesday to accuse Trump of having made uninvited and unwanted physical advances toward them, according to the NYT and others. Trump’s lawyers are now reportedly preparing lawsuits against the Times and the Washington Post, according to unnamed sources at the Trump campaign speaking to CNN Money. A video from 1992 also emerged showing Trump speaking to a young girl, commenting as she walks away: “I’m going to be dating her in ten years. Can you believe it?” To top it all off, Trump is now tied in deeply Republican Utah with Sec. Clinton, a state which has not voted for a Democrat since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Why? Because unlike evangelicals, Mormons have shown in this election to vote along their stated values, of which Donald Trump is the pure antithesis, as explained by Vox.
