Donald Trump Jr. moves to be MAGA's new kingmaker (Axios)

Donald Trump Jr. and Fox News' FAA and Boeing attack is ableist

While conservatives feel compelled to wink-and-nod and avoid explicitly racist language when attacking racial diversity issues, they are more explicit in their arguments against hiring people with disabilities. They recycle the trope that has justified either not hiring people with disabilities or even paying them below the minimum wage: that disabled labor is somehow less or that they are not capable of doing their jobs. In attacking the FAA initiative, they're calling out DEI in an industry that's unspeakably miserable for people with disabilities...

'Thinking Isn't His Strength': Critics Scorch Donald Trump Jr.'s Wild COVID Claim | HuffPost Latest News

Weekly deaths due to COVID-19 are also down significantly in the U.S. from three years ago, as well (25,692 compared to the latest CDC numbers, 839). 

Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) also pointed to the stock market along with other metrics that Trump Jr. glossed over. 

The current unemployment rate sits at 3.7% compared to 6.3% in January 2021 and the U.S. was on track to see a historic decline in homicides last year. 

NBC News' Monica Alba recently reported on FBI data that shows crime in the U.S. went down "in almost every category" in 2023.

Trump Jr.’s claim of 6 million military hours spent on a ‘woke’ agenda - The Washington Post

… Notice the sneaky trick that Trump Jr. plays here. The vast majority of the "6 million man-hours" and the "White rage" comment concerned the attack on the Capitol by supporters of his father — an attack that the former president has defended and even seemed to celebrate. But his son does not make that clear. Instead he claims that this is all about a "woke agenda" imposed by the Biden administration...

A Long List of Shady Financial Mysteries Trump Still Refuses to Explain – Mother Jones

It seems that Donald Trump’s closing message for his reelection campaign during a time of pandemic and economic crisis is this: Hunter Biden. In recent days, he has jumped on a misleading New York Post story about the business dealings of Joe Biden’s son—an allegation promoted by Rudy Giuliani and linked to a Russian disinformation operation—and slammed the Bidens as a “corrupt family,” claiming “Joe Biden personifies the selfish and corrupt globalists.” At campaign rallies, he has led largely mask-free crowds in chants of “lock him up,” referring to Biden. And Trump has called on Biden to release “all” records related to his family’s business dealings, including any activity involving Russia and China.
