Donald Trump has claimed he coined the word “caravans” to describe groups of immigrants he called “murderers and rapists” in a speech in Ohio. The former president appeared to recount an earlier conversation, saying “you are not going to take these horrible convicts and other people that you have illegally released into our country and put them in trailers.” “I came up with that term, by the way,” Mr Trump claimed. “That was my term and fake news and many other terms we came up with.” “Crooked Hillary, we came to many terms,” he added. “The way Trump casually refers to immigrants as murderers and rapists is not new but remains remarkable,” tweeted journalist Aaron Rupar. “They don’t want to have these people,” Trump said, referring to the immigrants. “Many of them are murderers, rapists.”

Bill Clinton says GOP wins elections by finding something to ‘scare the living daylights out’ of swing voters
Former President Bill Clinton said Republicans do well in midterm elections because they usually find a way to scare swing voters. The former president appeared on Fareed Zakaria: GPS where the host asked him about whether Democrats could reverse the normal trend of the president’s party losing control of at least one chamber of Congress in midterm elections. “We could hold both houses, but we have to say the right things and we have to note that Republicans always close well,” he said. “Why? Because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of something.” Mr. Clinton pointed to how Republicans touted “critical race theory” taught in schools even though it wasn’t, which helped them win the governorship in Virginia a year after President Joe Biden won the commonwealth by double digits . “That’s what they did in 2021 when they made critical race theory sound worse than smallpox and it wasn’t taught in any public school in America,” he said. “But they didn’t care, they’re just scaring people.”

Author Kurt Eichenwald added that “this week, Trump posted QAnon memes, played QAnon-themed music at his rally, and stood by as the crowd raised their fingers in the QAnon salute. This is the presumptive leader of the GOP. Every Republican should be asked about this – and don’t let them get away with it. “Do you support QAnon?” “He’s gone full QAnon, and this cult knows it. Trump has always been mentally ill, but this is a whole new level. He’s totally gone crazy,” he tweeted. The author went on to articulate many of the strange theories within the movement.

Is the “weird” one-finger salute of Trump fans at the rally a tribute to QAnon?
Donald Trump supporters raised their fingers in a strange straight-arm salute as the former president spoke at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, to support Republican Senate candidate JD Vance. As dramatic music played in the background, Mr. Trump delved further into the depths of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory. Mr Trump spoke about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the issue of “fake news” and Hunter Biden’s laptop. Watchdog Media Matters noted that the song played at the rally appeared to be released under the name Wwg1wga, which is the QAnon slogan. It means “where one goes, we all go.” Media Matters researcher Alex Kaplan tweeted Saturday that “Trump used the song this summer in a campaign-style video he posted on Rumble and Truth Social.” “As they did when Trump previously used the song, QAnon figures claim that using the song brings them some sort of legitimacy,” he added.

Democrats, GOP neck-and-neck in new poll as Biden’s ratings rise, Trump’s ratings fall
A new NBC News poll shows voters are evenly split on whether they want Democrats or Republicans to control Congress, with President Joe Biden’s approval rating up and former President Donald Trump’s down. Republican consulting firm Public Opinion Strategies and Hart Research Associates surveyed 1,000 registered voters between September 9 and September 13. The poll had a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. Biden’s approval rating rose three points from August to 45 percent, his highest approval rating since October of last year. His approval rating fell three points to 52 percent. Mr. Biden’s improvement in the polls comes after a string of policy victories. Last month, Mr. Biden signed legislation to support semiconductor manufacturing in the United States as well as the Inflation Reduction Act, the United States’ largest investment in fighting climate change that would also allow Medicare to negotiate prices of medicines. Additionally, last month, Mr. Biden announced his plan to grant up to $10,000 worth of student debt relief for people making up to $125,000, with Pell Grant recipients receiving up to $20,000 in debt relief. This likely contributed to his approval rating among 18- to 34-year-olds rising from 36 to 48 percent.
