Are Iowans coming to their senses?

I have avoided discussing politics recently. but at a personal level, I was disheartened in 2024 when voters from two "common sense" states I have lived in, Montana and Iowa, apparently voted for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris. I was encouraged this morning by the clip--I think it's from Meidas Touch--showing Iowans (I think they were largely Conservative Iowans) booing Trump's apologists when they essentially parroted Trump's ramblings. I'll have to talk to my Very Conservative Friend in Montana to see what he thinks of it all He is a miner and a common sense guy, and way more Conservative than I am. Did Trump really speak about "trophy wives" at a West Point graduation ceremony? I believe he really did. If you think (or don't think) that clip was AI generated, let us know in the comments. I admit that I saw it on a "Liberal" blog. It looked real to me. What are your thoughts about all this? Here's what I just watched.

I have not read about this here today. Trump´s new in my country now is how rich Trump´s boys were getting.It seems that the world will have to bear Trump for more than his natural life.

If you were a bank, would you loan money to Trump's family members? Maybe they're settings up so "the boys" can do business in the Middle East and Russia.

I ignore him as much as humanly possible. The worst thing you can do to a narcissist is not give him the attention he craves.

@TheHorse — if it weren’t reality it’d be a fabulously funny show.

I thought it was real but I wouldn't really know either and apparently he didn't shake hands with the graduates. And now Musk is pulling out of the Senate or somesuch. He has created so much havoc and now just walks away,.

He is an odd fella. I wonder if his Asperger's Syndrome gave him musical ability that is untapped. But I think there may be "critical periods" for musical development.

Trophy Wives - I have no idea if he really did and I could not tell AI generated stuff from the real thing. Nothing surprises me about Trump.

@TheHorse Yes. I have been fooled by AI though. I was sure something, rather someone was real And I was wrong

I had heard several different times that he said it, so I have just assumed it was real. It never occurred to me that it would be AI.

I am pretty sure it was real. It just seems kind of "over the top."

Apparently those were his words. Often with AI generated stuff, people will call it out immediately . . . but I haven't seen that at all. It was inappropriate rambling - that's what I think.

Trump says stupid things and have you noticed he says that is nasty a lot.

Farmers and ranchers are regretting their Trump vote, I would think. I saw that about the West Point speech- can you call it a speech?
