Former President Donald Trump’s campaign said Saturday that some of its internal communications had been hacked.
The acknowledgment came after POLITICO began receiving emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s operation.
The campaign blamed “foreign sources hostile to the United States,” citing a Microsoft report on Friday that Iranian hackers “sent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign.” Microsoft did not identify the campaign targeted by the email and declined to comment Saturday. POLITICO has not independently verified the identity of the hacker or their motivation, and a Trump campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, declined to say if they had further information substantiating the campaigns’ suggestion that it was targeted by Iran.
“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Cheung said. “On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a vice presidential nominee.”
Change the name is that sentence from Trump to Biden and Republican to Democrat and y0u have Biden c. July 2024.I'm starting to wonder if Trump will still be the Republican candidate come November.
His poll numbers are dropping like rocks. His fan base is easily led. He's becoming increasingly irrational on the stump. How hard would it be for the rich and powerful who want to back a Republican winner in November to get rid of him?

You think he would be the one managing it?!?!Flipping between two livefeeds this morning, of both the candidates doing little rallies. The contrast is striking.
I'm starting to wonder whether Trump is mentally competent enough to manage a coup.
Obviously not. He will have an entire staff in the West Wing* to manage it on his behalf.You think he would be the one managing it?!?!Flipping between two livefeeds this morning, of both the candidates doing little rallies. The contrast is striking.

Trump's ship is sinking.

They should just tell him he led a coup, it succeeded and he is now Emperor of All Existence. Explain that the bars on his windows snd doors are for keeping the criminals thugs and rapists out… let him live out his days in self satisfied bliss.You think he would be the one managing it?!?!Flipping between two livefeeds this morning, of both the candidates doing little rallies.

But there is nothing stopping state legislatures from deciding that their delegates will be pledged to the top vote getter of The American People overall.

And the slide continues with betters!
No fucking way does Trump deserve such a light punishment. A cell with a TV where the only channel is one of Hillary Clinton reading out excerpts of The Audacity of Hope springs to mind as a more suitable arrangement.They should just tell him he led a coup, it succeeded and he is now Emperor of All Existence.

And they used it without permission. Celine Dion put out a statement skewering them for it. Having no respect is right on point though.
lol, not sure they’re all betting better.[from the Merriam-Webster desk:]

Yes. The better bettors are betting better!
Polymarket now shows just 52-46, but that's better than the 1-point lead I reported just hours ago!
