The media gives Trump less coverage and then almost exclusively of the negative variety, which in turn leads to stories asserting his campaign is faltering. The logic is circular and self-fulfilling and, like the Chicago convention's stage-managed reverence for Joe Biden, not to be taken seriously

After her ridiculously biased, inept, expensive and slickly misleading three-part effort to nail Donald Trump as Putin's puppet, it's hard to see how anyone could take seriously anything she says or claims. Well anyone not part of ABC management that is, because the national broadcaster continues to indulge her unhinged editorialising, as evidenced by her recent fan-girl interview with Nancy Pelosi

The Deep State loathes Trump. Not only is he an outsider who barged into their cosy world of crony politics, but he threatens their hegemony and says he will take it from them with mass sackings and changes of personnel, and they are terrified he will. That is why they want him stopped at any price, even if it requires an assassin's bullet

Josh Shapiro is an observant Jew, which would appear the sole reason he was blackballed for the Veep slot. His background and faith also made him a cynically useful tool for the Harris campaign to deploy, demean, exploit and set aside, which is precisely what has happened.

Kamala Harris was a 29-year-old assistant district attorney just restarting her career after a second shot at the bar exam when California power-broker Willie Brown, 30 years her senior and the original Slick Willie, touched his lover with a magic wand. Up she floated, and floated, and has kept right on floating

What specific actions do his detractors see Trump taking to 'destroy our democracy'? Might he dissolve the Congress, sack the Supreme Court justices he doesn’t like, declare himself a dictator for life? To venture such suggestions, as many on the Left are doing, is to indulge the invincible stupidity that is part and parcel of Trump Derangement Syndrome

A President has been to all intents and purposes deposed, an ex-President has escaped death by millimetres and Madame Kamala Cackle, in a come from behind grab for the gold worthy of Steven Bradbury, is now commander in chief in all but name. No need to apologise for seeing dark players in the shadows

It is fair enough for Trump to believe, as he told the GOP convention, that he was spared the sniper’s bullet to do great things for America and take evict demonic Democrats. Okay, if 'demonic' is too hard for you to swallow, let us agree their actions are not on the side of the angels

Worth noting are the parallels between America and Australia. Like the Democrats, Labor was the party of the blue-collar worker, but today remains so in name only. In Trump, many Americans see a man prepared to defend their values and oppose the elites' wokeism that has inundated so many aspects of American life

Within minutes of the attempt on Donald Trump's life, Joe Biden's handlers suspended all campaign advertising. They had no choice. As demonstrated in the weeks leading up to the shooting, the Democrats' entire campaign has been based on painting the challenger as a monster in the Hitlerian mould. What tack Biden takes now is anyone's guess

Donald Trump has been clipped by a bullet that bloodied his ear at a Pennsylvania rally. Reports are sketchy, but while the gunman's identity remains unknown, there is no doubt who loaded his gun. You can't spend years branding a political opponent as Hitler 2.0 and not expect some to take it seriously

Donald Trump's coffers overflowed after the 'hush trial' and more cash surged in when the debate laid bare an incoherent old man. Now, amid his own party's escalating campaign to winkle Biden out of the Oval Office, the Democrats' donors are on strike. Today's press conference is his last, best, slim hope
