In his Nevada rally, Trump repeated Stephen Miller's line: “Within moments of my inauguration, we will begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. We have no choice.”
At one point, Trump said, "We got Mexico to send two thousand, twenty eight thousand troops."
Bruce Heyman, former United States Ambassador to Canada, said it was called "new math." Former federal and state prosecutor Ron Filipkowski called the former president "Dementia Trump." Trump biographer Tim O'Brien wrote, "Numbers and math have never been his strengths." Keith Olbermann wrote, "Your daily dose of Dementia J. Trump."
In another instance, Trump said he will bring "peace through earth" instead of his traditional slogan of "peace through strength." One social media user simply wrote, "Huh?" Another verified user wrote, "As opposed thru Mars?"

"Look at yesterday!" -- this is as close as Trump has come to mentioning E Jean Carroll
On Saturday, he’ll campaign in Nevada, a critical battleground state. But first he’ll need at least a handful of his supporters to turn out for the nominating caucuses in the state on Feb. 8 — and his last remaining Republican rival for the nomination, Nikki Haley, is doing everything she can to remind him she’s still in the race even if they won’t meet head-to-head in Nevada.
Off the trail on Friday, Ms. Haley assailed Mr. Trump as “unhinged” on Fox News as she continued to try and bait him into a one-on-one debate. Mr. Trump was in a New York City courtroom, but his campaign sent out email blasts pointing to articles that seemed to bolster the case that she should cede the race to him, and attacking her on immigration.
“There’s one thing Americans know — Nikki will always put America last,” Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, wrote.
There are two contests coming up in Nevada: the caucuses, and a presidential primary on Feb. 6. The presidential primary features Ms. Haley on the ballot, but won’t count toward the G.O.P. nomination, so she is skipping the state entirely. The caucuses feature Mr. Trump without a single major competitor — and that’s the contest that will determine who gets the state’s delegate prize.
Critics have argued that the state party set up the caucuses to benefit Mr. Trump — which the party denies.

George Conway on Donald Trump:
He can’t control himself because he’s a deeply disturbed, a deeply morally bereft human being who has no conscience, has no morality, has no empathy, has no no remorse, and is sadistic as we saw during the trial and the jurors saw in the trial, right in front of their very eyes – that he had nothing but contempt for the woman that he raped and libeled and defamed so many times. This is a sick man. He is a bad man.
And what’s most disturbing about this is that so many people make this about politics – that they want to support him for whatever reason or because they’ve done it in the past. And they pretend that he is not who he is. And many of them, I mean, some of them are ignoramuses. But many of them in the upper reaches of his political party know better. They know who he is. They talk about who he is behind closed doors. They know he is an evil man. They know he is a sick man. They talk about his mental deficiencies, his psychological disorders. They talk about what a pathological liar he is.
And then, when somebody asked him to go on the record to talk about it, “Oh, no comment. I didn’t see the tweet.” They say, like a presidential candidate recently did, “I haven’t been following the case,” or something like that. And they’re all lying. Lying to protect a pathological liar. And it’s about time that these people look themselves in the mirror and start telling the truth, ok? It’s better for them, in the long run, to start telling the truth and admit that they’ve been covering up for a sexual predator, a criminal, a thief, a man who does not deserve to hold any office, let alone the highest office in the land. But this is again, it’s not about politics. It’s about right and wrong. And people need to start looking at it that way.

From Excess Hollywood to Bergdorf Goodman’s, ultimately the rapist must be disarmed with your vote.
Yesterday, former President Trump was convicted of defaming E. Jean Carroll, after being found liable of sexually abusing her last year, and ordered to pay her $83.3M. Also yesterday, former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was sentenced to prison for contempt of court. Navarro’s is just 1 of over 700 prison sentences that have come from efforts to help Trump overturn the 2020 election.
Obama’s tan suit owned the news cycle for a week, but in a day or two we won’t be talking about a current presidential nominee’s sexual abuse convictions or prison time for attempting to overthrow democracy anymore because something even more outrageous will have happened. This is what I mean when I say we’re living through “unprecedented times.”
