Is Donald Trump gearing up to blame old folks if he loses the
presidential election to Kamala Harris in November?

It sure sounded that way Thursday at a rally held by the former president
in Tucson, Arizona, where he took note of the changing demographic of his
supporters and wondered aloud if they will be to blame if he�s defeated
on Election Day.

�We have a lot of young people here,� Trump said. �My audiences, they�ve
gotten younger and younger, do you notice that?�

The crowd cheered as the 78-year-old former president basked in their
appreciation. But rather than embracing their support and using it as a
reason to emphasize his movement as a political movement focused on the
future, he pivoted to reassuring the audience that he hadn�t changed one
bit.

�Don�t worry, I still like the old people the best, I don�t care!� he
exclaimed, pointing at the supporters directly in front of him.

The audience roared even louder than before. Trump grew even more
animated.

�I don�t care, let that cost�all these young people,� he said, gesturing
to another section of the crowd. �Let that cost me the election. I like
the�I still like the old people the best. Got to stay with the people
that got you there, right?"

Indeed, the people who sent him to the White House in 2016 were older,
according to an examination of exit polling from his election victory
over Hillary Clinton performed by Pew Research. He fared well among 50-
to 64-year-old voters at that time, and even better with those aged 65
and older.

Trump�s hint that he's already gunning to blame young folks if he loses
in November followed the former president�s widely criticized debate
performance Tuesday night, when he floated bizarre debunked conspiracies
and failed to hit a home run, much less get on base.

Trump announced earlier Thursday that he declined to debate Harris again,
sparking widespread outrage and ridicule from Democrats who called him a
�chicken.� He told supporters at his Tucson rally that he was turning
down a rematch because he�s already done two�one against Joe Biden, which
he won on a mercy rule, and one against Harris, who arguably pitched a
shutout.

�And because they were successful, there will be no third debate,� he
said as the crowd cheered.

But his actions suggested otherwise. He has slammed the debate�s
moderators, David Muir and Linsey Davis, and blamed ABC News for bias
against him. He suggested the network �has taken a big hit, because these
two people are bad news."

A Rochester man is facing two felony charges after he allegedly shot a man in the leg Monday night.

Langston Miles Mercedes, 24, is charged in Olmsted County District Court with second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of ammunition/any firearm-conviction or adjudicated delinquent for a crime of violence. Both are felony charges.

At Mercedes' first appearance in court on the charges, Judge Robert Birnbaum set unconditional bail at $500,000 and conditional bail at $150,000.

Mercedes' next court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday, June 30.

Rochester police were called about 10 p.m. Monday, June 14, to The Gates of Rochester, 2015 41st St. NW, for a report of a shooting. A 27-year-old man suffered a single gunshot wound to a leg, according to Rochester Police Capt. Casey Moilanen.

Mercedes was arrested shortly after the incident on the 41st Street bridge crossing U.S. Highway 52. A gun was not found on him, but police did find a gun in a grassy area not far away that matched the description of the gun the suspect used, Moilanen said a day after the incident.

The incident occurred after a verbal argument between the 27-year-old man and Mercedes at a celebration for the man's birthday.

Mercedes is ineligible to possess a firearm due to a 2015 conviction for first-degree aggravated robbery in Hennepin County.

Life in a Republican Red State.

The alternate media confirmed Trump having sex with black men.

It's on X

Trumpers are obsessed with black people. Trump's erotic fantasies are well
known.

That's what happens when Trump accepts blacks into his party, it corrupts
them because all Trumpers are like that.

Must be some of the 25% of black men under 25 who support Trump. All of his
supporters are dirtbags.

Lesson learned: If you support Trump, you're a dirtbag.
