Trump is now questioning Nikki Haley’s eligibility to be president on the basis that Haley - a woman born in the US to naturalized American citizens - may not be a natural born citizen herself.

In political science jargon, this is known as ‘scared shitless’.

Well, we can't have another brown person -- especially a woman! -- running the country. Look at the mess that furriner Obamy left.

'The more the merrier': Internet welcomes move to take Donald Trump off Illinois and Massachusetts ballots (msn.com)

PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: On Thursday, January 4, groups of voters hailing from Illinois and Massachusetts submitted motions to exclude Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot, according to a report by CNN.

This adds to the growing list of states where the former president is facing a challenge to his candidacy under the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban.

If god has chosen him then he obviously doesn't need democracy.

Martin Sheen is tapping his former “West Wing” co-stars to help get the word out that he’s not supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s White House bid.

“There’s a story going around saying that Martin Sheen is supporting [Kennedy] for president,” Bradley Whitford, who played White House deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman on the long-running NBC political drama, wrote Thursday on social media.

“The story is incorrect,” Whitford wrote to his more than 475,000 followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Martin asked us to post this on his behalf,” Whitford said, before sharing a message from Sheen, who famously played “West Wing’s” fictional President Josiah Bartlet.

“I wholeheartedly support President Joe Biden and the democratic ticket in 2024,” Sheen said, according to Whitford.

A similar sentiment appeared on Sheen’s verified Instagram page, with a graphic on his Instagram Story saying, “I do not endorse RFK Jr nor will I be attending his party.” The Instagram post also reiterated Sheen’s support for Biden’s reelection bid.

The 83-year-old actor is the second high-profile figure in recent days to distance himself from Kennedy’s campaign. On Wednesday, singer Dionne Warwick said she didn’t agree to attend a fundraiser later this month for Kennedy, despite claims from a super PAC backing the White House hopeful listing her as a “well wisher guest.” Sheen’s name was also among the entertainers listed for the event.

Yeah there was something weird about seeing Michael Sheen being touted by Der Sturmer there, given that unlike Mike Tyson or Dionne Warwick, he's not insane.

I just ran a quick errand and saw a car with a Trump bumper sticker on it...not unusual in Texas. Instead of springing for a new sticker they had taken a black marker and covered Pence.

'Over the seas and over our land. And then they want us to have clean. I said wait, we're gonna be clean, but it's all flying. Just remember that, does that make sense? In other words, it's all coming through the currents through the air, they can name it.' - Donald Trump, outlining US energy policy.

"They have almost a billion dollar cost overrun on magnetic elevators. Now here's all I know about magnets: you take a glass of water, pour it on the magnet, and that's the end of the magnet. Why didn't they put John Deere people on it. Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere" - Donald Trump Jan 5, 2024.

"Over the seas and over our land. And then they want us to have clean. We're gonna be clean but it's all flying. Just remember that. Does that make sense? In other words it's all coming through the currents through the air. They can name it." - Also Donald Trump Jan 5 2024

"First they say, “Sir, how do you it? How do you do it? How do you wake up in the morning and put on your pants?” And I say “Well, I don’t think about it too much. I don’t want to think about it because if I think about it maybe I won’t want to do it. But I love it because we’re going to do something for this country that has never been done before. " - Yup, Donald Trump Jan 5, 2024

ETA - this is from the same speech that he told victims of mass shootings to "get over it."
