LIVE AT 5: Trump Threatens Reporters And Vivek Faces Backlash as Campaign Hits the Gutter
Donald Trump erupts at reporters, warning one to “be careful” before launching another blistering attack on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Somali Americans. Meanwhile, the Ohio governor’s race takes a deeply personal turn as a controversial attack ad targeting Democrat Amy Acton and featuring her estranged mother sparks outrage — even among conservatives.
Don breaks down the chaos, the personal attacks and the increasingly ugly political atmosphere ahead of the midterms.
Then, Congressman Ro Khanna joins Don to react to Trump’s comments about Omar, the Ohio campaign controversy and the president’s latest call for an investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
PLUS: Don and Congressman Ro Khanna are heading to Reno, Nevada, this Friday, October 23, at 1:30 PM PT, for a special conversation at the University of Nevada, Reno.

If Trump had been taught his mother’s native language – Scots Gaelic, B’ fheàrr dhut a bhith faiceallach !…… you’d better be careful ! 😂
But by the the time Donald was born in the US the language of money and greed was on Donald’s education future thanks to his dad. His relationship with his mother is another clear sign of how he regards women now.

Trump is the biggest disgrace in this country. For a man in his position, his behavior is pathetic. He tries to degrade honorable people. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why coherent officials allow him to proceed with destruction.

The danger of a baby being in the womb of a black mother is due to the lack of prenatal care available to women of color. This government is doing a disservice to families of color.

Whose more dishonest than he is?! His grandfather was deported from Germany for skipping out on mandatory military service. Friedrich tRump came to the US because he was a draft dodger. He made his money in the Yukon. When he went back to Germany, they said he could not stay because he didn't do his mandatory military service. He went to court and they deported him back to the USA.
