Historian Douglas Brinkley After Trump Assassination Attempts: ‘Doomsday’ If Trump Wins

Left-wing presidential historian Douglas Brinkley claimed on Monday — following two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump — that people needed to “wake up” because it would be a “doomsday scenario” if Trump were to win again in November.

Brinkley made the unfounded remarks on far-left MNSBC during an appearance on “Morning Joe” — a show that is so extreme with its hatred of Trump that it was pulled off air for a day after Trump was shot in Pennsylvania because the network was concerned that inappropriate comments would be made.

When asked by co-host Joe Scarborough what was at stake with 45 days left in the election, Brinkley responded, “American democracy, nothing less.”

“Donald Trump is usurper of democracy. He’s a wrecking ball,” he said. “You’ve been talking today rightfully reminding people of January 6 but the hellscape he has developed of dividing our country, we have a chance to unite. Kamala Harris is doing an incredible job, momentum is her way. I think it’s just getting some more young people engaged. North Carolina is the state. I know everybody is waiting on Pennsylvania but North Carolina is really interesting that Harris has a chance of winning there.”

“If you are talking about the danger, the inherent danger of Donald Trump, he’s radioactive,” he continued. “He wants to come in and gut government because it’s rhetoric that sounds good. You start trying to get rid of civil service, collapse the federal government, you are going to find a country in disarray.”

He concluded: “With the new prerogative the courts gave that presidents are above the law, we are walking into a doomsday scenario if Trump gets in. People better wake up, take the smelling salts and pay attention right now, these next days are going to be fast.”

Trump Buys Groceries For Pennsylvania Mom, Promises To Bring Prices Down

Former President Donald Trump surprised a Pennsylvania mother of three, buying her groceries when he stepped into a small market ahead of his Monday campaign stop in Indiana, PA.

Trump made a stop at Sprankles Market in nearby Kittanning earlier in the day, where he spoke to a number of fans and supporters.

The former president also made a beeline for a popcorn display, grabbing a large bag and handing it off to a staffer: “Oh, look, I gotta get some of this!”

“Look at that stuff,” he said, prompting laughs. “This is what I want. We gotta get it.”

“My mom just got a bag of that, actually,” someone else commented.

“Is it good stuff? Good?” Trump asked.

“She says it’s the best,” the man replied. “She says it’s the best.”

“Is that the best?” Trump asked. “If it is, I’ll be sending — I’ll be in Washington, D.C., hopefully in the Oval Office, I’ll send for popcorn.”

Trump paid for his popcorn, handing the cashier his money and saying, “Take the rest of it.” He then turned to the register behind him, where another customer was checking out with her groceries, and tossed a bill onto the conveyor belt in front of her.

“Here, it’s going to go down a little bit,” he said of her grocery bill. She smiled and picked up the bill, and Trump added, “It just went down a hundred bucks.”

“Thank you so much!” she replied.

“We’ll do that for you from the White House,” Trump said, waving and adding, “All right, bye. Nice seeing everybody …”

Turning back to the woman and her kids, he continued, “Beautiful … beautiful, they’re your kids?”

“Yes, they are,” she said. “Three boys.”

“Perfecto. Perfecto,” was Trump’s reply.
