Fortune presents... Six-year-old Ada plays her favourite song. Not funny, but let's add some energy!
Donald Trump is panicking as the MAGA brand is currently in a death spiral, so much so that
that Donald Trump is saying to call it Trumplican and no longer call it MAGA. Now, Donald Trump is particularly terrified about a special election set to take place in Tennessee tomorrow. That is a special election between Tennessee State Representative Afton Bain, who's the Democratic candidate, and Matt Van Epps, the MAGA Republican candidate. This is for Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, And it follows a MAGA Republican Congress member, Mark Green, resigning his seat. Now, Tennessee's 7th is a plus 22 Trump district. However, the polls show it neck and neck, and this could be a massive upset for where MAGA can be absolutely humiliated. A Democrat has not won Tennessee's seventh since 1996, and Tennessee has done everything possible since that time to rig its maps with the most offensive gerrymandering imaginable to try to keep Republican rule there permanent.
But the Democrat, Afton Bain, is appealing to people by talking about affordability and about all of the promises that that Donald Trump did not fulfill all of the fraud that Donald Trump engages in every single day. So we see Donald Trump panicking. You know, as I said, he's saying, call us Trumplicans. He's also saying, to the great people of Tennessee 7th District who gave me record-setting wins in each of three elections, I'm asking you, get out and vote for Matt Van Epps.
Why is Trump rebranding MAGA as 'Trumplicans' ahead of the Tennessee special election?
He will be a great congressman. And unlike his opponent, he cherishes Christianity and country music. She hates them both. This is a very pivotal election. The whole world is watching. Make America Great Again! Now, Matt Van Epps would be more of the same PPP, Pedo Protection Program. Now, Donald Trump has turned the Republican Party into a massive coverup ring for a child sex trafficking ring as they support covering up the Epstein files. And of course they also support ripping away healthcare from the American people and making people's lives unaffordable and psychologically torturing people who live paycheck to paycheck, who can't pay their rent. But, Donald Trump wants to invoke Christianity while he's engaged in the most disgusting life imaginable.
He's a felon. He's a sexual abuser. He's on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women. And I can go on about him being a fraudster, but this is who Donald Trump is. Then Donald Trump posts the following. I'm asking all America First patriots in Tennessee's seventh congressional district who haven't voted yet, please get out and vote on election day, Tuesday, December 2nd, for a phenomenal candidate, Matt Van Epps. Matt is fighting against a woman who hates Christianity, will take away your guns, wants open borders, transgender for everybody. men and women's sports, and openly disdains country music. She said all of these things precisely and without question. It's on tape. Do not take this race for granted.
The radical left Democrats are spending a fortune to beat one of the best candidates we ever had, Matt Van Epps. You can win this election for Matt. Get out and vote for Matt Van Epps, who has my complete and total endorsement. He will never let you down. And Donald Trump's been making post after post about Tennessee's seventh congressional district now. as Adam Carlson wrote, even if Republicans hold the seat, seeing them sweat this much over a Trump plus 22 district that no Democratic presidential candidate has won since 1996 is so much fun. But let's just talk about what's happening with the Republican Party as well right now.
What makes Tennessee’s 7th District a surprising battleground for Democrats?
We talked about how Troy Nels, a MAGA Republican candidate from Texas who considered himself ultra MAGA And he'd walk around the halls of Congress. He's a Congress member wearing like these cutoff t-shirts while wearing American flag, Trump bow ties and Trump's face on his shirt saying never surrender while smoking cigars. You can't make up these. cartoonishly villainous weirdos over here.
