Elon Musk claimed Sunday that electing former President Donald Trump in November is the “only way” to save the country from the tyranny of Democrats and illegal migrants.

The billionaire SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO claimed the Democratic Party would naturalize enough non-citizens as voters during a Kamala Harris presidency to turn the US into a “one-party state.”

Changed headline from the site to be a bit more clear

Edit: to clarify the original headline makes it sound like taxes are 440% higher when it means taxes going to education are 440% higher

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has come under fire for its latest advert attacking Kamala Harris’ pro-trans views, once again parroting the former commander-in-chief’s claim that the Democratic nominee is funding gender-affirming surgeries for “illegal aliens”.

The advert was posted on Trump's social media channels on Friday (20 September), repeating his claims that Harris supports taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care for prisoners and undocumented immigrants.

The ad, branded "trans panic" by social media users, ends with the tagline: "Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you."

GLAAD president and chief executive Sarah Kate Ellis responded by telling The Advocate: "This reeks of desperation.... [voters have] "repeatedly rejected candidates who target transgender people and have strongly stated that they want extremists out of our doctors' offices and private lives.

JD Vance suffered yet another embarrassing set back on the campaign trail, after being denied entry to a restaurant where he was supposed to speak – and being forced to address supporters in the parking lot instead.

According to reports, after showing up to Primanti Bros in North Versailles, Pennsylvania, a restaurant worker told the press that cameras were not allowed and that they did not want a “campaign event.”

The restaurant was reportedly full of customers waiting to greet Vance, who canceled their food orders after learning he wasn’t welcome.
