Trump Cheers as Man Repeatedly Punches Female Protester at Rally

3 weeks til the midterms. From a promised livestreamed execution to applause for a brutal beating, this is the Trumpian future we must reject Nov 3.

Cliff’s Note:

I was skimming news last night and saw it. A man violently assaulting a woman at a Trump rally to applause. Trump? He loved it.

I got the video & began writing—I knew I had to send it to you. It’s awful. Combined with plans for public execution, Iran, ICE? It’s even worse. I explain below.

It’s $42/yr during the next 3 weeks of our 30 days/30% off election sale—but the dedication & insider analysis is every day. Nov 3 the sale’s gone. Join us now.

My friends, just three weeks from today, to borrow a phrase, is endgame. Just 21 days from now, Americans decide whether Donald Trump gets two more years with that collection of crumpled styrofoam known as our current Congress. Or do we write a new end to our story? One of redemption, restitution and renaissance for American democracy.

As we said in our title and subtitle, Trump literally cheered on a man-ish creature who was beating a female protester at the rally in Youngstown, OH last night. For good measure, as Trump wouldn’t want to just be run-of-the-mill MAGA gross, gaudy, and gauche, he mocked the victim as “fat” and a “guy” as she was the one—not her assailants—being escorted out of the Reich-ish rally by the police.

We have Pete Hegseth planning livestreamed executions. Regular dehumanizing of Democrats by the President of the United States as a “threat from within.” We bomb countries. Ice violently assaults us. And at a campaign rally our Russian owned president cheers the Russian roulette of our republic—as he encourages government not by ballot, but billy club. Or bullet.

It would seem to signal Trump’s further descent into madness, as Democrats continue to improve their chances of a blowout by just letting Trump livestream his mouth. BUT… I’m not going to tell you how it ends on November 3. Nobody knows yet, and anyone who says they do is selling something.

But what I can tell you is what Blue Amp Media has: David Shuster who’s covered hundreds of elections. Me. I’ve worked on hundreds of them. And I can tell you how BAM will spend every one of the next 21 days: covering the 2026 election with dedication & urgency—like it matters more than anything—it does.

In 21 days, it must be blackjack for America.

So we’re doing something we only do a few times a year. A full year of Blue Amp Media is 30 percent off: $42 instead of $60. As 42 was the number proudly worn by Jackie Robinson, who changed our country in ways we can’t allow Republicans to turn back—it couldn’t seem more right.

That comes out to JUST $3.50 a month for:

• Breaking stories: a cover-up to hide men—from Ecuador & Colombia, NOT Venezuela—plucked from the Atlantic after we bombed their boat. An email we found in the Epstein files proving Trump’s ongoing relationship with him after his 2016 election, which Trump denied. Propaganda from Russia & Qatar to divide NATO & fuel antisemitism, we exposed. We broke all these stories for YOU.

• Amped Up with David Shuster and me

• World War Next with Olga Lautman & Jacob Kaarsbo, on what Putin is doing while Washington is distracted

• Tequila Talk with Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman who has had enough

• Epstein Update with Kait Justice & me.

• The Blue Letter, my letter to members.

• David Shuster’s Top 5 AI Funnies every Friday.

• Every live show, article, column infused with passion & humor, the full archive.

Blue Amp Media is funded by readers. Well over 3,000 of you already pay for it, and that’s the only reason we can say what we say. The only reason we can keep doing this—creating all this content for you. This price lasts til midnight ET election night, November 3.

Then it’s gone.

We can never thank you enough for your support. We can never tell you how important this community is to us. Thank you for all you do.
