The Ann Coulter jokes are very much a relic of late 90s / 00 era transphobia, where someone being revealed to be trans is a punchline that should invoke disgust.

(24,017 posts)could be so bad that it would end a campaign.
There is a news story today about a US security leak regarding Israel's war plans. If Trump is in any way associated with it (he gets security briefs), that would end his campaign. Would not surprise me if he did something like that as a favor to Putin on behalf of Iran.
But, it's all speculation right now unless something is made public.

TommyT139
(620 posts)Before his 2016 run, there were some reporters looking for evidence of Trump being hospitalized in NYC for a mental health crisis, related to drugs (amphetamines).
Later, the guy who had posted the ask on Twitter backed off it and claimed it had been a coded signal to someone, some bullshit like that.
Someone somewhere has Trump's medical records...unless David Pecker and/or Trump burned them. Given the dates, the records may not have been scanned into electronic form.

And why is the right setting the stage for something that would be "campaign ending" for Trump?

Unless it's mingdbogglingly graphic video of something happening on stage somewhere, I can't see it being serious enough that Trump would bale out because of it. I can't really stretch my imagination enough to think of anything that would shame him to that extent, which is something to be thankful for, I guess.
I suppose it's always possible something big is due to break and a sensational and possibly blatantly AI-generated piece of evidence could be concocted and circulated to take off some of the heat - think Dan Rather and the cocked-up G.W. story.

(24,502 posts)Until we have really solid evidence in front of us, I have to assume this is at best a distraction. It could easily ruin the Harris/Walz campaign if they promoted such a story on the grounds of what turned out to be fake evidence.
Think about it: do you have too short a list of examples of TSF's "campaign-ending" repulsive, creepy, and criminal behavior? So short that you're inclined to go out on a limb to add another? Also, consider the source -- one of TSF's big donor families.
You don't have to take the bait. If it's real, it won't be prosecuted until next year, if at all. Let this one marinate for a week, come back to it later.
