President Trump's Threats: A Distraction from the Real Issues
Senator Elissa Slotkin has come out firing in response to President Donald Trump's recent attacks on her and five other Democratic senators. The six lawmakers, who released a joint statement encouraging military personnel to disregard illegal orders, were targeted by Trump with death penalty threats, labeling their actions "sedition."
However, Slotkin believes the president's behavior is intended to divert attention from more pressing matters, such as the ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's associates and the nation's faltering economy. During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," she stated that Trump is trying to shift the conversation away from his own performance.
Slotkin drew a striking parallel between Trump's tactics and those employed by former President Joe Biden. When Biden highlighted the country's economic performance during times of financial strain, Slotkin noted that many Americans remain skeptical, pointing out that "the American public isn't stupid." This sentiment was echoed when Trump tweeted about the economy being in the best shape it has ever been.
The senator also expressed concern over Trump's attack on the lawmakers' security, citing a recent bomb threat directed at her Michigan home. Slotkin credited the swift response of local law enforcement with foiling the attempt, and emphasized that the U.S. Capitol Police would continue to investigate the incident.
Ultimately, Slotkin sees Trump's behavior as an attempt to manipulate public opinion and obscure his own failures. As she astutely observed, "He's trying to distract us from the big stories of last week."

Trump thinks he can just threaten people and expect everyone to forget about all the other stuff going on? Like, come on, it's not that hard to admit when you're not doing a good job. And now he's trying to compare himself to Biden like that's gonna make him look better? 
I mean, we get it, Joe had his own issues too, but at least he didn't try to gaslight the whole country about what's going on in the economy. Trump's just trying to cover his own tracks and keep everyone distracted while he messes things up even more... and honestly, it's not gonna work. The American public isn't stupid, like Slotkin said, we can see right through this guy's BS. 
. Newsflash: we're not buying it.
. Meanwhile, real issues are getting lost in the noise... like that Epstein investigation, for example. And have you seen the state of the country's finances lately? 
It's like Trump is playing a game of hide-and-seek with reality, hoping we won't notice the chaos behind the scenes 
.
.
I mean, what a total shocker that President Trump is trying to distract us from his own issues with death threats 
. Like, who wouldn't want to shift the conversation to his economic record when your approval ratings are tanking and people are literally fleeing the country 
? And oh boy, drawing parallels between him and Joe Biden? That's just rich... 
. Can't wait to see how this all plays out – I'm sure Trump's economic record will be the real winner here 
has anyone seen any progress on those fronts? it's like trump thinks we're all just gonna forget about everything he's done wrong because of some empty threat from him... newsflash, trump: the american public isn't stupid 
! I mean, can't he just focus on the real issues? The economy is still struggling and that Epstein investigation is still ongoing. It's like he thinks we're all just gonna forget about it because he says so 
. The fact that he's attacking lawmakers' security is just another red flag 
. Can't we all just get back on track and talk about the issues that actually matter? #TrumpIsDistractingUs #EconomyMatters #StopThePolitics
Trump thinks he can just threaten people and get away with it? Like, no one takes that seriously anymore 
. But can't we just focus on one thing at a time? The economy is a mess and nobody seems to know what's going on with it 
. And don't even get me started on Epstein's associates... that's some crazy stuff 
.
! Ugh, I'm so confused 
. We can see through all that spin and BS for what it is – a desperate attempt to manipulate public opinion.
. That bomb threat at Slotkin's Michigan home? That's some serious stuff, man 
. And she's right to say that the U.S. Capitol Police are on the case 
. This isn't just about Trump's personal attacks – it's about creating a climate of fear and intimidation 
.
!
did you know that 70% of Americans trust the FBI, but only 22% trust Trump? It's clear he's trying to shift attention from his own failures. Slotkin is right on point with her assessment... 
he's more worried about keeping himself in power than actually fixing our economy 
. Meanwhile, the latest Q2 GDP report revealed a 2.1% growth rate, down from 3.8% in Q4 2022 
. Trump's attempts to discredit his opponents have a 42% chance of boosting public confidence in the Senate, according to our latest poll 
.
. But at the same time, I think we need to be careful not to get too caught up in the drama 
anyway, slotkin's all like "hey, trump's trying 2 shift the convo" and i'm all 
same, girl 
. btw, trumps econ tweet was low
