Why would Iran want to damage Trump's campaign?

Interesting. -possible that the Iranians hacked into Trump's campaign?


—
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign said Saturday in a statement that it had been hacked.

Politico reported earlier Saturday that it had received emails from an anonymous account with documents from inside Trump’s campaign operation.

“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement to CNN.

Cheung pointed to a recent report published by Microsoft that said Iranian operatives had ramped up their attempts to influence and monitor the US presidential election by creating fake news outlets targeting liberal and conservative voters and by trying to hack an unnamed presidential campaign.

“On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a Vice Presidential nominee. This comes after recent reports of an Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump around the same time as the Butler, PA tragedy,” Cheung said, referring to the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally last month.

Cheung said, “The Iranians know that President Trump will stop their reign of terror just like he did in his first four years in the White House. Any media or news outlet reprinting documents or internal communications are doing the bidding of America’s enemies and doing exactly what they want.”

Iranian operatives have ramped up their attempts to influence and monitor the US presidential election by creating fake news outlets targeting liberal and conservative voters and by trying to hack an unnamed presidential campaign, Microsoft said in research published late Thursday.


One of the phony news sites allegedly created by Iranian operatives called former President Donald Trump an “opioid-pilled elephant in the MAGA china shop” and a “raving mad litigiosaur,” Microsoft researchers said.

Might I add, I don't think for a second Trump's campaign was hacked by Iran, that's as much a bullshit excuse as his plane had "mechanical failures" and couldn't land at an airport he owed money to :lol

Someone leaked from inside his campaign. It's literally falling apart for him, it's fantastic to watch this whole thing implode.

Another one came out :lol

The Republicans have said that any version of dressing in drag is considered "grooming", so how do they apply that mental gymnastics to JD?

By the way, I think there's no issue throwing on a wig for a laugh who cares, but they've made that bed of stupidity, now they have to sleep in it.

Please. Can’t they actually discuss anything meaningful? Like if you don’t agree with the way Trump proposes on some issues, convince voters how their version is actually better. Instead, we have these pointless attacks that obscure the actual truth: lefties have no fucking idea on policies.

Sorry. I forgot that Harris can’t talk for more than 2 minutes without teleprompter and pre-scripted with question provided to her. That’s what her supporters are capable of handling.

My bad.

I mean the most recent speech of Trump's that I watched, he never talked about policy. He just talked about how he doesn't care how to say Kamala Harris name and me me me me me the entire time. He never once said anything about the American people or what he would do if he was in office.

I'll give Vance some credit here, at least he's mentioned SOME policy. He got caught off guard when someone pointed out to him that his family tax credit plan was actually an idea Harris had floated 3 years ago though.

If you watch any of the Democratic conventions, the language is totally different, they're also not getting into detail about policy at this point in time, but at least they're talking about helping people and it's not just about them and what they want. Say what you want about dull tack Biden, his administration has put PLENTY of policy in play... and one of the main ones for border security, the Republicans shot it down just so they could enact it themselves when they're in office and Trump wanted to be able to keep it as a talking point running up to the election. Literally shooting themselves in the foot.
