| "None of the charges that Trump is facing from state prosecutors and federal special prosecutor Jack Smith would invalidate his 2024 presidential bid." | Negative | -30% Liberal |
| "Genocide Joe Biden, a president whose unpopularity traces in part to his corporatism - intimately related to openly plutocratic campaign finance practices authorized by the US constitutional order's God-like Supreme Court (see below) - is well behind Trump in the six contested states that absurdly determine presidential election outcomes under the democracy-flunking Electoral College." | Negative | -36% Liberal |

| "Walker might also have mentioned Trump's call for the extra-judicial execution of suspected shoplifters, the Trump campaign's pledge to build giant concentration camps for illegal migrants and asylum-seekers, Trump's promise to invade Mexico, Trump's claim that he wants to be a dictator for one day (whatever the F that means) because I want to build the wall and drill, drill, drill, the Trumps campaign's recruitment of an impressive network of think tanks and policy wonks who have worked up detailed and comprehensive plans for the capitalist white nationalist makeover of the federal government, and Trump's recently repeated white supremacist, blood and soil claims that non-white immigrants are spoiling white American pedigree and stock - poisoning our blood." | Negative | -44% Liberal |
