what will it take to sway your vote to trump?

Since I live in New York my vote luckily won’t make a difference since we’re a democratic state. So I’d switch it for 100k

Suspect Insulted Trump in Book, but Never Fired a Shot

The man, who faces two federal weapons charges, arrived at the former president’s golf course half a day before agents spotted him. He was passionate about Ukraine and self-published a book discussing assassination.

According to a criminal complaint, the suspect lurked in the woods near the former president’s golf course for nearly 12 hours before a Secret Service agent fired on him. The episode was the latest challenge for the embattled agency.

The defendant, Ryan W. Routh, 58, did not have Mr. Trump in his sightline and did not fire his semiautomatic rifle during the confrontation with the Secret Service on Sunday afternoon, the agency’s acting director, Ronald Rowe, said at a news conference. The F.B.I.’s top agent in Miami said the bureau had no information that Mr. Routh had been working with anybody else.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will face renewed pressure to step aside after his Liberals lost a Montreal stronghold in a special election late Monday night.

It’s the second consecutive defeat for Trudeau, who has insisted he has no plans to resign.

Canada’s Liberals have trailed their Conservative Party rivals nationally by a wide margin for the past year. The by-election loss is the latest sign the party could be doomed, so long as Trudeau remains at the helm.

At least three people were killed and more than 1,000 others including Hezbollah fighters, medics and Iran's envoy to Beirut were wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded across Lebanon, security sources told Reuters.

A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of conflict with Israel.

A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of conflict with Israel.

• Scores injured: At least nine people were killed and 2,800 wounded in an attack that targeted pagers held by members of Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the country’s health minister. Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was one of those injured, according to Iranian state media.
• Hezbollah blames Israel: The group said it holds Israel responsible for the deadly explosions, amid already increased tensions in the region. The Lebanese government also condemned the attack as “criminal Israeli aggression.”
• No comment from IDF: The Israeli military, which has engaged in tit-for-tat strikes with Hezbollah for months, said it would not be commenting on the incidents.
• Hospitals packed: At least 170 people injured are in critical condition, the health minister said, and many hospitals in southern Lebanon have exceeded capacity.
