US President Donald Trump, facing a fierce battle for reelection today, delivered words of encouragement to his campaign staff at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia Tuesday.

“We just got back. We had some incredible rallies and incredible times and I hear we’re doing very well in Florida, and we’re doing very well in Arizona, we’re doing incredibly well in Texas… I’m hearing we’re doing well all over,” Trump told his campaign staff.

Trump predicted that he would win today’s election. “We’re gonna have a great night and… much more importantly we’re gonna have a great four years.”

The president added that he feels “great” after holding a number of rallies in battleground states in the last days of the campaign.

“When you see rallies the likes of which in the history of this country, probably in the history of the world, nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump said. “There’s a tremendous love going on in this country and there’s really a tremendous unity… nobody’s ever seen that. Where you take an airport and the airport’s not big enough to hold the crowds. Nobody’s ever seen a thing like that.”

“Our opposition as you know would have a few people sitting in circles, and that’s ok, that’s not abnormal… But we would get crowds of 50,000 people, 45,000 people more. Nobody’s ever seen anything like that. So, it was an honor. They’re great people. These are people that they appreciate what we did and they also remember before I got there and before we all got there.”

“I really came here to thank you all and I’m gonna say and get immediately back to work,” Trump told his campaign staff.

Check through this whole thread. There had better be charges laid.

Former Turkish Prime Minister and former AKP party leader Ahmet Davutoğlu has brought together the leadership of his new political party (the “Future Party”) and called for new elections.

In his speech on November 1, 2020, he denounced Turkey’s decline into a form of “tribal state” characterised by “a lack of electoral opportunities”. He condemned the “culture of despotism” that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is bringing to the country.

Above all, he said that Erdoğan is the biggest threat that Europe has to face, worse than Covid-19.

Professor Davutoğlu is a professor specialising in international relations. In his book Stratejik derinlik: Türkiye ‘nin uluslararası konumu (Strategic Depth: Turkey’s International Situation), he describes a period of stabilisation (“zero problems with its neighbours”) followed by neo-Ottoman policies throughout the Muslim world; a policy he led from 2001 to 2016. Since being in opposition, he first condemned the personality cult of President Erdoğan and nowadays his claim to be recognised as the new Caliph of Islam in 2023.

A girl was forced to kneel in front of a group of “young people” in the small Belgian town of Geel and subsequently threatened and robbed by them, local news portal Sceptr reports.

The incident happened at the Geel train station, and while police — who were still conducting the investigation — did not reveal the attackers’ identity, their statements indicate that it could have been the work of immigrants.

Since yesterday, video images of the incident have been widely shared on social media. It shows how a young girl is forced to kneel in front of a group of young people who appear to be ecstatic about the situation. They have been made unrecognizable on the images so that the identity of the perpetrators is not clear.

The police have also begun an investigation after becoming aware of the video and details of the case.

“On Friday afternoon, an incident occurred at Geel station that is part of a broad and complex problem that starts with bullying and ends with criminal offenses,” the police described the facts to news portal HLN.

HLN reports that it is not the first time such an incident has taken place and that the suspects are already known by the police. 

“Everyone involved is known both in the more extensive issue and in this incident,” police said.

It is not clear whether the suspects have since been arrested and questioned.

President Donald Trump now narrowly leads former Vice President Joe Biden in multiple battleground states, according to polling data released by the Trafalgar Group Monday and Tuesday morning.

The polls show support for the president surging in some battleground states, including Nevada, where Trump lost to Hillary Clinton four years ago.

The latest Trafalgar poll, released Tuesday morning, gives Trump a razor-thin 0.7-point lead over Biden in Nevada, with Trump polling at 49.1% to Biden’s 48.4%.

That marks a 3-point swing in Trump’s favor over the last few days.

The previous Trafalgar Group poll, conducted on October 29th, showed Biden leading Trump 49.4% to 47.1%.

This is the first time this year that Trump has led Biden in a Nevada poll.

Of the 1,088,775 ballots already cast in Nevada, 39.5% have been cast by registered Democrats, with 36.1% cast by registered Republicans.

A second poll released by Trafalgar Tuesday morning shows Trump with a 2.1-point lead over Biden in Florida, 49.4% to 47.3%.

A third poll released Tuesday morning gives Trump a 4.3-point lead in Georgia, just under the 5-point margin Trump won the state by in 2016. According to the poll, Trump is projected to win the state 49.7% to 45.4%.

In Pennsylvania, Trump holds a 1.9-point lead, 47.8% to 45.9%, according to a poll released Monday evening by Trafalgar.

In Ohio, Trump leads by 4.8 points, 49.2% to 44.4% – far below the eight-point margin he won the state by in 2016.

Trump also leads Biden in Michigan, with 48.3% to Biden’s 45.8%.

In North Carolina, Trump has a slightly narrower lead of 2.1 points, 48.6% to 46.5%.
