An interesting case in which an attack ad backfired on the candidate who made it.  Do voters see through ugliness? 

 This story discusses what we have known all along.  The AI boom is a bubble and it will pop with consequences for the economy and Silicon Valley.

The Russians blame Ukraine for breaking Trump's energy ceasefire when, in fact, the Russians never kept it and Ukraine acted in self-defense.  Putin is evil. Trump is a dupe.

How is Trump going to spin this?  A fake poll?  Or, will he simply choose to ignore it?
