Obama Brutally Destroys & Triggers Trump
Former President Barack Obama held a drive-in rally for Joe Biden in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in what was a refreshing political event. Unlike the Trump rallies, which have thousands of people packed together with few masks and no social distancing, the Obama appearance was a sensible, safe event that didn’t put people at unnecessary risk. During the speech, Obama built on some of the points he made during his DNC address, talking about how Trump inherited a booming economy and, like with everything else he inherited in his life, he bungled it. Obama also discussed the endless Trump scandals and how if any of them happened under his administration Fox News would lose their minds.
A major theme of Obama’s speech was that if Joe Biden wins the presidency, politics will go back to normal instead of the rapid-paced reality TV show that has been the last four years. Obama expressed how it will be nice to have a president who doesn’t retweet baseless conspiracy theories, like the one about how Navy SEALs didn’t actually kill Osama bin Laden. Funny enough, Trump made Obama’s point for him in real time, tweeting out a Breitbart article about another Obama conspiracy theory. The 44th President is a highly effective campaigner and it would be wise for the Biden campaign to continue using him in the final stretch of the election.
Rudy Giuliani Caught with Hand In Pants with Borat's Daughter
Rudy Giuliani has been in the news recently for his supposed exposés of Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Giuliani is in the news now for a totally different reason and this time he wishes he wasn’t. Sacha Baron Cohen’s second Borat film comes out tomorrow and the movie contains a scene wherein a character playing Borat’s daughter gets Giuliani in a compromising position at a hotel. The woman reportedly removes Rudy’s microphone after an interview, at which point Rudy leans back on a bed and starts taking off his pants and fondling himself. At this point, Baron Cohen, as his Borat character, runs into the room in ridiculous attire yelling and causing a scene.
Giuliani has tried to get ahead of this story, posting on Twitter, “The Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment. At no time before, during, or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sacha Baron Cohen implies otherwise he is a stone-cold liar." People familiar with the movie claim that the scene is even worse than described, something we will find out tomorrow when it is released. If Rudy Giuliani has even a shred of credibility left, it’s likely to be taken away tomorrow by this boneheaded decision.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Has Undisclosed Chinese Bank Account
Another bombshell story has come out from the New York Times about Donald Trump’s taxes. The Times revealed this week that Trump has an undisclosed bank account in China and that he has a series of Chinese business pursuits. The Chinese bank account paid $188,000 in taxes from 2013 to 2015, which is a far greater amount than was paid by Trump to the American government in recent years. For all of this talk about Joe Biden being dominated by China and Trump being the right person to stand up to them, it’s clear that it’s Trump who’s the one hiding something and is potentially compromised.
