Trump's Face Melts During Painfully Humiliating Convention Speech
The 2020 Republican National Convention wrapped up last night with Donald Trump accepting the GOP nomination and giving the final speech. The very location of this speech could be a legal issue because the White House is not supposed to be used for these overtly political events. Protesters could be heard in the background during the speech sounding sirens, reminding us that the country is more divided than it has been in a long time. People in the audience for Trump’s speech were reportedly not COVID tested and very few were wearing masks.
Trump painted his reelection as the last bastion against the “agitators” and “socialists” in the Democratic Party. He praised his administration’s job at handling the coronavirus, which is absurd because over 180,000 Americans have died from it so far. Trump promised to restore “patriotic education” to schools which sounds absolutely terrifying. He also spent much of the time rambling about how well the economy was doing before coronavirus and ignoring how poorly it’s doing now.
Why Can't We Get China to End Uyghur Camps?
A caller talks about US legislation that would require Chinese manufacturers doing business with the US to prove that their goods are not made with Uyghur forced labor. This is a conversation that has been largely ignored with everything going on in 2020 and US-China relations at a standstill. The next steps would be passing this legislation and President Trump or a President Biden labeling China’s treatment of the Uyghur population a genocide.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump Demands Pre-Debate DRUG TESTS for Himself & Joe Biden
Donald Trump is now calling for Joe Biden to take a drug test before debating him. Trump was apparently shocked that Biden was coherent in his final debate with Bernie Sanders and insinuated that he must have been on something. This sounds like a case of projection by Trump. It is Trump who has been long suspected of using “uppers.” It is Trump whose speeches are often manic and unhinged rantings. There is no chance that Trump and Biden are going to be taking drug tests before their debates. Trump is just being ridiculous like always.
