Trump Almost Falls to Floor at Disgusting Rally
Donald Trump is sick of pretending to take coronavirus seriously and that’s why he’s back to holding large campaign rallies. His latest political event was in Londonderry, New Hampshire and, of course, it was done totally irresponsibly with very little social distancing and few masks in sight. A major focus for Trump during the speech was the protests and violence occurring in cities like Portland and Kenosha. The President claimed left-wing protesters don’t even know why they’re protesting and don’t even know who George Floyd is.
Trump went on to talk about how well he is doing bringing back the US economy. In reality, we’re in a severe recession or even a depression with high unemployment and millions of Americans unable to pay their bills right now. The economy tends to do better under Democratic presidents if you look at GDP, the stock market, job creation, etc. But Trump claims that only he can bring back the economy which doesn’t make any sense. Trump also brought up Fox News host Chris Wallace and the crowd happily took the bait, booing Wallace to pledge their sycophantic loyalty to their dear orange leader.
Trump is Running As If Someone Else is President
Donald Trump is running for reelection acting as if someone else is president right now. He’s using language that suggests other people are currently in office and if we give him the chance to lead, he’ll be able to solve all of society’s ills. The problem is that Trump is actually president right now and he’s unwilling and incapable of carrying out the necessary measures to improve the state of the country. The most obvious example of Trump using this tactic is on crime. The Trump campaign shows videos of violence in the streets of American cities acting like that’s what the country will be like under a Joe Biden administration. The reality is that that’s how the country is now under Trump’s administration.
It’s clear that Donald Trump has to use this strategy because the “Keep America Great” slogan isn’t going to work with hundreds of thousands dead from a pandemic and tens of millions out of work. Trump has assessed that he has to run as the outsider in order to win, like he did in 2016. Even though this strategy doesn’t pass a basic sniff test, there are going to be people who are convinced by it. That’s why progressives and everyone united to defeat Trump must stay on message and organize to defeat him in November.
From over the weekend:
Caller Never Received Absentee Ballot
A live caller talks about how they filled in an absentee ballot request form and mailed it in, but never received a ballot. David had a similar issue sending in his request form, as it took over a week for it to travel three miles. Mail delays are occurring all across the country and it’s Trump’s doing. He is deliberately causing problems with the post office so he can then claim it’s incapable of handling the millions of ballots sent in for the election. That’s why if you plan to vote by mail, you must get a head start on it!
