By wide margins, voters think these rallies are a terrible idea during a global pandemic.
58 % of likely voters nationally disapproved of Trump’s decision to hold large rallies, while only 34 % approved, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today poll conducted last week.
The Dem super PAC Priorities USA found similar results in the 6 states most likely to swing the election. In PA, where Trump staged four rallies Saturday, 58 percent said Trump’s rallies made them think less favorably of Trump, while only 22 percent more favorably.
One place where journalism clearly has failed us during the past four years is in describing Trump’s personal corruption. We’re trained to be cautious with pejorative words, so we didn’t want to use it. Trump took advantage of that.
When a lobbyist or CEO who wants something from the federal government books a hotel room or has a meal or buys a drink at Trump Hotel in DC, knowing full well that some of that money is going to wind up in Trump’s pocket, THAT IS CORRUPTION.
When Trump continues to accept money from lobbyists and CEOs who want something from the federal government, THAT IS CORRUPTION.
Trump is now repeating stuff from a Russian disinformation operation right off the teleprompter.
Does Putin have to report this as an in-kind contribution?
Marion County, Florida, audience learning all about Section 230.
Something, something, Big Tech...
That is the great irony, here.
With the 230 civil liability protection, the FIRST account to be deleted from Twitter would likely be Donald Trump's. He libels people like crazy in his tweets, and Twitter would suddenly become the deep-pocket defendant.
Remember when Trump kept attacking Obama for playing too much golf?
And when he promised this?
“I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off."
Well. Obviously that did not happen.
Trump has played on 2½ times as many days as Obama did through the same point in his first term, and Trump’s golf outings have cost in total more than four times as much as Obama’s.
Trump is reading from the teleprompter about the NY Post story. So he is now actively pushing Russian disinformation as part of his scripted campaign message.
Just like 2016.
And he is literally going through the whole false conspiracy theory so crazy that it took Glenn Beck TWO whiteboards to map out, that so obsessed Trump that he extorted Ukraine's president to make him smear Biden, which got him impeached.
Claims he's given up "billions of dollars" to be president.
Ha.
No. It's not clear whether he ever had much more than a billion. The richest he was when he inherited the family business in 1974 (in adjusted dollars) and he is been losing money since.
In today's Trump campaign press call, accusing Biden of corruption, will be former Florida AG Pam Bondi ... who declined to investigate fraudulent Trump "University" after received a $25,000 illegal campaign contribution from Trump's charity.
Pam Bondi is starting every sentence with "if this explosive report in the New York Post is true..."
And then accuses Biden of lying.
Apparently lies bother Pam Bondi.
Next she will say she is offended by corruption....
