    He needs to hold more rallies and slow down testing. That will get him the victory.

    That is the most dejected I've ever seen him. Please more.

    I think that music might be too upbeat. I'd like to see a BTS remix tho.

    This is quite the quote. Is he counting on time travel?

    "Next year will be the single greatest year economically that we’ve ever had. When you see that happen, Nov. 3 you won’t have the guts to vote against me.”

    And if Biden had said it, the Trump lovers would be questioning his mental state

    Well in terms of managing the world's largest bureaucracy and commanding the world's most powerful military, I'd rather him him not worry about trolling and worry about leading and reading but that's just me.

    What if, instead of those things, he just obsesses about every criticism he receives? Would that be a good way to lead?

    Is it no wonder his campaign is a mess? He makes a mess of everything he touches.

    He's a wannabe dictator that's less competent than any dictator in history

    This is true (to a point) -- the Trump campaign grossly inflated their own numbers as they do at every event.

    At this point, would have been a better "excuse" if they were hacked or trolled. By denying it, or refuting it, campaign basically admitting that it isn't strong enough to overcome all the other factors that aren't going away any time soon.

    Exactly. Basically, people just didn’t want to go. Maybe some of Trumps supporters are smarter than I thought. Any reasonably intelligent person knows that this is not the time to gather with thousands of other people unwilling to wear a mask during a pandemic.

    Even if we grant everything the Trump campaign says, the bottom line is they are the people who bragged about 1,000,000 sign-ups for the rally multiple times, booked the arena, and built an overflow stage. No media member and no protester made them do it.


    They did so knowing the reports about the event and COVID, knowing there could be protesters (why they delayed it for a day), and even knowing there are fake sign-ups. And now the campaign people said they were careful about weeding out fake sign-ups— and yet, here we are.

    The thing about the pandemic is maybe people, Trump fans or not, on average, are being more careful than is shown on TV. Sure, there are protests, pool parties, re-openings, etc. and the footage is real, but even with those, most of the US population are not physically attending protests (It’s a big country, even 1 million of us going to protests is not a high %) and many re-opened businesses are likely not yet seeing customers return at the pre-COVID rate.

    Maggie NYT MAGA LOL:

    When he landed back at the White House and walked off Marine One, his tie hung untied around his neck. He waved to reporters, with a defeated expression on his face, holding a crumpled red campaign hat in one hand.



    U hate to see it. ...
