Donald Trump continues to lie to try to get people to see things ‘his’ way….
We have become almost immune to how much….
As he wants….
He is trying to change reality right in front your eyes….
And the only brake on him is the media….
He owns the nations ‘Justice’ Department….
The US Senate has his back….
And the courts cannot enforce anything if Trump won’t actually stop stringing them out or deliberately going around them…
Let’s make something VERY CLEAR here…
Donald J Trump IS following in the steps of someone looking to seize power for the majority in what is a democratic republic…
But playing to media’s view of a country that is at fighting among themselves on something he has gaslighted …RACE…
He is arguing that someone to replace him and deal with the problems, Joe Biden and the Democrats, are the ENEMY….NOT him, the guy who helped create the unease, suffering and chaos going on right now…The guy who HAS patted those who break the law on the back and himself skirted the law in his Presidency as policy….
Only Trump can make things BETTER…….After he has made them worst….
This IS straight from the playbook that the leadership in China and Russia have used to consolidate power….
Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about the virus and it’s hurting and killing Americans…
He doesn’t care about those out of work….
He IS angling to continue those things because they are NOT about his ego and power…
Most American’s do NOT agree with him …
Almost all the Republicans DO...
But in this country?
The collective vote does NOT count…
All Trump has to to do if we stick with the results is to win about 5 – 6 ‘swing’ states like he did 4 years ago….
Those states are polling FOR Biden…
Trump is gonna make sure he lies his way across them in the next 2 months….
Deliberately….
The linked piece below on the post convention Donald Trump IS who he is….
Not the scripted Bull Shit that the staff feeds him for the general public…
“Look at what happened in New York, look what happened in Chicago. All Democrats. All radical left Democrats,” Trump said. He added: “You know what I say about protesters? Protesters, your ass. I don’t talk about my ass. They’re not protesters, those are anarchists, they’re agitators, they’re rioters, they’re looters.”
Campaign aides said the lengthy remarks about unrest in cities are part of a broader strategy, driven by Trump, in an attempt to win suburban voters and convince Americans that violence in cities is the fault of his Democratic rival, former vice president Joe Biden — and not his. The goal: to convince voters that Trump would like to fix it, and is tougher on criminals but is being blocked by Democratic mayors, and that demonstrators are Biden supporters dangerous to their neighborhoods.
Biden recently condemned violence at protests and has urged calm while expressing support for those taking to the streets in response to the recent police shootings of Black men.
Polls have repeatedly shown a majority of voters do not agree with the president’s handling of race, and some of his most damaging tweets, according to his current and former aides, have focused on race….
…
Trump has previously been rebuffed by military and Justice Department advisers who, when he suggested invoking the act, were concerned about politicizing the military and deploying service members in the United States.
The president faces a reelection bid amid double-digit unemployment, a spreading pandemic that has killed about 178,000 Americans, and racial unrest across the country. He has often been accused of spreading division and racial animus with his comments. Most polls show him trailing Biden, but he has narrowed the gap.
“The status quo is not working for him,” said David Axelrod, a political strategist and former top aide to President Barack Obama. “If you look at the metrics, there’s a reason they didn’t talk about the coronavirus or the economy. The basic message they are trying to deliver is that Biden is the enabler. Every bit of disorder is going to be depicted as Democratic disillusion.”
The speech — one night after Trump delivered more serious, by-the-teleprompter remarks in the White House Rose Garden to accept the Republican nomination for president, contained many of his usual flourishes….
Note…
Biden MUST come down AGAINST violence….
Trump is seeking to finally define Biden by it…
He had be unable up to now hurt Biden in the polls…
Joe Biden MUST get his behind on the road….
(As in 2016…We are gonna see more and MORE images of Trump with crowds and that worked for him against Hillary Clinton in perceptions)

Trump Aims to Win Back Those Who Voted for Him
Associated Press: “The GOP convention’s target audience, according to campaign officials, was mostly former Trump supporters, those Republicans or independents who may have backed him in 2016 but grew unhappy with his rhetoric or handling of the pandemic. The goal, by trying to humanize Trump and demonize Biden, was to set up a permission structure to make those voters feel comfortable enough to vote for Trump again, even if they cared for his policies far more than his personality.”
“Officials believe they accomplished that over the four-day convention and are encouraged by internal numbers that show Trump had begun closing the gap on Biden even before the events of this week in Washington. The campaign’s theory of the election has long been to turn out Trump’s base — a smaller set of the electorate than which backs Biden, but more enthusiastic — while also trying to win over nonvoters and drive up negative impressions of Biden so that some of his possible backers stay home.”
BTW?
This is same thing Republicans do every time
Run against the ‘liberal’ Democrats…
