'It’s a hoax. There's no pandemic': Trump's base stays loyal as president fights Covid

excerpt:

"Sean Patterson is not worried that Donald Trump has been hospitalized with coronavirus because he believes what the president tells him.

“It’s a hoax. There’s no pandemic. As Trump said, how many millions die of flu?” said the 56-year-old truck driver outside the early voting station in St Joseph, Missouri – a stronghold for the president.

But then Patterson pauses and contemplates the possibility that Trump really does have Covid-19.

“If he’s sick, then they planted it when they tested him. It’s what they did to me when I went to hospital for my heart beating too fast. Two weeks later I got a cold,” he said. “It’s political. I don’t trust the US government at all. Who are they to mandate personal safety? I listen to Trump.”"

 

'It’s a hoax. There's no pandemic': Trump's base stays loyal as president fights Covid

excerpt:

"Rucker, the public servant, said Trump’s behaviour at the debate will have shocked a lot of Americans, but he doubts it will have any real impact on the election. “It was very unprofessional but again I’m not surprised,” he said.

Rucker is not worried though. He thinks Trump’s handling of coronavirus, if it doesn’t cost him his life, will lose him the election and that even if he then refuses to accept defeat and tries to stir up violence, it won’t go anywhere.

“I don’t think he’ll win again. He’s so divisive. I believe in the US to endure,” he said."

Trump missed an opportunity to appeal to voters who see the coronavirus as a serious problem.


Only 24% of Trump supporters view the coronavirus outbreak as a ‘very important’ voting issue

Only 24% of Trump supporters view the coronavirus outbreak as a ‘very important’ voting issue

excerpt:

"Yet the widest differences are on the importance of the coronavirus outbreak. About eight-in-ten Biden supporters (82%) say the coronavirus will be very important to their vote, compared with just 24% of Trump supporters. Since August, the share of Trump supporters who view the coronavirus as very important has declined 15 percentage points. There has been no change among Biden supporters.

There has been far less change in views of the importance of other issues. About six-in-ten registered voters (63%) – including nearly equal shares of Biden (66%) and Trump supporters (64%) – say Supreme Court appointments will be very important to their vote. That is virtually unchanged from August (64%)."

 

Trump had planned to travel to Gettysburg on Wednesday but decided against it.

My first thought "Discretion is the better part of valor," But trump doesn't use discretion, and certainly doesn't understand the meaning of the word valor.

 

Trump just pardoned Flynn.

 

I seem to remember last year Rudy said he has an insurance policy in the event Trump does anything against him?

 

Last year Rudy said he had an insurance policy against such a scenario.

 

#1, he didn’t want to have to answer any questions,
and #2, he didn’t want any of Rudy’s hair dye getting all over his suit.

 

Trump attended the PA hearing via speakerphone apparently because someone who tested positive for the coronavirus exposed Giuliani to the virus.

Trump adviser, Boris Epshteyn, tested positive for the coronivirus.



Trump Again Claims He Won Election ‘By a Lot’ during Pennsylvania Senate Hearing

excerpt:

“We won this election by a lot, we got 74 million votes,” Trump said during a meeting of the Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee on “election issues and irregularities.”

Biden, however, received 80 million votes, and 306 electoral votes, according to projections from the Associated Press, including Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes.

“This election was lost by the Democrats, they cheated,” Trump said via speakerphone while his lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis attended the hearing in-person. “It was a fraudulent election.”

Trump, however, did not offer evidence of cheating or fraud.

 

Yeah- it’s called “Settle out of court”

 

Of course he doesn’t understand the meaning of valor. Valor...is for “losers and suckers”.....

 

It's not Kool-aide. It's horse shit.

 

Trump hasn't accepted that the real world isn't the fantasy of his rock star campaign rallies.

Trump comes up empty in the real life situations where the rubber meets the road.

 

I'd bet he never told them he lost 36 court cases concerning his horse shit claims.

 

Trump pardons Flynn.


Trump announces 'a Full Pardon' for Michael Flynn in tweet - CNNPolitics

 

Barr reversed the DOJ course in May 2020 by dropping its case against Flynn.

 

Trump did a 10-minute rant for the PA gathering.



Trump calls into Pennsylvania hearing, rambles about voter fraud on speakerphone

excerpt:

"After calling his lawyers in the middle of the hearing — held at the Wyndham Hotel in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — Trump launched a breathless, 10-minute-long rant about election fraud during which he surfaced many of his familiar false claims about dead people voting, illegal ballots, Democrats' corruption and more.

"We have to turn the election over, because there's no doubt we have all the evidence, we have all the affidavits, we have everything," he said, providing no evidence of his various allegations. "All we need is to have some judge listen to it properly without having a political opinion or having another kind of a problem, because we have everything and, by the way, the evidence is pouring in now as we speak.""

 

Wyndham Hotel sounds better than Four Seasons Landscaping.
