President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that he won’t be holding rallies since the optics of low attendance amid calls to observe social distancing guidelines — that he has largely ignored in the past — wouldn’t look very good.
Trump’s campaign rallies should be under the banner:
TRUMP/PENCE DEMIC
Coming to a town near you“You can’t have empty seats,” Trump told Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis…
There are 167,000 empty seats at family tables all across America, thanks to this lunatic.
He thinks his problem with his election campaign is that he isn’t getting seen enough, though.
A toast before dinner: “To 167,000 absent friends.”
“Trump Explains Why He Hasn’t Hosted An Official Campaign Super Spreader Event Since Tulsa”
Nuremberg doesn’t look so great when there are empty seats.
Keep him explaining. It’s something he has no capacity to do. It requires a kind of mind that can grasp things like visual reality and objective truth, and Trump does not have one, so he just digs himself deeper into his hole with babble.
Not to mention that everybody feels the sensation on their skin: when you’re explaining you’re losing.
Why couldn’t he say or at least imply that he doesn’t want these events because he wants people to feel safe?
Oh.,never mind. I think they’re mixing toxic covid killing cleaning products around here.

His problem is they’ve seen all they need to see.
Please proceed, goobernoir.
Pro tip: empirical evidence shows your approval ratings go up when you can go two weeks doing nothing.
He is doing his best to keep up his fantasy. If he has another campaign event with low turnout, it will only rub his nose deeper into the reality of the coming historic defeat. He will delay that realization as long as he is able to do so. He might even go full cray-cray in November and claim that he didn’t lose and that the election was unfair and it was stolen from him. He’s put all his energy into that instead of actually working on the pandemic. He is the worst executive I have ever seen during a very long professional career, bar none. Makes Dubya almost look competent.
Well because he doesn’t give one good goddamn about people’s safety. It never occurs to him.
“You have one person and everything’s empty around them.”
I can think of one person within whom everything is empty.
This clinches it. Nomination acceptance speech delivered from white house lawn, white house staff filling the seats, on pain of termination. Can Hatch Act violations be pardoned?
How about from the White House bunker?
I love the fan blowing the Rona back on the deplorables…
Leafblowers work better, though…
Can’t fit the minimum audience down there.
