Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Ursus]

It will run its course! How many months has this course been running now? And we're at the start of flu season. Good luck, America. And the rest of the world, ofc.

By "run its course", I'm assuming he means let it kill off a million people, as long as he's not one of them.

It looks like my hope to see Trump’s odds fall to single digits by the end of this week, might still come true... 538 has Biden at 86/13 in their 40000 simulations...

Getting back on Trump's miracle cure, the reason why he is doing this ofc is because his advisers told him that a vaccine pre election isn't possible.

Regeneron CEO: Trump's success with antibody cocktail is not evidence of cure

Long story short, while the stuff didn't flat-out kill Trump or anything, if the CEO is saying "well hold on.." then you should probably listen.

[Gelannerai]

It's obviously not a deal breaker for them.

Trump supporters have spent four year shitting on the other side. Did you not expect anger?

As with anything, it’s a matter of degrees. While most Trump supporters probably aren’t actively, malignantly racist like your typical KKK cross-burner or neo nazi, they’re passively racist enough to legitimately be unaware or be willfully ignorant of systemic racism.

[Loga Almandar]

To be fair, most posters in here are too engaged in politics to even think of the most common reasoning for voting Trump in 2016 - the (R) behind his name. Even in european multi-party elections every party can count on its block of voters regardless of the actual candidate.

Of cöurse, in the last four years the progression of the republican party to a minority grifter party has been made quite visible by Trump and Co., so that reasoning should not be used to excuse a vote for him 2020.
Then again, part of the grifter party is a thriving media network, so you will still have upstanding Trump voters who honestly dont see themselves as racist.

In short, better call out people who took ample time to show you their true colors. Still enough of them

Trump has yet to hit the campaign trail. He's going to stop bleeding numbers soon. That's reason enough for the Democrats to continue the full-court press.

We should also not count on Trump going from zero to sixty like this, while still recovering from a life-threatening infection he literally brought upon himself, to actually KO him. Oh, it's completely predictable, but Democrats need to assume his actions will have no consequences yet again. If Trump injures himself, that's a bonus, but not a mandate.

I don't think the Dems are going to slow down because the polls look good or because Trump is ill. If anything, if he says he's cured, it's ammo for them to go after him and not feel bad about attacking a sick fat man. Also, 2016 trauma means they won't consider it done until the GOP is buried.

The most important thing that will impact their voter banks is the hearing today. They should not go after Amy Coney Barrett for anything but her judicial stance. Roe v Wade and Obamacare. That's it. Just go after that. Nothing else. Don't make it personal. Just stay on message.

Shocked! I tell you.

Trump will likely need to get prosecuted for his crimes prior to be President. During his Presidency, we will see if they can get a serious quid pro quo on this.

The best out of this is he probably fleeced his campaign and inauguration for tens of millions of dollars. Don't mind when he steals from their own.

[Felya]

Nah. As usual, Trump is all bluster. Same reason he's still talking about locking Hillary Clinton up, but she's probably been laughing at him for nearly 4 years now because nothing has happened, nor will it happen.

The thing is, he is pretty much accusing China of attacking US with a bio weapon. That has different ramifications than “Lock her up”...

[Breccia]

Indeed, just because there's good news doesn't mean there can't be better news. Biden already proved he was ready to take advantage of Trump's self-inflicted downtime.

Yeah, I just don't want them to give anyone any ammo during Barrett's confirmation hearing. Just stick to Roe v Wade & Obamacare.

Not that it matters, mind you. The conservative media have already decided to pearl clutch and claim it's an attack on her womanhood and religion.

If you ever doubted that Trump gave no fucks about Democrat states and only really cares about Republican states

Wow. At least Trump used to put in effort with his tweets. These are just...sad.

It's well documented that he's a scumbag. I mourn the (not yet confirmed) loss of COVID in his bloodstream.

It’s also not something an incumbent should be saying. He is running as if he hasn’t been president...

[Canpinter]

Its a simple attempt to play to his base, a large amount of republican voters actually like it when bad things happen to states like Califonia because it "fucks the libs".

[melodramocracy]

If NY has gone to hell, it has done so under his watch. 4 more years of that is unlikely to change anything.

or

If NY has gone to hell, it has done so because of democratic leadership he has no control over. Therefore, voting for him isn't going to change anything.

His devout fanbase won't ever arrive at these logical conclusions on their own, but it's pretty funny to see them rally behind these statements anyhow.

[Breccia]

He is running as if he hasn’t been president...

Does he have a choice? I know he likes to present himself as the billionaire playboy success story that's somehow the trodden-upon everyman, but nobody would run on Trump's record right now.

Was Abraham Lincoln a bad guy? Like I don't mean to derail this off the topic of Trump but he's a Republican too.

Abraham Lincoln was 160+ years ago.

Times changed, parties changed. I really don't get why this is such a difficult concept for people. The Republicans/Democrats of today are not similar, in any way, to the Republicans/Democrats of the 1860s.

Besides, I think Lincoln would be appalled at what his party has become and the complete moron who they made President.

Obviously, they're trying to stop it as they can. But certain Trump-packed courts are going along with things like limiting ballot drop off locations solely for the reason of inconveniencing people, and with things like "fake election dropoff boxes" the damage is done because the votes are probably destroyed upon being dropped off, even if the boxes themselves are swiftly removed.

Trump was right. The election is being rigged.

It's just his party and not the Democrats doing it.

Gaslight.
Obstruct.

[Fugus]

so, Trump and everyone in his party is a racist? That's what this is insinuating.

Everyone racist, no. But they have no issues working with racists and backing racist people and racist policies to get what they want so long as they can lie and pretend it isn't racist.

Trump racist, definitely and we can prove that just looking at Stephen Miller and how Trump has treated him along with Jeff Sessions and how Trump treated him and the fact that Miller is still there and Sessions wasn't fired for the racism, he was fired for actually showing an iota of principle and recusing himself from the Russia investigation after being caught lying about his own ties to them

Abraham Lincoln would be appalled by what his party has become but Theodore Roosevelt would just walk through Congress and kick the ever loving shit out of every Republican he could find. Then after he finished mopping the floor with them he would head on down to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and kick Trump's ass.
