I'll never for when then candidate Trump and Senator Marco Rubio talked about the size of Trumps hands, as a reference to his penis at a Republican Party nominations debate. For me, this way the day the music died...

Pathetic.

Well, looks like the Democrats will have their work cut out for them. Over 25,000 recorded people in attendance, setting up screens outside thousands more. The Democrats are just not taking this seriously and at their own political peril.

Make no mistake, the term 'illegal immigration' is being used to bait members of his base that have a tendency to have some racial anxiety. When I was a kid, the language was a bit more direct and derogatory. Now, it's much more coded.

So in other words the president of the United States is unable to draw crowds larger than the 3rd place Seattle Mariners did to an average game last season?

I'm sure the Democratic party is quaking in its boots at that.

"I promise you I will never ever let you down."

he told Ivana and Marla

Why does he need to announce that he's running for re-election? He's been campaigning since the day after the inauguration. It would be a lot more worthy of an announcement if he decided to let America off the hook and not run again.

Who isn’t taking it seriously and what did they say?

"As long as you keep this team in place,

Its essentially a team of one, supported by his daughter and son-in-law.

All the others play musical chairs.

He could have said, 'As long as you keep this liar in place, supported by his dumb daughter and clueless son-in-law , we'll keep running the country to the ground'.

With prosperous economy and low unemployment rate, for any other sitting President, this would be a slam dunk. But Trump's biggest problem is about 6 of 10 Americans don't like him - even Trump's internal pollsters that were leaked showed that

"Trump Fires Pollsters After Leaked Internal Polls Show Him Losing To Biden In Key States"

https://upolitics.com/news/trump-fires-pollsters-after-leaked-internal-polls-show-him-losing-to-biden-in-key-states/

So, the big question is: can voters set that dislike aside vs. they don't like him enough regardless of the economy

The fact that the President’s approval rating has held steady (which is to say, has held steadily low at around 40%) — no matter when improving economic conditions — suggests that the economy is not swaying people's minds

So Trump's expected strategy is to get voters to also dislike his opponent as much as they dislike him - because if they're both disliked by the voters, then that's when he can use the economy as the tie-breaker

Of note for the opposition Party nomination contenders though like Biden, the early front-runners for the Party nomination - it's not uncommon that the early front-runners don't get the Party nomination at the end (just the way history works)

shook up the Washington establishment four years ago

Which part of the Washington establishment? 

Certainly not the part of the establishment that includes DC swamp lifers like Ron Barr, Bolton, Pompeo etal. They're each key members of his administration.

How about Elaine Chao, recycled bureaucrat from the Bush 43 admin, wife of corrupt Sen. Mitch McConnell, scion to an international shipping family.

Certainly not the military industrial complex part of the US establishment. Trump's appointed people from Boeing and Raytheon, two of the world’s three largest defense contractors to lead the Department of Defense.

Certainly not the big energy part of the US establishment. Look at Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruit and others Trump’s appointed to the Department of the Interior and Environmental Protection Agency and how they’re doing Trump and the ‘establishment’s’ bidding in tearing down environmental protection to make things better for ‘established’ corporations.

Certainly not Wall Street. Mnuchin (Goldman Sachs) etal.

Certainly not the military. Look at the retired generals.

Certainly not the Republican nabobs in the Senate. Look at Trump’s backing from Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham etal.

The ‘establishment’ is used as a pejorative by those unable to explain what they mean. (Like ‘deep state’, ‘globalist’ and others.) 

Only those unwilling to look deeper than Trump’s speeches and headlines would accept he’s not part of the establishment. He's helped wealthy Americans more than any president in modern history.

Trump is an outsider in many ways that should worry Americans. His outside connections to Moscow and Israel especially.

Democrats "want to destroy our country as we know it"

Well if America is really the kind of place people like bass tell us it is, that might not be such a bad idea.

Gang-related no-go zones, medical bankruptcy, mass shootings, rampant prescription-opioid addiction, white supremacist violence..... Knock it down and start again might be the only way.

"We believe our country should be a sanctuary for law-abiding citizens,

like Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort. Michael Cohen, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, and other shady characters Trump placed among his 'best people'?

Vote Trump, vote for the death of your soul.

That don' worry Trump supporters none. Dey ain't got no soul in da foist place.

Spent much of his stage slagging off Clinton who isn't even running. Another favorite potty mouth was the fake press.

No wrong in taking a victory lap.

Doesn't sound all that much different from Europe, replace guns with knives, a slowly bankrupting medical entitlement system slowing down, the far right gaining more and more power...

Dlike Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort. Michael Cohen, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, and other shady characters Trump placed among his 'best people'?

Funny, as if Trump had a crystal ball and could peer I to their lives. I mean, look at Biden with all the stuff we know, wonder why Obama, his buddy is not giving him a full endorsement?

if the Dems stifle Bernie again and prop up another corporate Democrat like Biden, good luck to them....

1 ( +3 / -2 )

So what was the difference with any other Trump rally ?

3 ( +3 / -0 )

Doesn't sound all that much different from Europe, replace guns with knives

*There were 17,284 homicides in the US in 2017, giving a rate of 5.3 per 100,000. In Britain, there were 785 in financial year 2017/18 — the nearest equivalent time period — giving a rate of 1.8 per 100,000, some three times lower.*

Within this, there were 285 knife murders in England and Wales in 2017/18 — the highest number since the Second World War — and 34 in Scotland, giving a combined British rate of 0.48 per 100,000. In the US, the number for 2017 was 1,591, giving an almost identical rate of 0.49.

https://www.euronews.com/2019/06/18/deadly-knife-crime-how-does-london-compare-to-new-york

So, knife crime is about the same in Britain and the US, plus the US has all that gun-related stuff in addition.

Looks like things would be a lot better if the US were actually not that much different from Europe. Pity it's nearly three times worse.

Funny, as if Trump had a crystal ball and could peer I to their lives

It's called screening. Doesn't work when the screen is full of holes, of course.

I mean, look at Biden with all the stuff we know

All what stuff we know? That he has in the past touched ladies on their shoulders, smelled their hair and even kissed them in less PC days - and apologised for it when it was pointed out to him that it was inappropriate? Compared with the Great Orange Serial-Cheater Pussy-Grabber? No contest.

I note and appreciate the fact that you have no comeback to the charge of soul-deficiency.

He is an outsider and a victim of the relentless targeting. I just found out today that something he did benefit me. Maybe I will actually get off my lazy ass and vote for him. Maybe.

US voters will have the power to savage their nation but I doubt that they will because Trump is a symptom of US society, a mirror of US society. Not until the nations of the world regain their sovereignty and stand up to the US will anything change. We are looking at more wars and more suffering as the US tries to maintain global dictatorship.

Don't forget to factor in the size of the US, the 2nd amendment and and the influx of MS-13 to our nation. The 2nd amendment helps with keeping us safe.

Looks like things would be a lot better if the US were actually not that much different from Europe. Pity it's nearly three times worse.

Hmmmm.....I don’t believe that. I was there this January and naw, I prefer the States, feel much better, definitely safer.

Creepy.

and apologised for it when it was pointed out to him that it was inappropriate? Compared with the Great Orange Serial-Cheater Pussy-Grabber? No contest.

Let’s not forget, you might not know this as a Brit, but following American politics since forever, I remember Biden being the ultimate gaffe machine, now Biden has had a cake wall this entire time, but if any of the other socialists want to gain in the poles, they will have to tear Biden apart, essentially helping Trump in the process. So whether it’s the Hyde Amendment, Abortion, comments he said bout Blacks, race and Anita Hill (who could ever forget that spectacle) his chickens are coming faster home to roost than buying a 12 piece bucket of KFC.

lol I note and appreciate the fact that you have no comeback to the charge of soul-deficiency.

Not until the nations of the world regain their sovereignty and stand up to the US will anything change.

But that won’t happen, Obama to one of his limited credits tried to isolate the US, didn’t take long for Europe to bang on our doors, now that Trump wants to do it, he’s the devil? Honestly, I’m so confused. You hate us, but you need us.

The Democrats have a lot of obstacles to overcome. Their far-leftist candidates, the illegal alien border crossing crisis, and the results of the investigation of the investigators which will be determined, announced, and charges laid, before Nov 2020. The Democrats are in a race with the clock. Can they stop the voters from finding out just how low they had sunk in their efforts to undermine, and to overthrow, a Republican presidential candidate and President? Tick tock.

Don't forget to factor in the size of the US

Size isn't a factor when you're talking in per 100,000s. I take it you didn't do very well in maths at school?

the 2nd amendment and and

Yes, that is a problem that isn't going to go away unless the whole structure is torn down and built up again. Glad to see you recognise that.

the influx of MS-13 to our nation.

Influx?? MS-13 was born in the US, to protect one set of gangs from another set of gangs in the US. (Gangs formed from Salvadoran refugees from the San Salvador civil war, whose requests for asylum status in the US were neglected so that the refugees were left undocumented and vulnerable to exploitation, racial prejudice and persecution). It's the US that deported MS-13 to other parts of the Americas.

In 2018, the gang accounted for less than 1 percent (10,000) of total gang members in the United States (1.4 million), and a similar share of gang murders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-13

So how to you explain the other 99% of gang murders in the US?

Smart phones, IPads, love Steve Jobs....well, Tim Cook now.

What?? Do you need to lie down for a while?

I remember Biden being the ultimate gaffe machine

And now he's been totally blown out of the gaffe water by the Trumpo Dumbo.

Quite the opposite.

Again, the 2nd amendment is not going anywhere. Hunting season is upon us, can’t wait!

Influx?? MS-13 was born in the US,

I know that, but as we or at least in the US we know that thousands of El Salvadorian have been flocking to the US and bringing MS-13 with them, I just glad now Trump and ICE have the green light to send thousands back. Great day!

So how to you explain the other 99% of gang murders in the US?

Ask the Democrats, I wonder deeply about that myself and never can get a straight answer for some reason.

What?? Do you need to lie down for a while?

I think that would be liberals especially what is now coming at them. ROFL!

 As far as parties go, America is leaning to one side or the other waaaay to much. There are republicans and democrats who actually care about America. But it's more "interesting" to just negate the other side's proposals because they're on the blue or red team. And this donkey has been feuling that dumpster fire for way too long.

Because he’s popular in that State and they don’t matter to me, the problem is they didn’t anticipate THAT many people and it was a little bit of a problem accommodating them.

Ah, its great that you think cities should be forced to pay for Trump's pleasure because you disagree with the budgets that were democratically voted on in other cities.

But you're right when it comes to Trump, like a child at baskin robbins. Folded arms and pouty face till mom lets him have two scoops.

I'm pretty sure they did. Otherwise they wouldn't have spent the money on a venue to fit 25,000 people.

To have a half empty venue so Trump could talk to bleachers.

If you weren't worried, you wouldn't be hear screeching at the top of your likings about rally attendance numbers. So transparent. So hilarious you expect the rest of us to engage in your self-delusion.

An outsider who just happens to be the occupant of the most powerful position in the developed world.

A victim of the system that put him there and has kept him there.

That's some sob story.

You forgot also, he's the biggest victim in American History. More than the slaves, more than the native americans, more than the central park 5. I mean, he's had an absolutely horrible 2 years.

Bass: The government planning to and then giving people money (entitlements) is far different than Donny going to a city, running up a huge bill, and skipping town (theft). It stretches the bounds of reasonableness for you to expect us to take you seriously when you make these kinds of comments.

Do those include payouts to farmers who are hurt by Trump’s trade wars? Oversized tax cuts to the uber wealthy? Use of Air Force One for Trump to play golf at his own resorts, at taxpayer expense?

I was referring more to the medical social everyday cradle to grave, not the temporary ones....darn.

Ah, its great that you think cities should be forced to pay for Trump's pleasure because you disagree with the budgets that were democratically voted on in other cities.

Most people I know didn’t want to pay for Obamacare, but alas....

But you're right when it comes to Trump, like a child at baskin robbins. Folded arms and pouty face till mom lets him have two scoops.

And the child wins in the end. Lol

Uh-huh, so let’s see any Democrat top that.

Yeah, that would never happen, now Biden...

Not worried don’t need to be, I have a TV and I saw the stadium overflow, I was just enjoying myself.

So temporary handouts are okay? Selective socialism.

False equivalency. The government planning to and then giving people money (entitlements) is far different than Donny going to a city, running up a huge bill, and skipping town (theft). It stretches the bounds of reasonableness for you to expect us to take you seriously when you make these kinds of comments.

Your attempts to twist conversations to the point they aren't recognizable in the span of one reply is absurd.

Yep the same polls that said Dems would be Florida governor and senator last time. Oops. Isn’t that guy being subpoenaed for grand jury testimony related to fraud?

You do realize, that even Trumps own polls show him losing to dems in Florida, right? hehe

Until the President can get the trade dispute in order, sadly yes for these farmers, but in normal circumstances it shouldn’t be the norm.

False equivalency.

Its not compared to the cradle to grave Democrats want to bestow on the entire nation which is financially illogical and unrealistic.

Your attempts to twist conversations

I don’t it’s just liberals keep getting twisted in their own political world, I aim to burst that bubble of trance.

Trump had better change his MAGA slogan 'cos the official announcement of a 2020 Trump Redouche is gonna mean "Make Americans Gag Again"! The long-suffering majority may still be spared 4 more years of Trumpamerika if life is what happens when Trump is making other plans.

Nice somewhat comeback, but it won’t help the Dems win re-election. ROFL!

Maybe the Dems do, they have the flavor of the month socialism, mine have 31.

About that Florida poll that shows Biden crushing Trump ...

It's going to be hilarious seeing the reactions here when Trump wins re-election.

More irrelevant and meaningless babble. The house of Trump is built on this.

And it all makes the case for liberalism, socialism, or just about any other political viewpoint, all the more compelling. If I had any strong conservative inclinations I would be embarrassed to have any association with it.
