Trump to restart MAGA rallies this month despite coronavirus

[RandySF]

Donald Trump is planning to restart rallies in the next two weeks in a major turning point for the president since the coronavirus shut down traditional campaigning.

Trump’s advisers are still determining where the rallies will take place and what safety measures will be implemented, depending on the type of venue chosen. Campaign manager Brad Parscale is expected to present Trump with possibilities within the next few days.

The president has been itching to resume his boisterous rallies, his favorite way to connect with supporters and let off steam. He's planning to use the events to drive home what is expected to be a major theme of his campaign: that he is the leader of the country’s reopening and economic rebound. Trump held a hastily-called press conference Friday to celebrate an unexpectedly strong jobs report, and his campaign immediately began running a massive ad campaign seizing on the news.

“Americans are ready to get back to action and so is President Trump. The great American comeback is real and the rallies will be tremendous,” Parscale said in a statement. “You’ll again see the kind of crowds and enthusiasm that sleepy Joe Biden can only dream of.”

1. Wanna bet Trump will be kept distant from his unwashed masses?

[Best_man23]

2. I suggest a trip to Texas

Or any one of the cities near a Tyson food processing plant.

Just a few suggestions.

9. Please, no.

Stay away, thanks.

3. Dispensers for hand sanitizer and bleach provided? eom

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Won't be North Carolina . . . . . .

If Trump couldn't get a MAGA rally masquerading as the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, there's no way he'll choose (or get) a venue in North Carolina.

5. He's an addict

jonesing for the crowds

[Timewas]

6. Good

Thin the herd

7. I hope

They all infect each other..

8. good, while Trump wastes time at rallies Joe can send surrogates to virtual town halls

VP Biden could limit himself to doing regular solo media appearances where he makes a statement about how things should be done and answers some viewer questions, without losing his lead, all the way to the convention.

no need for Biden to do anything extreme when he holds a solid lead.

10. Agreed there are better words to use. nt

[Initech]

11. Joe could easily use this in an ad.

See the smart candidate is maintaining a safe distance during the campaign while there's still a deadly virus in the air. The stupid candidate is going out and holding rallies in large arenas in spite of public health warnings! Don't be like the stupid candidate!

12. One of two bad things is going to happen

Either we will have an upswing in the C-19 infection rate (along with associated deaths of related older family members) from the protests, or we will have the MAGAts saying, "So, what was the big deal about 'social distancing'?"

If Trump's campaign waits a couple more weeks, they just might have the answer they're looking for to restart rallies. Also, they're banking on counter-demonstrations outside the rallies to keep the level of panic up.

[New Breed Leader]

13. He's scared of his dwindling poll numbers

plus the BLM protests were the excuse he was looking for.

[spanone]

14. trump hasn't MENTIONED the cornonavirus in a month.

He couldn't care less.

Oh, and by the way, FUCK OFF PARSCALE
