I remember where I was at listening to that on the radio and thinking “of course he was going to do this stunt”. The radio guy says, “well Donald Trump running for President, what do you think? Does he have a chance?” I thought no, even the American electorate isn’t dumb enough to make Trump president. And here we are.

Most people thought he would be beaten in the primary, but he robbed, stole and cheated his way into the White House.

Therefore, I beg each and every one of you. Don’t look at polls. Don’t assume Biden will win. Act as if Biden is far behind and you’ve got to do everything in your power to get him elected. VOTE!!!

Another Trump term will destroy anything left. We cannot survive it. Lives literally depend on getting Biden elected.
