So Trump has used the term "Kung Flu" in 2 successive rallies.

Kellyanne Conway ripped reporters for even asking if it was being used in the White House. She would not tolerate that, her children are 1/4 Filipino, blah blah blah. Now? Crickets from Kellyanne.

The wall was a great campaign tag. Can't use it now, because with an R congress for 60% of the term, the "wall" isn't a wall, and it's about 10% finished.
Lock her up won't work. Not running against her.
He's trying Biden is old, but polls show that not working, & it increases questions about his acuity.
So, tried and true "those damn foreigners" is all that's left.
Well, that and dead "babies".

Bank on it.

Like a drug addict he needs bigger doses to get high.
The hooting and hollering aren't enough, so he needs to ratchet up the racism to make them roar louder.

The n word is coming.

He will keep using slurs because no one is holding him accountable and he can control the media with outrageous actions.
