We're a little over 100 days from election (100 days and 11 hours)... A lot of unknowns, but to me the biggest figure continues to be that no prez with a net approval anywhere close to Trump's (-15 pts) at this point has ever been re-elected.

Plus no incumbent president ever considered using goon squads in US cities - potentially interfering in our November election.

He did the same thing b4 the 2018 midterms sending troops to the border. Hes desperate and he knows he gonna lose.
These stunts with armed mercenaries in our cities is not helping him.

Act as if were 15 points behind him. Then, we might get a win despite voter suppression, fraud, hacking, etc.
