Trump's Nevada rally was an exercise in delegitimizing voting -- and denying reality
Donald Trump traveled to Minden, Nevada — a town about 50 miles south of Reno — for a rambling, grievance-filled campaign rally on Saturday.
Most well fed president since Taft.
Over the course of a 90-minute speech, Trump attacked mail-in voting, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, and Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak, while lamenting his press coverage, long drives, and the fact he was not able to have Air Force One behind him as he spoke. He also once again suggested that he should be allowed to serve more than two terms in office, which would be unconstitutional.
Notably absent from his speech was anything approaching a cohesive second-term agenda or a policy platform. What little policy his speech did contain was delivered suggestively, in the context of what the president is against, including limiting fracking and teaching children “poisonous anti-American lies in school.” Far more of Trump’s remarks focused on attempts to demean his opponents and preemptively cast doubt on an election that national polls show him trailing in.
Trump has spent much of the summer searching for an attack that will stick to Biden — that he’s senile; he’s a puppet of the radical left; and that he’ll usher in the apocalypse — and all three messages were on display in abundance Saturday.

Side roads were blocked; his crowd parked on the sides of the main road in, some walked one to two miles to get to the check in point, the air quality was poor from smoke, a few thousand packed in mostly without masks, and he gave one of his more angry, disjointed, divisive speeches. Someone this morning posted folks running through the dirt when gates were opened, like a marathon of red hats.
That county extends up to the casino area of Lake Tahoe, so many were from CA. COVID spikes are bound to show up in many communities. Craziness in the desert!
The sheriff in that county had said he wouldn't enforce the governor's 50 person limit--so this was also an exercise rule bending along with the ego stroking.
