Trump says the November 3 election will "decide whether we end the pandemic" or not, meaning that re-electing him will end the pandemic that has caused 200,000 confirmed deaths under him and is not close to ending.

Wouldn't it be great if those fake mask wearing Trumplican's MAGA masks were made such that, over a short time, the chemical engineering of the mask dissolves the MAGA, the red turned blue, and, the new message reads "I'm for stupid!"

The Guardian lede is false, likely the spin Trump flacks will use to try and clean this up tomorrow.

(85,986 posts)...they aren't giving parents and even teachers information about infected children and others and even at that, numbers reported are rising in almost every segment of the country where schools are opening.

(25,258 posts)And he is expanding his turf. One reason to expand turf is coat tail effect. May not win, but will bring down ballot races up.
But Trump has rallies ever single day. But Trump's a PT Barnum. And you know what PT Barnum used to say......

(85,986 posts)...there are virtual connections to be made, not the retail pressing of the flesh of primaries.
Look at the fundraising (and the consistent polling advantages in key states) and you'll see our party and nominee are reaching actual voters, not just a rabid mob of ignoramuses.
