Trump cuts rally short.



Tweet text: Aaron Rupar
@atrupar
Trump's speech in Erie, PA, began with him telling his audience he didn't really want to be there ("I wasn't coming to Erie&quot , continued with him repeatedly complaining about being cold (it's 50 degrees there), and ended with him announcing he was cutting it short. Weird.

will he burn it down as he departs? Just think for a 2nd - this insane person has the nuclear codes and the power to use them.


I'm not suggesting that he would commit global suicide but I don't think it is zero probability either.

And unfortunately, everthing in between too...

burn everyone he depended on, maybe even his family, deny all this happened, and leverage one more in along string of losing enterprise for fame and fortune. someone said maybe a media empire....... limbaugh is dying so maybe he thinks he can take his place as leader of the republican party

His cabinet will have nothing to gain by standing by him if he loses, and they might decide to minimize the damage to the country/world if we are lucky.

Or maybe the internals on PA came back that it's a lost cause. And he didn't want to spend a second on a lost cause.

They stand there and laugh at his every utterance as if he's a comic genius in the tradition of a Henny Youngman or George Carlin.

"I never expected to be in Erie" HAHAHAHAHA.

"Before the plague came in I had it made" HOHOHOHOHOHO.

"I'm gonna cut this short cuz it's like 40 degree in here" HAHAHOHOHAHAHOHO

There's something wrong with these people.

That all those people at these rallies see this asshole as a champion of the middle class working man. They think he cares about them. This guy, born into wealth they could never imagine. A guy that has never done a hard days work in his life. A person for whom the concept of living paycheck to paycheck is more foreign and unknown than the biology of an organism on a planet in another galaxy.

Trump wouldn't spend enough time with these people to wipe dog shit off his shoes on them if he didn't need their vote. These people wouldn't be allowed in one of his hotels or on one of his exclusive golf courses. If they got in the best vehicle they owned and tried to drive into the neighborhood where Mar a Lago is the local cops would pull them over and ask them what their peasant ass was doing there.

But this is their middle class hero champion? It would be laughable if it wasn't for what this delusional belief has done to this country by putting this incompetent lunatic in the White House.
