But with Trump it is the most vile overuse of taxpayer money as he grifts in the stratosphere with his flunky nepotes and hangers on. The day must come when the absolute proven criminality of this freak needs to end in a prison term. No way, no how is he exempt once his ass is pushed out the WH door.

Campaign events are supposed to be billed back to the campaign. Government paid trips are paid by the government. With the Dumpster's long-standing history of stiffing vendors, I doubt the taxpayers will ever see a penny from his campaign.

If he can't see 1000's while he's pitching his con, he just can't get into it. Absolutely cannot.

However, there was also an "overflow" crowd of Covidiots outside of the hangar when he spoke that he went over to talk to.

And there they all were, just a few miles from the Mayo Clinic, shoulder to shoulder and mostly maskless. Mayo needs to use some facial recognition software and deny treatment to any of those fools who dare to darken its doors.

Moves like someone 20 years younger, hiding behind those oversized sunglasses, and acting 'affectionate' towards Trump?
Couldn't get the accent right either.

Give me a break!

Begs the question though: Could the real Melania please stand up (and show herself)?

In his mind, this is so beneath him...he should be the anointed one without question, and just handed the crown for another four years. Not so fast, Chump.

One of the main reasons why he has these big rallies is to spread the virus as far and wide as possible. He thinks that if he spreads it around enough, the doctors and other responsible people will give up on trying to contain it and there won't be anymore shutdowns. He's hell-bent on this herd immunity bullshit.

Post Covid-19 even with massive amounts of steroids I didn't think he could handle the final weeks of a presidential campaign. Burger boy has reached his end. Lets hope in more ways then one.

By getting the court to not allow ballots that have already been mailed, to not be counted if they don’t arrive on Election Day. He doesn’t need the rally there. In his mind anyway.

No not the concession speech of course,
the election-was-rigged speech. I'm sure it will be a duzzy.
