Has any member of the media asked WHY TRUMP IS HOLDING RALLIES?

He is not a candidate.

What are the rallies for.

Looking at you, Brianna.

Another humiliating media FAIL.

It hasn't been a major topic of discussion, though. It's one reason they need to interview trump himself, make him take the 5th.

... they are to support MAGA candidates. I believe the recent one was said to support Mr. Oz and some other guy. They both appeared - they are running in PA. However, Trump is running for President. The question should be, "Will he announce he is NOT going to be a 2024 candidate." Also, he loves the crowds - he's addicted to fame.

Two goals....

1. Keep himself in the headlines in preparation for 2024 where he will win the Republican Nomination for President.

and

2. Put his prestige within the Republican Party to endorse candidates for the 2022 (this November) Elections...by supporting them in appearances and fund-raising he is collecting *baggies on those candidates which he will need in 2024.


* "baggies"....a favor to be called in at a later date, or, likewise, a small bag of shit to use on those candidates later.

These guys used to pull up somewhere with their painted carriages and hawk some product out of the back while making outlandish claims about what it could do. They put on quite a show and raked in plenty of cash--leaving before anyone could confront them after finding out the products didn't work as promised and all their money was wasted. Sometimes people were actually harmed from them.
What a pitch the hawker gave, though.
TFG is no different.

And that's a good thing, I think.

Also, at least here in the DC area, the media covered Biden's appearance at a rally for Maryland Democratic candidates, again in part to point out that the repub candidate for governor is a full blown MAGAT.

Just like President Biden's appearance at a rally in Maryland was a rally for Maryland Democratic candidates. The difference of course is that Biden made the Maryland rally about the Maryland candidates while trump made the Pennsylvania rally about trump.
