President Trump has asked his campaign to put him on the road every single day from now until Nov. 3.

Behind the scenes: His team is in the process of scheduling events to make that happen, two sources familiar with the discussions tell Axios. But not everyone thinks this is a good idea. One adviser said, “He’s going to kill himself.”

Why it matters: Look at the polls. Trump is in need of a rebound, and he's betting he's got a better chance on the move than sitting around the West Wing.

What we're hearing: The campaign is more worried than ever that seniors — a crucial voting bloc — are abandoning Trump over his handling of the pandemic.

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I WON RIGHT, #1 here!

3. I wasn't going to say anything about that bit...

32. I can live with that

2. He needs the free advertising of the media covering these events. They should refuse or give...

...Biden equal time.

4. Superspreader in chief

[pfitz59]

6. He looked terrible yesterday

and had fresh bandages covering his IV wounds.

[snowybirdie]

8. Interesting, today

played a video of tRump at Walter Reed (supposedly)signing a piece of paper. No bandage where an iv might have been. Saturday, he was spotted with a large one on his hand. No iv in the hospital?????!

[Me.]

7. Familiarity Breeds More Contempt?

[helpisontheway]

9. He did that in the last campaign too. In fact, I remember he was going to some

odd picks and we could not figure it out. It was then that his campaign said the blue states that we ended up losing were tightening. Rest is history. 😕

[machoneman]

10. I say good, let him kill himself. Pence takes over, gets killed, if not for real in the election....

..Game, Set, Match!

[truthisfreedom]

11. Go for it!

Every day! Stress yourself right the fuck out!

[Sherman A1]

12. What could possibly go wrong

[Yeehah]

14. It sounds like Trump is terrified of losing the election

He knows that justice will catch up with him when he leaves the protection of the White House.

[niyad]

15. I was going to remind the walking plague that he has a job, nut then he has not worked anyway.

And posters have reminded me of the possible benefit of him being out on the hustings.

[jmowreader]

16. It occurs to me...

...that giving people who were going to vote for you a deadly disease at one of your rallies is probably not the best campaign tactic. But then again, I'm not the fat bastard who claimed he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any votes.

[thenelm1]

17. Geez, I wish my employer had let me ignore my job to make a case for my continued employment

Particularly if I could do that on my employer's dime. His campaign should be paying for this travel, but it's broke. Yet, you know damned well he'll find a way for the taxpayers to foot the bill for his BS while he jets around the country.

And he's never really done any work anyway (ever), other than watching FOX - and never will. Just flourish the sharpie when necessary.

So if he happens to off himself - a feature or a bug? (I'll keep any thought on that to myself on that score.)

[area51]

18. Low-stamina #DementiaDonnie?

I doubt he can campaign every day.

19. For a guy so COVID-free, his family does not seem to be present very much.

20. If Trump wants to push himself so hard that he drops dead on election day,

who am I to say no?

[durablend]

22. If not for the fact

That he'll likely infect thousands of his idiot followers, who will infect other innocent people unknowingly (or "whatever, just don't care&quot

[Nasruddin]

21. Dangerous

This is extremely dangerous. Biden must do likewise.

We are trying to move a small number of people from one side to another, in about 5 states, and they don't like what they have to do (vote against the Republican). An active and vigorous appearing Donald Trump could allow them to slip back to his side.

Does anyone have any idea what Biden's schedule looks like?

[PSPS]

30. LOL. Well, thanks for your "concern!"

[BarbD]

23. What he wants to do and what he is able to do are two different things.

He is in a panic. This is only going to make him look weaker as he will be unable to sustain the physical strain. In spite of the super drugs he took and thinking he is superman, there is no way he has the stamina.

In the meantime, Biden acting presidential maintains a steady campaign while taking all precautions for himself, his staff and everyone around him.

[LogicFirst]

24. Good. Let him kill a bunch of Republicans in republican strongholds.

[Mr.Bill]

25. They must have the ICU room

finished in Air Force 1.

[Grokenstein]

26. He's really, REALLY determined

...to act out one of those horror stories in which one infected person manages to get everyone killed. The Stand, Masque of the Red Death, Cabin Fever, take your pick. (Just not World War Z, in which less-lethal diseases are found to somehow render people "invisible" to inexplicably perceptive and high-energy superzombies, which nonetheless politely swarm around said "invisible" people instead of trampling them. cough)

[flibbitygiblets]

27. I hope we get to see the "Superman" costume, wheezing and grasping handrails

Sucky timing to get COVID due to his own stupidity and hubris. Should be fun to watch.

[videohead5]

28. Just wait until

Those steroids wears off. That's what's making him feel so good.

[Rebl2]

29. Are you sure

they will take him off the steroids? He may demand to be kept on them so he feels good. It will damage you Donny if you stay on them to long-even more damaged than you are. The steroids will get you one way or another. Sorry to say, I know. I have been on them since I was 18 for RA. I am now in my 60’s and suffering the consequences. I am on a tiny dose now, but the damage is done. When they put me on them I was told I would be on them for life. That was the thinking back in the 70’s.

33. Steroid treatment is a double-edged sword

It's extremely effective in treating inflammation and auto-immune diseases, but the side effects are brutal.

[onetexan]

34. Damn Con wants to take away seniors' healthcare, Social Security & expose them to covid

ya think they'd wana vote him out? Don't mess w seniors.
