Made for Vegas: Trump's rallies now a 'nostalgia act'

Donald Trump should leave Mierda-a-Lago.

He needs to take up long-term residency in a town that really understands what he has to offer: Las Vegas.

The former president has been back on the road, with two packed rallies in Ohio and Florida. But both performances revealed a new side of Trump's relationship with his hardcore base: In many ways, he's become what the entertainment industry calls a "nostalgia act."

He and his audience seemed most excited living off past glories and grievances: Hillary Clinton, the Mueller report, the election. They were happier looking back than looking forward. This impulse to marinate in the glow of times gone by is just the kind of powerful desire that paves the streets of Las Vegas with gold.

The audience would love his schtick; and he could help kill them off with COVID.

You have to keep the topics simple for his audience.

Well, as long as he's out there it boosts the Democrats' election chances.
