He's realising that he's never going to win over wavering moderates so he's going all out to nail down the ultra Conservatives

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 01/09/2020 16:35

People lurking "in the dark shadows" controlling American streets? A plane full of black-uniformed "thugs"? What on earth is Trump talking about?

See? His secret police, that's who he is talking about.

Look, anything Trump claims is being done to/against him always turns out in the end to be being done by him.

His endless projection is very peculiar.

AcrossthePond55 · 01/09/2020 19:01

He's trying to rile up his new target audience, the ubiquitous 'suburban housewife'. Women who tremble in fear when a strange car comes down the road. Women who are sure that every stranger is a rapist or a child abductor. Women who just know that 'an other' is going to buy that house down the block and devalue her property.

In short, mostly women who are probably already part of his base. Because other than them, those women probably do not exist.

I've rarely seen anything as incoherent as the person on the plane comments.

Oh. Ok. Now I've seen the soup one. twitter.com/rexchapman/status/1300918107976986624?s=21

This is gaslighting at its finest. These 'students' must have studied at Trump University - you'd think they know this is currently Trump's America, and not what will happen in the future, as it is the now ... my head hurts.

I just find it ironic that they call all this mayhem Biden's America, seemingly forgetting that Trump is the POTUS and has been for years!

Mrsmorton I read what he said about the soup. It's Shock written down!

Trump has denied he had a series of mini strokes. I have not read anywhere that the Press said this. A stroke, yes. But a series of mini strokes, no. It sounds like the denial of something true.

Melania's ex-friend and associate has a book and tapes and she is not happy with betrayal.

Ugh! Angry what a tool he is.

The US government has said that it will not participate in a global initiative to develop, manufacture and equitably distribute a vaccine for Covid-19 because the effort is co-led by the World Health Organization.
www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/01/us-covid-19-vaccine-refuses-international-effort-coronavirus?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Asked to confirm a report in the Washington Post that the US will not be joining Covax, a White House spokesman, Judd Deere, said in a statement: “Under President Trump’s leadership, vaccine and therapeutic research, development, and trials have advanced at unprecedented speed to deliver groundbreaking, effective medicines driven by data and safety and not held back by government red tape.

“The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus, but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China.”

In a move decried by health experts, the Trump administration announced in May it was withdrawing from the WHO and cutting its funding to the organization. The US was the biggest funder of the organization, contributing $450m in membership dues and contributions to specific programs. Donald Trump alleged that the global health organization was controlled by Chinese influences.

Soup. Of course. Each morning the affected states clear up lots of dented tins.

Why soup? Wouldn't other tins do?

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 02/09/2020 12:40

It is possible that a policeman somewhere has been hit by a tin of soup thrown by some infuriated housewife on her way home from the shops, I suppose.

But is a brick really too heavy to throw? Would that be why we always used to throw half-bricks? Yes, probably; a brick weighs about 4lb.

But it does have the advantage of not taking fingerprints....

Whereas tins of soup could be passed straight on to soup-kitchens.

There are clearly things to be said for either missile.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 02/09/2020 12:53

Less absurdly, it is likely that at least some fires in buildings during riots may well be caused by tear-gas grenades/canisters, which produce gas hot enough to cause fires in an enclosed space.

In the matter of throwing bricks:

www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jun/03/blog-posting/fact-checking-theories-about-bricks-and-black-live/ has a picture of a brick sticking out of a window in Raleigh, (it looks posed to me: a brick hitting a window tends to go through it or bounce off, not stick half-way, even with safety glass) and there are wild rumours all over the place about "piles of bricks" (which generally turn out to be for local building works, or not to exist at all when investigated) being carefully left where that well-known organisation "antifa" are planning to hold a riot later on....

Nothing about tins of soup that I can find apart from Trump suddenly coming out with the theory. Even Breitbart has gone with bricks rather then cans of soup, so far.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 02/09/2020 14:24

Don't tell Trump but this is how members of Antifa conceal their deadly weapons after stocking up at the supermarket.
