The Disunited States of Trump (Trump Thread #104)

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Trump used manipulation and race-baiting four years ago. He’s at it again. We are weary and worried but we shall persist.

A Trump ad featuring Russian jets and weapons? Considering how far he is up Putie's arse it doesn't surprise me that he thinks of Russian troops as 'our' military.

Not that it will make any difference, but

Scientific American backs Joe Biden, endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time in its 175-year history

That's how bad and anti-science Trump is.

@AcrossthePond55

This is verbatim from a local news station video clip:

Newsom: Climate change is making the temperatures so much hotter.
Scrotus: It will start getting cooler, you just watch.
Newsom: I'm afraid science disagrees with you.
Scrotus: I don't think science knows frankly.

Sigh. I'd run away and join the circus, but the circus is already in town. At least, one of the clowns is here.

That's him trying to "avoid panic".

Because it worked so well last time.

The clip with his sulky toddler pose is absurd.

He has a belter of a sulky face that is worse than a tantruming toddler

He does.

Which clip in particular ? (There must be loads.)

lol Lweji.

48 days until Election Day.
127 days until Inauguration Day

herd mentality perfect

It's herd mentality that is spreading Covid-19, via certain groups refusing to wear masks or socially distance because Trump doesn't bother encouraging either.

And according to Worldometer, the USA has now passed 200k deaths. On Trump's watch.

Herd immunity - if it is achievable (and there are some doubts) - would result in an estimated 1 to 2 million deaths in the States and millions more with lasting health problems from covid.

Herd mentality.

I think this will melt.

'A new bronze statue to US First Lady Melania Trump has been unveiled near her hometown in Slovenia.
It replaces a wooden sculpture erected last year, which was set alight shortly afterwards by unknown arsonists.
Some described the original as a "disgrace" or a "Smurfette", saying it did not look like Mrs Trump.
The new statue features a plaque dedicating the sculpture to "the eternal memory of a monument to Melania which stood at this location".'

Numbers from Florida are disheartening but here is something more hopeful (with all the usual caveats).

The new statue in Slovenia is not Melania Trump; it is a memorial to a (very bad) statue which was thought to be intended to be of her.

Herd mentality is absolutely right.
And he's certainly up playing it.

47 days! Bloody hell. That is soon.

People could and should be starting their voting process now, if not last week. Next week may be too late in some places.
