Last night's rally, he's telling folk that "the doctors" get money when they diagnose covid... Wankbadger.

Roussette · 25/10/2020 07:40

I honestly think he just does not get it. At one of the rallies yesterday, he was banging on about testing yet again.
Saying 'if we didn't test so much, we wouldn't have so many cases'
Does he not understand? People would still get it and die, it just wouldn't show in the figures. But that's how he does things isn't it...
Deceive and lie.
And he's had it, so feels immune, and as he said in that link... 'no, I don't feel responsible'.
Cases are soaring, but he's got bored with it.

We can only hope that because it has hit the red states with no sign of abating, perhaps people will think.... even though he dismisses it

Trump's very vocal criticism of mail-in ballots and unfounded claims of voter fraud will end up biting him on the bum. Utah last voted for a Democrat in 1964.

From article in Washington Post:
Fearful calls flood election offices as Trump attacks mail-in voting, threatening participation in GOP strongholds.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fearful-calls-flood-election-offices-as-trump-attacks-mail-in-voting-threatening-participation-in-gop-strongholds/2020/10/24/831e896e-1474-11eb-ba42-ec6a580836ed_story.html

Across Utah, concerns about mail balloting have grown so severe that as many as 22 percent of likely voters plan to vote in person, according to a Y2 Analytics survey earlier this month. That would represent double the share of voters who normally participate in person, Hatch said, warning that the state, ordinarily equipped for a fully mail-in system, “does not have enough equipment in place to handle that many voters on one day.” He envisioned long lines and health risks, as well as the possibility that “voters who can’t wait that long to vote will be disenfranchised simply because they won’t return their ballots the same way they’ve been returning them for years.”


“If they come in person at that rate, our system will be overwhelmed, and those who have aggressively expressed concerns about voting will have needlessly fulfilled their own prophecy,” Hatch said.

I've been sceptical of the FakeMelania stuff, but this is definitely not her.

Roussette · 25/10/2020 11:21

I have always been very sceptical of ridiculous body double theories, but there has been 2 or 3 times for me with Melania that I agree with you Owl, and this is one of them. Always the double has sunglasses on and teeth and gums very different.

Melania has not been seen since flicking away his hand at the last Debate, and she always looks so miserable, unlike this photo!

Here's lots of comparisons

A second outbreak in the WH. Pence's chief of staff and three aides. But he still carries on with the campaigning...

Lweji · 25/10/2020 12:27

Yup. Not Melania. I wonder how many body double duties she performs.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 25/10/2020 12:49

Behave!

lionheart · 25/10/2020 13:57

If she is smiling and within spitting distance of him it can't be Melania.

lionheart · 25/10/2020 14:22

And ugh.

lionheart · 25/10/2020 15:09

Well, this is festive in a Trumpian fashion.

www.wsj.com/articles/health-agency-scraps-coronavirus-ad-campaign-leaving-santa-claus-in-the-cold-11603630802?mod=e2tw

'As part of the plan, a top Trump administration official wanted the Santa performers to promote the benefits of a Covid-19 vaccination and, in exchange, offered them early vaccine access ahead of the general public, according to audio recordings. Those who perform as Mrs. Claus and elves also would have been included.'

lionheart · 25/10/2020 15:15

'Ric Erwin, chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, called the news “extremely disappointing,” adding: “This was our greatest hope for Christmas 2020, and now it looks like it won’t happen.”'

BruceAndNosh · 25/10/2020 16:59

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

Anyone else think she was voting against him? I bet she wants him to win this time even less than she wanted it last time.
Sadly that photo is not from the current voting period. White House has announced that Melania will vote in person 8n 3rd November
AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 25/10/2020 17:17

Oh well. Couldn't it be from some other occasion he was on the ballot?

VeryLittleOwl · 25/10/2020 17:31

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

Yes, it was taken when they were voting in New York in the 2016 election.
lionheart · 25/10/2020 17:31

You're right. I'm trying to remember where it was from now.

Donald—I appreciate the free publicity for Borat! I admit, I don’t find you funny either. But yet the whole world laughs at you.

I’m always looking for people to play racist buffoons, and you’ll need a job after Jan. 20. Let’s talk!
