'Fox & Friends': What Is The Trump Campaign, A IDIOT?
Yes.
Donald Trump may have been pleasantly aggrieved to see his attorney general making up lies about mail-in ballot fraud on Fox News, and may have tweeted about that this morning, but we are guessing he was not happy with the mean sin words "Fox & Friends" said about him and his dumb campaign this morning:
"Fox & Friends" hosts on Monday debated why Trump's rally turnout was so low on Saturday. While fear of "anarchists… https: //t.co/dw0scUynPY

STEVE DOOCY: I don't know who thought it was a good idea to put 20,000 people in a room, with masks optional.
Yeah, what kind of IDIOT?
You know, besides Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale and everybody else on the campaign, who knew they needed to throw this rally in order to make Trump feel better about his sad presidency, the same way they run ads in the DC media market to make him feel better, even though the chances of those ads persuading DC voters are slim to none. They lie to him to make him feel better -- about his shitty polls, about how many people are coming to his big Klan birthday party rally, all of it .
And Jared Kushner, the failson-in-law whose fingerprints are always found wherever failure manifests in the Trump administration.
Also Donald Trump, the supreme idiot himself, who was so excited about the ten gabillion people obviously coming to shower him with love, and then who became enraged when he found out that in the deep red state of Oklahoma, only 6,200 people didn't suddenly realize they were busy that day and skip it.
The "Fox & Friends" idiots agreed that the Trump idiots should try for outside events next time, where all the idiots wouldn't have to worry so much about coughing their idiot droplets all over each other. (They didn't say it as mean as Wonkette just did.)
Of course, Saturday's debacle happened against the backdrop of six members of the Trump campaign advance team testing positive for the novel coronavirus. And it happened in Oklahoma, a state where coronavirus is absolutely raging, even though Trump really wanted this rally to show everybody that the pandemic is totally over and America has shifted its focus onto Making America Great Again A Second Time Because The First Time Was So Successful, Obviously.
Even among Trump's supporters, it's pretty clear that the pandemic is real, and America just isn't that into Trump. As the New York Times reported:
[A] broad group of advisers and associates acknowledged to one another that Mr. Trump had not been able to will public opinion away from fears about the spread of the coronavirus in an indoor space. And they conceded that myriad polls showing Mr. Trump's eroded standing were not fake, and that he might be on course to lose to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. , the presumptive Democratic nominee, in November.
The Times adds that often they can successfully lie to him, but Trump was able to see all those empty blue seats for himself. Can't hide that one.
Trump has another rally event this week in Arizona, a state that, just like Oklahoma, is having a serious coronavirus spike. We can hardly wait to see how many tens of people show up for that one, but we bet it will be tremendous. After that, it's Wisconsin. Will Trump get the adulation he so craves?
Oh boy, we hope there aren't any ramps at his rallies this week. He has a hard time with those.

"My main point in that comment was all you have to do is listen to him speak. You’re being openly disingenuous by nitpicking."
No, I'm not. I'm saying that whereas there actually are numerous examples of Trump doing things that are demonstrative of dementia (for instance, apparently forgetting that Rudy Giuliani was sitting facing him when talking about him and asking where he was, frequently slurring words- with none of Biden's known history of having a speech impediment etc) the accusations against Biden- like yours- tend to rest on things that haven't actually happened.
"Simply put, if after listening to the donald speak you state your belief that he’s suffering from some sort of dementia (he is)"
It's not based solely on his speech, although his speech is seriously problematic.
I am saying that you are being disingenuous, as are the people who push this "both sides" crap about Biden's mental state. It's not that I'm partisan, because I'm not a Democrat- I'm not even able to vote in the Presidential election- I am just extremely pissed off at the tendency to try and equate "both sides" in their shortcomings. Criticise Biden for his actual failings.
I seem to recall in the last week or two before the election, perhaps even before the Comey letter, Nate Silver caught a lot of flak from liberal pundits for suggesting that things were actually a lot closer than they looked and Trump actually had a chance of pulling it off if enough things broke his way. They did. I think the main difference this time around is that 1. Trump has shown, all too clearly, what kind of president he is and 2. Despite how hard he's trying, he's still not running against Hillary again. He's running the 2016 campaign all over again because that's all he can do, but I don't think it's going to work this time...
