That may be your best post ever. No disagreement on that from me!

Who’s the dummy in the Trump campaign that decided to play Fortunate Son as he got off the plane tonight?

[thepostman]

I swear people on his campaign staff are just trolling him at this point. Made me laugh though.

Relevant portion: “ Former White House Press Secretary [Sarah Huckabee-Sanders] wrote in her book—"Speaking for Myself: Faith, Freedom, and the Fight of Our Lives Inside the Trump White House"—that Trump told her the video for 'November Rain' was "the greatest music video of all time" and made her watch it with him in the Oval Office to prove his point, though she "didn't disagree."”

Any thoughts @PurpleHaize? Seems to be a couple of your areas here

I’m a bigger fan of When Doves Cry

So when Trump first started talking about a 3rd term I dismissed as a ridiculous joke, but I'm starting to wonder if he is starting to buy into his joke.

I'm just being paranoid.....right??

[Purple Haize]

Ha. He mentioned that during his impeachment farce. It’s just Trump being Trump. If people can’t take that as a humorous jab at this point they are way to invested in their Trump hate

[thepostman]

I guess I'm just paranoid. He went from delivering it in a way that you could clearly tell he was joking to sounding more and more serious. Maybe he is just old and doesn't have the energy to deliver punch lines.

Or it’s an old punch line and it got the energy it deserved

[Jonathan Carone]

Things like that concern me more for the followers of Trump than him actually meaning it. It empowers conspiracy theories.

On the flip side, it concerns me because of the people who take everything he says seriously because it empowers more fake news witch hunt stories.

That’s why I think he’s so dangerous. Because he doesn’t think about what he says, he empowers the fringes on both sides to keep going even further.

You give him too much credit. His delivery at these rallies have not had the same energy as he had 4 years ago.

It isn't a shot. At his age, I plan on sitting at a lake with a fishing pole. Haha

Yeah, that is a valid point. It is easier for me to shurg it off and just role my eyes but it certainly is effective in firing up the fringes.

I agree that his energy isn’t the same. But for a dude his age it’s off the charts. You also aren’t dealing with the same types of crowds. If he was able to hold rallies inside packed arenas like the last 3 years I think the energy would be there
Lookit. Being President wears you down. I’m always fascinated by the Before/After photos of Presidents. W Bush really aged. Even Clinton. The fact that Trump is able to keep his activity level this high is amazing. And it should give you pause about Biden. Trump does 1 or 2 live events a day in conjunction with his Day job as POTUS. Biden does 1 event then shelters in place for a few days. This last week he sent the press home several days because he had nothing scheduled. If he can’t handled a few on this (now weeks) of intense campaigning how can he keep the pace expected of a POTUS?

Or you can use a modicum of common sense and realize it’s just a joke. Presidents are allowed to do that you know.

The fact that the press lets him get away with answering no tough questions is an absolute disgrace. This should be patently obvious to any honest observer. I really do think this strategy will backfire if his handlers ever allow him to actually debate.

[thepostman]

I don't think it is the strategy of limiting Biden's appearances is what will back fire. It is having a candidate like Biden that is backfiring. He isn't as bad of a candidate as Hillary was but he is still pretty bad. Which is why he won't win. Keeping his appearances will give him the best shot to somehow pull this off. He isn't going to pull it off so it won't end up mattering.

I can tell it’s a joke. But the last 12 years shows us a large portion of the population can’t.

[TH Spangler]

A new letter bearing the names of 235 retired U.S. military leaders supports President Trump in what is described as arguably "the most important election since our country was founded."

Every election is called the most important election since the country was founded.

But this time it is for real!!!!

Joe Biden is a worse candidate, but Hillary would’ve been a worse President, IMO. The future of a HRC-led USA was frightening. Six months ago, I believed that a Biden win wouldn’t be that bad and would t change the country that much and would absolutely be a single-term presidency.

Now, Joe can’t stay on the trail. Doesn’t have the motor for it. Picked KH as a VP?! WTF?! She’s awful. So, six months later, the obvious Realization is Joe can’t hack the Oval even if elected. He’ll be just like he was as a VP: ceremonial and ornamental. So if he wins, whose really makes decisions? And if he can’t survive the term...God Almighty save us!

With DJT, you at least know whose making the decisions. And if HE doesn’t service the term, I like the backup a LOT!

In November, I think Biden loses because of low voter turnout. Love for a visionary message and candidate drove voter turnout sky-high in the Obama campaigns. And those were still close enough. HRC wasn’t loved, Joe isn’t loved. And I don’t think hatred for the opponent alone gives Biden the turnout he needs to win.

And so now the D’s are grasping at straws. They can genuinely feel the desperation. And they did it to themselves. Death of a 1000 cuts.

If Trump can just keep the crazy tamped down to a “normal” for him (I know, I know), he wins. Maybe big.

Look. What are y’all worried about? The formers made the Exec branch the weakest for a reason.

[Jonathan Carone]

What do we think of the EO he’s signing to “establish a national commission to promote patriotic education” to ensure “Our youth will be taught to love American with all of their heart and all of their souls”?

[thepostman]

More pandering to his base.

Would this mean pretending we are somehow perfect? I don't really understand how ignoring bad parts of our history is at all beneficial to anybody. Other countries do this and we condemn it. Maybe that isn't what he means but that is sure what it seems like to me.

At the end of the day, I don't see this anymore than a poltical move. Nothing radical will come of it. It will just make his base feel safe and it will make his critics even louder. Which is exactly how he likes it.

[Purple Haize]

It’s a great counter to the 1619 Project or whatever. I don’t know what the curriculum looks like but I’m not sure saying America is a marvel of History is a bad thing. I don’t think being Patriotic is a bad thing. At some point in my life it has become viewed as such

[thepostman]

How can you say it is good or bad? Nobody even knows what it is. Pointing out our greatness and our flaws should all be discussed. If it isn't then we can't continue to become better. The 1619 project isn't even that wide spread but the concerns are valid. I just don't want a over correction.

But I'm pretty sure this is just pandering and nothing more.
