If Trump does win this election, by the end of his second term, he'll be 82. If Biden were to win, then by the end of his second term he'll be 86.

 

There are a shedload of folks over 60 - more than ever.

We are like a python swallowing the Baby Boomer generation.

I'm not buying into this. I reckon it's nothing but a cover excuse by Trump and his team. It would have got out beforehand if true. 

Seems Trumps team aren't buying into it either.

 

Donald Trump: Re-election campaign denies low turnout manipulation claim

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is "furious" at the "underwhelming" crowd at his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday evening, a major disappointment for what had been expected to be a raucous return to the campaign trail after three months off because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to multiple people close to the White House.

 

The president was fuming at his top political aides Saturday even before the rally began after his campaign revealed that six members of the advance team on the ground in Tulsa had tested positive for COVID-19, including Secret Service personnel, a person familiar with the discussions said.

 

Trump asked those around him why the information was exposed and expressed annoyance that the coverage ahead of his mega-rally was dominated by the revelation.

 

While the Trump re-election effort boasted that it would fill BOK Center, which seats more than 19,000 people, only 6,200 supporters ultimately occupied the general admission sections, the Tulsa fire marshal told NBC News.

 

The campaign was so confident about a high turnout that it set up an overflow area, which it had expected to attract thousands. But the plan was scrapped at the last minute when only dozens gathered at the time the vice president and the president were set to address the crowd inside.

 

"It's politics 101: You under-promise and overdeliver," a Trump ally said, conceding the missteps the Trump 2020 team took in the lead-up to the event by saying nearly 1 million people had responded to requests for admission.

 

Much of the blame is falling on campaign manager Brad Parscale, who in the days leading up the event aggressively touted the number of registrations, but those close to him stress that his job is safe, for now.

 

Last month, after dismal polling revealed that the president is trailing the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, in key battleground states that Trump won in 2016, Parscale was reprimanded and a deputy was brought in to help steer the ship.

 

There are growing concerns among Trump campaign officials that neither the president nor the 2020 team have a coherent message for why he should serve a second term. Saturday evening's meandering, nearly two-hour rally speech is the latest evidence of a lack of a targeted strategy to attack Biden with less than five months to go until the general election.

It really is, especially the bit where he impersonates the General saying "Sir, the ramp is ready to go", brilliant.

He will very easily be able to combat any ageism with a 30 second montage of Trump trying to drink a glass of water.

 

Yep, it's really shaping up to be a serious, issues-based, intellectual dogfight, isn't it?  

 

It'll be like watching Proust and Descartes going quill-to-quill.

Now he is the only option for anything resembling a return to normal.

 

Smoking guns, invasions, axes of evil, oil wars/war on terror, the international policeman - a return to normal is very tempting.

He doesn't look that far off starting another impeachment trial off there, this time for a white president using blackface. Look at the difference between his neck/upper chest and his face! I've not even seen it mentioned though, he's that fucking mad that this stuff is just normal now.

 

edit : found one after searching.

On the plus side, he was there to entertain the morons in the overspill, so fuck all for the fucking toad to do, and so no audience for the bitter fascist prick.

And, of course, a time that had absolutely nothing to do with where we are now.

Make him self-isolate for the rest of his life when he crawls 'back to Blighty'.

If true he was outsmarted by a bunch of teens and K-Poppers it’ll be funny as fuck.

The organisers denied this. Apparently they think that the other explanation  - that they lied about a million applications and/or Trump's support is evaporating - is more acceptable. 

[Trumo]

No doubt we'll get a few diatribes about the 'failing' Mayor of Tulsa and the 'dead weight' Governor of Oklahoma etc. Trump lashes out at anything and everybody whenever something about him is portrayed in a negative light, especially when it's so public. Anything and anyone that doesn't eulogise and fawn over him, or presides over something that doesn't show him to be the greatest thing ever, is routinely described as failing or a loser.

 

Of course you'll still get the usual roll call of morally bankrupt shitstains and lobotomised one-toothed sister-shaggers* saying it was a roaring success.

 

* Just to be clear, that applies to the ones doing the claiming as well as the sisters themselves!

Has anyone seen Fahrenheit 11/9 where Moore talks about Trump and Ivanka? It's quite unnerving.
