Trump Keeps Rejecting Campaign Events
August 14, 2020 at 6:00 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Said one GOP source: Trump has told the campaign he only wants to do one or two events a week. They keep putting ideas in front of him, and he is telling them no.'
One Republican close to the West Wing speculated that Trump doesnt like doing small events like factory visits because they promote other peoples companies.

(10,885 posts)repeat the same BS he spews at every one of these events. Who's the guy sitting in his basement now?
He's getting so lazy that anything beyond his immediate abode is too much for him to handle...probably why he wants to do his acceptance speech from the WH lawn.

Really bad luck. Hee-haw

(31,261 posts)a bit more predictable. I have been saying all along that he need to do controlled rallies in critical states like Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan. Set the conditions of approved face masks (2 or 3-ply, no exhaust valves). properly worn, map out social distancing circles for different households, have a no-touch hand sanitizing stations around the venue. Educate rally goers so that they understand protocol. Walk anyone out that violates that protocol.
His staying close to home is giving Trump a talking point.

I am glad Biden is listening to scientists, doing what they suggest and protecting himself and everyone around him.
