Trump changed the subject, but he's still losing the race

NBC News

WASHINGTON — Had you told us, at the beginning of the week, that Joe Biden would travel to Kenosha, Wis., and that the coronavirus would remain a backburner issue on the campaign trail, we would have concluded that this would have been a good week for President Trump.

Instead, it’s been a brutal one for Trump — now 60 days out until the election.

Poll after poll showed Biden ahead nationally and in the key battlegrounds, all conducted after the Republican convention and the GOP’s “law and order” focus.

Poll after poll found Trump losing the message battle on law/order/safety.

He's a failure on so many issues that it doesn't matter which one he tries to lead the media to. A law-n-order message from this fraud, this cheat, this conman, is laughable. Even the media have a dim recollection that he's broken laws and standards and customs with impunity. Of course, looming behind everything else is the pandemic, and Trump's complete abandonment of the American people to the ravages of Covid 19. Every day another thousand Americans die. Every day, reports filter in that other countries - even those shithole countries Trump holds in such contempt - are doing a better job of protecting their citizens.

So what's Trump left with? A thin tissue of lies that even Wolf Blitzer is beginning to call out in real time.

And it lost more than 800 points yesterday. After hitting an all-time high Tuesday, the NASDAQ had its worst day ever yesterday, dropping more than 1,000 points.

So, that's not going so good right now, either.

Social Historians will be writing volumes for decades. As well as Urban Studies will be in total revamp for the next decade. Interesting times ahead my friends,interesting.
