57. That's a pretty desperate election strategy - the Trumps are telling their targets

May 2020

"it's all the Deep State and the media pretending this virus is a problem, that's why we don't hold rallies, they're stopping us, but they won't bother after the election". So they're gambling everything on fooling their gullible supporters until the election. If they were to get back in somehow, they'd then have to admit that was all bullshit, and the virus is a real danger. In which case their base would blame them from as soon as the election is over. But I guess they wouldn't care, because they'd have the power of pardon, and could just make out like bandits as long as Republican senators won't vote to impeach or implement the 25th Amendment. The country would be in truly deep shit, though.

They must have summits on, what can we get our gullible dewsgirl May 2020 #1
