Everyone piles on after Donald Trump’s “Abolish Suburbs” meltdown
The further Donald Trump falls behind in the polls, and the more his usual messaging starts to fail him, the more extreme he becomes with his rhetoric. Unfortunately for Trump, he’s getting into territory that’s less about scaring people into voting for him, and more about making everyone roll their eyes.
During his press conference yesterday, Donald Trump insisted that if Joe Biden wins, no one will get to have windows in their homes anymore. Today Trump tweeted that Biden wants to “Abolish Suburbs” – whatever that’s supposed to mean:
Joe Biden and the Radical Left want to Abolish Police, Abolish ICE, Abolish Bail, Abolish Suburbs, Abolish the 2nd Amendment – and Abolish the American Way of Life. No one will be SAFE in Joe Biden’s America!

There’s always a racist element to everything that Trump says, so “Abolish Suburbs” is certainly some attempt at sending a coded racist message to suburban white voters about how Biden will force them all to move to the big city and live among black people, or some deranged thing. Trump’s messaging is becoming every bit as incoherent and laughable as it is racist and evil.
