Donald Trump just stepped in it
Donald Trump keeps holding these daily press briefings because he mistakenly thinks they’re helping his sinking reelection prospects, or because he just enjoys being a belligerent clown, or both. Part of the trouble for Trump is that he’s spending each day handing his adversaries a series of easy talking points to use against him heading into the election.
When Trump called on respected PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor today, she asked him about the political rallies he was holding in February, after he’d already been briefed about the severity of the coronavirus crisis, and the message that his rallies sent to the American people. Trump responded by saying that he didn’t know if he held rallies in February.
Wait a minute here. He doesn’t know? HE DOESN’T KNOW? He doesn’t remember if he was at his own rallies? Was he unconscious? Did he have a stroke? Was he on drugs? It would explain his slurred speech. But seriously, Trump just stepped in it. He just gave away that he has no way of explaining away his February rallies. As the general election heats up, TV ad after TV ad is going to shove this down Trump’s throat.
