Trump Cancels New Hampshire Rally Due to ‘Weather’ But Many are Doubting That Excuse

By

So, no one is buying this:

I believe we have sufficient trust with our readers that even if Trump deletes and revises this tweet, he spelled “peace” as “Pease” in the original. We understand the odd typo, we have them. However, he’s the president and everything should be checked and be perfect. But never mind that, even, some things are just not “typos.” The letter “c” doesn’t just accidentally have the same sound as “s,” nor do the two appear on the keyboard near each other.

But the larger point is that no one believes this is about the weather. This appears to be far more about the fact that COVID is raging. It’s a good thing to cancel it for COVID reasons. It is a bad thing that he can’t admit it. He is afraid of another Tusla situation.

Due to COVID, he can’t pack them in like he used to, which – again, isn’t “bad,” people do need to act responsibly. And he needs to focus the government on COVID, not rallies. If he did something about COVID, it would benefit him far more than rallies!

But, the weather doesn’t really look that bad?

Could it be something else? The internet seems to think so.

The above is damned right, he won’t absorb bad polls into his reality. His campaign will continue to feed him “internal” polls showing Trump what he wants to see. The campaign staffers’ jobs are on the line – well-paid jobs – contingent upon Trump appearing to do well. This sets up a very scary dynamic whereby Trump might convince himself that the election was “rigged” due to expectations from his own polls.

OMG that’s funny.

The above is a huge matter. We also believed that even the GOP wouldn’t let him past the “bounty thing,” and perhaps the voters won’t. But right now it appears that the official party apparatus and polls will!

Very possible.

So the New Hampshire rally is off. Good! Protect people! But this surely isn’t the reason that Trump canceled it. It would appear that the base largely canceled it themselves, either out of fear, or because it is fading.

Peace, y’all
