In fine form, talking about fake news, Obama, immigration, how great his tax cuts are.
Now a woman next to him speaking, Mr. President, its an honor to be here with you ...she and husband have $200-300 more dollars in each paycheck due to new tax cuts.
Her husband verbalizing how great things are for him economically since tax cuts. The audience following orders and clapping on cue.
Other people speaking about how great Trump and tax cuts are. Garbage...

Which means these are rather well off people if that kind of money is only a few percentage points of their taxable income

(48,971 posts)the people there praised him.
He'd been at a fundraiser just before this appearance. Doesn't seem like it energized him.

(52,203 posts)The absolute worst would be him getting assassinated.
He needs to be exposed and America needs to reject him.
The last thing we need is for him to go out sympathetically and for all him crimes to be dismissed and forgotten.

(63,221 posts)the cause. The only reason I would like him to die a natural death is so that we never have to see or hear from him anymore. I would ultimately love to see him imprisoned for life, but I think that is unlikely to happen. The best thing would be for him to be exposed, humiliated and rejected by his followers but I'm not so sure that will happen either. One way or another, I just want him gone. I am just so tired of his presence in the public sphere.

The media would portray it as a return to normalcy. Not good at all.

Listening to Trump he is knowingly, intentionally creating hate for the other side and its clear he wants to be a dictator. We are in the middle of a very bad possibility if he lies his way into keeping the house and senate. We must be diligent and unrelenting in telling the truth and insisting that we reach Americans.

(63,221 posts)There is no way he has that kind of approval rating. His disgusting cult members will always hover around 30-35% but I don't think there are many others who really like him. They may tolerate him because he has an R next to his name, but if he became a liability, they would turn on him in a New York minute.

(6,091 posts)They accredited it to the economy. I was mortified at what it would take to bring this con man down. I mean how low? If trump cant do it I fear for the fate of humanity
