Are you ready? Trump to take (2 hour!) pandemic victory lap in TV 'town hall'



Trump to take pandemic victory lap in TV 'town hall'

Inside Trump's attempts to reopen America


US President Donald Trump looks to declare victory, reopen the economy, and move on to his reelection campaign

Donald Trump will wrap himself in the mantle of America's arguably greatest president with a television extravaganza Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial meant to leave the coronavirus crisis behind and relaunch his election campaign.

snip//

That audacious shift begins Sunday at possibly the most hallowed monument in the country -- the statue of Abraham Lincoln, who led the country through civil war, urged reconciliation, and was assassinated in his moment of triumph.

Trump, who calls himself a "wartime president" and the coronavirus an "invisible enemy," will appear there for a two-hour Fox News "town hall," taking questions from the usually friendly network's hosts and from voters appearing by video.

The memorial is only just beyond the White House fences, but in the next few days, Trump will break months of self-quarantine with long-distance trips to the key electoral states of Arizona and Ohio.

I suppose a lot of his followers will buy it, but in a few weeks the truth will be obvious.

Thankfully we'll only have to endure what the other networks repeat, unless we mute or shut it off.

What is this bizarre little fantasy world he lives in? It's like he has become such a megalomaniac, he thinks he can will his vision and victory into existence, despite the outcome that would naturally be predicted using logic and reason.

but he's still the smartest guy in the room when he meets with his advisors. So, they might not see how this is going to come back on them with almost certainty.
