Trump seeks to shore up military support in North Carolina campaign swing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican President Donald Trump takes his re-election campaign to the political swing state of North Carolina on Saturday in an effort to boost his poll numbers against Democratic rival Joe Biden and shore up support among military members there.

Trump has boasted about revitalizing the U.S. armed forces with increased defense budgets but has seen his political support slip among troops.

A poll in the Military Times last month found a "slight but significant" preference among active duty military members for Biden, the former vice president, and a decline in favorability for Trump.

North Carolina has a number of military bases, and the president's rally in Fayetteville is near Fort Bragg, a large base with tens of thousands of personnel.

Maybe he can talk about his personal Vietnam against venereal disease.

1. Shore up military support? No way now Dumpie.

You burned that bridge pretty solidly.

2. Hanger talk - Again

He flies in and uses AF1 as a backdrop for a rally at a hanger. I am wondering why this seems to be a very frequent type of event.

I guess it's the only way he can violate state orders/guidelines for gatherings during the pandemic.

It also means he won't see any negative signs or gestures from non-supporters.

It costs his campaign little, leaving the taxpayers on the hook for the rally.

What have I missed?
