It's always interesting when the "forgotten" lies that have been told spiral out of control and come back to bite their instigator. Trump doesn't understand the interconnexion between the different issues that he's using and abusing to enhance his electoral chances: he has no conception of the significance of the "Butterfly theory" in the chaos that he so actively promotes. The case of the "purported China trade deal" is a clear illustration.

However, the Naked Emporer, when laughed at because he has no clothes, will look to take revenge on the "whistle blower". Beware the major universities and 17 states that have brought suites against Trump's foreign student visa barriers as they have won their battle and Trump has been forced to rescind his directive. They are an easy, "elite", communications and propaganda target to hit and further stoke the passions of his core electorate.

Trump has had to cancel the New Hampshire Rally and hisTulsa spectacular was a disaster because of his mis-handling of the Covid-19 epidemic. He had to give up his daily press briefings on dealing with the sanitary crisis as they where hitting the headlines but not producing favorable voter support. Trump is like a fish out of water and is struggling to find oxygen as his "gills" are not adapted to the atmosphere. The Rose Garden is a short-term stop-gap as it assures him some semblance of a "Presidential Posture". It wont work for more than a few "shows". He's running out of "reality" to put on television. The sooner this fish is put in an aquarium to be gauped at by passing tourists passing the better we'll all be.

There’s something fishy about his cancellation of the New Hampshire rally. They claimed it was because of expected bad weather but the forecast didn’t indicate bad weather and it was a beautiful, sunny day in all of New England that day.

Rick Wilson said it was because the campaign and Trump couldn’t risk a smaller turnout than in Tulsa.

I wonder if he was planning on a visit to Maxwell.
