Taxpayers get to foot the bill for EIGHT more Trump campaign stops before Nov. 6

From Wednesday until Election Day, the president will make campaign stops in Florida, Missouri, West Virginia, Indiana, Montana, Ohio, Georgia and Tennessee, the officials said.

Trump, who was making campaign stops in North Carolina on Friday night and in Illinois on Saturday, is scrambling to head off a Democratic push to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives and possibly the Senate.

Officials said Trump wants to go to places where races are competitive and where he can make a difference.

“No one Republican, no surrogate, no person can better move the political needle than President Trump,” White House political director Bill Stepien told Reuters.

If teevee is going to show these hatefests, the least they could do is point the cameras at the "crowd" instead of the hate-monger.

It'd be nice if they'd adjust the audio a bit so Twitler sounds more like Alvin and the chipmunks.

Aw, nevermind. There's just no way to make these vile events entertaining.

This is what you get.

Although, admittedly, they haven't had a real businessman in charge... Ever. Only an actor and now a con man.

Ironically, FDR was one of the closest to being a businessman as president the US has had in modern times.

before he went into politics--he owned and managed a peanut farm, and was damn good at it.

He also was a fine president--wish we could somehow have him back.

But I think he might be the exception that proves the rule.

After his Dad died.

So, he's two up on most so called businessmen foisted off by the Republicans.

He actually served in the military.

He had started and almost completed a technical education.

So, yeah. He ended up as a businessman, but, his initial path was far different.

You're correct... He's certainly an exceptional man.
