I think Trump is trying to incite civil unrest by heading to Pittsburgh on the eve of the election.

He wants to have video/pics of angry people reacting to his presence. This is all about trying to shift the optics from the RW rhetoric that motivated the MAGABomber and SynagogueShooter to commit these acts to a "mob" moment where he can frame the protestors as the problem. This is all about the election and his desperation to influence the undecideds.

Perhaps not. If he believes his own garbage then maybe he is afraid of the "globalists" Jersey Devil Oct 2018 #5

Lock the doors and don't show up at all. Trump abhors a vacuum.

Imagine if he showed up to the place he was told it was to take place, and NOBODY came ... then he found out it was held elsewhere and nobody told him ... man, that'd be classic.

Tough to pull off as good one might hope for, though, because SS would be there really early to scope it, and they'd get wise long before BLOTUS arrived on scene.

No one should protest.

And - he won't stop.

He's going to pull these stunts right up until election day.

We need to be disciplined and not react - not give his FASCIST Press the ammo.
