Here's what he's retweeting right now

I was going to ask what you thought his mood was with all this breaking news. But here’s what he’s up to.

A couple of Kayleigh clips:

"President @realDonaldTrump stands against defunding our great police officers, caving to mob rule, and cancel culture which seeks to erase our history."

“Law and Order are the building blocks of the American Dream, but if anarchy prevails, this dream comes crumbling down!”

President @realDonaldTrump has taken ACTION to secure our streets!

——
These things from the GOP chairwoman:


Ronna McDaniel

@GOPChairwoman
Joe Biden oversaw an anemic recovery while he was Vice President, and he would be a disaster for the economy as President.
@realDonaldTrump built the greatest economy in our history and he is doing it again now!


We are witnessing the Great American Comeback!

Record-breaking rebound in home sales, coming on the heels of a record 2.5 MILLION jobs added in May.

The positive economic news under @realDonaldTrump continues! https://apnews.com/97a7722c2ece9f697fd8c227c0655851

Two goobernatorial candidates Trump endorsed in 2018 who lost.

Or more recently:

“Endorsed candidates suffered worse electoral outcomes than those not receiving an endorsement — even in Senate races where endorsements led to increases in turnout,” the researchers write. “Candidates who received a presidential endorsement were less likely to win than those who did not.”

Trump’s endorsements may “have done little to elicit engagement from voters on the Republican side, all the while creating a rallying effect around opposing candidates and increasing engagement among Democratic voters,” they conclude. “The story then from these findings is that presidential endorsements in 2018 indicated presidential backlash rather than presidential coattails.”


The evidence doesn't really back up Trump's bragging. Which is to say that if Trump's endorsement was worth anything, candidates would be clamoring for it.

4. He's been told that his messaging sucks,

his polls suck, and he sucks as commander-in-chief. Vote.Vets have called him a traitor, and that really sucks big time.

So he's trying to resurrect Nixon's "Law N Order" to rile up racial fears, and tell big lies about what a blessing he is to the economy, which if you have been paying attention, also sucks.

I guess it's just an incredibly sucky time for Donny Dimwit.

"Did you check it? What's the setting? We need to know!"

"Yes, it is almost at 100% bullshit and its glowing bright red and starting to smoke, is that okay?"

"Set it to warp speed or something. We need more propaganda from all shoot the shit tubes and deception condenser orifices, now! Call out the brigade of McEnany clones and McConnell bots if necessary. This is war! Make anything and everything up. Full Orwell mode. Make it blow! ENGAGE!"

Totally ignoring the fact that the good ship America just scraped the iceberg known as COVID 19 and the musicians are warming up “Nearer My God to Thee”.
According to them it is smooth sailing ahead.....
