Trump Urges Supporters To Boycott Hillary Clinton's DNC Speech Tonight

The GOP nominee advised his supporters in a Thursday email blast not to tune in for Hillary Clinton's primetime Democratic National Convention speech.

“Unless you want to be lied to, belittled, and attacked for your beliefs, don’t watch Hillary’s DNC speech tonight,” the email read. "Instead, help Donald Trump hold her accountable."

Of course, the email ended with an appeal for donations.

Here's a screenshot of the email via CNN's Brian Stelter:

But equally as important, it's always better to keep Trumps constituency in the dark. Shedding light and reminding everyone of his rhetoric, lack of processes, history and business non-acumen is counter to his election. Trump doesn't like to be questioned and wants to limit information...people should be running scared from this wannabe fascist dictator.

The DNC has crushed the RNC in ratings all 3 nights and will crush it again tonight. His delicate ego cannot handle being beated.

If he was confident he'd tell them to watch her so they can hold her accountable, not the other way around. Of course they'll listen to him because they can't think for themselves.
