Just like in the old days, when I used to get the Newsmax ‘newsletters’ for oppo research, I now get all kinds – and I mean ALL kinds – of newsletters from various trumpian groups. I delete most of them, but sometimes the subject headline is just so whacked out that I have to take a look.
Here’s one from American Patriot Daily, with the headline, “George Soros is Linked to a Coronavirus Attack – this is why You’ll be Seeing Red.” Here’s part of this laughable article:
Donald Trump and the rest of his administration are doing everything in their power to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
But now the President is fighting the invisible enemy on a new front.Democrats are worried that polls showing the American people supporting the President’s response to the coronavirus will lead to Donald Trump’s re-election in November.
Top party officials also can read the polls that show the American people approve of the President’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
Polls not only show that the public approves of how Donald Trump is managing the crisis, but that his overall approval numbers are also rising to the highest levels of his presidency.
Priorities USA responded to that anger with an announced TV ad campaign falsely attacking President Trump for a supposedly sluggish federal government response to the coronavirus pandemic.
And George Soros is helping to bankroll this smear campaign by pumping three million dollars into Priorities USA’s coffers.
These folks don’t actually care about the attack of the coronavirus pandemic, they only care about how trump is perceived to be handling it. I have not yet seen a single poll indicating that the majority of citizens “approve of the President’s handling” Au contraire, right now the polls are showing that approximately two-thirds of “the American people” DISAPPROVE of trump’s spastic and contrarian responses to the pandemic. And as of this writing,worldometer shows that 112,639 Americans have died of COVID-19.
Next, another right-wing bogeyman: Antifa. From a recent NBC news article:
“A Twitter account claiming to belong to a national “antifa” organization and pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.”
“The antifa movement — a network of loosely organized radical groups who use direct action to fight the far-right and fascism — has been targeted by President Donald Trump as the force behind some of the violence and property destruction seen at some protests, though little evidence has been provided for such claims.”
The tweets in question have been removed by Twitter, but here’s a screen shot – IMHO, all you have to do is read them to know that they’re a clumsy attempt to target Antifa:
Note the misspelt hashtag #BlacklivesMaters. Yeah, these guys at Identity Evropa are real fucking pros.
And here’s a question from an interview I started to read on Raw Story. It’s a question that should be asked by EVERYONE in America:
Many people in the news media and among the American public are upset that Donald Trump is not acting “presidential” in response to the nationwide protests and the apparent murder of George Floyd. They keep expecting Trump to behave like a responsible leader who can help calm and heal a country in pain. He is incapable of doing such a thing. This is honestly pathetic: Why do so many public voices keep pleading with Trump to be something he is not?
