Is he going to repair his ego after all the bad news, these days, or is he going to raise money for his lawyer fees? He's so in-your-face that he wouldn't care if the GOP knew what he was using it for. If I were a Republican, I'd be pretty burned to find out that's why he was blowing his own horn...money, money, money...and couldn't care less about the country or any of their candidates.

BTW, he'll want a bigger parade next year.

to smaller auditoriums due to lack of interest. It will happen sooner or later. Oh, I know he will have “true believers” until the bitter end, but as soon as the trials start (Manafort’s and Cohen’s) and bit by bit it begins to dawn on these geniuses that they’ve been had, some will drift away. The MAGA hats will become a mark of shame. His act will sound shrill and nasty — just like he is.
He thinks he will be the big guy forever, but his fall from the top will be swift and painful. I probably should not be so gleeful thinking about that day, but he has caused so much angst and misery, I just can’t help myself.

At his most recent event, the cameras pulled back to show the empty seats. So he can lie until the cows come home but the truth is captured in the video. Like his inauguration photos, the video at this rally tells the truth...something he seems unable to speak. tRump is speaking directly to his base when he insists that up is down and Brown is blue. The rest of us know he is full of sh*t and wouldn’t know truth if it came riding in on a white horse. Judging from some of the latest poll numbers, even some of his base is starting to see through his act. It took long enough but maybe that will continue. Please, let it be so!

They moved from the convention center to a hall with capacity of 7,000, and even then there were empty seats from halfway back on the floor and lots of empty seats in the balconies.

TAMPA — Days before President Donald Trump is scheduled to land at Tampa International Airport, the prep work for a presidential visit has kicked into high gear.

Local GOP leaders are picking a delegation to greet Trump on the tarmac.

Workers are painting and pressure washing at Tampa Bay Technical High School, where Trump will visit first Tuesday afternoon for a roundtable talk on career and technical education.

A drive across town in rush hour traffic should be nice.

I guess the Fairgrounds is an appropriate place, known for livestock shows and the aroma of bullshit.
