Trump blames Democrats for his grounded campaign, even as bipartisan restrictions ban his rallies

President Trump, approaching his longest stretch without a political rally since he announced his candidacy five years ago, has taken to blaming Democrats for grounding his campaign.

But even as several states begin relaxing their coronavirus restrictions, Trump has not scheduled any rallies in Republican-led states — and his campaign has not reached out to governors in swing states to inquire about holding large political events.

The claim of politically motivated closures was outlined most directly by Trump’s son, Eric, who accused Democrats of trying to strip the president of his greatest reelection weapon.

“They’re trying to deprive him of his greatest asset, which is the fact that the American people love him — the fact that he is relatable, the fact that he can go out there and can draw massive crowds,” Eric Trump told Fox News’s Jeanine Pirro on Saturday, echoing the president’s charge. “Joe Biden can’t get 10 people in a room. My father is getting 50,000 in a room. And they want to do everything they can to stop it.”

are already transmitting the disease through their communities. I am all for them gathering in large groups and yelling at the top of their voices. I would recommend that governors give them an exemption for political rallies.

The real issue at play is Trump claiming, once again, to be a victim. Waaaaa, waaaa.

In as many states as possible. Just to see if they'll do it. Just let them go full suicide cult.

Blame your enemy and hope it brings you praise from your enemy.

Notice how the Orange Anus has been Amping up his attacks in the last month. The number of Deaths is starting to rub him raw and he has to keep deflecting 24/7 in order for him to keep his name in print .

This POS is about to explode live on camera soon.
