President Trump has a plan to continue holding rallies after Election Day, says report

Trump campaign surrogates have been told to keep their diaries clear after November 3, reported the outlet. It cited two campaign officials and a surrogate who said it was a real possibility that the president would continue to hold rallies in key states even as election officials tallied up ballots.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.

Trump's raucous rallies, where the president rails against enemies, boasts of his achievements and basks in the adulation of his core supporters, have long been the centerpiece of his campaigns.

Trump gives Bill Barr ultimatum as he demands roundup of political enemies | The Independent

During a live phone-in on Fox Business, Donald Trump complained again that not enough of his political enemies have been arrested – and said attorney general Bill Barr could find himself in “a sad situation” if he doesn’t start rounding them up.

Covid-19 Presidency

I find it bitterly ironic that 2020 will likely end with the death of President Trump from COVID-19, the virus he was so dismissive and mocking of up to minute when he was brought to the hospital and put on oxygen, fighting for his life.
