The Trump Superspreader Tour 2020 has come to Bemidji, Minnesota, tonight. Follow for a video thread.
i see white people
People don't seem to remember this because it never happened
"Are you having a good time with your refugees?" -- Trump immediately pivots to full blown racism
"This is a protest. It's a protest against stupidity" -- Trump just murdered irony
"You have Big Ten football. Congratulations" -- Trump takes credit for Big Ten football now planning to have a belated, shortened season. What he doesn't mention is that his mishandling of the coronavirus was why it had to be delayed in the first place.
"You wouldn't have Minneapolis. You better remember this when you go vote" -- Trump takes credit for Gov. Walz deploying the National Guard to Minneapolis
"It was the most beautiful thing ... it's called law and order" -- Trump gloats about @AliVelshi getting hit by a rubber bullet in Minneapolis. Sick stuff.
My heart is heavy learning of RBG's passing. But I am going to continue live-tweeting Trump's rally in Bemidji.
"She spent $2 million on bullshit, okay? And if a Republican did that, they'd be in jail" -- Trump insinuates that AOC should be in prison
"You saw the head of the FBI yesterday go, 'Russia, Russia'" -- Trump throws FBI Director Wray under the bus
"We'll prosecute 'em. Yeah. Why not?" -- Trump suggests congress members AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib should be prosecuted
"I do believe they're in the FBI" -- Trump suggests that the FBI is protecting Hillary Clinton by storing her deleted emails somewhere where he can't find them
Big "lock her up!" chants as Trump continues to rail against Hillary Clinton and how "angry" she makes him
"The good news is most of them are dying, if not all of them" -- the President of the United States on the American magazine industry
Trump, seemingly unaware of RBG's passing, muses about putting Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court
"Look at Omar. She came in here, did she marry her brother?" -- Trump pushes unfounded conspiracy theories about Rep. Ilhan Omar
Trump threatens to pull licenses from NBC and CNN, even though they don't have licenses
"[Lincoln] was getting beaten a lot by Robert E Lee. They want to rip down his statue all over the place ... he would have won except for Gettysburg ... these were incredible things" -- Trump praises the top general who fought on behalf on slavery
Trump, who regularly uses a teleprompter, mocks Joe Biden for using a teleprompter
"They charged and they beat the hell out of these guys" -- Trump praises law enforcement for brutalizing people who allegedly were trying to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson, who he describes as "a very good president"
"I could right now be having a very beautiful life of luxury, and here I am at a hangar in Minnesota" -- Trump
Trump, who's reveling in being off-prompter, does a weird stream of consciousness bashing Joe Biden for various things
"You can't see it ... when you fight, they cannot see us" -- Trump still seems confused about whether stealth planes are literally invisible
Trump tosses some red meat to his QAnon base by talking about human trafficking, as cries of "save our children!" are heard from the audience
Trump on what will happen if he loses the election: "On November 4th, the press will probably say -- let's say something stupid happened -- the press will say, 'I gotta admit, he did a damn good job!'"
if a guy at the bar was telling you stories like this (back when society existed) you'd quietly pay your tab and sneak out
Lol -- Trump urges MyPillow guy Mike Lindell to run for governor of Minnesota
Trump seems to think the Iron Range of Minnesota is enjoying a big mining renaissance under his leadership, but it's not. Times are as tough up there as they have been for the last 40 years. (My mom is from Nashwauk and my dad is from Chisholm.)
Lol -- Trump wonder why Dan Bongino hasn't won a Pulitzer Prize
"Shake their hand, everybody sign a slip that you're voting for them, please" -- is Trump trying to kill these congressmen by having them shake the hands of thousands of people?
Trump is still unaware of RBG's passing. Here he is moments ago talking about SCOTUS as people yell "Ginsburg is dead!" to try to clue him in
"We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students, and restore patriotic education to our schools. We will teach our children to love our country" -- maybe he could call it the Trump Youth?
"You have good genes, you know that, right? You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it, don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota." -- Trump
Trump seems completely unaware that he is now the incumbent, not an outsider running to change things in Washington
After more than two hours, Trump's speech in Bemidji, Minnesota, is finally over. He'll now head back to Air Force One and learn of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing.
