The Trump Superspreader Tour 2020 comes tonight to Fayetteville, North Carolina. Follow for a video thread.
Trump begins by saying nice things about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Trump's audience isn't thrilled about it but politely refrains from booing. But he immediately pivots to how he plans to quickly fill the seat, prompting huge applause & chants of "fill that seat" that he encourages.
"We are going to call them protests against stupidity," Trump says of his superspreader rallies, without any sense of irony
"You know what? On November 4th, [states with Democratic governors] are going to be opened up" -- Trump still thinks public health measures to slow spread of coronavirus are conspiracies against him
"Fill that seat!" is the hot new chant at the Trump rally. Trump says he'll announce RBG's replacement next week.
Trump starts to poll his audience about whether he should appoint a man or woman to replace RBG, but then gets distracted and moves on with his speech without ever following through
Holy shit. Trump says that as a condition of TikTok's sale, he tried to shake down Oracle to put $5 billion into a fund "so we can educate people as to the real history of our country -- the real history, not the fake."
"We're gonna have a victory on November 3rd the likes of which you've never seen. Now we're counting on the federal court system to make it so we can actually have an evening where we know who wins" -- Trump 😳
Trump goes on a chilling rant about how "we are building and we have built weapons the likes of which this world has never seen before."
"I actually like women much more than I like men, I have to say" -- Trump on his rationale for replacing RBG with a woman
Trump having his supporters vote by yelling as to whether they'd rather see a woman or man replace RBG on SCOTUS is like a deleted scene from Idiocracy
Here's 17 seconds of synapses randomly firing in Trump's brain
What happened in the fourth year?
"Barack Hussein Obama" -- drink!
"Donald Prump"
Trump says Churchill was brave because "he may have been drinking a little bit."
Trump says he would give himself "a D" for his coronavirus response for reasons he never explains. Weird.
"When you test, then you have -- does this make sense? -- then you have cases" -- Trump still seems to think that coronavirus testing causing illness, which is batshit
"You see what their approval rating has gone to? I think it's one of my greatest achievements" -- Trump says diminishing the credibility of the media is one of his top accomplishments
"Your love your president, and your president gets honored -- because I'm being not honored, you are being honored -- with the Nobel Peace Prize" -- Trump is now talking as though he has actually won a Nobel and not merely been nominated
"We actually used petroleum ... we don't like to have lots of open gaps, when the wind is not blowing" -- Trump on the energy sources he uses to watch television at the White House
"Nobel Preace Prize"
"They are a bunch of scoundrels. They hate it when I say it, but honestly, they are the enemy of the people." -- the president more or less incites violence against the media. nbd.
"They give [Biden] a big fat shot in the ass, and he comes out, and for two hours, he's better than ever before ... we are going to ask for a drug test. Both of us" -- Trump pushes ludicrous conspiracy theories about Biden's debate performances
Trump's racist and hateful attacks on Elizabeth Warren and Mike Bloomberg are a reminder that he's an awful, awful person
if pigs had wings they could fly
"Remember when I said, 'Russia, if you're listening'... & then everybody laughed. They actually play it all the time... & they cut it off before the end... it was a joke" -- this is a brazen lie. Nobody laughed when Trump called on Russia to hack Clinton during a news conference
"We are taking school funds away from these crazy schools that are teaching horrible things. Bad things, actually. We will teach our children the truth about America: That we are the most exceptional nation on the face of the Earth & we are getting better every single day"- Trump
"They the hit the CNN reporter in the knee, he went down. Ali Velshi" -- for the second straight day Trump praises law enforcement for hitting @AliVelshi (who actually works for MSNBC) with a rubber bullet while he was covering protests in Minneapolis
President Quid Pro Quo
"We had a great State of the Union, right? Dwigathere."
"I decided to keep the oil, we took the oil. We kept it" -- Trump brags out committing war crimes in Syria. nbd.
"There was no guarantee they would help us if we had a problem" -- Trump attacks NATO (the only time NATO's collective defense clause was invoked was following the September 11 attacks on the US)
"He broke his leg and his arm, and he was all screwed up. And that was actually a good thing because it delayed the signing of that horrible deal" -- Trump gloats over @JohnKerry hurting himself in a bicycle accident while he was secretary of state
"They oughta do some forest management, a little bit, maybe. It's ridiculous. The floors of the forest, it's got 20 years of leaves and trees that are dry as a bone." -- Trump on the West Coast wildfires
"The aircraft carriers that cost 10 times more than they should cost, and then they use, you know, the electric catapults. You've heard that, right? They don't want to use steam. Why? B/c it's too simple. B/c it works. B/c it's better ... Elevators that are operated by magnets."
Trump's Fayetteville crowd is totally silent as he tells rambling, unending stories about Boeing and generals that call him "sir." Completely bonkers.
"He's from North Carolina and he's cheap as hell" -- Trump on his chief of staff, Mark Meadows
Yikes. Trump really short-circuits when he tries to say "sanctity"
"An astronaut on Nars" -- Trump is really struggling to get through the last part of his speech in Fayetteville, NC
After more than 90 minutes, Trump's speech is Fayetteville ends with "YMCA" -- a son about gay hookups -- playing him off the stage
