So, he doesn't mind scaring people on those issues, but when faced with a pandemic capable of killing hundreds of thousands, he didn't want to warn the public? He decided to keep holding rallies, and refusing to wear a mask, and claim that the virus will 'just disappear'?



A President should lead. Often, leadership means telling the public the hard truth. Mr. Trump is not a leader.

Name any actual Trump policy that can be shown to have been responsible for the state of the economy before the pandemic. His 2017 tax cut actually probably cost jobs according to studies. So what else do you have?

Last President to win Minnesota was Nixon before that the 1950's. Can't see Trump winning landslide 520 EC votes like Nixon did.

Interesting about Nixon if he had never covered up the Watergate scandal and said he had no involvement which he didn't he would have gone on to one of the most popular presidents in history.

You are correct. I was for Mr. Nixon in 1972 (I even went to see him appear here in Fort Worth). I was a year too young to vote, but also a year away from the draft, which Mr. Nixon promised (and did) stop.



Mr. Nixon was unfailingly loyal to his men, which resulted in his covering up the Watergate break in, and then covering up the covering up.



President Trump, of course, is not so encumbered by loyalty, save for himself.



Interesting article about the 5 top landslide victories since WWII. Oddly, Mr. Trump's win is not included:

I mention Mr. Trump concerning the landslide victory, since he keeps claiming he did win so:

The idea was not to ever involve Nixon they were prepared to take fall for it. I'm sure that is why they never told him what they were doing. Nixon wanted to help them get out of it he could have pardoned them like Trump does when his term was over

That was the general election polls that you linked, NOT the Minnesota polls.

No. I never even looked at what the president said about the Coronavirus back then. I never thought it was the presidents business anyway. I really do not care what Trump says about the virus. I live my life how I want to regardless of how dangerous the virus is.

You just listed six (6) PERFECT EXAMPLES of where (and how) President Trump DOES a tell the hard truth.

And THAT is why the mainstream media and career “professional” politicians can’t stand him (and why he spends so much time in libs heads rent free). By y’all’s own admission, because these topics ruffle feathers leaders should avoid them altogether. You can’t have it both ways.

His willingness to tell the American voter the AND the whole d*mn World the hard truth (incl the UN and the WHO) is also why, I am confident, he will be re-elected.

Faced with an antagonistic mainstream media and literal whack jobs like Pelosi, Schiff and Schumer ANY savvy leader would’ve played the same hand regarding the initial responses to the pandemic.

Trump is not going to win MI the not even in the margin of error. Trump lost it in 2016 and history of Democrat's winning the state. It's like me saying Biden will win Texas at Biden is in the margin of error in Texas.
