King Donald's tariffs and trade wars, his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, his efforts to restrict immigration and end the DACA program, his efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, his disdain of the Black Lives Matter movement, his support of Confederate monuments, his attempts to deny LGBTQ protections, his constant attacks on Joe Biden and the news media and his constant spewing of lies and conspiracy theories are costing him a lot of support – except among Republicans, who tend to worship him almost as much as he worships himself. One hundred twenty-nine days till election day.

In September and October, the Trump campaign will spend $69 million on television ads in Arizona, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won each of those states in 2016 but the latest polls show Joe Biden holding sizable leads in Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and small leads in Ohio and North Carolina. Trump must be getting worried about his reelection chances if he's willing to spend so much of his precious money.

On Monday, Trump defended naming military bases and federal buildings after Confederate generals. On Tuesday, he denounced the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulation which forbids racial discrimination in housing. Today, he denounced the words "Black lives matter" as a "symbol of hate." Trump is getting increasingly out of touch with American voters – and many members of the Donald Trump party (formerly known as the Republican party) are turning against him.
Hundreds of George W. Bush administration officials to back Biden
Reuters, Jul 1 2020 2:11 AM
Hundreds of officials who worked for former Republican President George W. Bush are set to endorse Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden, people involved in the effort said, the latest Republican-led group coming out to oppose the re-election of Donald Trump. The officials, who include Cabinet secretaries and other senior people in the Bush administration, have formed a political action committee, 43 Alumni for Biden, to support the former Vice President in his November 3 race. Bush was the country’s 43rd president. The Super PAC will launch today with a website and Facebook page. It plans to release "testimonial videos" of high-profile Republicans praising Biden and will hold get-out-the-vote efforts in the most competitive states.
The group is the latest of a number of Republican organizations opposing Trump's re-election, yet another sign that he has alienated some in his own party, most recently with his response to the coronavirus pandemic and nationwide protests over racial injustice and police brutality against black Americans.

King Donald is a divider, not a uniter. He praises dictators, white nationalists and Confederate generals and he attacks Democrats, liberals, immigrants and Black Lives Matter protesters. In trying to appeal to the white male voters who make up the majority of his base, King Donald continues to stoke fear, hatred and mistrust and continues to deepen America's racial divisions and cultural divisions. Joe Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates lamented, "Our whole country is suffering through the excruciating costs of having a negligent, divisive president who doesn't give a damn about anything but his own gain – not the sick, not the jobless, not our Constitution and not our troops in harm's way."

Opinion: Trump thinks he'll win because voting for Biden is boring. But voting against Trump is exciting.
Sure, excitement for Biden himself isn't very high. But voters' dislike of the President is – and that spells real trouble for him.

"Fox News gladly puts up the phony suppression polls as soon as they come out. We are leading in the REAL polls," declared King Donald on Twitter. Of course he didn't explain how the polls are "phony," nor did he cite any of those "REAL polls" – because they exist only in his delusional mind. He also falsely claimed he has a "96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party." One hundred twenty days till election day.

Analysis: To save his Presidency, Donald Trump may tear America apart
CNN, Jul 8 2020 12:32 PM
To save his Presidency, Donald Trump may tear America apart. Trump is not even pretending to hide the divisive racial rhetoric on which he's anchoring his bid for a second term. He's running to keep the Confederate flag – seen by many Americans as a symbol of slavery – flying. He's guarding statues that honor generals who took up arms against the United States. He has attacked a black NASCAR driver and even slammed the Washington Redskins football team for finally looking for a less offensive name.
Without a strong economy to carry him through reelection, Trump is picking the most polarizing fight possible: He hopes enough Americans will agree that their White culture is drowning under a multi-ethnic tide for him to run an election campaign on racial grievance. Over the weekend, he turned one of the few nonpolitical moments in American life – Independence Day festivities – into a pageant of paranoia, claiming Marxists, radicals and anarchists are roaming the country and far-left fascism is taking over newsrooms and America's education system. The President is running the most openly demagogic campaign in America's modern history – and it will leave wounds that will take years to heal by whoever wakes up in the White House next January 21.

Biden's economic plan, which draws heavily upon Elizabeth Warren's proposals, includes $400 billion of federal spending on American-made products and a $300 billion investment in electric vehicles and clean energy.

Now hurry up and pick a running mate, Joe!
