Trump Isn’t Building a Case Against Biden. He’s Running a Convention to Troll the Press
The Daily Beast ^ | Aug 25, 2020 | Lachlan Markay, Asawin Suebsaeng

On the second night of the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump resorted once again to the favorite trick in his bag: a televised surprise.

An impromptu naturalization ceremony put on as part of the Tuesday night festivities was, as a political matter, an attempt to show a softer side of a president with one of the most anti-immigration records in recent memory.

Senior Trump administration officials widely view the law as a joke, and have often traded quips over how consequence-free their infractions have been and how much Democrats harp on the violations, two ex-officials said. Some Trump lieutenants have privately bragged about their alleged violations as a proud rite of passage.

"Liberals are more upset about the use of government buildings than they ever were about the use of the FBI to target political opponents"

Trolling the press is almost always worthwhile. It’s amazing how many Republicans don’t get it. In fact, I don’t believe that they don’t get it; they are controlled opposition and happily so.

This has always been a contest between President Trump and the press. Biden and Harris are just pawns.

Is there any difference?
The Biden campaign and the fake news media are one and the same thing.

The press is the perfect foil for Trump. Trump exposes himself more to the press than any politician or celebrity in history. The president does this because he plays with the morons in the stooge press the way a cat torments a captured mouse. The hilarious part is the press stooges STILL have no clue how Trump uses them to mop the White House floors.

What people don’t get is the Press is a proxy for all of the Institutions the Left has succeeded in taking over.

LOL, I love the 100% Galaxy Level Troll he did the other day when speaking to the White House Press Corps...

"Thank you very much. And it’s good to see you all. Hope you had a great weekend at your convention..."

The first President to have a First Lady who is a naturalized US citizen is "anti-immigrant"?

John Quincy Adams' wife was born in England but was a US citizen by birth--her father was an American citizen.

No, Trump is appealing directly to decent, moral, hard-working Americans across our nation with TRUTH they cannot get from the MSM.

"a Case Against Biden"?!?

Dementiajoe is a drooling, leftist pervert, which is blatantly obvious from countless videos of him trying to speak without a teleprompter for more than a minute, or when he is within arm's reach of a little girl.

Case closed.

Personally, I thought the Naturalization ceremony was the BEST segment of last night’s convention.

It was particularly forceful when Chad Wolf read the Oath and each immigrant repeated the Oath.

Such a contrast between Trump and the No Borders Democrats.

"An impromptu naturalization ceremony"

Great. More pandering. Any mention of Cannon Hinnant yet, by anyone at this convention?

"Senior Trump administration officials widely view the law as a joke, and have often traded quips over how consequence-free their infractions have been "

Their OPINIONS of the GOP stated as fact. It is the DEMOCRATS who have an entirely different set of laws they get to break without consequence.

Trump officials bragging about what laws they get away with breaking? Name names... I call Bull$hit.

What’s the difference? There is no “Biden” except what the press, the propaganda arm of the ‘Rat Party, says he is.
