Does Anyone Actually Listen to Trump?
If anyone out there believes that what Trump says or how he says it has any direct or indirect impact on how many people will vote for him on November 5th, then all I can say is that there are lots of people who have absolutely no idea why anyone would ever vote for that schmuck.
This is a guy who in his discussion with Elon Musk, which was played and replayed all over the place, referred on multiple occasions during their conversation to the ‘dangers’ of ‘nuclear warming.’ What the fuck is nuclear warming?
But it gets better because on Friday, Trump mentioned Hurricane Helene at a rally in Michigan and said that people living in states devastated by the storm had ‘nothing’ to worry about because he was ‘with them all the way.’
Trump was with them. That’s how you talk about wishing you could join some fans at a college football game, but it’s not the way someone should be talking about a storm which has already killed more than 90 people in six states.
Trump is also on record as agreeing with the proposals from the alt-right to eliminate or at least scale down the work of the National Weather Service which predicts hurricanes and other weather-related disasters because this agency promotes concerns about global warming which Trump claims is just a ‘hoax.’
