His dreams

It’s all a bit of a clusterfuck apparently.

President Trump generated a good deal of drama over the past few months when he moved the convention to Jacksonville, Florida in attempt to get around pandemic restrictions in the original host city of Charlotte, North Carolina. But when COVID-19 cases shot up in Florida, events in Jacksonville were called off, and some party business was moved back to Charlotte.

“We’re leaving.”

“We’d like to come back.”

Now the convention has been pared down considerably and will be somewhat virtual – but it appears Trump hasn’t totally abandoned his dreams of a massive, mask-free crowd.

Which is a dream of a mound of corpses three or four weeks later.

CNN reports:

President Donald Trump, a television producer at heart, is hoping for a convention next week that looks vastly different from the all-digital event Democrats have staged over the past days – including an emphasis on live programming and at least some type of audience who can respond to the multiple appearances he is planning.

He’s a television producer at heart and also at mind – he cares about showing off and making a noise far more than he cares about all the boring policy and security crap they keep trying to tell him about.

Calling aides at all hours from Air Force One or the White House residence, Trump has conveyed last-minute ideas on venues or gimmicks and demanded progress reports on the speakers he wants during his nominating extravaganza, which he hopes will provide a boost to his poll numbers.

Ha! Yes, people just long to listen to Don then Melania then Princess Ivanka then Don 2 then Eric then Bergdorf I mean Tiffany then Jared then Princess Ivanka’s personal groomer.

I think I have a drain to clean out that evening.
