Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I hate to defend Cheeto Charles Manson (I really fucking do), but why would he talk to his base about economic plans? Numbers hurt their brain. All they want to hear is the lie that if he wins they will be better off and the dems will be mad.
And there you go. That's more like it. That's why they showed up and all they really want to hear.
You are correct, he didn't want to talk about economic plans but his advisors are begging him to give them something to try and change the narrative because he is sinking bigly. The crowd there was maybe 2k tops but they (the professionals running his campaign) need sound bites and clips of him looking if not Presidential, at least coherent for the nightly news. But of course Trump can't stay on message so he keeps slipping further in the polls and will be blaming everyone around him and attacks those trying to help him get back to the White House.
You love to see it.
100%, but that's on his team for not knowing who and what he is. The dude has the IQ of a turnip seed but he is a salesman, a con artists, and a bit of standup comedian. He will only focus on "the room". He'll read the room and adjust accordingly. If he's dying on stage, he's going to switch to a bit he thinks might work. If the crowd responds, he'll lean harder in that direction. He can't help himself. If they want sound clips, maybe don't put him in front of a crowd that responds to "Kamabla is a hoe that laughs strange...am I right?".
A turnip seed knows at least how to grow.
