Nominating Trump, Republicans Rewrite His Record

President Trump and his party engaged in sweeping revisionism about his management of the coronavirus, his record on race relations and much else.

And they painted a dystopian picture of what the nation would look like if Joseph R. Biden Jr. were president.

8/25/20
President Trump and his political allies mounted a fierce and misleading defense of his political record on the first night of the Republican convention on Monday, while unleashing a barrage of attacks on Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the Democratic Party that were unrelenting in their bleakness. Hours after Republican delegates formally nominated Mr. Trump for a second term, the president and his party made plain that they intended to engage in sweeping revisionism about Mr. Trump’s management of the coronavirus pandemic, his record on race relations and much else. At times, the speakers and prerecorded videos appeared to be describing an alternate reality: one in which the nation was not nearing 180,000 deaths from the coronavirus; in which Mr. Trump had not consistently ignored serious warnings about the disease; in which the president had not spent much of his term appealing openly to xenophobia and racial animus; and in which someone other than Mr. Trump had presided over an economy that began crumbling in the spring. Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, praised his father’s management of the pandemic, one of several segments asserting an unsupported narrative that the president had been a sturdy leader in a crisis even as polls show Americans believe he has handled the pandemic poorly.

A defense of Mr. Trump’s management of the coronavirus pandemic took the form of a video that criticized the news media, Democrats and the World Health Organization, and presented a greatly distorted version of Mr. Trump’s record, casting him as a decisive leader against Democrats who had minimized the threat of the disease. On Monday in Charlotte, where only party business was being conducted, Mr. Trump used his speech to focus on the strength of the stock market and to hurl all manner of attacks at Democrats. He repeated his unfounded allegations that Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden had spied on his campaign in 2016. “We caught them doing really bad things,” he said. “Let’s see what happens. They’re trying it again.” The president also continued his months long assault on voting by mail and repeated unfounded accusations that it was part of a plot by Democrats to hand the election to Mr. Biden. Mr. Trump is planning on speaking each day during the four-day convention, and party officials scrambled over the weekend to fill in the schedule. It seemed inevitable, though, that the president would overwhelm his own convention, given his television-honed obsession with stagecraft and his total control of the Republican Party.

The best they can do is engage in historical revisionism. Under Trump we have pandemic numbers far higher than any other nation on earth. Massive unemployment. Businesses going bankrupt. Americans being evicted and foreclosed. Racial strife.

Is your life better today than it was 4 years ago? Does your future look rosy? We have a president in Trump that is purposefully trying to ruin the US Post Office. And he sucks up to Putin and other brutal dictators.

Do you want this madness to continue for another four year nightmare as Trump golfs while the nation falls apart even further? No? Then vote for Joe Biden/Kamala Harris.

The sad fact is, to a lot of folks, they feel like "as long as me and mine isn't affected, I will enjoy watching the suffering". I agree Joe is the better choice, but even if he wins, it doesn't fill me with "hope for America". Seeing thise last four play out, has crushed most of my hope for good. Four more and I think you can just kiss elections goodbye. Whoever the Trump party runs wins with 80%+ of the vote forever after, of course such a natuion wil NOT be long lived....
