President Trump unleashed a torrent of rage tweets about Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic convention that was spectacularly cringeworthy even by his standards — but it only underscored how effectively the former first lady made the case against him, in ways that are significant but not immediately apparent.
Her case, boiled down, is that Trump inherited a country that, for all its deep problems and lingering inequalities, was on the mend following another previous crisis. Trump proceeded to utterly wreck the place through his incompetence, malevolence, corruption and depraved conviction that stoking as much civil conflict and racial incitement as possible helps him.
Trump’s substitute tale, reflected in a series of tweets, runs as follows: Trump won the White House only as a reaction to Barack Obama’s failures — to “the job done by your husband,” as he sneered. Trump then built the “greatest economy” in the known universe, then voluntarily turned off that economy in a benevolent and responsible effort to save “millions of lives.”
Trump’s story is pure disinformation
Here’s the reality: Trump largely inherited the economic trends he enjoyed for three years. Trump was compelled into acting on the novel coronavirus only when his efforts to lie the crisis out of existence grew impossible to sustain. His dithering helped cost tens of thousands of lives, while the handling of H1N1 was relatively smooth and effective.
Trump is by far the most corrupt, self-dealing president of the modern era. And the Russia probe uncovered important truths about a foreign attack on our democracy that actually happened, to his benefit, an accounting he corruptly tried to derail.
She rightly noted that Trump mocks Black Lives Matter even as people of color keep dying and cited his moral equivocating about white supremacists and the violent removal of protesters for Trump’s Bible photo op. She charged that Trump brings only “chaos, division, and a total and utter lack of empathy.”
Trump has no response
The truth of all of this is everywhere, all around us, confirmed daily. Trump can substitute only pure invention. Indeed, his campaign ads proceed as if the coronavirus and economic crises simply do not exist.
But this shows weakness. The fundamental premises of his alternate history are rejected by large majorities, who disapprove of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, say it is not under control, believe Trump acted too slowly on it, view the recovery negatively and prioritize containing the virus over herding people back to work, which Trump wants to do.
Right now, folks who know they cannot win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting. They’re closing down polling places in minority neighborhoods. They’re purging voter rolls. They’re sending people out to intimidate voters, and they’re lying about the security of our ballots.
And this means:
After the speech, Trump retweeted a bunch of nonsense purporting to debunk claims that he’s trying to sabotage mail balloting. But Trump himself confirmed the truth of her allegation when he said on Monday: “The only way we lose the election is if the election is rigged.”

our immature president is what he claimed to grab.
You are all claiming to be the party which will Unify the country.
And the title of this thread is “Michelle Obama Drew Blood.”
This is why we don’t trust liberals not to cheat.
We didn't include you when we talked about unifying.
i wonder whose job it is to go to those houses with Confederate flags (where they don't let blacks on their property) to get them to join us all?
talk about a **** job.

What does the phrase “Michelle Obama Drew Blood” have to do with me?
You are fantasizing about Trump being wounded.
You are NOT the party of peace, unity, and hope. You are the party of disunity and violence.
Just in case you didn't hear it on your popular left leaning news sources Michelle blamed Trump putting children in cages...only forgot to mention her husband had the cages built and used them himself. We recall the pictures the news used blaming Trump for caging children but neglecting to mention the pictures were from the Obama era...
I am quite content to exclude them.
You don't invite your enemies into your home.
and they're not just enemies of democrats. they're enemies of all people who believe in unity and equality and decency.
Why do the people who “believe in unity and equality and decency” create threads boasting that Michelle Obama “Drew Blood”?and they're not just enemies of democrats. they're enemies of all people who believe in unity and equality and decency.

Lol not really.Too bad, right?
Lol not really.
It highlights for readers the fact that many on the left glorify aggressive and violent behavior.
And are willing to do anything in order to achieve their goals.
You can keep lying about the two very different situations if you want to.
You're welcome to explain and defend the situations...please do.
