On Saturday, Donald
Trump kicked off his first in a week of rallies in five MAGA-friendly places
around the country in order to garner support ahead of the midterm elections in
November, even as his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, has found himself
plagued with sexual assault claims from when he was in high school and college.
Trump, who previously
said that Kavanaugh’s first accuser, Dr. Christine Ford, seemed credible, told the
Wheeling, West Virginia crowd that they can help reject the “ruthless and
outrageous tactics” that, he said, Democrats used against his nominee.
Trump won the state in
2016 by 42 percentage points so he was talking solely to his base when he then
went on to praise his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Kim Jong Un.
Trump said the two
leaders “fell in love” adding that “He wrote me beautiful letters.”
“And they’re great
letters,” he said just hours after Pyongyang’s top diplomat said there was “ no
way” that North Korea would disarm under the current conditions.
Trump then told his supporters that Democrats want “open borders,” even though there is a total of zero Democrats who have called for open borders.
Trump also cited a
poll that favored Kavanaugh, but that survey was cherry-picked, coming from a
site called “Confirmkavanaugh.com.”
He then said that
“We’ve built a lot of wall already. We’ve fixed a lot of wall,” but that, too,
is inaccurate, unless replacing fencing is now considered building a wall along
the Southern border.
Congress allocated
$1.6 billion for the replacement of old fencing, but not for the construction
of any type of concrete wall prototype that Trump has requested.
And because his rally
wasn’t bizarre enough, Trump said, “When you see ‘Democratic Party,’ it’s
wrong. There’s no name, ‘Democratic Party.’”
Uhh…yes, there is.
He also made the
jaw-dropping claim that he, and his Republican colleagues, are fighting to
protect patients with pre-existing conditions, even after Republican state
attorneys general filed a lawsuit that would put those with pre-existing
conditions in jeopardy.
Trump has an affinity
for dictators, and ruthless leaders, such as Russian president Vladimir Putin
and Kim. And his cult-like following loves it.

failed takeover of the South. She's also one of the biggest arseholes on
Twitter. At night, she can be found drinking Conservative tears while pulling
off the wings of flies just because she can. She is the founder of a Marxist,
Commie, Maoist, Socialist site and has contributed to several other sites, blah
blah blah. She is an awful person but she doesn't like to brag about that.
