Trump isn’t doing regular intelligence briefings anymore
Posted by Annie May / August 13, 2020
It’s amazing that people want to reelect Donald Trump to the highest office in the land, the office that is meant to be the Commander in Chief of the armed forces and the key defender of the United States and its interests when Trump has no interest in doing any of those things, as is evidenced by his total disinterest in receiving the daily intelligence briefing. He has even gone months without getting one.
Trump is probably more focused on winning the election, which he aims to do however he can, even if it means aiding an American enemy. Russia is targeting Joe Biden and trying to help Trump win the election, and Trump’s response? “I don’t care.”
Another one of their latest strategies is to make voting harder, a time-honored American tradition. Louis DeJoy (an oddly apt name) has just sacked key Post Office officials and is threatening to cut spending dramatically, which would prove disastrous for the 2020 election.
This isn’t the only non-traditional move made by the Trump campaign. Kayne West’s allegedly Independent presidential run is be a strategy to siphon off black voters from the Democratic party and help Donald Trump. That may sound crazy at first, but consider the fact that key Republican operatives are pushing Kanye to run and helping manage his campaign. At least 6 such operatives have been identified so far.
Twitter has banned 7,000 accounts related to the QAnon conspiracy theory, all of whom have violated the site’s policy on harassment. Twitter will also limit the spread of QAnon-related misinformation, which is expected to impact another 150,000 users. Unfortunately, QAnon conspiracists believe that big companies like Twitter are already part of a conspiracy against freedom, so this is basically guaranteed to go poorly.
As Trump’s polling numbers get worse and as his campaign drags, he’s looking for ways to stay in office…and none of them are legal. In a recent tweet, he floated the idea of postponing the November election, which of course he cannot do. Such an obvious move may actually be a smokescreen for another way he can sabotage the election in his favor: interfering with mail-in ballots by effectively shutting down the Post Office.
