Trump: Let's Put The Whole Thing Off!

Trump rolls back housing rules and wants the U.S. elections delayed. He still attending events without facial protection.
WEAR THE DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

With the COVID-19 pandemic already costing over 200,000 American lives, we are reminded that this could have been averted by the federal government. If Donald J. Trump took the time to read his presidential daily briefings and listen to the advice of his medical advisors, we wouldn't be in this crisis.

Everyone is at risk of catching the coronavirus and dying. Me, LaReyna, my family, my son, my niece, my friends, co-workers and the entire population of the world could be at risk. We may see the extinction of the human race due to an organism.

Poor preparation is one of the major reasons why Trump failed at stopping the spread. He claims that he cut off travel to China and punished the World Health Organization for the COVID-19 spread.

The coronavirus had already spread across the country the moment the first confirmed case came to light. Trump at first called this a "hoax" and said the virus would "disappear."

Rolling into August and still dealing with this.

Trump reelection chances have declined significantly. At first I had stated that he had a 60% chance of winning reelection back in February. Now at present time, he still has a 48.9% chance of winning reelection.

Note, that is still favorable odds for Trump. His job approval was polling below 50% most of his term.

Trump has posted on social media that he wants the election to be postponed.





Trump doesn't have the legal authority to delay the U.S. Presidential Elections.

Congress has the power to delay the U.S. elections only in the case of a national emergency. The election will be held on November 3, 2020.

State governors and local politicians have the right to delay primaries.

Trump's allies in the House and Senate have affirmed that the elections will happen.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Majority Leader who is up for reelection told the junk food media that the elections have not been delayed in the past and did not need to be now.

"Never in the history of the country through war, depressions, and the Civil War have we ever not had a federally scheduled election on time. And we'll find a way to do that again this November 3," McConnell to a local junk food media outlet.

He is facing Democrat Amy McGrath in the general election and the polls shows him with a 3 point lead. His reelection chances are 55%, because the state leans Republican. That senate race is likely Republican.

McConnell and many Republicans are really concerned that Trump's antics could cost them the majority in the Senate and the White House.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who is up for reelection also agreed with McConnell. Graham is facing Democrat Jaime Harrison in the general election. Graham is leading with 2 points. His reelection chances are 51% because Harrison is gaining momentum. The election favors have it from likely Republican to leans Republican.

Democrats have accused Trump of distracting the public from the news that the economy is tanking.

The Senate has failed to pass legislation to keep the unemployment incentives going.  The House of Representatives have passed the extension of the CARES Act in early July. The Senate has continued to stall the passage because of the Republicans refusal to give Americans an additional $600 in funds.

Republicans believe its making Americans lazy and not willing to return back to work.

Democrats stated that any alterations to the CARES Act will greatly affect Americans.

Trump has banked on a strong economy. Voters have given him high marks on his economic policies but have dinged him on the handling of the coronavirus and race relations.

Trump issued an administrative rule change on housing on Wednesday. He issued an executive order on housing to appeal to suburban voters.




There was an Obama-era rule meant to combat segregation in American neighborhoods. Trump had went to Texas maskless to tell the country that low-income housing will no longer exist in the suburbs.
Trump and Republican lawmakers continue to not wear facial masks. Texas is the 4th leading state with coronavirus cases.
Trump's rollback on fair housing is stroking racial tensions. He characterized low-income housing as a detriment to the suburbs and claimed that the Democratic Party were out to uproot and destroy suburbia.

When Trump went to Midland, Texas, most of the people he spoke to were not wearing facial protection or practicing social distancing. Since oil and natural gas prices declined, Midland has an unemployment rate at 12.4%.  Neighboring Odessa, Texas has a higher rate of 14%.




The division between urban and suburban America is closely tied to the country’s history of racial segregation. Even long after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, numerous studies and reports have revealed a long line of policies that have kept Black people out of white suburbs, as well as other forms of housing discrimination.

The connection between Trump’s aspersion on low-income housing in suburbs and racial segregation was not lost on his critics.

We are reminded that the election is less than 100 days away. Joe Biden will select his running mate and that woman will be attacked from the far-right and the leftists. Democrats have a real fight on them.

Trump has already admitted that he will use foreign assistance to help him win reelection.

He continue to sow discourse and dysfunction all the way up to the election.
