Trump Will Return to Campaign Trail With Rally in Tulsa

[RandySF]

WASHINGTON — President Trump will return to the campaign trail on June 19 with a rally in Tulsa, Okla., for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak forced most of the country into quarantine three months ago, a campaign official said Wednesday, as polls show former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. establishing a significant national lead over Mr. Trump and the president’s approval ratings plummeting.

Oklahoma, a deep-red state Mr. Trump won four years ago by 36 percentage points, began lifting restrictions on businesses on April 24 and moved into Phase 3 of its reopening on June 1, allowing summer camps to open and workplaces to return with full staffing levels.

Trump campaign officials are unlikely to put into place any social distancing measures for rally attendees, or require them to wear masks, people familiar with the decision-making process said, adding that it would be unnecessary because the state is so far along in its reopening.

Mr. Trump has also made it clear he doesn’t want to speak in front of gatherings that look empty because of social distancing, or to look out on a sea of covered faces as he tries to project a positive message about the country returning to normal life and the economy roaring back, even as his top health advisers have warned the pandemic is far from over. “Oh my goodness,” Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the federal government’s top infectious disease expert, said Tuesday. “Where is it going to end? We’re still at the beginning of it.”

[Mystery sage]

5. Agreed he needs them to not think.

[eShirl]

4. omfg

[bobbieinok]

6. Am I right they haven't said where they plan to hold the rally? Couldn't find the info

[bobbieinok]

7. He liked that TPD cop view that cops need to shoot 20%more blacks, amirite?

[First Speaker]

8. Jesus H Christ. Tulsa. In the middle of this crisis...

...could he be any more transparent? Remember St Ronnie going to Philadelphia, Mississippi, in 1980? This is much worse...

[eShirl]

9. on juneteenth, in tulsa

[Totally Tunsie]

10. You go for it, Oklahoma! Those MAGAts need to gather - NOW!

When Chump's numbers in November fall short of his expectations, he'll have no one to blame but himself after systematically killing off his own voters.

Chump needs to keep pushing the idea of no voting by mail also, so that none of his MAGAts exposed to COVID at his rallies will be able to VBM while they're quarantined after attending his ego-trip rallies. Yeah...that'll fix 'em!

11. Five months till the election and

Trump is campaigning in OKLAHOMA?!?

[spanone]

12. he wants no surprises

evidently

[gulliver]

15. Yeah, kinda shows what he's up to.

He doesn't need Oklahoman votes. He needs an audience of the stoogiest available stooges to act as unpaid extras in his televised self-worship services.

[spanone]

13. No Masks allowed?

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Whole thing reminds me of President William Henry Harrison, who died 32 days into his administration

He gave the longest inauguration speech of record (1 hour, 45 minutes) outside in the winter. He went to bed with a cold and it developed into pneumonia and he died.

Talk about walking into a known risk . . . . (both Harrison and Trump).

16. Alrighty, but they're spiking too.

OKLAHOMA CITY —
Coronavirus cases in Oklahoma have spiked the past two weeks after they started to drop at the end of May.

Graphs show that the spike is a swing that started in the beginning of June. They also show that the spike comes after the number of people currently in the hospital with COVID-19 was mostly flat before rising just slightly last week.

17. Is it his turn to contaminate a plant's entire daily production?

Trump says masks are for sissies.

[TXPaganBanker]

18. Can it be any more of a racist dogwhistle?

Holding his return rally at the site of the Tulsa Race Massacre, one of the worst instances of racial violence against blacks in American history (And first air bombing of a US city! And the US is the one that bombed it!), and on JUNETEENTH NO LESS?!?!

What the actual F*** is WRONG with this guy?

There is absolutely ZERO chance this is an accident. This is a message.

[RussBLib]

19. like a wolf leading his lambs to slaughter

A closed arena. No masks. No social distancing. And they will be cheering their lungs out, while spreading whatever vile substance lives down there.

Only braindead MAGAts would attend such a thing. What are the odds that within a couple of weeks, several of the attendees contract COVID-19?

HE'S TRYING TO KILL YOU, OKLAHOMANS! Don't fall for it!
