We have narrowed the Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech, to be delivered on the final night of the Convention (Thursday), to two locations - The Great Battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and the White House, Washington, D.C. We will announce the decision soon!

I wish this were The Onion, or Borowitz.

I like it for him

2. Is he trolling us again?

Will he be waving a confederate flag at Gettysburg?

[highplainsdem]

25. I wish. Expect GOP campaign ads about "Trump's Gettysburg Address."

Trump thinks he can convince people he's as great a president as Lincoln.

3. Trump is busy trying the find the Gettysburg address in Google Maps.

8. Okay, you win.

5. Devil's Den?

6. why not maralago with his golfing buds?

[hlthe2b]

7. I picture an angered Ghost of Lincoln decending on Gettysburg to spike his microphone

as the famous Gettysburg address plays over the speakers.

And all the dead--both Union and Confederate in unison rising to expose his (Trump's) utter hypocrisy/illegitimacy as President.

15. How disappointing for them.

Zombies are usually looking for brains.

[KPN]

11. He frigging thinks he's (a fat, old, fake-blond) Lebron James. Geezuz!

Gettysburg! Give me frigging break. He actually thinks he's going have his cake and eat it to. Playing up to white supremacists and nation's union at the same time. What a transparent dick-headed dipshit.

These next 84 days can't possibly go fast enough.

[captain queeg]

12. He ought to find a historically preserved plantation to showcase.

[dflprincess]

13. Probably in front of a Confederate memorial. nt

[whistler162]

36. Right here would be perfect

Pickett's charge monument

[earthside]

14. Seriously, Trump thinks ...

... that if he gives his speech in Gettysburg that means he will win Pennsylvania and the black vote.

Lots of magical thinking in that guy's rather empty head.

[dalton99a]

16. Too scared to stand in a boat in the Delaware?

[maxrandb]

18. Why not the Alamo

or the banks of the river Styx?

[Raven]

19. His base is going to hate this.

[maxrandb]

20. Aren't there some places in Vietnam?

[maxrandb]

22. Is Red Square in Moscow booked?

[global1]

21. How About 'Little Big Horn'....nt

[madaboutharry]

23. This made me laugh.

Trump is resorting to Cosplay. He now wants to pretend that he is Abraham Lincoln. Maybe he'll put the Mt. Rushmore tchotchke given to him by the governor of South Dakota, the one that adds his face.

The man is delusional. He should give the speech wearing a straight jacket.

24. Swalwell: "So it's a choice between illegal or sacrilegious, but corrupt either way? Seems right on

27. Perfect!

[roamer65]

26. Fuck Trump.

[Thekaspervote]

28. He's going to defile a sacred battleground?! FU you bastard

[malchickiwick]

29. Why not the site of the Bowling Green Massacre??

That seems much more apropos.

[SoCalNative]

30. Biden should wait until this exact moment

to announce his VP choice

[COLGATE4]

31. He has already dishonored the White House beyond measure

I'd hate to see him dishonor this hallowed ground too.

[pwb]

32. Where you deliver this talk at matters not?

I will not be viewing.

[Volaris]

33. His dementia must be getting worse...

Hes hone from thinking hes Nixon to thinking hes Lincoln.

[struggle4progress]

34. "And now, live! from the White House bunker!"

[Brother Mythos]

35. I can't see his base being any happier with Gettysburg, than if he chose Vicksburg, Mississippi.
