everything on him. Trump will say he knew nothing about what the clown was doing, and he now just loves our beautiful Postal Service.

The country can't wait that long Nancy. Get your people back in the next week or two and start pounding these crooks.

* He's made noises about eliminating social security and Medicare after the election, which, coupled with the blatant USPS corruption is now mobilizing seniors against him.
* The Coronavirus has kept people across the country housebound for the last several months.
* The resulting economic collapse has left more people unemployed than during the Great Depression.
* He's pissed off the evangelicals with the stunt at Lafayette Park and the Lutheran Church.
* His Gestapo run in DC and Portland were disasters.
* UAE and Israel have no interest in including him as part of the peace process.
* He's alienated the G7.
* His continued miscues with the military have turned that reliably Republican bastion against him.
* He's angered K-Pop fans, though they were probably a lost cause anyway.
* The medical establishment universally loathes him.
* The blatant rip-offs with the PPP have left many smaller companies within the Chamber of Commerce angry with him.
* Neither Sandernistas nor Greens are interested in voting against Biden, if it means four more years of Trump, especially since Trump has done everything in his power to destroy the mandate of the EPA.
* Robert Mercer, Charles Koch, and Sheldon Adelson are sitting this election out.
* Jerry Falwell, Jr was forced to resign from Liberty University due to sexual improprieties
* Kanye West is being divorced by the Kardashians.
* Trump was impeached, and the only reason he's not being impeached again is because it wouldn't do any good.
* He looks to be dragging down at least four Senators and several Representatives.
* Even his highly partisan judicial appointees are now ruling against him.

I'm honestly not sure what he can do at this point that would be a distraction? Prove that Kamala Harris is actually an immigrant, gay Seattle man in drag? Get the Ukranian president to come to the US to testify about Hunter Biden? Burn down the White House?!

I know one distraction that I think WILL work, though ....

He should RESIGN!!!

I think that might occupy a few news cycles.
