Donald Trump abruptly cancels campaign event

Trump has finally scheduled an event in Pennsylvania, aimed at winning over Polish voters in Bucks County. But now, for unstated reasons, the Trump campaign is cancelling the event at the last minute. So what’s going on?

It could be a number of things. There is, for instance, an exploding scandal today that’s on the verge of taking down North Carolina Republican Governor candidate Mark Robinson. But what would that have to do with a Trump event in Pennsylvania? It’s possible Trump is going into hiding completely as the Robinson scandal plays out. But it could easy be something else.

Is this the start of a trend???

[JohnSJ]

1. Weird

[ultralite001]

4. Definitely weird...

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

57. Odd... Very odd...

[Renew Deal]

2. Something is off with the entire scenario

Supposedly the Trumpists are pushing the story, but what if it's to distract from something bigger?

[ultralite001]

7. So many possibilities... Could be BIGLY... Could be YUGE!!!

[3Hotdogs]

50. Fuck. I hope it's not a heart attack or sump'n. Tell ya what, Jesus.

Give him a stroke or heart attack, where he doesn't die but puts him out of commission for a long time --- and I promise this time. I won't make no more fun of you.

[brewens]

79. I can't go that far but I would stop calling Trump's Christian followers Jesus MAGAts. :) n/t

[epreic01]

81. Ummmm

He’d have to have a heart and a brain…

[ReRe]

77. It could be that

... it's to distract the public from the Mark Robinson scandal down in NC.

OR it could be because the Poles don't want him there.

Perhaps it was going to turn out to be bleachers of people in protest of tRump!

[hauckeye]

3. He probably has to golf instead 😂😂

[ultralite001]

8. It's like he's addicted or something...

[Westcoast4life]

5. The P Diddy "Freak Off" sex parties videos that Trumps rumored to have attended might be another reason.

[ultralite001]

10. If someone has recordings... Oh, my...

[BlueKota]

29. 🤞🙇‍♀️

That would be something

[mdbl]

55. Magats and evangelicals don't care and will still vote for him

They are that dumb.

[Elessar Zappa]

68. He can't win with just maga and evangelicals.

[lamp_shade]

6. Reuters....

[ultralite001]

12. Thx...

[riversedge]

19. Drats--it is a pay to play site.

[ultralite001]

22. I used a private browser window...

+ cut + pasted the link...

[LeftInTX]

44. It's a meeting with the president of Poland at a Catholic shrine.

It's not a rally.
I read that the church cancelled it because it was a political event.

[ShazzieB]

72. That makes sense.

They probably figured out that Trump just wants to use Duda to try to prove to Polish American voters that he actually gives a crap about whether Putin invades Poland next.

Which he doesn't, of course, but he's figured out that his bromance with Putin is a liability with some voters, and thought this would help. I am GLAD he's not going to get that chance!

[Bev54]

61. Just copy and paste the link on this site and it will get past most pay walls

https://www.archivebuttons.com/

[groundloop]

33. The article didn't say who cancelled..... my bet is Polish President Duda cancelled on tRump

[LeftInTX]

58. It was to be held at a church site. The church cancelled due to campaign laws.

[Freddie]

9. At Our Lady of Chestochowa, a Polish church and shrine

Gee, what did he do to offend the good Polish folks? 😂

[ultralite001]

13. Perhaps...

something rubbed RTump's pole the wrong way...

[rubbersole]

42. Something loomering.

[FalloutShelter]

15. That's about a mile from my house.

Doylestown, PA is heavily Trumplandia.

It's that perfect REthug mix of small minded small town, and money. a very wealthy part of Bucks County.
Wonder what happened.

[Freddie]

18. Very familiar with the area

Old money and small minds, 95% white.
Ever been to their annual festival? Where I learned to like kielbasa (I’m not Polish). Fun event with great food.

[ultralite001]

23. The kielbasa...

Oh, my...

[FalloutShelter]

36. Many times.

Years ago they used to host 4th of July fireworks at the Shrine. Good memories.

Glad the Beast won't be in my hood today.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Poles, conservative religious or not, are no fools, they know what fascists did to Poland

at several points in history.

[ultralite001]

14. As many relatives in my family

will attest...

[Dave Bowman]

16. Maybe someone told him that Poland doesn't have a friendly relationship, to say the least, with mother Russia?

[NCDem47]

32. MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

Backchannel communication from Russia or US sympathisers:

"Don't cozy up to the Poles. We need Poland as a boogyman."

[notemason]

17. Maybe it was a ruse all along.

How he planned to win Polish votes is a mystery; they are aware of putin's plan.

[The Wizard]

20. the Palmer Report has

a sketchy reputation.

[demmiblue]

26. +1 (haven't seen it here in quite some time). n/t

[onenote]

62. That's being kind. They're crap.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. TFG is very lazy and so may want more time off

[ultralite001]

30. RTump's been washed + folded...

Too many times...

[BlueKota]

24. Maybe my prayers were answered

[ultralite001]

35. Your prayers...

+ those of a whole host of others...

[Coexist]

25. Duda is no lefty; totally a TFG- guy. I wonder, tho, did TFG cancel it, or did Duda?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/poland-andrzej-duda-bitterly-divided-polish-nation-narrowly-reelects-conservative-president/

For the fourth time in a row, including local elections in 2018 and European and parliamentary elections in 2019, Poland's staunchly right-wing, Catholic, anti-LGBTQ camp coalesced around the Law and Justice Party (PiS) to defeat opposition left-wing liberal forces.

[ultralite001]

37. So much more to this story...

than we're gonna get via MSM...

[hlthe2b]

39. Duda supports Ukraine, however. He's no Putinista.

How to turn Trump against Russia? Ask Poland’s President Duda.
The country’s government turns to old foes for help in grooming the U.S. presidential candidate.
https://www.politico.eu/article/polands-president-duda-plays-whisperer-to-turn-donald-trump-against-russia/

The Polish government believes it has a secret weapon to shift Donald Trump against Russian leader Vladimir Putin — the country's out-of-power populists.

When the U.S. Congress unblocked a $60.8 billion aid package to Ukraine in late April, lawmakers from Poland's now-opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party were quick to proclaim that it was thanks to the influence of one of their own, President Andrzej Duda, who just days earlier met with Trump in his gold-studded eponymous tower in New York for a two-and-half-hour chat to discuss Ukraine’s military needs, as well as meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson. "A big round of applause for President Andrzej Duda, who has gained powerful resources to fight Russian imperialism," Dariusz Matecki, a PiS lawmaker, wrote on X. “President Andrzej Duda can have a full sense of a job well done for Poland and the entire region,” added Marcin Przydacz, another PiS MP.

And in politically divided Poland — where the government led by PM Donald Tusk and PiS war over everything from the EU to abortion, public television, rule of law, a project to build a new airport and even electric cars — there is rare agreement on the need to butter up Trump.

"I trust that during the New York meeting the president took the Polish government's recommendation and presented the Polish point of view on security issues," tweeted Tusk, an old foe of Duda's. "In these matters we need maximum agreement and minimum controversy."

The reason is that both sides are united on the risk posed by Russia, and on the danger of the U.S. pulling out of NATO and abandoning Europe under a second Trump presidency.

[LeftInTX]

59. Church cancelled due to campaign laws.

[hlthe2b]

70. Okay. Not a fan of his, just stating facts. He is RW and problematic, but at least he doesn't support Putin.

What does your comment mean? He's anti-religion? Maybe. I don't know.

His support for Ukraine will make it difficult with Trump, however.

[LeftInTX]

75. It was supposed to be a church event, not a political event.

The Catholic church probably asked Trump not to attend.

I'm pretty sure Poland's president will be there.

[hlthe2b]

78. Ahh.. I hadn't heard. Good.

[pat_k]

67. It was planned for Sunday, 9/22

My guess is that the Trump team announced his attendance at the dedication prematurely as a joint visit, when in fact they were just trying to to insert DT and Duda wasn't on board. One report announcing DT's intent to appear noted that it was unknown whether the two would meet. Not exactly a "joint" appearance.

My guess is that as they tried horn in on the event it became clear there would be no "joint" about it and DT said nyet.

https://nj1015.com/ixp/1186/p/trump-cancels-pa-visit-events/

On edit added excerpt

Trump’s campaign earlier had told The Associated Press that Trump and Duda would attend the dedication. It was not clear if the two would have met.

[captain queeg]

27. Maybe a stroke? Or heart attack? Probably not but I can dream.

It would be so funny if he finally is incapacitated so close to the election. I think the rethugs would try to hide it if he had a heath crisis.

[pat_k]

28. Trump cancelled his visit, but President Duda still going?

I've only had time to skim, but the reporting seems ambiguous. Sounds to me like Trump cancelled his appearance but President Duda will still attend but what I've read isn't clear.

If that is the case, I would guess President Duda nixed DTs appearance.

[TygrBright]

31. Palmer Report isn't a real great source of information. n/t

[hlthe2b]

40. There is an AP link upstream... n/t

[progressoid]

56. Indeed. N/T

[Demobrat]

34. Maybe he's afraid the third time will be the charm

or something like that.

[ultralite001]

38. I hear you...

[Efilroft Sul]

41. Numb nuts it still having a rally at my kid's Pennsylvania university on Monday.

[LilElf70]

43. My guess is

he knows what the attendance will be. I'm betting it's a real low number.

OMG, the narcissist can't let this get out. no attention for Donny?

Trust me, he will get plenty of attention in late November, early December, in court. Lock him up, Lock him up, Lock him up.

[rubbersole]

45. Maybe a loaded diaper grounded the plane.

So he went to an 'art' show to appreciate the human form. Michaelangelo spins.

[iluvtennis]

46. Recall that during the debate, VP Harris called him out by saying that tens of thousands of Polish people in PA

would like to hear that he supports Ukraine in the Russian invasion of their country.

Harris suggested that Russia could target Poland if Ukraine loses the war. That resonates with Poles
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/harris-suggested-that-russia-could-target-poland-if-ukraine-loses-the-war-that-resonates-with-poles

[patphil]

47. He probably doesn't want to answer questions about Mark "Black Nazi" Robinson.

Especially since Trump endorsed him for Governor.
It's going to be an interesting day tomorrow; and all weekend.

[Joinfortmill]

48. Met his maker, Satan?

[ancianita]

49. He got second thoughts about showing up after Kamala's point about the Polish in PA not liking his bro-love with Putin.

Let's hope it's part of a trend!

[relayerbob]

51. He may think he's in North Carolline, or that Robinson is from Pennsylvania

Or his diaper supply ran out.

Who knows? He's desperate and on the run.

[Cheezoholic]

52. 2 attempts, very close calls, on TSF's life in 2 months. Duda doesn't want to get shot n/t

[Shermann]

53. Robinson may need a hand killing people who need killing. nt

[twodogsbarking]

54. Too soon for an Amber Alert? He could be roaming around confused, like usual.

[et tu]

63. that would be a silver alert

because he is elderly and that is the best thing i can say about him~ lol

[twodogsbarking]

66. Well tanks.

He does act like a child though.

[et tu]

71. simlpe celled organisms

have a hard time evolving- just saying~

[LeftInTX]

60. I read the church cancelled Trump's appearance due to campaign laws.

[twodogsbarking]

64. I hope he is ok.

[DownriverDem]

65. May trump

continue to unravel.

[PSPS]

69. This is an opinion piece from the loony Palmer Report.

[Warpy]

73. Too many people wanted paymnt up front?

Or maybe the second lunatic with a gun has him really spooked. Should have paid those indoor venues years ago, Donny, security is a little easier there.

We don't know if the Robinson scandal is really a scandal, looking at "adult sites" isn't a crime...yet. It would only be a scandal if those sites were dedicated to buff young men, live children, or dead anybody else, especially women. What would finish a pol running as a pillar of the SBC and paragon of all that is holy in NC ending a career wouldn't cause anything more than a smirk in more sensible parts of the country.

[Raven123]

74. I'm guessing some higher up in the Catholic hierarchy canceled this event

Or the shrine commission got an earful from its supporters. TFG was supposedly invited as a “pilgrim.” - at least per the article below.

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259367/donald-trump-and-polish-president-to-visit-catholic-shrine-in-pennsylvania

Wonder if anyone actually believed that.

[Figarosmom]

76. Maybe lack of interest?

Maybe not enough people signed up to be there. He's been to PA a lot and maybe he's exhausted hus fan base and there aren't enough that are willing to take off a day of work to see his tired old act.

[Fichefinder]

80. Was that a pager in his pocket...
