Trump’s Presidency Hangs on One Decision, by Pat Buchanan – The Unz Review

Published on by reinkefjLeave a comment

The crucial decision Trump will make is to choose the exact moment to reopen the country and the economy, without igniting a new spike in the pandemic that induces despair and causes a panic.

The president’s aides in charge of the medical crisis want the longest delay possible. His economic and political advisers, fearing Trump could be forced to run as Herbert Hoover did, at the nadir of a new depression, want an earlier decision to start opening up the country.

Action cannot long be delayed if we are to survive the medical crisis only to endure a longer and more costly economic crisis.

I’d roll the dice and say that DJT45 has NOT handled this crisis well.  (Primarily thanks to the media and the entrenched politicians and bureaucrats!)  So he has to restart asap and just hope the economy comes back like gangbusters.

You Don’t Have to Take Trump’s Word to See Mail-In Vote Fraud

Here, the President enjoys broad agreement. Elections officials from all political stripes acknowledge that mail-in ballots are far more vulnerable to fraud. Stories of political operatives who routinely scam senior citizens out of their absentee ballots are so widespread that the term “granny farming” was coined.  Even the New York Times, when reporting on suspicions of election fraud in North Carolina last year, noted that “absentee ballots are especially susceptible to manipulation.”

Great!  Now we have a word for a type of election fraud.
