So Much Winning: Trump Cancels Florida 2020 RNC Events

  • 11 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

NPR reports, since COVID-19 is not disappearing as President Donald Trump assured us it would, something had to be done about the fast-approaching Republican National Convention being held mostly in Jacksonville, Florida after Charlotte, North Carolina couldn’t guarantee the health and safety of attendees–formality though it may be with Trump in total, some might say totalitarian, control of the Republican Party:

The Jacksonville, Fla., component of the Republican National Convention has been cancelled, President Trump announced on Thursday, as cases of coronavirus continue to spike across the state.

“I looked at my team and I said the timing for this event is not right. It’s just not right with what’s been happening,” Trump said at the daily coronavirus briefing.

“They said ‘Sir, we can make this work very easily’ … I said there’s nothing more important in our country than keeping our people safe, whether it’s from the China virus or the radical left mob.”

Piling on the offense there at the end is how you know Trump wants to change the subject.

  1. Real reason for Trump's cancellation is that many prominent Republicans weren't planning to attend. They evidently heard of that virus thingie that Trump said months ago was a Chinese hoax, because that's what Hannity and Limbaugh told him.

  2. For once, he managed not to say the quiet part out loud.

    “…I said there’s nothing more important in our country than keeping our people safe”..to hell with everyone else.

    1. If you read some of the COVID reports out of Texas, he's doing a shitty job of keeping 'his' people safe.  Nobody is safe with Trump behind the wheel.

  3. Washington Post suggested the cancelled rally and promise to do some else "really exciting" as an acceptance speech MAY have something to do with the Trump Organization applying for a trademark on "Telerally."

    In an application to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a subsidiary of the Trump Organization sought to trademark the word “telerally,” for use in “organizing events in the field of politics and political campaigning.”

    That could mark a shift in the company’s business model.
