“The convention has three main goals: 1) to convince viewers the Trump Administration is working hard on their behalf…”

Good luck with that! I guess for the ultra-gullible, it might be do-able. There are lots of gullible, easily led, souls in the MAGA (actually MIGA) movement. For those with a brain, capable of independent, critical thinking, that should be a steep, uphill climb. I mean, you have an Administration and President who have gone out of their way to take a crappy Biden economy and make it even worse. They started an unnecessary war on behalf of Israel against Iran, ostensibly to keep Iran from getting nukes because that would somehow be the worst thing, ever. At one time I might have believed that. In the present day, I do not blame Iran for wanting nukes, with a bellicose, genocidal neighbor like Israel. People make much of Iran saying “death to America” and “death to Israel” since 1979. Iran is another one of those countries, like Ukraine, that our incessant meddling in their internal affairs has brought much upheaval and misery upon. Can you blame them for not looking at us as their most favored nation? Anyway, most of these chants have been empty talk from Iran. Israel doesn’t talk that much, but they DO a lot of stuff to cause harm to Iran and other neighbors, frequently by goading “big brother” USA into attacking them and doing Israel’s fighting for them. But why let facts get in the way of expending billion$ in missiles, drones, American military personnels’ lives, and other things against a country that even if they had nukes, had no real reason to use them on us; at least not until Trumpstein’s wars against Iran for Israel over the past year or so, gave them many reasons? This war, whether directly or indirectly, has driven up petroleum prices and threatened availability. Petroleum drives the prices of everything else; whether groceries, building materials, electricity, or anything else. Trump has taken the Biden economy and made it worse for us. As if that were not bad enough, Trumpstein says he doesn’t care that we pay more for petroleum because he has a war to press (for Israel). That, plus to paraphrase Ed Wuncelear (sp?),III in The Boondocks episode “The Garden Party”, “I don’t care, cause I’M RICH, BITCHEZ”. Additionally, we taxpayers pay for most of his travel these days, anyway.

Then there is the little matter of the poisons that Trumpstein advocates for or otherwise pushes on us “useless eaters” on behalf of his Epstein Class Elite buddies and cronies. Chem trails still regularly fill our skies, just as they have for recent decades. Covid jabs are still pushed as somehow legit, by Mr Operation Warp Speed’s Administration, despite questions raised by RFK, Jr. In February of this year, Trumpstein did an EO to increase availability and use of the carcinogen glyphosate on our wheat and other crops.

Sorry, you will not have an easy time convincing me that Trump works for us.

If that’s the poster for the convention, Trump is “All hat. No cattle.”

So kind of like all those black country music concerts around the country. I doubt there’s been that many men line dancing since there were auditions for extras when filming Brokeback Mountain.
