Trump To Hold Another Rally Amid Pandemic

U.S. President Donald Trump will hold another large rally in support of his re-election campaign, even though the number of coronavirus infections is on the rise again in several states.

According to Trump’s campaign team, he will be speaking to supporters at an open-air rally at Portsmouth airport in New Hampshire on Saturday (July 11), adding that masks would be provided.

All guests must agree at registration that they “voluntarily accept all risks” that could result from a coronavirus infection and Trump’s campaign assumes no liability for this.

#TrumpIsNotWell: Is Trump Fit For November Election?

June 15, 2020 5:14 am

U.S. President Donald Trump turned 74 today 14 June, five months to the November presidential election.

But is he fit to withstand the gruelling re-election campaign?

Some doubts about his fitness (#TrumpIsNotWell) are emerging after some incidents during his appearance at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York.

Results of a routine physical released early this month showed he was overweight — 244 pounds (110 kilograms) — but with otherwise normal test results.

But at the military academy, Trump showed t …

Trump Claims 75 Year-Old Man Faked Fall After Shoved By Police

June 10, 2020 6:10 am

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that an elderly man bleeding from the head after he was shoved to the ground by US riot police was a far-left agitator faking the shocking incident.

“I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?” Trump asked on his massively followed Twitter account.

Two police officers in Buffalo, New York, were charged with assault after the incident last week in which protester Martin Gugino, 75, was pushed and fell straight backwards after approaching an advancing line of police in helmets and body armour.
