Trump mimics fishing
"Despite the fact that you may see pictures where they may not be wearing masks or being 6 feet apart, people are taking precautious" -- Fox News& #39;s coverage of Trump& #39;s Rushmore rally is beyond parody
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem mentions that "we have been witnessing a very troubling situation unfold" in America in recent weeks and turns out she& #39;s talking about [checks notes] threats to monuments, not the ongoing pandemic
Noem introduces Trump by claiming he "spends himself in a worthy cause" and places "the American Constitution before anything else." #UpIsDown
I& #39;m still not sure Trump knows what a virus does
Trump is having a hard time speaking tonight
A somnambulant Trump tries to frame the threat against monuments as the biggest danger America faces right now
Trump mangles the word "totalitarianism"
Trump offers some remarkably overheated rhetoric: "There is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance ... this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution"
Trump is still out here talking about monuments. With the economy in shambles and a pandemic ravaging the country, it appears he wants to make this election about statutes.
"Ulyssesius S Grant"
Trump is very low energy tonight and his audience is sitting in silence
Trump short-circuits when he tries to say "Jefferson"
Trump is out here reading Thomas Jefferson& #39;s Wikipedia page in a monotone
some high-risk reading here from Trump
Trump is very stiff tonight. If people traveled to South Dakota expecting to get the Trump rally experience, it isn& #39;t really happening.
Trump botches the word "founding"
For the second time in this speech, Trump shouts out someone named "Ulyssesius S Grant"
Trump is now just naming random famous Americans
This man is *obsessed* with statues. Nobody cares about American/Confederate statutes more than Donald J Trump
Trump& #39;s sleepy 3rd of July Rushmore paean to inanimate objects ends with him desecrating one of the greatest rock n& #39; roll songs of all time as he leaves the stage
