President Donald Trump is acting as though a handful of angry tweets will somehow buoy his failing presidential campaign. This Sunday afternoon, he melted down on Twitter over what may have been the latest poll numbers out of Pennsylvania and other states from around the country. He pompously insisted that there “is NO WAY a place like Pennsylvania can vote for the Radical Left and their puppet, Joe Biden” — but the reality of the choices of Pennsylvania voters and voters elsewhere doesn’t change just because Trump wants it to. The most recent Fox polling out of Pennsylvania had presumptive Dem nominee Joe Biden leading by a staggering 11 percent.
Trump tweeted:
‘There is NO WAY a place like Pennsylvania can vote for the Radical Left and their puppet, Joe Biden, when they are against fracking, steel production, and just about everything else that Pennsylvania stands for. Likewise, Texas, and many other states!!!’

In reality, Democrats want to work on modernizing the U.S. industrial framework in order to help people like steelworking families in Pennsylvania become better equipped to find a more sustainable place in the 21st century economy. It’s not some kind of culture war or some kind of issue that’s simply a matter of political will, although Trump seems to use his claims to that effect to mask his utter incompetence surrounding the actual substance of the issues at hand. In reality, globalization has fundamentally altered the global economy, and awareness of the environmental impacts of industry has also put some of what’s left in the U.S. under a sharp spotlight.
Shortly after the above tweet, Trump posted the conspiracy theory that mainstream media outlets were conspiring to keep information about protests in Portland from the public. There’s no evidence of this. What Trump seems to just not like is that these outlets have also been showing the violence that his deployed goons have been inflicting on the peaceful protesters. Remember — Trump is the guy who suggested that 75-year-old Martin Gugino may have been a secret agent of Antifa after he was violently shoved to the ground and left with a fractured skull by Buffalo police. Trump is a gullible loon.
The Lamestream Media, including @FoxNews, which has really checked out, is refusing to show what is REALLY going on in Portland, Seattle, and other places. They want the American public to believe that these are just some wonderful protesters, not radical left ANARCHISTS!

He also hilariously acted like he’s some kind of busy hardworker as an excuse for why he wouldn’t be throwing an opening pitch for the New York Yankees after all.
Because of my strong focus on the China Virus, including scheduled meetings on Vaccines, our economy and much else, I won’t be able to be in New York to throw out the opening pitch for the @Yankees on August 15th. We will make it later in the season!
