It is normally Donald Trump’s unpredictability that makes him so frightening as a leader, but in his final days of campaigning, it’s been easy to predict what he’ll scream at rallies and what he’ll type in all caps on Twitter. There’s a pattern: Trump has done everything perfectly and better and bigger than anyone in history, the world will end if Joe Biden is elected, the only way Trump will lose is if he’s cheated, and the country is full of really bad people all working in coordination to take him, as well as his followers, down.
On Monday, the final day of campaigning, Trump’s messages hadn’t changed.

Joe Biden is bought and paid for by Big Tech, Big Media, Big Donors, and powerful special interests. They are desperate for him to win because they own him, they control him, and they know he will always do their bidding! https://t.co/gsFSghkmdM pic.twitter.com/7zJvOFACWz

It’s the same us versus them and “only I can fix it” recycled for 2020. In the face of the worst pandemic the country has seen since 1917, the worst civil unrest since the 1960s, and the worst unemployment rate since the Great Depression of the 1930s and 1940s, Trump has to paint a very bleak picture of what will happen if Biden wins to make it sound worse than what it is now, under Trump.
He’s said that we’ve rounded the corner on COVID-19 while record numbers of infections are reported every day and hospitalization rates soar. He’s said that he created the greatest economy in history while 7.9 percent of the country is unemployed. He’s said that he’s made America great again, but that he needs to be re-elected so he can make it great again…again.
Twitter was unimpressed with Trump’s posturing and fear-mongering. Read some of their comments below:
