Today, Benedict Donald rode around in a Trump-labeled garbage truck. Next, he's doing campaign events in Virginia and New Mexico. Does his staff really, truly hate him, or what?
Trump is not going to win either of those states. And the garbage truck stunt just keeps Tony Hinchcliffe's Puerto Rico insult in the news. (Plus, goodness gracious, Donald nearly fell over trying to get back into the passenger seat. Will the press jump on it the way they jumped on Hillary leaving the 9/11 ceremony in 2016? Don't hold your breath.)
We cats can think of one possible reason for going to Virginia and New Mexico: When Trump visits battleground states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania, he hurts himself and down-ballot Republican candidates. No doubt GOP state parties have begged Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles to keep Donald away. So they're sending him places where the harm can be kept to a minimum.
The other, overarching reason for these silly decisions is that Team Trump is more focused on providing some kind of perception that they're winning, rather than doing the actual work to win. Thus the performance art at McDonald's, the faux outrage over something Joe Biden didn't say, and now, today's embarrassing garbage stunt.
The Trump campaign is made up of extremists, like their candidate. They're not making choices based on solid data and strong logistics — they're operating from impulse, like Donald does. That's why they do stupid things and look ridiculous. Our job is to not let their craziness define our reality. Just keep working, everyone. We cats PURR.
