In reality, the fake news about the fake polls seems illogical. How is it possible for Trump to have 54 percent approval on the economy and 70 percent disapproval on the virus — and in the same poll? Nor would 300,000 people have donated a total of $20 million in a single virtual fundraiser by Trump if they believed the near-unanimous propaganda that he’s certain to lose in November. Nor would the ‘peaceful’ (Joe’s word) burning down of a courthouse in Portland, Oregon, cheered on by its mayor, edge Trump into a two- or three-point snap lead over Joe in a solid blue bastion.

Meanwhile as motorized gangs attack an armed funeral procession — the citizens of Chicago, Tommy guns blazing as in the bad old days — Mayor Lori Lightfoot threatens with exquisite timing that ‘Trump won’t be allowed to interfere with the safety of the citizens of Chicago.’

Rasmussen, the only national poll remaining, has Trump at 48 percent approval and trending up. Translated logically, this gives Trump a wide lead in all battleground states that would translate into a bit more than 300 Electoral College votes. Let’s take this as grounds for examining what a second Trump term would lead us to expect.
