Trump Historically Humiliated on Eve of Convention

Donald Trump had a humiliating twenty-four hours leading up to the first night of the Republican National Convention. The President golfed on Saturday while the coronavirus death toll in the United States surpassed 180,000. Word leaked that Trump would announce an FDA emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma. This is something that has been going on in tons of countries for months, but Trump acted like it was some big breakthrough.

At yesterday's press conference, Trump only took three questions — one of them from right-wing "news" outlet One America News Network. During a Fox News interview, Trump was asked about the top accomplishments of his first term and he failed to answer the question coherently. He mentioned healthcare and transparency which are just laughable claims. Millions of Americans lost their health coverage under the Trump administration before coronavirus. Since the pandemic, the problem has gotten a lot worse. As far as transparency goes, the Trump White House might be the most corrupt of all time.

BREAKING: Biden Interviewed, Doesn't Implode, Completely Coherent

Joe Biden, Democratic Nominee for President, was interviewed by ABC's David Muir and it was utterly unremarkable. Republicans keep expecting Biden to implode in these interviews and speeches, but Biden once again did just fine. He talked about how Trump has failed the American people on coronavirus. Biden said he would listen to scientists and medical experts, which is a stark contrast from Donald Trump, who only does what is politically advantageous for himself.

Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris was also present at the ABC interview and talked about how her experience differs from Joe Biden’s. The two talked about how their identities provide them with different perspectives on life in America. They also patched up their notorious disagreement from the first Democratic debate, wherein Harris took Biden to task on the topic of busing and befriending segregationists. Overall, the interview was completely normal, which is the opposite of any Trump public appearance.

From over the weekend:

Furious Trumpist Arrested for Chasing People

A caller known as "Jimmy from Philly" called in and told a story about how he was recently arrested for public intoxication. According to Jimmy, anti-Trumpists stole his Trump 2020 lawn signs and drove off with them. Jimmy chased after them on foot and caught up with them at a red light. The police responded to the incident and took Jimmy away for being drunk in public. The entire story came across as very strange and only somewhat believable.
