In Press Conference Disaster, Trump Claims Florida Yard Signs Mean He's Beating Biden

In Press Conference Disaster, Trump Claims Florida Yard Signs Mean He’s Beating Biden


Trump claimed during his press conference, that the presence of a number of yard signs in Florida means that he is beating Joe Biden.

Trump said, “I think we have really good poll numbers. They’re not suppression polls. They’re real polls. You look at the intercoastal in Florida. You look at the lakes. You see thousands and thousands of boats with Trump signs, American signs. You’ve got the Trump/Pence signs. You look at bikers for miles and miles riding with their signs.”

Trump went on to claim that 2020 is just like 2016, even though they are completely different elections and he is running against a different opponent.



Pointing to yard signs, and bikers is the sort of desperate grasping for positive omens that losing candidates do. Trump couldn’t fill up a building red-state Oklahoma, and he had to cancel another rally in New Hampshire. The reality is that Trump is losing. 2020 isn’t 2016, and he is making a gigantic blunder by thinking that he can run the same election strategy and win.

Trump’s press conference was a rant filled disaster. It was really a campaign rally disguised as a press conference.

Trump is losing and the stench of desperation is only growing around his behavior.

..., in the same way he claimed about 2016, isn't that an admission that his big beautiful wall doesn't do crap?

Said that he was worried that Trump would do well in Ohio, noting that he saw a lot of Trump yard signs when he went on a bike ride.

There a couple of big-ass Trump signs in my area of Delaware (New Castle County), but he has a snowball's chance 'round here. He does better downstate, but I must say I saw my first Biden 2020 sign in Sussex County last week. It did make me feel better.

10. Democrats are scared to death to put Biden yard signs or bumper stickers out

Because they know that the nut cases will damage their property, steal the signs or far worse. I have a Joe magnetic sticker on my car, but I take it off when I’m shopping in the supermarket parking lot.

It's working so-o-o well.

Was this rambling press conference a tit for tat because Biden gave a speech today?? Donnie can't have Joe Biden upstaging him, snatching his beloved ratings.

It always about the Donnie Hour, the camera fixated on him.

13. If That's The Case, Then My Survey Of My Neighborhood Means Biden Will Win Ohio BIG

Because in my neighborhood, I've seen 6 yards with Biden signs, 6 more yards with Black Lives Matter signs (which are basically Biden signs), and one lonely fool who still has out his Trump 2016 sign (he never took it down).

I would make the count for Biden signs 7, but mine hasn't arrived yet.
