Yeah, I think also I texted somebody who speaks to the president fairly often and asked him what was it with these on and off, on again and off again rallies, because now he's making a story out of this.
Four days before election day, we are not talking about Trump and what he might be doing about the economy.
Was he sick of going to rallies and doing all of the traveling? Trump got super vicious and attacked the reporter on the tarmac and said, I can't believe it.
Then of course, a few hours later, they say, okay, yes, actually the rally is back on again.
When he was called out on having canceled the rallies, he didn't like the fact that the news media line was, oh, Mr.
President, are you feeling too tired to do rallies and you're going to do a whole load of tele-rallies instead, which is what the White House has said.
We know this about him, right? When we did our series for our founding members, he hates looking weak.
When I get in Twitter spats with him, which is not often anymore, but used to be, if you call him fat, well, first of all, you can't fat shame, but if you say you're a little plumpy, he goes crazy.
So if you're a little frumpy and a little clumpy and you're old, he goes absolutely crazy and they should play that piano key a little bit harder on him because look at what he just did and he doesn't want to go and they don't want him there.
It was almost like, okay, how can we help ourselves in these two states? This is the Democrats thinking, let's egg the cat on a little bit.
