Is Donald Trump’s new campaign manager a double agent for the Democrats or just plain stupid? Giving the acceptance speech on the White House lawn was strange enough, but Gettysburg? ????

What occurred to me is that maybe this was said as snark, and Trump didn’t understand that, so he proudly got on his tweet box and tooted his own horn. If, on the other hand, this is on the level, it’s just more wood on the fire of how out of touch the Republican party really is.

Seems more like an air raid siren than a dog whistle to me. Maybe his supporters will come out and bring their Confederate flags. Maybe they’ll be dressed in sheets. Who knows? This is not a bright idea, whoever came up with it.

    • Pennsylvania voters will be interesting to watch. There will be the ones coming out with the Confederate flags, if Trump does this crazy thing, and then there will be the ones coming out to vote for Uncle Joe.

      • You are so right on here about Pennsylvania. And this is from someone who was born and raised there–my brother has always said there’s something about so many Pennsylvanians that to him appears to be cultural/social schizophrenia. He lives in Illinois, has done for decades; I live in MD, ditto and each time we’d visit our folks we’d notice this weird schism. My husband, who grew up in DC innocently commented on it years back: he observed that so many of the people he met in and around Harrisburg, where I grew up, seemed to be rednecks; but what he found interesting was that they also seemed to be pretty openly racist. But the Confederate flags in front yards always astounded him.

        • Then history is repeating itself, if Trump does this. We will see the openly racist in Pennsylvania along with the people pushing for an end to the racism. And that is what happened at Gettysburg back in the day. Hopefully we won’t have the muskets or bloodshed, but the dynamic would appear to be the same.

  3. He’s trying anyway he can, to draw attention to himself. The only thing more ridiculous than this speech will be the debates with Biden. I am still not sure he will actually do a debate. I suspect his people know he is misfiring on too many cylinders to even attempt it.

    • You know, you are likely onto something here. He really does seem to be misfiring, and it’s not just a once-in-awhile thing anymore. He seems very wacky and unbalanced. Well. More so even than he did as long ago as 2015.

  4. He has a golf course close to DC. He should use that: stand in front of the fake memorial he put up to a non-existent battles, and accept a fake nomination for a job he still can’t do.

  5. When I first saw your headline I thought you were just pulling our leg for a bit of levity after the weekend of cray-cray from Bedminster. But you weren’t. And as I mentioned down the thread, I’m originally from PA, with more visits to Gettysburg than I can even remember–seems all family members from Missouri wanted to tour the battlefield, and as we had a lot of them visiting during my childhood, there I’d find myself, in the heat of July or August, pointing out various hillocks or rocky hiding places or open battlefields.

    Gettysburg is about as close to holy ground as you’re gonna get in this part of the world. Of the ~161,000 men on the battlefields over the three days of the actual battle, there were give or take 51,000 casualties. And back then, folks who were wounded far too often died later and in agony. This battle turned the tide and put us back on the road to a united country. And this guy wants to sully this place and this battle with his presence? Give me a freakin’ break.

    • When you visited Gettysburg did you sense any “ghostly” activity? I thought that was just CT, but then I spoke to somebody who said that she didn’t like the “vibe” at night, “it gave me the creeps.” I’ve always wondered about that.

      • I remember feeling like I wasn’t alone. But in all candor, both my Dad and I have experienced things we could not explain, which may mean I was simply open to images from the past and just took them for granted. My Dad saw on the wall of his tent one night while in the middle of a sweep of German countryside only some of the faces of the guys in his platoon and knew instantly that these were the ones who wouldn’t make it home. And they did not.

        Years and years later he’d “see” from Kansas City, MO while we were there on vacation the face of a neighbor back in PA when he awoke in a cold sweat; he knew this neighbor had just passed. He did this enough that we just got used to it and accepted it.

        I saw my grandmother, who was my very favorite person in the entire world, standing in my bedroom, and although I knew she had passed the night before, I did not know how she had been dressed by the funeral home. I described everything to my mother, hair, makeup, dress, open in the back, and freaked her out. And there had been no discussion of any of this–which meant I’d somehow seen it. This wasn’t a one-off for me.

        I don’t think this is at all unusual–but rather that most of us just aren’t open to it and thus don’t let it in. Hope this makes sense?

    • That is prime. There is some very good wit on Twitter. It’s a cesspool in a lot of ways but it’s got its good points, absolutely.
