MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump says the Democrats will turn the country into “one giant sanctuary for criminals” by defunding police and instigating attacks on law enforcement officers. “If you give the power to Democrats, the radical left will defund, disband, disarm and dismantle police departments all across America. Asked if he [Biden] supports slashing police funding, he said ‘yes, yes, absolutely yes,’” Trump said at a Saturday campaign rally in Janesville, Wisconsin. Trump pointed to prolonged unrest that Democrat-run states, such as Chicago, New York and Oakland, have been suffering from amid Black Lives Matter protests. “This year […]
An honest question: If Donald Trump were trying to lose the presidency, what would he have done differently? Not much, if you ask me. No, I’m not suggesting Trump wants to lose so he can be a martyr and quit having to do any real work. This theory, which I see as the triumph of hope over optimism, continues to persist (at some points, the hope has gone so far as to suggest that Trump might even resign). Trump wants to win. It’s just that he’s pursuing a strategy that will probably guarantee he doesn’t. Consider a checklist of recent decisions: […]

If Trump won them all, he’d still be at a losing 217. If Biden were to win them all, he’d hit 417. No one has topped 400 since George H.W. Bush in 1988. That’s an […]
