Whoa: Trump Gives Harshest Opinion of Biden Yet at Raucous Minny Rally

Minneapolis, MN - After hours of standing in the pouring rain, thousands of Trump supporters finally got to see the president take the stage at the Target Center Thursday night.
The place was packed. Here's a shot I took just a few minutes before POTUS arrived. It's no wonder Trump and his campaign are so confident about winning the state next November.
"This is a great state," Trump said. "We are going to win this state."
The president remarked on America's strong economy, which he credited with his administration "putting America first again."
But then he spoke for several minutes about his perceived enemies. The media, he charged, has a "partnership" with the Democrats. He was shocked that coverage about him had gotten "worse."
Take Ukraine, for instance. Trump again called his phone call with Ukrainian Zelensky "perfect." He's compelled to speak out about it, he explained, because "the Democrats put out a phony narrative" that he was trying to get Ukraine to interfere in U.S. elections and investigate Joe Biden for political reasons.
"These people are sick," Trump said of the Dems.
None more so than Adam Schiff, who he also called "crooked" and "Shifty Schiff."
If Schiff, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the rest of her party "would have waited one day longer," Trump reasoned, "they would have had the transcript."
"They never thought in a million years that I was going to release the transcript at all."
He took a swipe at one Democratic opponent in particular, Joe Biden, who, he said has the real Ukrainian scandal. His son Hunter reportedly received over a million dollars while sitting on the board of a Ukrainian gas company. That suddenly gave Trump a novel idea for a new T-shirt: "Where's Hunter?"
Former Vice President Biden, Trump said, was "never considered smart." The president then launched one of the harshest attack lines I've heard yet of one of his rivals.
"He was only a good vice president because he knew how to kiss Barack Obama's ass," Trump said of Biden.
One more interesting, parting moment to note. The president had some fun revisiting the string of texts sent between FBI agent Peter Strzok and his lover Lisa Page, mocking both their relationship and their wish that his opponent Hillary Clinton would win.
Trump's impersonation went something like this: "I love you, Peter. I love you too, Lisa! Lisa! Lisa! Lisa. God, I love you Lisa."
The Minneapolis crowd loved every second of it.
"We are going to win this state make no mistake about it," Eric Trump said before his dad took the mic.
They may be right. Even Minnesota Democratic groups are admitting they're nervous.

That was hilarious, Trump is always projecting himself on others, how stupid he is and how far Pence's head is it up Trump's ass. Did you watch him outright lying yesterday, and you could tell he knew he was doing it but had to please the master. Trump or Putin? Letting Turkey attack the Kurds was Putin's bday pressie.
By the way, HA, was your power cut today? Drove by Jeffs this afternoon and they'd cut power around Redding and north they said. Guess Redding has its own power so was fine, by others around it were cut. I had a good laugh from the talk radio up there, it was like an alternative universe.
A bumper sticker for those of us wanting Pence to hold the office of President in 2019!
lol
I think we could fill the entire site with these. But alas I'm off to help my mother-in-law.
This is really a classic though. The water bottle.
not bad, I like this one better.
If you guffaw at a fat narcissistic bully accused of dozens of sexual assaults telling unoriginal jokes, you might be a Trump supporter...
If you chortle at a half-wit serial adulterer and unindicted co-conspirator trying to paint his opponents as the lawless crazy ones, you might be a Trump supporter...
If you giggle at a disgusting lying pig stirring up hate for their fellow man with outrageous false claims, you might be a Trump supporter...
