Poor Donald Trump. He's long had the ability to travel to election-battleground states that Joe Biden has lacked, but he doesn't seem to get any mileage out of the visits to such states that he's made this month.
In the first full week of May, Trump toured a factory in Arizona making N95 masks to fight COVID-19 while not wearing a mask himself. As he toured the factory, Guns N' Roses' 1991 cover of Paul McCartney and Wings' "Live and Let Die," the theme song for the James Bond movie of the same name, blared on the loudspeaker.
Biden is ahead of Trump by seven percentage points in Arizona in one poll.
A week later, at a protective-equipment warehouse in Pennsylvania, Trump - again, unmasked - said that testing, a tactic to fight the virus that theoretically could reduce the need for masks, is "overrated."
Biden is ahead of Trump by nine percentage points in Pennsylvania in one poll.
Last week, in Michigan - you already know about this - Trump praised Henry Ford's bloodlines, ignoring the anti-Semitic history of the founder of the car company now run by his great-grandson, the same company now getting rid of fuel-efficient cars in America to push more pickup trucks an monster wagons - after getting into a fight with the state's governor and secretary of state, both women, over mail-in voting.
Biden is ahead of Trump by six percentage points in Michigan in one poll.
This past Wednesday, Trump traveled to Florida to witness the historic launch of the SpaceX rocket ship to send astronauts to the International Space Station. The launch was called off due to bad weather. The SpaceX launch was achieved successfully yesterday, and Trump did attend, but getting it right the second time isn't the same thing as getting it right the first time. Also, Trump used the occasion of the launch to lash out at "anarchists" in the civil-rights protests of the past week.
Biden is ahead of Trump by five percentage points in Florida in one poll.
Oh, this ever-changing world in which we live in . . .. :-D
