Trump reverses course, puts Iowa and Kansas back on
A day after the cancellation, Trump reinstated the Iowa and Kansas rallies for Sunday, telling the Daytona Beach crowd that organizers in both states had asked him to still appear to secure wins.
“they called me in Iowa and they called me in Kansas, and they said, 'Sir, would it be possible to do a little rally of about 50,000 people each?' And I said, 'Does it matter?'”

Trump is no doubt worn out (and it is showing), but more importantly his rallies are not helping. In fact they appear to be hurting his chosen candidates. And he is obviously terribly embarrassed by his small crowds in tiny venues. Plus his hecklers seem to be getting to him.

Canks is losing it and his handlers are finally doing damage control.

DAMN!!! I Wanted To See a Cult Close Up!
-
So when does the media speculate on his health as if it were Biden
-
He probably is entertaining Bolsonaro this weekend.
-
I don't like it. Why isn't he more panicked? Where is The Muskrat? What's he up to? Five more days. I'm a basket case 😞
-
I just posted as much. Not going to do much good.
-
It's nice that the tiny venues enable him to hear the hecklers now. 😁
-
Donny can't take being heckled at his own events 😂
-
Please be health related. We lost Sir Patrick Stewart today, we deserve some good news for once
-
How the hell are we supposed to know how Husted's ass is doing, now?!
-
His ratings dove after each horribly failed attempt at coherence on stage, and the talking about other dudes asses isn't helping win his base back at all...
-
That’s a shame. Dems could still use him in a few more close races.
-
People are showing him, they are not afraid of him finally
-
I guess they finally figured out that Trump's appearances are hurting the GOP candidates, not helping them.
-
My personal favorite today was the guy who said that he wasn’t old enough to go to Jonestown to see a cult up front and in person
-
Something tells me he’s about to hide out for the weekend.. likely do something ridiculous
-
He’s pooped, his voice is hoarse, too many protestors, small cult size, old stale racist rhetoric, his endorsements are in jeopardy. He also wants to golf this weekend probably with fugitive Flavio.

It's because they keep having to move the partitions closer and closer together.
