During his North Carolina rally earlier, Demented Donald was particularly vicious and nasty against the Obamas and Nancy Pelosi.
It may be time for Trump to get to the DJ booth and play Ave Maria again. We've seen his low-energy rallies, which pale in comparison to 2016. Vice President Kamala Harris's rallies are packed with enthusiastic crowds. In contrast, Trump has been giving rally speeches to a lot of empty seats, though he denies that.
