Donald Trump's Reported Plans to Continue Holding Rallies Has People Fired Up
11/10/2020 01:31 pm EST
No Purpose
Many critics wondered out loud what practical purpose Trump's rallies could serve, given that attendees will not have another chance to vote in the 2020 presidential election. Some argued that he intended to mislead the public further, while others thought he was just trying to stroke his own ego.
No Air Time
While Trump may not be stopped from hosting rallies, many critics called on TV stations and news networks to avoid airing those speeches to public, saying that they would only serve to mislead Americans further. Trump has often made some of his most radical and untruthful remarks at his rallies, not in official speeches as president.
Fear
Many commenters also expressed fear of how Trump's supporters would respond to his ongoing rallies — particularly the extremist militia groups that support him, such as the Proud Boys and the Boogaloo movement.
No Work
May Americans raised concerns about what presidential duties Trump would, in turn, ignore during the time he continues to hold rallies after the election. With over two months left to go in his term, they thought that he should focus on serving the American people in any way he could with the time he has left.
Where?
Some Trump supporters responded with their eagerness to attend more rallies, even though the election is over. In addition, people on both sides questioned where Trump's rallies would be held — wondering if he would target the states where he was already successful or the ones that voted for Biden.
Criminal
Given the likelihood that rallies would spread COVID-19 among attendees and rattle public faith in the United States' Democratic process itself, many commenters argued that there should be a criminal case against Trump for hosting them. So far, there is no real case, and nothing to suggest that one would hold up.
