BRACK: Like before, President Trump introduces the fear card

By Elliott Brack |  You could almost see it coming. Desperate to retain the presidency, now Donald Trump has introduced the Fear Card in the 2020 race. Shades of Richard Nixon!

One also wonders if he is influencing enough of the many terrorist groups for them to start agitating so that they can deliberately clash with protesters, to then allow President Trump to “send in the troops,” making him appear as the law-and-order candidate.

BRACK: Republicans’ immediate response on election was gratifying

By Elliott Brack  |  Note that today is exactly three months until the national election on November 3. It was gratifying to find several national Republican figures quickly speaking out once President Trump mentioned postponing the national elections.
