President Trump began his Thursday press conference with a curveball announcement that the Republican National Convention will no longer be held in Jacksonville, Florida.
“I looked at my team and I said the timing for this event is not right. It’s just not right,” Trump said. “To have a big convention, it’s not the right time.”
The President then added that “there’s nothing more important in our country than keeping our people safe” as coronavirus cases continue to surge throughout the country.
Trump went on to say that he would still deliver a convention speech but in a “different form” without going into detail about what that entails.
Although Trump said that RNC delegates will still report to Charlotte, North Carolina — which he originally moved the RNC largely out of after North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) refused to guarantee that the convention could be held at full capacity — he did not go into detail about the RNC’s new plan but teased that “we’ll have a very nice something.”
The President’s whiplash-inducing announcement comes after he recently held rallies and events in Tulsa, Phoenix, South Dakota and Georgia where crowds of maskless attendees appeared to forgo social distancing.

Quick, Ivanka, where’s the upside down bible? I got a photo op…
How are we going to make America great if the deeps state keeps poking it’s nose every time a hippie gets abducted or an antifa beaten?
Maybe Trump will unleash a new campaign slogan today,
“Lets keep the TRUMP/PENCE-DEMIC going strong another 4 years”
Glad to see these probes undertaken. They will definitely cast Trump/Barr in a bad light, especially when Trump fires the IGs. Looks like he fired the IG and made confidential a report about his scandal regarding the Turnberry golf resort. He tried to arm twist the UK gov’t to send the British Open there, but I suspect that there might be some other things which could open up an extensive review of Turnberry finances, which will reveal that the Scottish golf course is basically a place to launder money. Trump doesn’t actually care if it makes a profit. He’s getting a cut of laundered funds. He just needs enough revenue to make it not look ridiculously criminal.
That said, I do not believe the people should be having to face down these rent a cop fake paramilitaries. State police, State AGs, DAs need to get involved at minimum. Nat Guard might create a federalism issue, but use what you’ve got. Arrest any rent a cop who gasses, beats or shoots a protester. Arrest any rent a cop who wanders off fed property in uniform and armed.
