Trump is holding his first campaign rally since Covid-19 in Tulsa on Juneteenth. Sure it could be a coincidence but does no one in his campaign think this is a bad idea?

It’s a horrible idea. But Trump will still do it.

Seems they have reconsidered this date and made a change. Interesting that the tweet sites "African American friends" as the reason. I think there are plenty of Americans from all ethnic groups that found the combination of the rally date and Tulsa location objectionable. I think it is a good choice to make the change.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-resche ... 54092.htmlPresident Donald Trump said Friday that he is rescheduling his first campaign rally in months to a day later so it won't conflict with the Juneteenth observance of the end of slavery in the United States.
Trump had scheduled the rally — his first since early March — for June 19 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Black leaders said it was offensive for Trump to pick that day and that place, a city that in 1921 was the site of a fiery and orchestrated white-on-black attack.
Trump tweeted late Friday, “Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday."
He said he is moving the rally to June 20 “to honor their requests.”

He's changing it because people are pissed. He's never done anything 'out of respect' for anyone.MonarchMom wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 7:52 am Seems they have reconsidered this date and made a change.

My city will be hosting the RNC. I wonder if they know that August 27th is the 60th anniversary of Axe Handle Saturday and if they'll mention it.
