[Global Times reporter He Ping Wang Xiaoxiong] "After leaving the election meeting, he (US President Trump) did not yell, but was very silent. When he returned to the White House and walked out of the special plane, the loose tie around his neck. Rump waved at the reporter with a failed expression and a crumpled red hat in his hand." The New York Times on the 21st described the performance of the US president after the election rally last Saturday. The Trump campaign had previously declared that 1 million people had signed up for the event, but only 6,200 people attended the rally that day. The Associated Press quoted a source as saying that the president was "smoky." The report commented that Trump had hoped to show his strength through this rally, but exposed his weaknesses.

"The New York Times" said that before reaching the venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the 20th, Trump received news on the special plane that the audience at the venue was less than expected. According to the British "Guardian" report, the Trump campaign claimed that 12,000 people participated in the rally on the 20th, but the Tulsa fire department said that only 6,200 people appeared in the venue. Because the number is too small, the Trump campaign canceled the president's plan to deliver a speech at the outdoor rally at the last moment on the 20th. The source said that the President of the United States was very angry about the small number of participants. The National Broadcasting Corporation said that what made Trump particularly angry was that before he left Washington DC for Tulsa, his assistant publicly stated that the six members of the President's Tulsa work team tested positive for the new crown virus.
What went wrong? According to CNN, the manager of the Trump campaign, Pascal, promised that there will be a large number of supporters to attend the rally, but the result is diametrically opposed. The daughter and adviser of the US president Ivanka and his husband library Shina was very angry. Pascal blamed the media on the main cause of the "accident". "Fake media agencies have been using the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic and protesters to warn people to stay away from campaign rallies over the past week. They have also included pictures of city fires in the news, which has affected people bringing their families and children to the rally." Pa Skyer said. He also believes that Tulsa’s law enforcement has overreacted, making it difficult for Trump supporters to enter the venue. He claimed to have received thousands of emails from presidential supporters who indicated that they wanted to enter the venue but were stopped. The Trump campaign team claimed that demonstrators blocked the entrance to the campaign assembly, but reporters at the scene denied the claim. Trump’s aides believe that the reason for the small number of people at the rally was that the president failed to dispel public concerns about possible infection with the new coronavirus.
According to the US "Washington Post" reported on the 21st, this rally was a fiasco for Trump. The New York Times said the event highlighted the president’s declining approval rating. According to CNN reports, the latest polls released by Reuters and Ipsos Group show that the US Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president Biden led Trump with a support rate of 48% (35%). Agence France-Presse said that with only about five months left before the election, Trump's political destiny faces the highest risk. According to the New York Times, the US President’s adviser said that they are struggling to deal with anxious “gold masters” and Republican lawmakers. These people keep asking whether the low number of participants in the campaign rally means that Trump is facing too much problems. Whether these problems cannot be solved before the election. According to Reuters, Biden and the Democrats raised $80.8 million in campaign funds in May, which is higher than the $74 million of Trump and the Republican Party.
The unfavorable departure from the 20th did not make Trump slump. The Guardian said that the US president planned to travel to Arizona on Tuesday to cut the ribbon for the completion of the border wall built there, before giving a speech. He will also travel to Wisconsin to participate in the event on Thursday. Both states are the "main battlefields" for this year's election. Trump's former adviser and current critic Scaramucci told CNN that the US president now has only one campaign strategy, which is to incite anger and split the society.
According to the "Washington Post" report on the 21st, Trump said at a campaign rally on Saturday night that he asked officials to slow down the detection of the new crown virus, which was criticized by health experts, Democrats and government officials. . Several senior U.S. government officials involved in responding to the new crown pneumonia epidemic said privately that government officials and the vice president have been working hard to convince people that Trump has been tirelessly eradicating the virus, and that it is getting faster and faster, but Trump week Six nights of speech weakened this message. The US House of Representatives Speaker and Democrat Pelosi issued a statement on the 21st criticizing that detection is the only way to resist the new crown virus, but the president ordered a slower work that could save more lives. Public health experts in multiple states in the United States believe that the epidemic is likely to strike again in the fall, and confluence with seasonal flu will pose a great challenge to the US medical system.
