On this day in 2020, Donald Trump left the hospital and returned to the White House while still infectious with COVID-19.

Today, we’re considering yet more appalling behavior and rhetoric from Donald Trump, in light of yet more appalling poll numbers for the president and his Republican Party.
asserted
we → consider → president
In particular, such numbers concern Latino voters and a run of states that were supposed to be safely red but are now very much in play; such is the mess the GOP has made of the country.
asserted
GOP → concern → country

When Donald Trump wasn’t raving like a madman this weekend, he veered instead from petulant complaint to naked bribery, whining (inaccurately) at Fox & Friends for not covering his Saturday rally in Ohio and repeating his ludicrous offer to pay every U.S. adult if Republicans win on Nov. 3.
asserted
Republicans → rave → Nov.

He also spouted some nonsense about funding the bribe – sorry, “dividend” – with tariff revenues.
asserted
He → spout → revenues
But as observers pointed out when Trump first made his “promise,” at his absurd midterms convention in Dallas last month, giving $5,000 to every adult citizen (although on Friday he promised to pay every citizen, not just adults) simply could not work, even if it was somehow legal – and even if you didn’t take into account all the other times Trump has promised payouts for regular Americans which he has not delivered.
uncertain
he → point → which
In the Oval Office, Trump threw in a grim warning: “If the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression much like 1929.”
asserted
you → throw → 1929
Around the country, reporters and editors sighed and reached again for expert opinion.
