Between two Americans: For a second term, Trump dives into the most delusional districts
Whether he believes them or promotes them just to sow chaos, the president has adopted the most delusional conspiracy theories.
His supporters will vote for him in any situation, and his goal is to take out the desire of those who are inclined to Baiden.
Instead of engaging in Corona, he prefers to focus on fueling the tension in the streets

A plane full of rioters who came to sabotage the Republican Party convention.
Dark forces that control Joe Biden.
Attempted coup.
Counterfeits in the mail.
These are some of the unfounded and disturbing theories that President Donald Trump has promoted in recent days.
It is difficult to decide which is more serious.
If the President of the United States is able to believe in the angular and baseless practices that were born in the depths of the web and ascended in the rods of one who seeks to blur between connection and reality;
Or if he knows these are lies, some of them deliberately promoting the Russians, and still resonating with them in order to sow chaos towards November.
This has already happened in 2016, with a plot that told of a pedophilia network, in which Hillary Clinton, who operates a pizzeria in Washington and trades children there, is a member.
Someone believed in this ridiculous conspiracy until he arrived with a rifle.
It could have ended worse, but he was stopped and no one was hurt.
But this year it seems that all the lines that have not yet been crossed have already been deleted, and there are two more full months, at least.
One of the theories that has emerged in recent years beyond what can be imagined in relation to this, is the Qanon.
The Q people, as they call themselves, believe Trump is the savior struggling with the dark forces of the Deep State trying to overthrow him.
One of them is even about to enter Congress, and she has won the support of the president himself.
To win a second term, Trump needs each of his supporters.
He can not afford to shake off any of them.
Each vote will decide the most important thing for him - his stay in the White House, whatever the price.

September is an interim month in the US presidential election.
The party conferences are over, the first confrontation between the candidates will take place only at the end of the month and some countries are already starting to vote by mail.
This method, too, which is not new at all - four years ago, about a quarter of voters did it through the mail - was shrouded in a host of unfounded claims from Trump and his supporters.
Their fear is real, but not of the method but of its results.
It is estimated that a mass vote in the mail will benefit Democrats and Biden, because it will prevent the suppression of votes typical of areas where minorities live.
Any electoral concern of Trump regularly becomes one threat or another, and it has not missed the post.
The agency is headed by a prominent Republican donor close to Trump, and he has been accused by Democrats, as well as by postal workers themselves, of deliberately harming the agency due to his intent to make extensive cuts and dismantle sorting machines.
The public outcry and hearings he passed in Congress led him to declare that the reforms would not be implemented before November, but the Biden camp still fears disruptions to the postal voting process.
Trump's call for North Carolina residents to vote twice - that is, to explicitly break the law - will not help allay that fear.

Two issues are expected to occupy the United States until the election, if there are no unexpected dramas in other sectors.
The corona, for its health and economic derivatives, and the attitude of the authorities towards blacks and the violence against and against them.
In Trump's parallel universe, or as senior adviser Klyan Conway put it until recently, these are merely alternative facts, and his administration has properly dealt with the plague.
But in the United States the number of dead and infected is the highest in the world, by a considerable margin, and the confused messages and inconsistent policies of the White House play a part in this.
If at the beginning of the plague Trump said a mask was a "political tool" against him and vehemently refused to be seen with one in public, recently it has become the ultimate symbol of patriotism.
His clear statement at the beginning of the health crisis in favor of wearing masks would probably have saved many lives.
Because the preoccupation with Corona, which according to the polls worries voters more than the issue of street crime, is not good with Trump, the president is vigorously promoting the launch of a pre-election vaccine.
States in the United States have been instructed to prepare for the vaccine right next to November 3rd.
The administration denies that political pressure is being exerted on the FDA, but if "such an October surprise comes", many are likely to question the safety of the vaccine.
Especially after the World Health Organization announced on Friday that no vaccine is expected until May next year.
Biden, for his part, promises to go with the scientists and re-close the economy if necessary, contrary to the position of Trump who opposed the closures imposed at the start of the eruption by the governors.

Trump is more comfortable talking about the rule of law and order on the streets, even though he promised to do so as early as 2016.
But Trump is not acting like the president of the United States, but like the president of the Republicans.
It treats parts of the United States as foreign and hostile states, battlefields that the federal government should invade, assuming that their rule is democratic.
For the sake of his voters, he is willing to go to the end, even if it means refusing to condemn acts of violence by his opposing side.
While the suspect in the murder of one of his supporters in Portland was strongly condemned, the defendant in the murder of two protesters in Knosha, Wisconsin, also his supporter, he presented as acting in self-defense.
He expressed no shock, or any reaction, to the harsh video showing a group of police officers putting a cover on the head of a naked black detainee in New York State, until he suffocated and was taken to a hospital.
He did not wish recovery to Jacob Blake, whose multiple shots in the back ignited the same demonstrations in Knusha.
He could have done so, without choosing a side.
To say he hopes Blake will stand on his own two feet and that he is awaiting the results of the investigation.

"Neo-Nazis - Out!": Racist protest disrupts silence in Virginia
To the full article
This is not new.
One of the most memorable events from the beginning of Trump's tenure in general, was the murder of a 2017 anti-neo-Nazi demonstrator in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The president failed to strongly condemn her trampling by white supremacist supporters, saying "there were good people there too" in the ranks of far-right protesters.
John Kelly, then chief of staff, stared at the floor, shook his head and clasped his hands in disbelief at the news.
He is no longer in government, like many other factors who were considered restrained.
Trump surrounded himself with saying loyalists and changed the face of the Republican Party.
No wonder senior Republican officials are expressing support for Biden one after another.
This is no longer their party, but the Trump party, and the Republican convention gave a final seal to that, with about half of all key speakers being members of the president's family.
We are
Biden presents himself as the one who will unite divided America and embrace them all, and decided to resume his campaign after months of shutting himself in his home in Delaware for fear of Corona.
The 78-year-old former vice president knows that key states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, which Clinton lost four years ago, are far from in his pocket.
He must show a presence on the ground and not just leave it to Trump until the first confrontation, which is being built on in Trump's campaign in the belief that the president will function better than Biden who tends to be outspoken.
It's not that the president is missing, but here lies the significant difference between the two.
Polls show more enthusiasm among those who say they will vote for Trump than those who say they will vote for Biden.
It is very difficult to persuade Trump supporters not to vote for him, while Biden needs to persuade a wider range of voters, from Republicans who are fed up with Trump to the extremist wing of Bernie Sanders' party.
Trump's task is seemingly easier.
He does not necessarily owe those who tend to vote for Biden.
He can settle for them staying home due to mutual lack of enthusiasm from the candidates.
This was the case with Clinton in 2016, which is why the president's campaign is trying to portray the former vice president as senile, mentally incompetent, a puppet of the radical left and the Chinese, and more.
Until November, Trump will spare nothing to stress "we," law-abiding Americans who want to live quietly in the quiet suburbs, and "they," dangerous anarchists who want to destroy the country.
It may pay off for him in the end.
Not sure for the whole of America as well.
