NO COLLUSION..!!!!

Trump is not hiding what he does. His re-election will mean that the country has failed.

Meanwhile he's formally messaging that he's all for enfranchisement:

BREAKING: President Trump will pardon Susan B. Anthony, found guilty by an all-male jury of illegal voting in 1872 presidential election. @CBSNews
— Paula Reid (@PaulaReidCBS) August 18, 2020

Likely this was suggested by campaign staff people who are much more clever than Trump. Now if they can just get him to stop tweeting for a couple months, I bet they got lots more rehabilatative suggestions...

I think he's more pardoning the silver dollar - definitely didnt launch to expectations - She wuz robbed.

Yes:

The USPS is one of those things where if Trump were a more cunning politician, he might have maintained plausible deniability and gotten away with causing real problems for Democrats around the margin. Instead, he gave away the plot last week!

A clever tweet for once, speaking to his base, he knows what the situation was that he manipulated to win:

People forget how divided our Country was under ObamaBiden. The anger and hatred were unbelievable. They shouldn’t be lecturing to us. I’m here, as your President, because of them!

TRUMP CARES..!!!! Who would have known? He is counting the dead! TRUMP IS PROUD OF HIS NUMBERS! It's over 170,000 now, Michelle said over 150,000!

"She was over her head, and frankly, she should've made the speech live, which she didn't do, she taped it. And it was not only taped, it was tape a long time ago, because she had the wrong [coronavirus] deaths." @RealDonaldTrump

Helluva bigger dead crowd than Obama could manage. Puny Ebola numbers. Manly respectable Covid deaths.

Yes, from this it appears that is what she meant:

Alexei Navalny is in a coma on a ventilator after apparently being poisoned in Siberia. If confirmed, would be the second time he's been poisoned and make him the third Russian opposition activist to be poisoned in the last couple years.https://t.co/gIiaAnDFu6
