Good monday morning, everybody. It is may 25th, memorial day. We are remembering those who lost their lives during a battle were still trying to win against the coronavirus. The u. S. Death toll from the virus is now approaching 100,000. Eclipsing that of the wars in vietnam, the persian gulf and afghanistan.

In fact, the internal polling shows him behind joe biden in 11 key states everywhere from wisconsin to pennsylvania to michigan. That seemed to surprise the president when it came up in his recent abc news interview. Even your own polls show youre behind right now dont they . No. My polls show im winning everywhere.

I just had a meeting with somebody that is a pollster and im winning everywhere. Or maybe nobody showed him the polls. It is not fair whether the president did
