So why didn’t Trump day [say] that in his announcement?
Why does he have to say it?
If you have not been following the news coming from that area you would already have the answer. Most of what is being implemented before the convention was closed was said to be because of the China virus amid spiking numbers (fake numbers albeit).
As soon as the convention was changed from Charlottesville, NC/SC to Jacksonville, FL the game was afoot and the RNC began to face an uphill battle. You need to pay a little more attention to what is going on. Trump didn’t even need to state a reason because it was as clear as day. When he said the China virus, that wasn’t exactly the truth but the alibi the demonrats were using so it was just easier to use that instead to not alienate possible voters.
Sometimes politicians need to let people off easy rather than to stir up a fight knowing they cannot win. But watch for his responses in future rallies as he will tell you what really went on.
Why does he have to say it? Why does he say many of the things he does? Generally it’s to make his point. He seldom if ever holds back on that.
