Trump Wants to Delay the Election & Stamp Out Affordable Housing | The Daily Social Distancing Show - YouTube

With the economy
in crisis mode
[1]
and deaths continuing to soar,
obviously this is all bad
[4]
for President Trump's
re-election hopes.
[6]
And today Trump came up with
a brilliant new strategy
[9]
for the election:
just don't have one.
[12]
Fox News alert.
Some breaking news this hour.
[15]
A tweet from the White House.
President Trump tweeting out
[18]
a short time ago
[19]
on the upcoming
presidential election.
[42]
To be very clear,
the president cannot do that.
[44]
The Constitution is unambiguous
about this, that Congress--
[48]
not a president who may have
[50]
their own self-interest in
mind-- gets to decide
[53]
when the leader of
the United States is elected.
[55]
And to his other point, there
is no evidence, of course,
[58]
of widespread voter fraud
through mail-in voting,
[61]
even in states
with all mail-in votes.
[64]
That's right--
Trump isn't actually allowed
[66]
to delay the election.
[68]
Although not being allowed
to do something
[70]
has never stopped him before.
[72]
Like, we'll still have
the election on November 3.
[75]
But he'll probably just
add 100 days to August.
[77]
And sure, maybe the court
overturns it,
[79]
but that might not happen
until August 73.
[82]
And, I mean, this is an
absurd suggestion, I know.
[85]
We can't reschedule
the election.
[87]
For starters, both candidates
are, like, 200 years old.
[89]
I mean, we got to
keep things moving.
[91]
I'm not even sure
that Trump understands
[93]
what an alarming proposal
this is.
[95]
Because this is basically
the move of a dictator.
[97]
But Trump is casually
throwing it out there
[99]
in a tweet
with a bunch of question marks,
[101]
like he's on a group text
trying to bail on happy hour.
[104]
Hey, y'all, November 3
is not great for me.
[106]
Maybe we reschedule, 2021?
Thoughts?
[109]
What do you guys think, huh?
[111]
And just, by the way,
you remember a few years ago
[113]
when I said Trump
was an African dictator?
[115]
You remember that?
Yeah? Yeah?
[117]
People acted like I was crazy.
[119]
But this is how it starts.
[120]
First they just suggest
[122]
that maybe you postpone
the election.
[125]
Then they suggest
[126]
that some of the votes
are not valid.
[128]
And pretty soon they're saying,
[129]
"You know what's really unfair?
[131]
(foreign accent): "That there
are two political parties.
[133]
"Why are there
two political parties?
[135]
"Let's just have one.
[136]
"Then you don't have to worry
[138]
"about making
all these decisions anymore!
[141]
America is mine!"
[142]
Oh, and by the way,
I don't know if you remember,
[144]
but three months ago
[145]
Joe Biden predicted
that Trump would try
[147]
to delay the election.
[148]
And this is how Trump reacted
back then.
[151]
I never even thought of changing
the date of the election.
[153]
Why would I do that?
[154]
November 3-- it's a good number.
[157]
Uh, no, I look forward
to that election,
[158]
and that was just
made-up propaganda.
[161]
Oh, I love me
some fake Trump outrage.
[165]
"How dare you?
[166]
I won't sink that low
for at least three more months."
[170]
And just by the way,
"November 3 is a good number"?
[175]
What does that have
to do with anything?
[177]
Elections aren't decided
[178]
based on whether the date
is a cool number.
[180]
If it was, every election
would be held on June 9.
[183]
Nice.
[185]
But, look,
regardless of his insane tweets,
[188]
the chances are
that Trump will not be able
[190]
to move the election,
[192]
which means he's going to have
to come up with a plan
[193]
to win it the old-fashioned
way-- by using racism.
[198]
President Trump is facing
scrutiny for his words
[200]
about affordable housing
and the suburbs.
[202]
He made the comments
while discussing the rollback
[204]
of a housing rule aimed at
fighting racial discrimination,
[208]
as Trump works to court
white suburban voters.
[211]
There will be no more low-income
housing forced into the suburbs.
[215]
I abandoned and took away
and just rescinded the rule.
[219]
KENNETH MOTON: The Obama-era
rule forced local governments
[221]
that receive
federal housing funds
[223]
to assess patterns of racial
housing discrimination
[225]
and submit plans
to eliminate it.
[228]
On Wednesday
the president tweeted,
[229]
"I am happy to inform
all the people
[231]
"living their
suburban lifestyle dreams
[233]
"that you will no longer be
bothered or financially hurt
[236]
"by having low-income housing
built in your neighborhood.
[238]
"Your housing prices will go up
based on the market,
[241]
and crime will go down.
Enjoy."
[243]
Later in Texas, the president
reaffirming that message.
[246]
I've seen conflict for years.
[248]
It's been hell for suburbia.
[252]
We rescinded the rule
three days ago,
[255]
so enjoy your life, ladies
and gentlemen, enjoy your life.
[259]
Okay, first of all,
suburban lifestyle dream
[261]
sounds like the world's lamest
Katy Perry song,
[264]
but just in case
it wasn't clear,
[266]
Trump is saying that he's going
to stop Black people
[268]
from moving into white people's
neighborhood.
[271]
I mean, it's not even
subtle enough
[273]
to call that a dog whistle.
[275]
It's too loud.
[276]
It's more like a dog steel drum.
[278]
♪ I won't let the Black people
live near you. ♪
[280]
(vocalizing)
[282]
Now, look, I don't know
why having Black people
[285]
move into your neighborhood
is a bad thing,
[287]
but apparently it's so scary,
[289]
the Trump campaign has already
made it into a horror movie.
[293]
(laughter)
[294]
NARRATOR: They were living
the dream lifestyle.
[298]
They thought the high property
values would never end.
[303]
Until one day...
[308]
-(screaming) -From the team that
brought you migrant caravans...
[313]
...comes a whole new
election season fear.
[316]
What happens when your street
goes from suburban to urban?
[322]
(doorbell rings)
[323]
(woman screams)
[327]
This fall.
[332]
(laughter)
[335]
Damn, I'm Black
and I'm still scared.
