Michael Avenatti has announced that he will be leading a big resistance rally to be held at the same time as Trump‘s rally in Texas.
Avenatti tweeted:
Since Trump only goes to the most Republican areas of the country, most of the time, his rallies don’t face any direct competition. It is surprising that more people and organizations don’t do what Avenatti is doing. Tom Steyer‘s movement to impeach Trump should consider holding competing rallies near where the president is speaking. Avenatti knows how to get under Trump‘s skin, and the competing Texas rally is a smart move that will drive Trump up the wall.
Avenatti is openly flirting with running for the Democratic nomination in 2020, but the idea that the lawyer for Story Daniels is going to be rallying at the same time as Trump is the ultimate troll job. The message to Trump is that his scandals and crimes are following him. Donald Trump can’t escape his past deeds, and Michael Avenatti is going to serve as a living reminder in Texas.
Trump won the presidency by trolling his opponents, but Michael Avenatti has turned out to be one of the more effective trolls of Trump. More people should learn from Avenatti and challenge one of Trump‘s last remaining platforms. People hold counter-rallies when neo-Nazis or the KKK come to town, so there is no reason that Trump and his hate speech should be treated any differently.
