1. It's more than holding a public event at his winery. More than redistricting a state with a democratic governor.

2. He's in Thomas Jefferson territory.

3. Charlottesville is cobalt blue for the most part.

4. Trump's deluded (well, we already know he is) if he believes that UVA students would be flocking to see him.

5. Trump going to Charlottesville (where the Unite the Right riot occurred/Heather Heyer) IMO is akin to Reagan opening his 1980 presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where the three civil rights activists were murdered by the Klan. Nothing is random.
