'No chance': Trump accused of waging losing battle in blue states just to make a 'threat'

In a recent interview with Breitbart, Donald Trump said he plans to aggressively campaign in blue states like New York, New Jersey, New Mexico, Minnesota and Virginia.

"I'm going to do rallies, I'm going to do speeches, I'm going to work them," Trump said.

Trump even said he plans to hold a rally in Madison Square Garden, which he called the "belly of the beast."

"I believe we have a chance to win New York. I believe we have a chance to win New Jersey," Trump said.

In reality, an expert told Newsweek,, he has barely any chance.

But Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf said Trump wanted to head to the blue states as a way to exploit what he wants to promote as Biden's weakness.

"This is more likely a threat," he said.

"Trump has no chance to win New York or California, for example, certainly the most Democratic in the nation," Sheinkopf said.

"Trump will see where Biden's weaknesses — blame for economic issues — have created sufficient resentment in normally Democratic performing states. Where there is anger, there will be Trump."

"You have migrants living on Madison Avenue. You can't get into a hospital. You can't get into a school. You go to a public school and half the kids are sitting there and have no idea what the teacher is saying," Trump said.

"You can't get into these schools. I think it's really bad and I think the people in New York and New Jersey [...] it would have been semi-unthinkable, but I think these are states that can be won."
