Factually, that’s what he did during his time in office as well. I’m not sure what they thought had changed.
Trump is being told by his donors that the voting isn’t important because they’ll litigate the shit out of the election if they lose.
What’s important to understand is that Trump isn’t the one in charge. He’s a useful idiot.
Trump’s motivation isn’t Project 2025, or abortion bans, or anything at all for that matter. He has no principles. He agrees with the last person who spoke with him. That’s how his brain works. What Trump cares about is having the power to pardon himself and make all of his criminal charges go away.
So a bunch of fundies see an opportunity. THEY have an agenda. THEY have a plan. THEY tell Trump, WE WILL get you into power by hook or by crook. We’ll pay for your campaign because we know you’re broke. We’ll get our people in place everywhere we can. From a vote perspective, you’re going to lose this election…WE are your only chance to avoid prison and (potentially worse) no longer being useful to Putin and falling out a high window.
Trump is golfing not because he’s given up. But because a) he’s miserable and has no interest in being the president, but he has no choice if he wants to avoid prison. and b) He honestly believes he doesn’t need the votes because his “people” (who he’s stupid and egotistical enough to think that HE controls rather than the other way around) have it wrapped up for him.
With the Democrats sucking up all the media attention
This article is desperately trying to change that
Trump is really weak, old and tired. I prefer the younger, energetic Kamala rather than a whining, fat old man.
Younger. I wouldn’t mind taking another 20 years off the candidates next time, honestly, lol.
Shrug. Age is just a number.
Not when it comes to the notion of politicians making moves that will or won’t affect them in their own lifetimes. It’s easier/more tempting to kick the can down the road the older you are.
Let him go. Best place for him
Trump aides alarmed that Trump is ranting about crowd sizes.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump’s skin is orange.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump only cares about himself.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump is living in the past.
Trump aides alarmed that Trump is a convicted felon.
Like, who are these aides? Where were they the last 20 years?
These are probably new people who, like the old aides, can’t say anything honestly to anyone surrounding the campaign for fear of being fired, or outed (they’ve done this to their own people expect fanatic followers to do them harm). So these new folks realized this pretty quickly, and now just leak to the press like the entire old group of aides and confidants did. It’s pretty fucking pathetic.

It’s not relevant what Trump did last 20 years. It’s only relevant what Trump did during close campaigns in the last 20 years, which is maybe one year in total, or two years, depending how you measure.
Which is to say, just because most people would predict it, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about it and report on it now when it’s actually happening. Because Trump could have woken up. There was always a chance that at some level he realized that he doesn’t want to face what’s coming to him if he loses.
And then sell a book detailing all the crimes they could have done something about a year later when they quit the administration.
What a demented fool U R!
You are a brainwashed little lemming!
Orange man fukt
Just like he treated the presidency, especially during covid.
Hopefully age is catching up to him
Manifest.
Manifest.
Manifest.
What is this in reference to? I doubt it’s this hymn https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/241
There’s an idea on the internet that you can manifest certain things into reality by visualizing it really hard. Here it’s being used in a joking sense almost like trying to cast a hex on Trump.
Or the realization that consequences don’t have to be legal.
Awesome
Oh! I’ve seen this one! This is a classic!
Let me guess, he’s “growing increasingly isolated” yeah?
He is expecting a house contingency vote after his 70+ swing state sycophants deny Harris the 270 threshhold when he’s under by delaying to certify. that’s why he doesn’t care
You know this is true because he’s not really even asking his supporters to vote for him.
Trump’s greatest weakness is women. They always have been. He can’t talk too tough about them because this dude is a momma’s boy larping as a bully. His reaction to every woman who sued him has been lame and weak or nothing at all. Kamala was a slam dunk against this guy because they figured out his weakness and are exploiting it. Doesn’t mean you should sit back and not vote. VOTE and make it a huge landslide for funsies.
He was running against a woman in the only election he won.
His real weakness is having people be dismissive towards him. Harris’ message of “It’s the same disrespect as always, we’re moving on from that” and Walz’s message of “he’s a weirdo” is working great. Used to be he’d say something batshit insane, Democrats would be understandably outraged, Trump would dominate the news cycle, his base would see it as him “owning the libs.” Low information voters would only hear about Trump and hear nothing from the Dems other them talking about Trump and not show up on voting day.
I don’t quite agree with you because of Clinton. If I were picking your grade this weakness, I would say it’s his narcissism, which has also been his strength at various times in his life.
His advisors keep trying different approaches and new sales pitches. But the problem with Trump isn’t the marketing- they are selling an outdated, inferior and defective product.
