One month ago, former President Donald Trump seemed poised to retake the White House from an ailing President Joe Biden. Now that he’s falling behind Vice President Kamala Harris, people close to Trump’s campaign are complaining to Vanity Fair that the GOP nominee is only making matters worse. “It’s like he’s choosing to lose,” one of them vented.
Why the fuck would people close to Diaper Dump Trump talk to the press about this?
They want to give you a false sense of security.
Vote like your world depends on it.
I know it sounds alarmist and overblown… but Democracy itself literally depends on all of us voting.
Because he is, in fact, a loser.
Is he acting weirder than normal? I honestly can’t tell the difference.
Yeah, I’ve really been surprised by the amount of negative press on Trump. He seems like himself to me.
The contrast with a fully functioning non-geriatric campaign really brings to light just how shitty Trump is. Not that it wasn’t obvious before but I guess louder for those in the back?
along these lines people are saying his incoherence indicates dementia - I dunno, since the first moment I ever heard of trump to 2016 to today - he’s just fucking dumb. He’s dumber than a bag of hammers. A box of rocks has more nuance, and a bag of shit more character, but most of all, he’s just an idiot who’s coasted through life on daddy’s money and a toolbox of racism and contractor fuckin.
And I’m still astounded at the people he took in. Fuck, he’s just so fucking dumb.
If I was less acceptably sane, I might think there was some sort of coordinated effort by the real Powers That Be to ensure that he does not become the next president, potentially starting with the assassination attempt, then moving to plan B by pushing Biden out so Harris takes over, and now funneling loads of positive media attention towards Harris and negative attention towards Trump when he is essentially behaving the same as he always has.
Of course, like I said, I’m too sane to believe that…right?
He’s planning on stealing the election anyway through his acolytes in congress and various state governments, so he sees no point in spending campaign funds that he can use on himself later.
Votes are the only thing that’s gonna make him lose, and we’re gonna need enough votes that something like that couldn’t be remotely feasible. I’m hoping no one reads all these articles and thinks there’s no reason for them to vote because it’s already looking like a slam dunk because it’s absolutely not gonna be a slam dunk
The only way that would be possible would be if he was close and was able to swing a few key counties with fake electors. If he fumbles the bid bad enough that it’s a landslide, there’s no way he’ll be able to get enough fake electors in place to do any damage.
He’s not the president so he can’t even rely on people storming the capitol, cause Biden would just send in the troops the second there was a threat.
Also, with Harris as the VP, she’ll have no problem certifying herself.
Many of us thought he was trying to lose in 2016, too. Garrison’s character beautifully depicted the phenomenon.
