The number of repulsive traits that he embodies is utterly mind-boggling. I can't think of anyone whose checklist is so extensive.

Of course, being who he is, he must have the biggest and bestest list of repulsive traits. He has bigger and better repulsive traits than anyone since Lincoln. Not many people know that.

I think there is something to the "too old" factor. I don't think Biden is crazy. But now that the octogenarian has stepped aside, the almost octogenarian is front and center. He is the one that looks old to everyone. Especially next to the vibrancy of Harris and Walz.

Trump OTOH has been crazy for a while. But as crazy as Trump has been there has been something calculated in his craziness. It appealed to many. But the impression I have now is that people are tired of him and the craziness that goes with him.

Trump fatigue has set in.

i agree that trump fatigue is a thing but he has gone especially off the rails lately. it seems like he’s having a mental breakdown

Ah, I see. Pity his big funders won't stop funding him causing him to have to back out. He's nothing without money, after all.

Not sure about Trump's campaign coffers right now. His big funders can definitely keep him in the race. Especially Musk.

In a way, Biden was ousted by his own party. He basically said so.

Party leaders made it clear to Biden that he couldn't win. His ability to raise money was diminishing. Democratic candidates stopped appearing at events with Biden. When some Congressional candidate doesn't show up for a Presidential rally in his district, the writing is on the wall.

The difference is day and night. Every Democratic candidate wants the visibility of introducing Harris and Biden at a rally in their state right now. They are raising money hand over fist.

If Trump was a normal human being, a loss of financial support could get him to step down. But there is nothing normal about the Donald. He's going to go on regardless. Probably as much out of self preservation than anything. He'll start hoarding donations from his campaign. Spending less on advertising and on holding rallies. He'll be looking to keep as much as possible for legal and personal expenses instead of trying to win the election.

But the more bleak it looks, the harder it will be to raise money. Especially if he's just going through the motions.
 
Trump will be tweeting a hundred "tweets" on Truth Social on election day.

I don't think he can win by getting GOP to disqualify one state. It will need to be several.

That would be quite abnormal. Presidential campaigns have had more lopsided results than what we're currently heading for, and those outcomes were known far ahead of time, without the losing candidate withdrawing. What normal candidates do when they know they're losing is stick around to the end and just go ahead & lose.

This is sad.

He claims it is a ‘confirmed’ fact that there was no crowd at Kamala’s Detroit event….an event of which there are many videos published by news orgs, and that it was all AI.

‘Confirmed’ he claims.

A sociopath lying to his simpleton followers

It was "confirmed" by a maintenance worker to be named later, apparently. Right along with the guy that assured him Obama's birth certificate was fake.

Yes, you're right. I didn't expect Biden to step aside.

Still, this is starting to get weird. Trump isn't campaigning. He's holed up in Florida tweeting
 
Don't forget Trump will be having a 'live conversation' on Twitter with Elon tonight at 8pm ET.

Apparently it's "completely unscripted with no limits on subject matter, so should be highly entertaining!"

according to Elon

As always "There's no logical way Trump can win, everything sane and logical about the world says it is impossible" is both 100% true AND countered by the fact that he won in the first place.

It doesn't make sense to anyone with a functioning brain, but whatever X-factor got Trump elected the first time is still there, whatever it is.

In a free and fair election, there's no way T****y wins. But in too many states the authoroties have modelled their elections on Russia.

'You're gonna lose this!' Trump fans rebel against him over 'A.I.' Harris rally claim
Click to expand...
I am sure there are some Trump supporters who are dissatisfied with the way he is running his campaign.

But, its hard to say how relevant it is, since:

- These people aren't saying "I don't think I can vote for Trump anymore", they seem to be saying "I hope you win you're just not campaigning very well"

- Trump has millions of MAGAchud supporters. At this point we don't know if these sorts of complaints are wide-spread, or its just a small vocal minority of Trumpers who just happen to be getting some attention

His own supporters are starting to lose patience.

I really didn't expect Trump to repost it. In the past he wouldn't. He would let the useful idiots do the job, without risking anything. He did that many times, worst case he said "people say ..". And social media are flooded with the airplane photo, he didn't really have the need. He's slipping, hopefully out of sight.
