"It's like he's choosing to lose": Trump allies fear he is self-destructing over Kamala Harris surge
"It's nuts," confidante tells Vanity Fair as Trump lashes out and pushes conspiracy theories.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
he's not chosing to lose, he is a one trick pony, and his trick doesn't work against his current opponent.
Yeah at first I thought maybe he wants out but his ego won't let him just step away from it like Biden did, so he's trying to ramp up the crazy shit to force the party to kick him out, that way he doesn't have to run but he can keep the grift going by saying he was betrayed etc.
Then I thought, he's not that smart. All he has is saying crazy shit, which seemed to befuddle Clinton and Biden but doesn't work on Harris, so all he can do is panic and say even crazier shit.
I don't think the party can kick him out at this point. He won the nomination and has all the votes. HE has to drop out.
The only way Trump drops out is if drops dead.
Even without the nomination, it might be personal political suicide for any individuals who press too hard about trying to get rid of him. Especially if they do it via outmaneuvering him in a way that gives him no choice. He'd bitch about it even if he really didn't want to continue running because a) why wouldn't he throw someone under the bus after they were done helping him get what he wanted and b) more donations if he continues to play it like he's a victim.
