I'm A Bit Disappointed In Trump

It would be even more helpful if I could read the article without subscribing.

I'll add some of his analysis:

Instead of working hard to convince voters Harris is unfit for the top job, the Trump campaign has wasted too much time on two things: stupid stuff and bad stuff.

First, the stupid. On Saturday, Trump posted a video on Truth Social, hawking silver “Trump Coins.” (This “true symbol of American greatness” can be yours for just $100.) Last week he paid a visit to a bar in Greenwich Village, where he bought a burger with cryptocurrency (all part of a Trumpworld crypto push). None of this screams “I am laser-focused on delivering victory in November.”

Second, the bad. Hanging out with nutso racist troll Laura Loomer. Preemptively blaming the Jews if he loses in November. Indulging an unproven, sinister fantasy about pet-eating Haitian migrants in Ohio. Greenlighting J.D. Vance’s onstage appearance with Tucker Carlson last Saturday—just weeks after Carlson interviewed a Nazi apologist who he called the “best and most honest popular historian working in the United States today.”

All of this—the stupid and the bad—hurts Trump’s reelection chances. (Though at least the Trump campaign was smart enough to snub Mark Robinson from a recent North Carolina rally after reports revealed the gubernatorial candidate calls himself a “black Nazi” on porn websites.)

All of this is to say: We are a long way from Butler, Pennsylvania. In the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt, people around the former president described him as a changed man. Trump said he had ripped up his planned speech for the RNC in place of a new address emphasizing unity. He had the chance to do more than that: to rise above partisanship and lawfare and political violence and occupy the center ground of American politics with a pitch focused on the economy and immigration, all while hammering Harris for her radical past positions and the fact she was likely part of the Biden cover-up, pretending he was competent enough to run for reelection.

That’s a compelling pitch for the normie voters who decide elections. It’s one Trump was well-positioned to make. But he has so far proven himself either unwilling or unable to do so. And now here he is: stuck in a coin-flip race he should be winning by a mile.

Well why couldn't they work for him since the government apparently wants him dead too.

He could hire private security and probably has.

Don't put too much credit in the validity of this though, it is a Daily Beast story that references a NYT story.

Don't trust Democrat polling.

Well right now you got one of two options. Hold your nose and vote for Trump or destroy America completely.

I've been quite clear I am voting for Trump.

But his campaign has been a disaster. Why does he feel the need to make this close when it does not have to be.

I don't know but I'm currently a whole lot concerned about what the democrats are going to do if he doesn't win than all that petty stuff that he was talking about.

That is the point.

If he'd shut up and nail her to the wall with all of the OBVIOUS issues that are out there.......he'd win in a landslide.

Instead it's the petty stuff that is costing him.

He shouldn't have to quit golfing at his own golf course, that's just letting the left win. He should fire secret service members not doing their jobs and hire a much better and stronger security team. I guess that he's just doing what he believes is best though.

Donald Trump Is Quitting Golf on His Own Courses

The former president’s favorite pastime looks a little riskier after recent events.

Meh.

Let's explain this to you...

Trump woke up on Sunday morning and just then decided to play golf... SS had no chance to sweep the course... Problem is that this type of behaviour is highly predictable but not planned. Trump gave no notice, they had agents on hand to cover him staying at Maralargo and maybe got out for dinner.

Trump could have said earlier that he was planning to play golf and they could have swept the course and had the right number of agents available. Trump has the highest level of protection.

Trump is welcome to hire his own team and pay them. Trump might be a bit cheap to do that..

 

[Rawley]

Two Republicans were incited by a Communist, Socialist Liberal? Sad!

Yeah Go with that. LOL

 

[Rawley]

Oh my fucking god. Are you people sniffing glue 24/7?

Better than being an obnoxious ignorant partisan asshole 27/7/365

 

[CowboyTed]

Because loons are trying to kill him, incited by the Harris campaign.

Nope...

No proof of that, this shooter was a disgruntled former Trump Voter...

The two shooters so far either voted for him or had deep conservative views...

The MAGA can't seem to get it... The people taking shots at him are people Trump upset...

He definitely should hire reliable 'private' protection!
Or even better, stay out of public view or stay behind bullet proof Lexan.

He's threatening America's war against Russia, and that's equal to another attempted coup in damage that could be done!

 

[Road Runner]

I don't think that it's going to cost him the election though.

Yeah, I don't believe all of that bullshit. The potential shooter wouldn't have just gotten that lucky.

Excuse me?

 

[Grogu]

He does need to focus more on the issues. If he does that, he will win.

Take for example, Pennsylvania. There are many hard working, blue collar types in that state. He can win that state (I think Michigan and Wisconsin are already a lost cause for him), in my opinion, by luring those independent types with positive and productive rhetoric.

It's not too late for him to take Pennsylvania. AND if he does that, he wins.

LOL Sure

And who is feeding you this bullshit?

The MAGA can't seem to get it... The people taking shots at him are people Trump upset...

Yup, loons from your cult incited by your cult.

Just this week after two assignation attempts, Harris surrogate and Biden cabinet member is telling your cult "It's just another lie. How did we get here? Let’s extinguish him for good"

Good God. WTF is it with your party? You're not even hiding it any more.

 

[MisterBeale]

Why do you people still trust every fucking word that comes out of his mouth?

For the same reason the other side bleevs w/e Kalamala is saying when it is expedient for her?

 

[Mr Natural]

I agree. Why doesn’t he?

Why spend a lot of money on a private security team when you can sponge off the government for free?

 

[Donald H]

For the same reason the other side bleevs w/e Kalamala is saying when it is expedient for her?

Be prepared for Kamawla winning just in case! They're going to cheat a lot.
