Trump's Low Energy Campaign

Trump has been noticeably low energy this election cycle, and I have ideas why that is.

I am actually reminded of the 1992 election and George Bush's lackadaisical campaign. I pondered at the time that his heart wasn't really in it. I don't think it hurt his feelings that he lost.

It looks like Trump's heart really isn't in this race, either.

1. Trump knows he is at the end of his life. He can feel it. And he has to wonder, like Biden did, if he really wants to spend his final years dealing with all the hassles and pressures of the presidency. If he loses, that's more time on the golf course and more time with porn stars (Amber Rose?)

2. Probably the chief reason Trump ran again was because of the three remaining indictments. He wanted to be able to kill them by firing all the prosecutors. But now, the Supremes he appointed just gave him immunity for his crimes, so the pressure is off. He is not entirely free from prosecution, but enough such that his lawyers can negotiate jail-free terms with the prosecutors who are now unsure what can move forward and what can't.

3. Truth Social is a total dud. I believe Trump always knew it would be, but he was able to scam enough rubes to bag a couple billion dollars when the six month lockout is over, which is in a couple/few weeks. Trump can walk away from all this whole again.

4. In his heart of hearts, Trump has always been a far left New York Democrat limousine liberal. He supported abortion all the way up to birth, and when he suddenly became a Republican, he initially fumbled questions about his pro-life beliefs because it took him a while to figure out how to fake being pro-life. And now he has triangulated and said he supports abortion up to 15 weeks. So he's back to being pro-abortion.

Trump has always supported universal (single-payer) health care, and he has never repudiated that stance, even while he was claiming he had a replacement for Obamacare. I think his "replacement" was UHC, but he didn't know how to break it to the cult.

Trump spent like a Democrat. He submitted the largest government spending budget in history, and demanded more stimulus money than even the Democrats wanted. His tax break was a sop that someone pretending to be a Republican would do.

The wall is a gimmick and nothing more. A MacGuffin which was going to solve all of America's problems. Trump knows damned well there will never be concentration camps for illegals.

5. The one thing Trump will miss if he loses is the constant attention. He craves the spotlight and fades without it. And he is not getting all the attention he used to get any more.

The lack of attention is rapidly aging Trump.

So he's going to keep swinging, but he is going to be saying some really outrageous things to get that spotlight back.

Just my two cents about what I think is going on with Trump.

It only appears that all that is right, on account of the hugely successful Dem convention. The shine will quickly fade from that and the new polls will tell the story.

If it is convincingly positive for Kamala as is expected, the evidence will show in Trump's manner. He's incapable of hiding disappointment.

However, Trump has always had other ways of winning, other than the ballot boxes. It's just a question on which side can cheat the most effectively.

And then the question on whether the military will uphold the apparent winner.

"He's still talking": Host jokes after Fox News cuts off Trump's rambling phone call


Fox News anchors cut off former President Donald Trump's rant on Thursday after he called in to the network following Vice President Kamala Harris' Democratic National Convention speech.

The GOP candidate immediately called the network after Harris’ acceptance speech for what turned into a 10-minute long, one-sided, conversation with hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

While Baier and MacCallum struggled to interject, Trump carried on talking about immigrants “from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums;” his polling success over Harris with people of color, voters, or simply women who “want safety;” and the auto workers in Michigan who support him.

MacCallum noted Harris' rise among voters of color. “She’s having some success in that, at this point. What are you going to do — what’s your strategy to rebuild the momentum that you had with those voters?” she asked.

“No, she’s not having success. I’m having success. I’m doing great with the Hispanic voters. I’m doing great with Black men. I’m doing great with women, because women want safety," Trump replied.

“No, it’s only in your eyes that they have that, Martha,” he added. “We’re doing very well in the polls.”

You must be SO excited to vote for the most pro-abortion administration in history!

For possibly the first time in history, the Republican nominee had no bump in the polls after the Republican convention. That's how low the energy level is.

We'll see what kind of bump the Democratic nominee gets from the Democratic convention.

Has he ever responded to these, or is he dropping your accusations down the memory hole?

He's too chickenshit. But I'm going to keep pointing out that a guy with a "pro-life" tag in his signature is enthusiastically supporting the most pro-abortion administration in history.

You're right that its the adoration that he craves. Not that much different from owning a casino and having the big hitters giving him praise. And you're right that he got ZERO bounce. He just had to go to the Black journalists and spew.

And now he's losing numbers from the independents who crossed to Biden in 20 and were crossing back to him in 24.

From the perspective of the popular vote along, it appears to me that it's going to be a landslide for Kamala of proportions that America has never seen before.

But that is fare from the only perspective to consider!

I always have to add that I favour Trump, due to the chance that he could save the word from nuclear war.

Get off the computer, Donald! There's only one in the memory care facility where you live, and I think there's ice cream in the cafeteria for you today.

The race is going to be very tight.

And no one will ever exceed Reagan's landslide in 1984.

As for nuclear war, Trump would bring us much closer to nuclear war because of his limp-wristed, isolationist, commie-loving appeasement toward Putin.

Reagan's motto was Peace Through Strength, and that brought down the USSR.
