Trump is in serious danger, and his own advisers know it
one aspect of Donald Trump’s presidency that continues to be under-appreciated:
the extraordinary lengths to which he and his propagandists regularly go
to mask his political weakness and record of profound failure.
Trump is failing on many fronts, and as a result, he and his advisers fear he’ll lose reelection.
Trump’s own advisers are aware that there are multiple flashing indicators right now that very well might put Trump’s reelection in serious doubt.
Among these:
Trump’s trade war with China will likely worsen;
his rewrite of the North American Free Trade Agreement might not pass Congress,
denying him a badly needed victory on a signature issue;
and the likelihood of a recession has increased.
the U.S. manufacturing sector just contracted by one very closely watched metric, and Trump’s trade wars are a key reason for that.
Trump’s own advisers are saying this.
Yet the unexciting explanation for much of what we’re seeing ... which too often still proceed
as if Trump has some sort of clever political trick up his sleeve.
note the deep folly of Trump claiming his “toughness” is in the process of working, after the colossal mess it has made so far.
implicit in Trump’s new posture is an admission of weakness.
it’s an acknowledgment that China actually does have an incentive not to make a deal with him — to make his reelection less likely.
China doesn’t have to play along with Trump’s alternate reality,
a place where Trump’s victory is certain and preordained, simply because he says it is.
more than 40 Trump tweets about China last month, and observes: “They veered wildly, almost day to day and hour to hour, on whether a deal or a whole new round of tariffs was imminent.”
There’s just no method to this.
A better explanation is that Trump has no idea what to do next
yet another underlying problem Trump faces:
Even a surprise detente with China on trade in the coming months ...may not be enough to reverse the sector’s decline.
“It’s not like Trump and the Chinese could shake hands tomorrow and everyone could go back to business as usual.”
his wild gyrating has already done its damage.
If the deal isn’t a good one, he’ll still pay a price for it, because
all that damage — which will continue — will show that it wasn’t worth it.
Trump probably fears he’s in serious danger, and he’s acting out more and more as a result.
Trump has a record of serious failure to defend,
and it very well might get worse from here.
Whether Trump knows this or not,
his advisers surely do.

He'll lie about anything. I wonder if his real government name is Donald Trump? SMH
Lying ass MFer
SMH
This MFer has no chill with his lies
Snakeboi thinks everything Trump does is trolling just like Koriwhat. Or maybe it's a collective Trump group think.
Kori also thinks Trump purposefully took down his own campaign site because libs would be triggered somehow.

He's just trying to get under your skin. You shouldn't let him.

Wow no shame
& the courts upheld his measures.
See, we know how to work that court system too, by God.
We're gonna run your asses into that ter, where our's have been since Reagan. Bush & his son were s, RINO s. Me? I spit on 'em. Fool me once, shame on Bush 1. Fool me twice, shame on Bush 2. I will not be fooled a 3rd time. The old man is the real deal. He enjoys the fight, the gettin' evens, makin' ya's show all your cards, all your tricks, all the you've kept hidden behind those curtains. It's all out in the open. He made ya's spill your guts, your beds, foul your underclothes, tell the truth by conducting your lies.
He's as close to a Messiah as there is.
Yeah, when you had no shame during the Hussein 8 year race baiting Presidency we had to take it like a trouper. Christ, we didn't know our savior was in our midst. I figured ax-handle ass Clinton was a shoe-in. I was gonna have to take it for another 8 years. No, by God, no!
Trump President.
Not Clinton.
Fake news. Your side let the white supremacists out of the asylum when the mulatto took office.
That bull he is pulling "as Commander in Thief" - stealing money appropriated for the military - hurts the military and ultimately their families. This ain't getting even - unless he mad with Uncle Sam for drafting him to 'nam - that the podiatrist (family acquaintance of Fred Trump) got him out of because of bone spurs he never had? That's why he's stealing from the military?
I thought Mexico was paying? Promises made (to his base), lies kept I guess. SMH
