This may very well signal the beginning of the end...

4 months in this political environment is an absolute eternity. Remember that letter that came about the Hillary Email case being reopened by NY FBI right before the election? Yeah. Remember Hillary fainting at 9-11 memorial? Imagine that, but we have 4 months of time for a bunch of those to happen.

Again I’ll believe he’ll pull a Rob Ford (former crack smoking Toronto mayor) and used his cancer diagnosis to pull out of his re-election race when polls showed him trailing. Better to pull out by contracting Covid than losing in a 50 state sweep in November.

Video says it all... a dejected, tired looking Trump returns to his bunker in the White House.

Kinda looks like it, must admit. But once burned twice shy. I won't be happy until the election is decided to the effect that Trump's gonna be out of the White House come Jan. 21, 2021.

I think the best way to understand Trump is to view him as a master egotist. His way of dealing with the extreme feelings of worthlessness his sick father inculcated into him was to conquer shame by being as good or better than his father at being shameless. He went down the road of the narcissist by being proud of his illness with all the need for reinforcement and affirmation that path requires to maintain that wall of pretense. Thus and thereby do walls of separation between his fictitious good and imaginary evil become of primary importance.

But the child that was destroyed by shaming and putdowns of guilt, while it can be buried deeply, never ceases to exert its longing for the real self love that was lost and should have been nurtured. It longs to awaken but is afraid to feel that old pain. Instead is acts as an agent of unconscious self destruction, seeking to manufacture in the world vicariously the shame it refuses to feel. The aim of the narcissist is to push egotism to such an extreme that it breaks. Unconsciously Trump seeks his own self destruction. But because of the depth of his sickness the disaster he seeks will have to be pretty catastrophic and undeniable. His rejection or his feeling such, in my opinion, could be dangerous for the rest of us. He may seek company going over the cliff.

Lincoln Project meme warfare is strong...
Effin hilarious, but it's not going to sway any of the trumptards of course... As funny as stuff like this is, sadly it's just self-fellatio for the libs, and more fuel for the reichwingers' "we're being discriminated against by fake news MSM" raging dumpster fire persecution complex.

True. Any republicans on the fence has already decided shortly after the election. No need to get anymore evidence of his incompetence.

Like all the MAGA bull crap or Joe Scarborough is a Murderer!
They both have messages that appeal to people. Both are childish but per 2016 that is what is voters want.

You know all you haters need to understand --
I agree with Donald Trump. Just take a look at Donald, a dedicated family man, with 5 well balanced children, married since 1977. A business man of highest caliber and integrity, not a blemish on an astounding record. A true American patriot who was extremely sadden he couldn't serve in the military because of bad feet. Mild mannered and soft spoken and seldom, if ever, speaks ill of anyone. Moral character above reproach. Hardworking, seldom taking time out for a round of golf or a sport event. 6'5", 200 lbs, of pure health, a true leader. Sign me "Joe Republican" --- ahahahahaaaa OMG I couldn`t resist posting this......hahahaaaa

Bill Kristol tweet reflects my own thinking -

You look at the polls and think "he can't win." But Trump's path to victory doesn't depend on persuading Americans. It depends on voter suppression, mass disinformation, foreign interference, and unabashed use of executive branch power to shape events, and perceptions, this fall.

This shitshow going full banana republic, would not surprise anyone at this point.
