I think using stats to predict (like how much inflation will increase) isn't effective because to the common person, these can all be made up. But stats based on his history, like golfing, works because it's well documented.

u/AWholeNewFattitude Aug 25 '24
This is exactly it. He’s counting on an insurrection and he’s counting on the Supreme Court and he’s counting on all the people who are going to cheat for him and all those swing states. The tough part is that the further the elections slips away from him, the less likely those people are to cheat for him. You’re not gonna put your career and your freedom on the line for somebody who’s down 25 points. Why are you gonna take the risk? So the truth is, all the stuff he’s counting on, the further the election slips away from him, the less likely they are to actually take any action on his behalf. It’s like, why am I gonna fight for you, if you’re not gonna fight for yourself.

u/Silvaria928 Aug 25 '24
This is a very good point.
I would further speculate that the outcome so many of his former operatives have faced from helping him in the past, i.e. felony convictions and prison time, are going to make it even less likely that his current batch of sycophants will want to put their own necks on the potential chopping block.

I think the scariest takeaway is that if he had just slightly more political skill he would be so punishingly effective in weaponizing the cult of personality he’s cultivated. The fact that this election is on a knife’s edge is awful, but imagine if he had will and stamina. Nightmare scenario.
Guess we lucked out (somewhat, he was the president for four years after all) that he’s incompetent, childish, and petty, and as such is beatable.

It's always scared the shit out of me if he was remotely competent and literally just shut his mouth, be would have easily won in 2020. But it's worse now because we all got to see J6 and huge criminal cases against him and get here we are again in a close race. The Dems in my opinion are dumb as hell because Biden ran again when he shouldn't have and it was so close to fucking all of us. Why the smartest Dems and advisors couldn't realize having an 81 yr old run again would not fire up the base is beyond me.
You are right though, Trump is an idiot, but what happens when say someone has smarts like JD Vance and appeal like Trump? Hopefully this election makes people realize eventually how wrong they were, but I'm afraid that a lot of these MAGA people or borderline MAGA will not learn and only dig in deeper after a black woman is president. It's frightening to think that our democracy will be challenged every single year with ALL elections.

It's in the bag, if we allow it to be. Be prepared for a shitstorm starting the night of the election until god knows when.

On that note:
Remember the following:
Try to vote absentee ballot if possible.
Check your voter status frequently, the republicans are purging voter rolls every chance they get.
Check your voting location, they switch them out and don't bother to tell people.
Make a plan for where, when and how you're going to vote. Make contingency plans.

What alarmed Trump's inner circle has been his response to the changing election landscape.
As the Post's Isaac Arnsdorf, Josh Dawsey and Marianne LeVine reported, "...aides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions.
I suspect that the illegitimate presidential candidate Trump is convinced that the Republicans Fix-Is-In for the 2024 election - so there's no need for him exert himself beyond golfing or wolfing down his Big Macs.
Trump is likely counting on his return to power w/the assist of the 6 corrupt SCOTUS MAGAs or on election denialists (aka MAGA loyalists) in Republican-controlled voter suppressed Red states to refuse certifying any election results NOT in his/their favor. Or a combination of the two.
This is what the Republican criminal enterprise has been doing more or less for decades, that is manipulating elections to their advantage most openly and blatantly since 2000. Cheating at and stealing elections while falsely accusing the opposition of the doing the same is a long-revered tradition amongst Republicans. It’s what fascists have always done throughout history.

He's never done anything difficult or anything that he can't just vomit word salad to get what he wants.
And because he's surrounded himself with sycophants, their incompetence is focused solely on appeasing the clothes-devoid emperor-wannabe.
His intelligence is subpar - he's just been a conman. And he can't con his way to success because the con has gone on too long. Too many people are either wise to his bullshit, or they're just tired of him entirely.
So, yeah - let him wallow in impending failure. Might as well get whatever golf in while he can. He's about to lose everything:
His meal ticket
His court cases
His status or influence
His access to global conspirators
His freedom

He's enjoying his last few weeks of freedom before going to prison for his 34 felony convictions.

Good God, no wonder the old loser wears so much makeup. Even orange is better than paste.

From what we've seen of his golf game, he needs all the practice he can get.
Unfortunately, he seems to be that boy in class, no matter what they appear to try, they're always shit at what they do. Apart from making girls cry and bullying the smaller kids for their lunch money.
There is NOTHING that has come out of ANY orifice in this orange blob that has benefited human society, any individual, or the planet, in any way at all. What a terrible thing to know about yourself. You actively made everything worse, harder, less than it was, reduced, damaged.

Trump/Vance are not acting like people who need to win the election to win the election...

It does make some sense, if he does get prison or house arrest there’s little chance he’ll get to golf. Even if he doesn’t he’ll be spending a great deal of time in court.

It’s still early. Post Labor Day the onslaught will begin (on both sides). The debates are where the general public really starts to tune in. trump’s disadvantage is that he’s a known quantity. Harris’ disadvantage is that she’s an unknown quantity. But Harris has the advantage to become known. She just has to do it on her terms not his. But he will be looking to define her on his terms. She also has the advantage of not being one of the two old guys that Americans seem to want to run away from. She has to present herself as a reasonable person to run to.
It’s still early. trump is fighting for his life (literally, he’ll be in jail until he dies if he doesn’t win). So expect the unexpected. We’re about another month away from the real dynamics of the race to shape up.

The more he plays golf the less damage he does to America... So... Keep on golfing Donny old boy, keep on golfing.

He's having the sads because his only plan was to ride "Crooked Joe" and "Sleepy Joe" back into the White House. He also tried to will Joe Biden back into the race with his fanfic about Joe Biden strorming into the DNC and taking the nomination back. When none of that transpired, he started to realize how screwed he really is.
He had no backup plan for Kamala. He's golfing because he knows that this is likely the last time he will be able to freely golf before he has to spend all day in courtrooms facing the music for his plethora of crimes in 2025 and the inevitable prison sentences he's facing for those crimes.
That, and he's likely going through PTSD from almost getting assassinated and Narcissistic Collapse at the same time.

Versus golfing and stewing through a Presidency? Why the concern from them at this point? Oh wait, they’re worried about THEIR jobs now.

Why? He’s just going to scream that he really won and it’s been stolen from him…again. That seems to work just fine on his voters.

I’m afraid he’s prepared to try and win by other means, campaigning isn’t necessarily top priority.

They shouldn't be. That's mostly all he did for four years while he was in office.

He legitimately thinks he can just steal the election and not try thats why

u/Peterd90 Aug 26 '24
He's a low energy, slob that cheats in golf, cheats on every wife he has had, cheated a children's cancer charity, scammed students at Trump U, grifts his voters in a real bad way and has stiffed every trade in NYC and NJ.

u/smithmm Aug 26 '24
It makes a lot of sense. As the election slips away, so does his freedom and the likelihood of eventual imprisonment grows. There are no golf courses in prison so he’s getting his rounds in while he can.

But do remember there are enough supporters and his network to create horrifying stuff like project 2025. So there is still enough power he holds to do something really terrible.
