Trump admits it: He's losing

Donald Trump knows he's losing.

The president has privately come to that grim realization in recent days, multiple people close to him told POLITICO, amid a mountain of bad polling and warnings from some of his staunchest allies that he's on course to be a one-term president.

...snip...

Behind the scenes, Trump and his team are taking steps to correct course. In the week since his Tulsa rally, the president has grudgingly conceded that he’s behind, according to three people who are familiar with his thinking. Trump, who vented for days about the event, is starting to take a more hands-on role in the campaign and has expressed openness to adding more people to the team. He has also held meetings recently focusing on his efforts in individual battleground states.

Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who effectively oversees the campaign from the White House, is expected to play an even more active role.

1. His crimes are now increasing with his lying,

While Republicans scared from being criminally exposed are shaking in their boots of becoming exposed with trumps criminal activities, and are saying or doing nothing for fear they are going down to , all of them involved. Justice will prevail , and they will regret what they've done as this nightmare soon ends when trump is ousted soon. He knows it too.

2. Jared in charge...

the "family" has only one playbook...hillary's email, Obama did or didn't do whatever...it's all Hunter's fault...liberals are evil....Trump never knew/no one told him/he wasn't briefed... playground bully-boy name calling/taunting..NDA's....

here's the thing...the only voice their deranged guy hears is the one in his head...and the rot in his head spews out of his mouth...Jared's in charge...perfect

[Canoe52]

8. Jared....

[Major Nikon]

9. They're REALLY fucked now

[brush]

28. Why does he keep putting Kushner in charge of everything?

What has he been in charge of that was a success?

Oh, wait. It must be the kickbacks he and trump get from Saudi Arabia for selling them arms.

[agingdem]

29. Jared is more of a "son" to Trump then his biological spawn

where his idiot sons are just that (idiots), Jared is slicker and more polished ..like trump he was raised by a corrupt father..both grew up rich and entitled..like Trump he is without conscience and empathy...and Jared entertains and encourages and benefits from Trump's sham business ventures.."screwing the little guy" is their motto...and because Trump has this thing for his daughter Ivanka, Jared is more than willing to keep his vapid wife where Trump can "see" her...they are the "poster boys" for The Dunning-Kruger Effect...both display cognitive dissonance and zero self awareness..heroes in their own minds..what the two of them find somewhat vexing is why the "unwashed" are unable to see their genius ...

[brush]

30. Good analysis. The Dunning-Kruger Effect is spot on.

[paleotn]

3. And this is before his latest treason came to light.

Oh, you think you're doing badly now, Donnie. Wait until cash for dead American troops gets cycled for a week or two. And I don't think this is the end of such revelations. I think this is just the start. A new political adage....never pick fights with the folks how know damn near everything, because it's their job to know damn everything...the IC. It's rumored recently that even the most tight lipped group this side of JSOC is starting to leak details of Trump crimes...the Secret Service.

4. When trump says 'anything' it is self-serving - ALWAYS

We won in 2016! I fear voter suppression AND electoral college could derail our 2020 majority.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. I'm not buying it

Trump facing reality? Trump being self-aware?

[Scarsdale]

6. Why would he admit his now?

He has been a loser his entire life. He keeps trying to convince others about how smart he is, and he fails. The only person, apart from himself of course, who is impressed with him is Putin. I'll bet even Putin never realized how easy it would be to take control of the USA without firing a shot, or sending a missile. I would wager that election night came as a shock to Putin as it did to the majority of us, since Hillary was much more qualified and WON the popular vote. The traitors in the gop do not care how dumb he is, they got what they wanted. Tax breaks for the wealthy, and the government agencies depleted and almost obsolete. Strange how the gop always promotes STUPID people to be their "leaders". Maybe tRump really is the cream of the gop crop.

[cheezmaka]

7. He sure waited a long time to face reality...

Now he decides he's needs to stop golfing and try to keep his job?

[CanonRay]

12. Except he's golfing while the cash for dead Americans story rages

[smb]

20. He Thinks It'll Just Go Away So He Doesn't Have To Deal With It...

...just like the coronavirus did....

[ProfessorGAC]

22. And, He's More "Hands On"?

So, hands on managing of the campaign includes golf at two different places, with the election 4 months & a week away.
I don't think PINO understands what hands on management means.

[Fla Dem]

10. Please, please please put Jared in charge.

Has he done anything we could call a success in the 3 1/2 years Trump has been in office?

[Marie Marie]

17. I think Donald and Jared should exclusively handle his campaign.

The two best men for the job.

[Lock him up.]

18. The "success" he had was to grift as much $$$ he could (and still can)...

... from the tax payers' credit card and the Saudi royals.

Lock em up!

[quaker bill]

11. history teaches that the polls do not move much

when the election is about re-electing an incumbent office holder. People have firm opinions about Donald Trump, 90+ percent have already decided. His re-election campaign was the last 3.5 years and he is underwater by 10 to 15 percent. If he does a bunch of stuff that he is not comfortable with, he might trim his deficit by a couple of percent, maybe enough to save a house or senate seat. Trump however is fully cooked.

[ArizonaLib]

16. Yes, remember, Nightline got its start with that America Held Hostage day count during 1980

Everyday the news outlets pounded the same narrative against Carter. It still pisses me off, never mind that the hostages would have been released well before the election if Reagan's campaign hadn't made a treasonous deal with Khomeini to hold them till Reagan's inauguration day.

[KentuckyWoman]

13. He may be may not be behind on election but either way... he's losing it.

Either he got fucked up in the head in his childhood or he just came to the planet twisted. Who knows which. Either way he's been a hot mess since day one on the public stage.

[marble falls]

14. Jared, eh? I wish he were triplets and all three were were on the "team". What a Potrzebie.

[Steelrolled]

15. IT'S A TRICK!

[IcyPeas]

19. Watch out for a Wag the Dog event. /nt

[BHDem53]

21. Losers gonna lose.

[Skittles]

23. THIS is why he cannot trash Putin about the bounties

TRUMP NEEDS HIS PUPPET MASTER.

[JoeOtterbein]

24. Actually not "breaking news" and a duplicate post to my post the night before:

[NNadir]

25. I really applaud the idea of putting Jared on the job.

Since he's taken care of establishing peace in the Mideast...

...and curing Covid-19...

...well, I think putting Jared in charge of re-electing his traitorous, corrupt father-in-law is a very, very, very good idea.

There's no one better at helping an spoiled child unintelligent and immoral ersatz President way out of his depth than a spoiled child slum lord also out of his depth.

Jared is very good at fucking things up, and like his dad, will do hard time in prison.

Of course, if Jared had a brain - clearly he doesn't, he's every bit as dumb as his wife - he would hire someone competent to run the campaign, because when they lose, they're all looking at jail time, including crime family consigliere, Uncle Billy Barr.

[yellowcanine]

26. "Jared Kushner ... is expected to play an even more active role."

Well alrighty then!

[question everything]

27. Interesting that we thought he would gloat about "winning" the impeachment
