Trump is running scared

[The Barbarian]

Somehow, it was just two weeks ago that Donald Trump headed into the Republican National Convention looking like a juggernaut. That all feels like a long time ago. As his campaign enters its final three months, Trump looks like a man off balance. His polling lead has evaporated, his campaign strategy is obsolete, and he’s flaunting his most offensive tendencies.

“I want to be nice,” Trump said Saturday at a rally in Minnesota. “They all say, I think he’s changed. I think he’s changed since two weeks ago. Something affected him. No, I haven’t changed—maybe I’ve gotten worse, actually.”

Trump Is Suddenly Running Scared

From the beginning, the campaign was going his way. Not anymore.

He's lost his swagger, and his "mean girl" act backfired on him when he went after Harris for being black.

And Vance seems in retrospect to have been an impulsive mistake.

And there isn't much time to fix things.

And there isn't much time to fix things.

Pre-debate he had a solid 50-50 shot
Post debate he had an almost certain win
Then Biden did the one thing Trump could never do...
He made the right choice by withdrawing for the good of the country

And now Mr. Trumpy...
...Now, you are in trouble, serious trouble.
Because, this one's a fight to the death
All those trial cases, postponed till after the election
When you thought you could pardon yourself...

...That only happens if you win

That's cold sweat you are feeling, I imagine
Your Reality Checks are bouncing
Full of your sound and fury
As the walls close in.

What Trump does not change - the fact that Democrats have ruined this country by embracing the more taxes, bigger government, Leftist socialist, progressive agendas, and WOKE ideologies.
Most Conservatives do not vote because of a person, but because of policies. Conservatives want smaller Government, less spending, less bureaucracy, lower taxes, school choice, border control, pro business, freedom of speech, second amendment rights, freedom of enterprise, etc. And in light of progressive ideologies: less socialism, less abortion, less sexualization of children, less releasing of criminals, less lenient attitude towards crime and fines, less vilifying police, less vilifying everyone as a racist, Nazi, or colonialist in the name of DEI and CRT etc.

So go ahead a think were offended by Trump using his own money to pay a hooker, allwhile Democrats like Biden and Hillary were taking in millions of dollars from enemy super powers, you see the difference?

Not sure you were around when Democrats left the border open, shut down the country for two years, spent 3 trillion dollars to pay for it, ignored riots and protests that shut down small business, stores, restaurants and spawned mob crime across the country, and invited homeless camps to take over hundreds of cities and towns...

We dont vote because we do, or dont like, someones orange hair, we vote because we dont want Democrats to continuing ruining everything.

The country was shut down in 2020 - and Trump was president.

The protests on 2020 unfortunately were used by anarchists and gangs to loot. Who was president? Trump..

Trump authorized $1.5 billon to Moderna in Aug. 2020, which was good. Astro Seneca got over 1 billion. Pfizer got money. That was all to study the germ and develop a vaccine. $11 billion was spent by the Trump HHS to develop Covid testing. It had to be.

Yes, the Biden administration paid millions to get the vaccine distributed. The Biden administration did a lot of good things, like:

Two strongest years of job growth in history
Nearly 11 million jobs created since 2021
Taken over 100 actions to lower household energy costs by $100 per year
750,000 new manufacturing jobs
3.5% unemployment rate — the lowest in 50 years
Fully vaccinated 79% of American adults against COVID-19Millions of Americans are saving $800 per year on health insurance coverage
The Infrastructure Act
Family net worth has increased.
Chips and Sciences act
Expansion of Benefits for Veterans
Strengthened NATO
Inflation Reduction Act

That is just a part of it. The US economy is the envy of the world.

Maybe God is going to tank the markets for Trump? A new war anyone? Lots can happen before November.

I don't think God is responsible for making the economic recovery so much stronger than in other nations. The existing wars don't seem to be much of a problem for Harris. But one can hope; maybe things will go south before November.

Plus Harris is in her honeymoon stage. Her friends calling out white women and more examples are sure to follow.

It's a straw to grasp at, isn't it?

Harris has brought some of those voters back into the fold. In the New York Times/Siena poll, for example, she is running stronger than Biden has all year among young voters and voters of color while mostly keeping pace with Biden among older and white voters, where his numbers had been more durable.

The question is whether Harris can keep the momentum going. It's not quite a panic among republicans, but (for example) all the flak Trump is getting from republicans over Vance suggests fear is growing.

Republicans are already souring on JD Vance​

“I’m a little surprised they didn’t vet him as thoroughly as they should have,” said one GOP strategist.

"The country was shut down in 2020 - and Trump was president" (Freeinchrist)
Conservatives and Trump were against shutting down stores schools business then, just as they still are, it was the Democrats and states that shut down our country. Like I said seems you werent around...

CNBC Published on Mon, Aug 3 2020:
President Donald Trump insisted Monday that shutting down the United States in an attempt to curb the coronavirus would cause more harm than good, doubling down on previous comments that he would not call for a nationwide lockdown. “It’s important for all Americans to recognize that a permanent lockdown is not a viable path forward producing the result that you want or certainly not a viable path forward and would ultimately inflict more harm than it would prevent,” Trump said during a White House briefing on the virus. He said the U.S. only initially shut down to prevent the overflow of hospitals and to allow U.S. health officials and scientists to learn more about the new virus, including developing effective treatments to fight it. He said the U.S. is doing “really well” on developing coronavirus drugs and vaccines. “Lockdowns do not prevent infection in the future. They just don’t. It comes back many times, it comes back,” Trump said.

Your blaming Trump?? All the protesting was primarily 'anti' trump and 'anti' police, and 'anti' capitalism. These were AntiTrump idealists protesting for BLM and Antifa! There were over 4000 riots, hundreds of cities across America suffered intense damage from these 'peaceful' protests. Some protests occupied cities and places for over 18 months, think Chaz and Chop.. so where have you been??

Conservatives and Trump were all against the senseless rioting and looting, yet Democrats voted to defund police, limit intervention, even denied trump of sending in specialized federal help. The popular media was virtually silent about it all because the protestors were leftist socialist idealists protesting in the name of BLM, Antifa, and antiTrump. Obviously they were full of antiAmerica anarchists like we Conservatives all knew, but Democrats and the media loved, ignored and sometimes defended all the protesting because they knew the protestors were anti Trump.
Why would VP Harris say during the height of the rioting: "The Nationwide Protests Are A Movement. They're Not Going To Stop"
Why would VP Harris want the protests to go on, if they werent anti-Trump and anti-Conservatives?? Bcse Trump wanted them to go on?

'Colbert observed that reporting on protests happening in major cities across the country appeared to be dwindling, to which Harris responded: "That's right. But they're not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I'm telling you. "They're not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they're not gonna stop," she continued. "They're not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they're not gonna stop after Election Day. "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert June 17 2020"

backfired on him when he went after Harris for being black

Harris is black? If they could get Obama elected then maybe they can get her elected. It would be interesting if after all the women he has abused they finally settle the score and they always well balance the scales of Justice.

 

[The Barbarian]

Harris is black?

Half African descent. So yes.

If they could get Obama elected then maybe they can get her elected.

Seems that there are fewer American racists than Trump thinks.

It would be interesting if after all the women he has abused they finally settle the score and they always well balance the scales of Justice.

Well, two public humiliations in court, and many millions of dollars was a score of sorts. Trump hates both being proven wrong and losing money.

 

[Ace777]

My son considers himself Filipino but no one has ever guessed he is asian.

Seems that there are fewer American racists than Trump thinks.

That is the best thing about Black people. They hate racism and they make sure there is no racism in them.

Well, two public humiliations in court,

He should count his blessing that he did not pay for his transgressions with his health.

Running scared? People thought he'd chicken out when the time came to debate Biden. Once that was over, it was Biden who ran scared and quit. Trump is still running for president.

 

[ozso]

I've read "Trump is running scared" umpteen times over the years in various forums. He's shaking in his boots. It's all falling apart around him.

 

[The Barbarian]

Harris almost immediately led Trump to foolishly go after her for being black. Even most conservatives are offended by that kind of behavior.

When he's shook, he strikes out without considering the consequences.

Most everyone took note of her sudden transformation into southern/ghetto. What's next? An afro or cornrows? Choosing Lil Wayne as her running mate?

Thank you for the chuckle, every time I see this thread title pop up.
Trump is NEVER running scared.
He just don't do scared, and he sure don't do running.

Look at him cower:

 

[ozso]

Well he's set the date to debate Harris for September 4th in PA.

Whoever said he's too scared to ever debate her, step forward and eat crow. Y'all should have seen it coming a mile away.

 

[ReesePiece23]

I wouldn't write him off just yet, he's already made it this far.

He might just want to manage his impulsivity though. And to disregard the good that the Biden administration did is a mistake, because the proof is there for all to see.

Was Biden stellar? Probably not, but he was a decent president. It doesn't look good on Trump to continuously bash him.

 

[Ace777]

good that the Biden administration did

What "good" did they do? It could not be women's rights because they gave Afghanistan and Pakistan back to the Taliban. Afghan Women Accuse Taliban Of Torture And Extortion Amid Dress Code Crackdown

As part of the United States–Taliban deal, the Trump administration agreed to an initial reduction of US forces from 13,000 to 8,600 troops by July 2020, followed by a complete withdrawal by 1 May 2021..

The Taliban did not kill any Americans but they killed a lot of Afgans. So they were not keeping their part of the deal. Negotiations fell apart under Biden and you point out that Biden himself made some wrong decisions that Trump would not have made. Biden did save american lives but he put women and women's rights on the chopping block.

"Years have gone by, generations passed, but nothing has changed for women in Afghanistan, who continue to face atrocities under the Taliban. Yet another evidence of barbarity against women surfaced from the languishing country as a video showing brutal flogging of women went viral on social media."

WARNING this link shows the abuse women are suffering under the Taliban. women-publicly-flogged-for-venturing-out-without-male-companion. This was never a part of Trumps deal with the Taliban. This all happened after Biden took over. So Trumps abuse of women makes Bidens abuse look a lot worse.
