    lol, I feel like my brain is going to explode if I try to wrap my head around the logic Trump is using to get to this conclusion.

        Okay, I did some stretches and I feel warmed up.

        My biggest complaint is that the answer to the question “So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting crooked Joe Biden?” is “no”.

        He wasn’t forced to fight Joe Biden. Instead of attacking Joe he could’ve focused on extolling his own virtues.

        I feel like reacting this way indicates that he doesn’t see himself as a candidate worthy of winning the election on his own merit.

            Yeah, but if the campaign was based on the belief that “Trump is the best candidate regardless of who he’s running against” there would never be a need to pivot based on the opponent changing.

            Which to me indicates Trump was viewing his 2024 campaign as a grudge match between himself and Biden as opposed to viewing it as a campaign to be elected president of the United States of America.

            Like, where’s the strength of conviction? The guy is flailing and it’s embarrassing.

              His campaign is a desperate attempt to get back that sweet sweet presidential immunity, plus all the perks he’ll get selling out the country for pennies on the dollar.

            This just came to me - you now need to run for president.

            400m lap before any presidential debate, speech or campaign announcements. If you do it in more than the country average you can’t respond and first back can start.

            Disabled candidates can follow paralympics rules.

      He spent so much effort attacking Joe Biden. Mostly because his entire campaign is centered around attacking Joe Biden, and not any real policies. Now that’s all in vain.

      He’s mostly thinking about himself.

          That’s good for the democrats. They don’t need to change direction of their campaign while the republicans must change their entire campaign now.

          It’s not good that the political climate has become like this, but the only way to defeat Trump is to get down to his level. If he’s not offering any real politics then why should the dems?

            If that isn’t a complete non sequitur then surely it argues in the other direction. Voters deserve to be treated with respect. The fact that Trump is disrespectful doesn’t excuse anyone else from actually doing the job.

              Seems like that job right now is beating a fascist candidate.
