Honestly, I think Trump thought that he could win an election, the other elites would accept the will of the people and work with him. They were, after all, his former friends. What he found instead was that they turned on him - (R) and (D) alike - and set out to destroy his presidency and even his family. I don't think he truly understands how depraved these people are. They will do ANYTHING to protect their military/industrial grift....of which the "covid" response is a part.

I also think he still wants to win approval from them on some level. He is vain.

They wanted a "vaccine" and he delivered. So, he thinks he should get credit for compromising with them and helping them out. He doesn't realize he won't ever get credit from them; and the people who would be open to voting for him do not see it as something that deserves credit, but rather blame. IMO, they used him as the ultimate scapegoat for these drugs. Remember, they were against the "vaccines" until he was out of office. They had always planned to attack him over these drugs at some point.

He needs to move past 2020, realize his political enemies are mortal enemies, and drop the idea that anyone is going to "work with" him or "make deals" or even give him credit for anything. It's time for him to admit he was lied to by the gov't lifers and reframe his role in all this. It's the only thing that could cost him the election, especially as the truth begins to rapidly unfold now that Twitter is free and people are returning from summer brain-off mode.

Your reply and the comment that generated the reply make the most sense to me. DJT’s character defects + his strengths can be, have been, and will continue to be used against him.

While this may seem unrelated, I see it as part of the whole. The Duran had an interesting take in their recent review of the US credit rating downgrade, let’s see if I can do it justice: current administration is going to ramp up spending to avoid a recession before the 2024 election (“selection?”). However, conditions will be such that a recession is unavoidable by Q4 2024. If the Marxists/Communists win, they’ll shrug shoulders saying “we will deal with it”. If DJT wins, he gets all the blame, “See? The markets responded to the election of orange man negatively and look what happened!”
