What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

The Dems would have looked far weaker if they turned on their incumbent sitting President, considering a) the economy has grown during Biden's term, b) sitting Presidents always have a huge advantage going for re-election (Trump is one of the very few who failed to be re-elected), and c) the line from the GOP would have been that the Dems are showing they made a mistake supporting Biden for the last few years, why would you trust them now?

The only thing people can really point to Biden on is "He's older than he was 4 years ago". Yes, he moves slower than he did, looks more frail, and mixes up his words a bit more. That's not enough for the Dems to have pulled the ripcord on him for.

How'd ya like dem drug prices, economy, student debt forgiveness?

Why are you against drugs (like insulin) being affordable?

What is Trump doing to lure swing voters? From my (biased - I cannot abide the rapist) position, all I see is him whining about how unfair it is that the courts are after him, or that Joe Biden is old (like he is some spring chicken himself!)

I'm not as worried. Polls are no longer reliable. When was the last time polls were right?

Same with "I certainly would not be a fan of student loan forgiveness if I had paid my student loans in full or in part already, and others got theirs for free."

Which amounts to "I wouldn't be a fan of people not having to be in debt for decades if I had been in debt for decades"

The failure of previous governments to tackle the absurd cost and impact of student loans on people does not mean successive governments should enforce and protect that cost and impact on future generations.

Worked then, and would suffice for Trumpy as well

Yes ranting

“The radical left Democrats are at it again. They're constantly making up stories about me because their candidate is a mental and physical basket case. There's never been anything like it. He's also the worst president in the history of our country. He went on a very poorly rated show last night, and he talked about Donald Trump and his wife, I don't know the name of my wife.

He was referring to the fact that at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), where I had a sold out speech, the biggest audience they've had in years, I think maybe ever. I made the statement that Melania was very popular because when I mentioned her name, the audience went wild. I then looked at the two people, man and wife, Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, and I said, ‘Wow, they really like the first lady.’ So this got taken as the fact that I thought Mercedes was the first lady, has nothing to do with that.

These people are really dishonest. They are absolutely something. They have a horrible candidate who's a horrible president. They make up things constantly. You take a look at when I use Barack Hussein Obama and I interject him into where it's supposed to be Biden, and I do it purposely for comedic reasons and for sarcasm because a lot of people say that Obama's running the country, not Biden, because he's sleeping all the time. They say, ‘Oh, I don't know the name of the president.’ Or when I imitate this guy getting off a stage, what they do is they say, ‘Oh, he had trouble getting off a stage.’ I have no trouble getting off a stage. Anybody that watches what I do at rallies would say, ‘Wow, that's amazing. He can go two hours without a teleprompter, not making even a little mistake.’ Very few people, maybe almost nobody, can do what I do.

So here's the story. The disinformation of the Democrats is unbelievable. They do it because they have a horrible candidate.

“Don't associate me with the mental midget that you portray because I want to tell you, he should not be leading this country. And hopefully on November 5, he's not going to be. We're going to have a big election, we're going to have a big victory, and we're going to make America great again.”

Yes, its a rant. What possible reason is there for him to record a video, and post it, about a TV show and POTUS making some jokes?

He wasn't laughing about it, he is clearly p1ssed. And went out of his way to go on about that, and other non-related things.

Not sure what you think a rant is but it pretty much the definition of it. The fact that it is his normal mode is true enough, and should be telling you something about the man that claims to be a stable genius and wants to be taken seriously for the position of POTUS

That's a rant. Just because it's his normal delivery, means nothing. It just means he normally rants.

Trump's buttons are so easily pushed it's ridiculous. It's an absolutely glaring weakness. The Biden campaign needs a whole department that just thinks up ways to make Trump as angry as possible so as to maximise the possibility of independent voters voting against him.

Calling it normal delivery does not make it normal. He rants all the time, this was another one of them, a normal human would not rant like he does, but that is mainly due to his very sensitive ego and thin skin.

Fact check: no evidence that Trump "ACED" cognitive test

That should be alarming for Trump. He has picked up scant new voters. In addition to many Republicans coming knives-out for his presidency, many of whom pledging to vote against him for the sake of protecting the democratic processes, he can likely not expect to pull in the same number of votes as he did in 2020.

Exit polling is very different to a Times/Siena poll. And disapproval is not a lost vote:

Though some are content to 'throw your vote away'

"TLDR: voters are highly unenthusiastic about Biden."

This was also largely true in 2020. But again here, we're very enthusiastic about voting against Trump. And I said many times, I'd vote for an inanimate carbon rod before I vote for Trump (and yes, I've written that in on many a ballot in the past when nobody worthy was running)

There’s surely no way that Trump has won over any voters in the past 4 years!

If people weren’t mad enough to vote for him in 2020, then I can’t see how anyone else has since turned around and gone you know what; I didn’t vote for him last time around and I know that since then he’s started an insurrection, has been found to be a rapist, is facing 91 charges in the courts but I’m jumping on the Trump bandwagon.

I also think a lot of those polled are saying they would prefer Biden to be replaced. He is too old.

But when the election comes around they will have a simple choice. Biden or Trump.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that anyone will swap from voting Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024.
