He's giving up on the voters. He thinks he can win by other means.
He might just be running out of juice. Win or lose, Trump used to love those rallies. He was doing rallies even after the campaign ended because he just ate up all that attention and acclaim. If he's not doing them anymore, its not because he's got some insidious backup plan. It's because he doesn't feel like they're fun anymore.
That's exactly it. They don't fuel his narcissism anymore so he doesn't want to bother.
I suspect getting shot had something to do with it.
But us, rallies aren't his narcissistic supply any more. Now they're a source of fear and dread.
He has an insidious backup plan

That's not the backup plan; that's the primary plan.
Maybe the multiple assassination attempts are getting to him.
False flag! 8D ~~Cheese~~ Chess! Yadda yadda yadda!
The truth of the matter can be much simpler - the peak of the wave has passed, third campaign of the same shit have many republican-leaning voters fatigued and numb.
Do NOT get me wrong here. It's still a clear and present danger, both internal and foreign powers who wish governmental chaos/weakness upon the United States are pumping resources into the campaign, every truly patriotic and intelligent American still has GO AND VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER.
He seems tired, low energy, very beta
And batshit crazy weird. Let's not forget that
Oh, I don't think anyone has forgotten that TRUMP IS WEIRD. To me, it seems quite obvious that TRUMP IS WEIRD. I think anyone would agree if you told them that TRUMP IS WEIRD. It would probably break his little ego to see millions of people online typing in all caps that TRUMP IS WEIRD repeatedly.
Weird is an understatement. Isn't it fair to say at this point that he's probably a child molester? I mean, there were tons of photos with him and epstein, he wanted to release all the secret government documents except for the epstein files, there's tons of photos with and p diddy and he's made really weird comments about his daughter. Seems like he's an official guest of the diddy party.
Don't you think he looks tired?
He has concepts of rallies.
Aren't the cities making Trump pay up front for rallies now after what happened last time?
I know a few arenas have demanded large deposits. No idea if that's normal behavior for said arenas.
I'm sure there's a certain amount of dark money donating, wherein Trump gets to host a rally at a site owned by a political ally and put it on a tab he never intends to pay back. The ally gets to write the expense off as a loss and claim a tax credit. And everyone gets what they want.
But staff stiffing venues and vendors for the bills is also common enough in professional politics that they're already known as bad business partners. Bigger outfits know to demand cash upfront regardless of who they're working with.
Haha Sleepy Dom, Dementia Don. He is so old, they have to carry him around. He has the best diaper, let me tell you. So good, the best, no one may change it. Reeky Don, big smell, everybody talks about the smell!
Nobody poops like me, let me tell you, the load is yuge, biggest loads in history. Accordion hands throughout
Where are the 2020 bars?
(Yeah I know it was Covid and thus not comparable; I want to see anyway. Put an asterisk next to it if it makes you feel better.)
He did say nobody needs to vote for him.
He also said he won the popular vote in California
And that he has a beautiful healthcare plan.
A concept of a plan.
They are not planning or even care if they get the most votes... They're going to scam it. Most likely with a Contingent Election.... Which is why they are screwing with the electoral system... To allo them to trigger a Contingent election... And simply have the House... Choose one
Guess who controls the house?
Guess who controls the house?
That's a toss up. And if the Dems lose the House again, they likely lost the presidency as well.
And they say assassinations attempts don't work.
Why is this a shit post?
All the Lie-agra in the world can't get this sad man's crowd sizes up any more.
what about 2020?
COVID skewed the stats.
wait, he really did ~24 rallies from November 1-8 2016? would also like to see 2020 included in here.
He probably did rallies after the election because he's just that much of an egomaniac.
Oh, yes. He started campaigning for 2020 immediately.
entirely appropriate that the bar graph colors are orange and blood red
He's saving his energy for what he expects will be a win, he's got a lot of powerful supporters and they'll be using every trick in the book in the coming weeks. I'm to the point where any good news about Harris or mockery of Trump is infuriating as it puts Harris voters in a more confident position and will lead to lower turnout as they think she's got a better than 50-50 chance, at best. Her campaign and her supporters need to be pulling out all the stops and pushing as hard as possible to the finish line rather than basking in their illusory lead.
Are you planning to stay home if she gets a big enough lead?
No?
WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP SPOUTING THIS BULLSHIT? If the polls are good, great, then we can make it a landslide. Stop treating Harris supporters like idiots.
Do you have any evidence at all that it could be a landslide? Your point of view suppresses the Harris vote, people stayed home in the 2016 election sure that Hilary was a surefire winner and then turned around and called her unpopular and unelectable. I can only assume you are intentionally sabotaging Harris' chances with your feel-good highfiving.
Harris has refused so far to support more popular Bernie-style politics and acts all smug about how well she did in that debate, and Democrats cluck their tounges at all the scandals and untruths that Republicans are going through - Republicans don't care, think its funny and will stand by Trump to the ballot box and likely beyond.
The election, if we're lucky, will be won by Harris if you excuse the expression, by a cunt hair considering how election deniers have been packing the voting officer volunteer rolls and if you aren't filled with cold dread at Kamala being literally left off the ballot in Montana and Georgia requiring hand counting of all the ballots before the day after the election, I don't know what to tell you.
Don't fall prey to the wine-drunk good vibes of gala event liberals who believe they won't really suffer much if Trump wins, and would rather have the short term reassuance now that we're fine and nothing more needs to be done than put more effort into actually making that landslide happen. All of America is in deep water without a life jacket here.
I play a game, before I open the comment section on any good news piece on the Harris campaign I try to guess how many "doesn't matter, vote" comments there will be. Usually about half.
Yep.
Gereatric Nepo babies are hitting physical limits... The old parasite ain't got it.
Hes ran out of cultures to hate. Has he tried hating Spiderman? Boosted J. Jonah Jameson's ratings.
Old Man Trump doing old man things.
Hey, whoa! Easy there! As a soon to be old man in 20 years, I'll have you know I have zero intentions of seperating latino families, znd locking them in a metal box to die. I have zero intentions of stiffing owed debts. I have zero intentions of being a wannabe fascist dictator.
He's not doing old man things. He's doing asshole things! You leave old men out of this!
Yeah fair enough. I probably should have qualified it more.
