Trump burns the Trump Presidency to the ground

[Jesus_Ateo]

Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt painted an “ominous” picture of President Donald Trump’s approval ratings during a Monday evening appearance on MSNBC.

Schmidt was interviewed about the 2020 elections by Lawrence O’Donnell on “The Last Word,” who asked about the latest presidential polling.

“Well, the way that the campaigns are looking at this now is they’re looking at the average of all of the polls. So you’re looking at an 8%, 9% lead for [Joe] Biden by the average, but you’re looking at decimation inside Trump’s internal numbers on all of the questions of leadership, on decency, on being up to and fit for the job of being president,” he replied.

“He’s just lost the confidence of the American people during this season of ineptitude and incompetence in his performance and you see that throughout the poll,” he explained.

Trump has lost the confidence of the American people.


Trump’s dismal polling could also hurt Senate Republicans facing reelection in 2020.


“Now, when you look at the state polls and you look at the trajectory of some of the Senate races, if you’re a Republican, you’re starting to tremble. These numbers are very, very ominous at this hour,” the Former Republican strategist noted.

“And so you could see in the coming months more and more of these Republicans starting to jump off the ship like fleeing rats. But, you know, at the end they’ve lashed their masts to the S.S. Tump, and the S.S. Trump is foundering in heavy seas — that’s what the poll number says,” he concluded.

As an intelligent person, I am sure you realize that most Presidential experts will tell you we can not truly judge a President's performance for at least a couple of generations after they have left office. The long term results of decision are not clear until then. When the President is on office we are filled with emotions, we all know that decision formed in emotional moments are rarely well thought out or correct.

This president intentionally does everything differently than previous presidents. Trump's incompetence, corruption, and criminality were quite evident before he was elected. No one with at least half a brain has trouble assessing his presidency as a failure from the get go. We don't need distance from this. What we need is distance from the deranged conman who is Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump has been spending the past two weeks of American protests “isolated” in the White House, with nothing but his “thoughts” to keep him company.

Politico’s Jake Sherman reported in a Twitter thread and in Politico’s Playbook on Tuesday that as demand grows for action to combat police brutality, Trump is digging a grave of intolerance. Republican allies are shrinking away as a result.


“Trump seems more alone and isolated with his thoughts, and detached from the overall political conversation in the Capitol, and the rest of America,” said Sherman.

“On Capitol Hill, the president’s party is beginning to rally around some overhaul of the laws governing police conduct,” he reported, noting that Republicans are desperately trying to craft a bill to deal with police violence while the Congressional Black Caucus crafts their own.


“But in the White House, the president is busy broadcasting a conspiracy theory that people find so alarmingly baseless and in poor taste that the party’s top lawmakers are treating it like it’s the physical manifestation of the coronavirus itself,” said Sherman.

Donald Trump’s tantrums and his campaign’s incompetence come together in a big waste of money


Donald Trump is furious about his terrible polling and taking his anger out on everyone around him. So how do his campaign staff make him feel like they’re serving him well and save their own jobs? The answer, apparently, is to do something completely useless when it comes to actually reelecting Trump.

The Trump campaign has spent around $400,000 on cable news ads … in Washington, D.C., which voted 91% for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Even the campaign isn’t pretending this $400,000 in ads (mostly on Fox News) is about voters: “We want members of Congress and our DC-based surrogates to see the ads so they know our strong arguments for President Trump and against Joe Biden,” campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told The Daily Beast. Uhhh, dude, you should have cheaper and easier ways to be sure congressional Republicans and campaign surrogates know the argument for your candidate than television ads. Could it be that’s not really what this is about?

So the campaign isn’t pretending the ads are really intended to reach voters, but even so the explanation for the ads is obvious nonsense. Two sources tell The Daily Beast the deal: for real, this is about comforting Trump as he obsessively watches Fox News. If he sees ads for himself, maybe he’ll feel better about all of the signs he’s tanking .



And maybe he’ll feel better about the hard-hitting ads from the never-Trump Republicans at the Lincoln Project that have driven him to late-night rage-tweeting —ads that George Conway, the husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, said were run in D.C. specifically so that Trump would see them, saying that although “There are no persuadable voters in the District of Columbia,” he “was thinking, ‘Well, why can’t you just run an ad on the cable provider for the White House, so that some certain individual would see it?’”


The Trump campaign seems to be embracing that view, putting money into making Donald Trump think his campaign is mounting a fierce defense of him even though that exact action is taking money away from efforts that would actually help get him votes.

Donald Trump's bowel movements - described as "something you don't want to be near" - are impeding his ability to carry on the duties of the office.

Several US Presidents have discovered the White House to be inhospitable to their "regularity." Obama and both Bushes complained about it. Trump is discovering it.

This is an absurd and childish way for any candidate to behave, but the Republicans picked this intellectually-lazy, emotionally-needy child to be the leader of their political party.

Trumpworld Fears Its Nightmare Scenario Is Coming True

As Donald Trump returns to the campaign trail this Saturday night in Tulsa, Oklahoma, some of his top political advisers are growing increasingly concerned that the president won’t be able to dig himself out of the hole he’s made for himself.

Over the past two weeks, several of the president’s campaign lieutenants as well as individuals in his administration have reacted with mounting alarm as multiple polls have shown Trump dipping into the 30s against former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee. In weeks past, various aides in the White House and on the Trump re-election effort had privately expressed cold comfort in the fact that with everything going on—a bungled response to a deadly pandemic, a massively crippled U.S. economy, protests across the nation, and a number of Trump’s own former top officials coming out against him—it was practically a miracle that the president’s poll numbers hadn’t sunk even lower.

Early this month, one senior White House official told The Daily Beast that their “nightmare scenario” would be for the president to slip beneath 40 percent support in a sustained string of public and private surveys—thus signaling that a previously unshakable base was starting to grow a bit disillusioned. Trump’s consistent—though perhaps unenviable—standing in the low 40s had for years remained an illustration of his enduring base and iron Republican support.

Donald Trump just can’t stop losing: The past few weeks have been the worst of his presidency


Donald Trump is losing. He’s losing nationally in the polls. He’s losing in battleground states. He’s losing in the streets. Every day when he wakes up and turns on the news, he is losing. He can’t escape it. He is a loser.


He is losing his precious Supreme Court. Twice in one week, the court ruled against him on matters near and dear to his heart. On Monday, the court handed him an unexpected defeat as two conservative justices, including Trump’s hand-picked buddy-boy Neil Gorsuch, ruled that gay and transgender Americans are covered by the Civil Rights Act’s Title VII and cannot be fired or discriminated against in hiring simply because they are gay or transgender. On Thursday, Chief Justice John Roberts joined the four liberals in deciding against the Trump administration’s attempt to end the DACA program, ruling that Trump’s order to cancel the program had been ham-handed and “arbitrary and capricious.”


He is losing to John Bolton, the former national security adviser and a man he called a “dope,” whose book, “The Room Where It Happened,” to be published next week, has already made headlines and sent Trump into paroxysms of anger and despair. Bolton, who refused to testify before the House impeachment committee or to provide testimony at Trump’s trial in the Senate, didn’t add much to the Ukraine bribery scandal, but he did admit that he had gone to Trump’s lackey of an attorney general, Bill Barr, and reported on Trump’s penchant for “doing favors for his favorite dictators.” He quoted Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calling Trump “full of shit,” echoing his first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, who called him a “fucking moron.”


He is losing to his generals. After using National Guard troops to clear the way for his disastrous Bible-toting photo op at St. John’s Church and threatening to put active duty troops on the streets of Washington to suppress protests, he was forced to withdraw all National Guard troops from the capital. Then Secretary of Defense Mark Esper gave the order to send home the active duty Army units Trump had called up and stationed outside D.C. at Joint Base Andrews. Several former high-ranking military officers, including former Defense Secretary James Mattis and retired Navy Adm. Michael Mullen, wrote articles critical of Trump’s proposed use of American soldiers against protesting American citizens. Even active duty generals reacted strongly, with Gen. Mark Milley, current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, writing a cleverly coded letter to the rest of the joint chiefs reminding them of their oath to the Constitution, including their obligation to defend its guarantee of free speech and assembly.

I’m Canadian so my opinion doesn’t count but the polls during the last election didn’t show him winning either. They are irrelevant metrics but the media has nothing better to talk to.
Also, both parties are working to more to different versions of the past, neither is looking to what the world will be in the future.

 

[KeithD]

Also, both parties are working to more to different versions of the past, neither is looking to what the world will be in the future.

The struggle in the Democratic Party at this moment in platform issues and a VP candidate are all about "what the world will be in the future." Even the campaigning everywhere but within the Republican ranks against Trump is all about "what the world will be in the future"--or if there even is a future for the world.

Aawwwww! Trump is all butt-hurt again!

Trump had been bragging for weeks that a million people had requested tickets for his rally in Tulsa. The arena in Tulsa only holds 19,000, so Trump was planning to address an overflow crowd outside the arena before the actual rally.

Only there was no overflow crowd.

And inside the arena, more than half the seats were empty.

Trump tried to make up excuses for why the turnout for his rally was so small, but his excuses were so lame, nobody is taking his excuses seriously.

Trump's approval ratings are low and he has fewer supporters now than he did three years ago. The American People have lost all faith in him. That's why his crowd sizes are so small!

But Trump can't handle the truth, so he makes up childish excuses to try and explain it all away.

Trump had been bragging for weeks that a million people had requested tickets for his rally in Tulsa. The arena in Tulsa only holds 18,000, so Trump was planning to address an overflow crowd outside the arena before the actual rally.

Only there was no overflow crowd.

And inside the arena, about half the seats were empty.

Shortly before his plane landed in Tulsa, Trump learned that six people on his staff had tested positive for the coronavirus. He didn’t seem at all upset that people on his staff were infected with a potentially fatal virus, however, he was LIVID when he learned news of these infections had leaked to the press!

Trump had framed this event in Tulsa as the launch to his re-election campaign. He built it up as a sort of grand spectacle that would make us forget about his poor poll numbers, the rising death count from COVID-19, the poor economic numbers, the murder of George Floyd, the police brutality and all the rest. This was supposed to be a hug extravaganza that would wash all of the other news away.

Instead, there were plenty of empty seats and only some 6,000 odd people showed up. Trump's ego deflated and he's acting all childish and bed-tempered because he didn't get his way.

 

[KeithD]

Trump's rally was a huge gamble for him. If he'd filled the arena and the parking lot, it would have been a big boost. The scientific assessment was that he would fail in many dimensions. Life is uncertain, but the gamble went right where science said it would go. The biggest reason it did was Trump himself. He got himself to this point.

 

[bodysong]

Trump has been screaming about leaks since he first took a seat in the Oval office chair.

He was forced to leak the information, himself, before he had acquired minions to re-tweet.

Suppose all of those anonymous "senior White House officials" tattled without permission -

They would be exiled, not tossed in the re-cycle bin and sent through the revolving door.

Trump's dogs wear his shock-collars, and there are severe punishments for the disobedient.

FFS sake, the heads of the military shame themselves, at his order.

The Great Purge of Real and Competent Leaders continues.

Donald Trump’s poorly-attended rally in Tulsa may have broken the bond he has with his supporters, one of the president’s former top advisor said on Monday.

“The spell has been broken,” former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci declared on Twitter.

“They people are moving on and want to heal from his nonsense,” he explained.

Trump is in a deep, deep hole’: Polling analyst breaks down brutal new 2020 numbers


The New York Times on Wednesday released a brutal new poll showing President Donald Trump losing to former Vice President Joe Biden by 14 points — and one elections analyst thinks that it’s going to be very difficult for the president to overcome.

Reacting to the latest NYT/Siena College poll, Economist data journalist G. Elliott Morris argued that 14-point deficits are very hard to make up, and that Trump needs more than just a regular tightening of the polls to win.

‘Expect Trump to go ballistic’: Biden opens massive lead in new poll


Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden leads Donald Trump by 14 points in a New York Times/Siena poll released Wednesday as the president’s approval rating continues to plummet.
Biden tops Trump 50-36 with 14% of voters undecided, according to the poll, which surveyed more than 1,300 registered voters.

While Trump leads among white voters with no college degree, Biden leads almost every other demographic group. Biden leads slightly among male voters and has a 22-point lead among women voters. He leads by 34 points among voters under 34 and by 23 points among voters between 35 and 49. He leads by 28 points among white voters with a college degree, 39 points among Hispanic voters and 74 points among Black voters.
