Donald Trump is in full meltdown mode.
Could he destroy his own campaign?
Whatever Trump does to manage his stress, I imagine he’s doing a lot of it right now.
The convicted felon has had a terrible three weeks.
Ever since Joe Biden dropped out of the race, things have been going rapidly downhill for Trump.
His campaign had been built around bashing Biden, whose frailty and questionable mental acuity made him an easy target.
With the far more energetic and coherent #Kamala #Harris as his opponent, Trump clearly doesn’t know what to do.
His campaign now seems to consist of nothing but #racism, the revival of old #grudges, #conspiracy theories and #insults.
This strategy isn’t exactly working out for him.
A New York Times/Siena College #poll published on Saturday found Harris four points ahead in the crucial battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
This is a big deal: when Biden was the nominee, Trump was either always slightly ahead in those states or the two men were neck and neck.
It’s not just the polls that have shifted, #media #coverage has, too.
A month ago, every headline seemed to be questioning Biden’s mental competence;
now, headlines are focused on #Trump’s #unhinged #rambling.
While Harris’s campaign has huge momentum and exudes competence,
Trump is embroiled in chaos.
One of the latest debacles?
He was #hacked.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the hack was “by the Iranian Government” and added:
“Never a nice thing to do!”
No – but it provides a good opportunity to remind everyone that Trump’s Twitter (now X) account was compromised in 2020 by Victor Gevers who successfully guessed the password was “#maga2020!”
This was after the ethical hacker hacked Trump’s Twitter in 2016 by guessing the password was “#yourefired”, the catchphrase from The Apprentice.
⭐️The man who wants voters to think he can manage national security can’t even manage his own passwords⭐️
