    Attendance at his rallies is already down. He is already fading.

        Conservative super pacs have been running ads against him for months. He still doesn’t have a running mate. No one showed up to support him outside his trial. Rich shareholders have cooled on him, because an erratic president will hurt stocks far more than any tax breaks or slashed regulations will help

        His supporters are leaving his events because he just looks weak and incoherent - he’s not even “incoherent sprinkled with buzzwords”, he now just rants about himself like an old man

        Mainstream media is owned by a few billionaires - regardless if they want Trump or Biden, selling Trump as a threat kept people focused where they wanted them. They’ve been showing as little unedited footage as possible, but even his softest softball interviews have so little that makes him look good.

        I think it’s ok to be optimistic, I don’t think I can sit through the debate tonight, but I think the clips will be interesting

          He was definitely more focused than usual, and that’s problematic. It was full of bullshit, of course, but he was laser focused on the fucking border, even regarding irrelevant questions, and I feel his base will like it. Which is worrisome.
