Trump's advisers are concealing how badly he is performing in swing states to keep him happy

President Donald Trump's campaign officials are misleading him with the idea he is doing better in his bid for reelection than he really is, a Republican official in frequent contact with the campaign told The New York Times.

The Republican, who spoke with The Times on the condition of anonymity, said some aides "willfully distort the electoral landscape to mollify Mr. Trump."

The official recalled a conversation in which aides assured Trump he was performing well in Maine, a swing state where in fact he has trailed the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, by double digits in polls.

The Trump campaign is said to be in turmoil with recent polls — including one Wednesday by CNBC and Change Research, showing Trump trailing Biden in several swing states as well as nationally.

1. I suspected as much. I can't even fault them. It must be horrible to have to contend with his rage

at YOU for just giving him the truth. I know he lies all the damn tie but when he kept saying his internal polls were very different, the first thing I thought of was "Hell, they're afraid to tell him the truth!"

...is "what will happen on Election Night, when they can't hide the facts anymore?" If what we're seeing now is Trump when he's confident he's going to win, what's he going to do when he finds out he lost? Particularly since that means that he's only a few months from becoming a private citizen subject to criminal prosecution? Assuming the Repugs and Putin don't find a way to steal the election again, I'm thinking the period between November 4, 2020 and January 20, 2021 may be the most perilous our country has ever seen.

Or check CNN or anything.
Imagine. They can tell a president anything and he'll believe it.
