I guess we will find out which phobia Trump fears the most.

What does Trump fear the most? Looking like a loser or looking like a quitter. Those are his two choices heading into the election.

If he stays in the race he is looking at a major defeat. He will be a big loser. If he drops out he will be called a quitter.

His mentally defective mind must be twisted into knots over that decision.

perhaps he’ll use medical issues as an excuse, made worse by ‘presidential harassment.’

His excuse will be that the presidency won't let him be effective because of the Deep State and the mean Democrats, so he's decided to start an anti-government movement of MAGAts which you can join for a small fee.

Recent developments might indicate that Ghislaine Maxwell might be taking the spotlight as far as his troubles go and he is probably thinking about what he has to do in regards to that now.

I think there may be some very damaging information, (catastrophic) waiting to be revealed about him and others.

He's quit a lot of things (filed bankruptcy). He can quit anything if he can come up with an excuse - usually one that portrays him as a victim - that can keep him from feeling like or being perceived as a loser.

And then spend a lot of time complaining about how "unfair" life is for him. He is obsessed with the notion of fairness, and regards any setback as an example of all the unfairness that is visited upon his blameless head.
