I Beginning To Think Trump Wants To Lose In November....

[global1]

The other day he was talking about a depression if Biden is elected. I think he knows that the bottom is going to fall out in the economy. I don't think he wants the blame so he's throwing the election. Why else would he be pissing so many voters off.

If Biden wins and the Dems take the House & Senate - and if he and the Repugs know the bottom is going to fall out - he and the Repugs will jump all over the Dems like you never heard before. We'd be hearing him saying - 'see I warned you' and 'if you would have elected me this wouldn't have happened'.

Do you realize Trump would even be elgible to run again in 2024 if he loses in 2020. Imagine that campaign.

The Lincoln Project might even be a double agent group helping him along. They might see a scheme like this will not mean the end of the Party. The Repugs would have their 'economic issue' with which to run on.

I realize that this is really a far out conspiracy theory. But I don't know of any other reason as to why Trump is making himself look so bad.

Now I know people here will say he doesn't need to do too much to look so bad.

But some of the things he's been doing and saying defy belief.

[soothsayer]

1. Well, he's unhinged, so...

Also way over his head and needs a grownup to fix everything he broke.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. But, if he leaves WH where does he go?

[redstateblues]

11. Trump TV Network. $6.99 A month

[kimbutgar]

12. I can see him doing that scam and not being able to cancel that 6.99 a month.

19. Riker's island?

3. Trump can't afford to lose ...

If he loses he opens himself up to prosecution. All authoritarians end up becoming corrupt, that’s why they inevitably try to become dictators for life. This is what’s driven Putin to get his term extended to 2036 and why Xi is now dictator-for-life.

[torius]

4. It's not fun for him anymore

No rallies, and he doesn't want to hear people complaining about Covid. He's not capable of doing the right thing, he has to "vice signal" all the time, that's more fun for him, even if it loses him the race. Plus, if he wins it will be from cheating, not from actual votes.

[SoonerPride]

5. he will be dead by 2024

he won’t be able to run again because he will be a corpse

[Goodheart]

6. Nope. He's just fucking stupid.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

17. Yes..

[Quixote1818]

18. Bingo! nt

[Silent3]

7. He might not want to win, but he certainly doesn't want to lose either.

Besides the fact that he hates losing, I think he knows the legal shit storm that will follow when he can't hide behind the presidency as a shield. In his narcissistic mind, it's all terribly unfair and undeserved, but he knows it'll be coming anyway.

He's like a trapped animal, and God knows what will happen to all of us because of that.

[MyOwnPeace]

13. I think you've got it.............

Doesn't want to win ("I didn't want the job to start with!&quot and can't afford to lose ("They're gonna' do mean things to me, I mean the meanest ever!&quot .
Yep - a trapped animal - and it ain't gonna' be pretty!

8. He's going to be in deep dementiaville by2024....

To the extent his increasing symptoms have gotten past his denial, that is possible. A medical "out" is really the only way to save face, but I fear something more ultimately desstructive--to us all.

[ananda]

9. He and his family and cohorts will be finished...

... looting and destroying every possible thing by then.

[WyattKansas]

10. Dumbass Donald was too lazy to actually do a year as President.

Four years must be an excruciating annoyance for him... The only thing he knows how to do is attack with fringe conspiracies, which is why he keeps repeating all the same crap. He is too lazy and stupid to come up with any independent thought, which is why he flails wildly when he does.

14. All it takes is one felony conviction

So, Individual #1 might have some legal concerns if he decides to run for another term assuming that he loses in 2020.

[BamaRefugee]

15. The next 4 years are going to be mainly mop-up duty for whoever is President. The Treasury will have

been looted, there won't be money to fund ANY new programs, and unless the Senate gets flipped, nothing is going to pass anyway.
I don't think trump can see himself as the janitor-in-chief. You may be right.

22. +1

[Shermann]

16. Anti-establishment campaigns are a lot easier to run

It's easier to get people to hate something than to love something.

But now he is the establishment, and anger votes don't go his way.

The best he can muster is anti-Biden ads which are completely devoid of any constructive messaging.

It's harder to defend a title than it is to win it, as they say in sports.

[lanlady]

20. He wants it both ways

He definitely wants to win, but he doesn't want to do the work of a president.

[uponit7771]

21. K&R, Or he .. KNOWS ... he's going to lose and is trying to burn it all down on the way out.
