Scared of:
•Joe Biden; or
•the New York Attorney General; or
•Deutsche Bank; or
•his falling fan base.

Maybe:
•he's caught Covid-19; or
•his physical health is failing him; or
•his mental decline is accelerating; or
•Putin is calling in his markers; or
•the Chinese are calling in his markers

•Or as someone down thread suggested he's going to try a fake assassination.
•Or he's just seeking attention

Who knows. He's a strange old man that I can't wait until he goes far, far away, and takes his grifting family with him - and not to forget Pence and his mother, and all the other sycophants.

either physical or mental - or both.

Strategically (for us) he needs to stay around at least for a month or two so if he doesn't run, the Republican party will need to scramble for another candidate and have almost no time to campaign.

Something about a bunch a really rich elites, who I guess don't like him. He insinuated he was under some sort of threat. More rambling from the Master of Incoherence.

and his family's safety, I am sure, the whole time he was in office. Drumpf is spineless, gutless, and paranoid.

I've been worried throughout that he might figure that out. Maybe somebody in his advisory staff finally convinced him.

Regardless, those clips won't go away

Has he ever lied to the American people before? Look, Joe Biden said something ambiguous!

...that he was going to drop out of the public eye for a while. I believe it was a reveal that he knows he's going to get crushed and that he would have no reason to ever visit that plant again let alone speak there.

Anything for attention that distracts us from his massive failures and crimes. And, if he can set this up to make himself look like some sort of sympathetic victim-hero, all the better.
