Breaking from the normal Fox News pack that lavishes praise on Donald Trump, political editor Chris Stirewalt penned an editorial for the conservative networks website saying the president increasingly appears to be desperate as the November election nears.
As Stirewalt notes, in 2016 Trump ran like a man who didnt care if he won or he lost and that was part of his appeal as a novice politician. Pointing out that politicians of any stripe who indulge in the say anything, do anything, ends-justify-the-means approach to politics is queasy making he adds that Trump has entered that stage of his political career.
While noting that the president seems to have learned nothing from his attempt to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden that led to his impeachment, Stirewalt said the president is at it again in his quest to remain in office.
Were back in that same tall grass again thipis week as Trump toys publicly with a threat to sabotage mail-in voting unless House Democrats agree to his demands on a coronavirus stimulus. As Trump said today, unless Nancy Pelosi agrees to cut out spending that would benefit big cities, he will refuse any measure to provide the Postal Service the money it needs for the election, he wrote. As with his Ukrainian power play, Trump seems not to understand how this position might look to voters coming from the president who directs through his appointees the Postal Service: Give him what he wants, or he will precipitate election disaster that he believes would be in his benefit.

(4,042 posts)Does any of this sound familiar, like the head of the FBI coming out a few days before the election with bombshell Clinton news?
Johnson, in his smug Im richer than you demeanor says he has big news that will assure whats his names re-election.
All of this is being done right out in the open. There is no more shame. As they say, Alls fair in love and war. Trump is openly flaunting his rigging of the USPS, and, Catbyte, youre right. He is paranoid, as he should be, but his legion of corrupt minions are still there, at his side.
