Trump's entire reelection message amounts to an admission of failure
Given his monstrous narcissism and megalomania, it was only a matter of time until President Trump began campaigning for reelection on the notion that his own government has failed him.
Trumps political advisers have hit on a new strategy to cope with the challenge of running for a second term amid the most severe public health and economic crises in modern times, the Associated Press reports.
That strategy is to run once again as an outsider, which requires using his own government as a foil. Trump advisers tell the AP that Trump will be positioned as the outsider relative to Joe Biden, which you can see in the new label that Trump propagandists have been applying to Biden: swamp monster.
But if you dig beneath the surface of this argument, it really amounts to an admission of failure on Trumps part, if an unwitting one.

Just like him saying he never spoke the words that were recorded.
He thinks the entire country is as delusional as he is.
66 million knew he wasn't a great leader or fit for office. He's had 4 years to prove them right. What will 2020's numbers be?
