Trump advisors tell Trump to "stick to policy and don't make it personal".

Trump has kept it professional throughout. There’s only so much one man can take.

Dan makes a good point, Democrats don't want this election to be about policies and the current state of our country. They would rather this election be about which candidate makes people feel better.

Trump should be the main focus.

He has more negatives than a roll of film. He has to be the easiest candidate to campaign against since Herbert Hoover.

people complained about the black thing with Kamala

It worked. Blacks aren’t voting for Kamala because she is black. Not all obviously, but A LOT - in fact, a shite ton.

Now, since they aren’t voting for an Indian, they have started looking at policy for the first time in years… their eyes are now wide open.

If the election turns into a personality contest, it's a toss up. The DNC and the legacy media are working overtime to turn this into just that. A "vibe" election isn't great for Trump.

The only way this election turns into a debate about policy is by brute force. It can't be done by surrogates or supporters. Trump himself will have to make the election a referendum on Kamala's record and the failures of the Biden/Harris administration.

2016 had "Build the wall". 2024 needs something similar, a real, tangible appeal to swing voters. Personal shots are fine but not if that's all there is. Reading from the teleprompter about policies isn't enough. He needs to be ultra-disciplined. Kamala's too dangerous to be President is the only takeaway we need over the next few months. Who cares about the rest.

I thought until yesterday that no one could do more damage to Trump than Trump. Then the Obamas spoke.

Was explaining that to my mom today. She is not informed much about the political spectrum but has a liberal sister that constantly feeds her the liberal media talking points. She asked if I thought Trump was responsible for J6 and told her no way. Explained to her that the entrance started while Trump was speaking and that the media wouldn’t show what caused the beginning of the shite show. Told her that there was a misfire of a smoke bomb from capitol police shot into the crowd. She never saw that. Then explained about the Charlottesville crap that they frame Trump saying. She says he talks about people, calling them names, I asked her what she would do if people are constantly talking about you and her family. She didn’t say a word. It’s shite like this that some people still believe.

Doesn’t matter. Keep going and he can go back to his intolerable self in 90 days. If he keeps the election about policy over personality he wins.

Trump talks about policy all the time, in nearly every single public appearance in fact. People just choose to remember the personal attacks and forget the policy talk.

You people want Trump to be a drone that just repeats policy talking points, and that is a terrible idea if you want to win. The people don't want another empty suit that repeats the same 4 phrases over and over. Trump is authentic and that appeals to many voters tired of being screwed over by prim and proper politicians.

He also goes off on tangents where he shows obsession about crowd sizes, claims that he’s better looking that Kamala or tells stories about being on a helicopter with someone who decided to use his dying declaration to say bad things about Kamala…and then doubled down when he is disproven.

That may play well with his base, but it doesn’t to the general electorate.

Trump can’t help himself. I love the guy but he’ll find a way to let his ego slip in frick it up.

The level of these double standards are hilarious.

Joe Biden in 2020 literally didn’t campaign and centered his whole presidency around the “fine people” hoax. Absolutely no accountability whatsoever.

Kamala Harris has absolutely no legitimate policies at all and is saying she is going to fix stuff she has done nothing about for years. She said she would bail out rioting protesters burning down establishments years ago. She is a crazy extreme politician.

No one even comes close to holding these democrats accountable for shite they do or say; yet, Orange Man Bad about every damn word in a sentence. Every person in America should be disappointed about legitimate weaponizing of congress, the intelligence community, and the judicial system to persecute Trump. I mean the way the democrats and media act with their corruption is on the levels of over-the-top Hollywood fiction. I struggle with the fact they have so brazenly done things over the last 16 years.
