Narcissistic egomaniac simply have no filter, and everyone around them kisses the ring or they are gone.
Trump is smart, witty, and sharp as a tack at times.
But wisdom he lacks...in spades.
The alternative is worse, and he will get my vote for a third time.
But myself, and those like me, aren't the problem.
He must pick up majorities of independents, the no labels crowd, disenchanted dem moderates.
But his petulance, his immaturity, his bullying, his self-absorbtion, will hit harder than any policy nuances or governance strategies that he offers.
Why is he going to lose? Because in an eminently winnable race, he wont convince enough people to "like" him.
It is a very learnable lesson and yes even correctable problem.
But Trump is bereft of wisdom. And his handlers, most of whom know better, are too afraid to tell him.

Trump is right on Nato and it’s entirely consistent with what he did as president. One of the reasons Europe was as ready as they were to respond to the invasion of Ukraine was because Trump had used this strategy to convince multiple European nations to contribute more towards their own defense.

It's been obvious from the onset of this election that Trump was his own worst enemy. I voted for him in the last general election, and I'll do it again because he'll be the only person on the ballot that can beat the dims/Biden.
It is infuriating, and frustrating to watch the guy run his mouth in such a way as to repulse so many people, so unnecessarily!
I find myself wondering (often out loud!) if he's trying to piss people (voters) off!

Not defending Trump's mouth, but Biden couldn't be rescued with a super tanker! Lol

One step forward and two steps back. He was winning over undecided voters with his "No revenge" rhetoric but then attacked Birdbrains family with the "where's her husband" comment. I'm voting for him for a third time but that was cringe.

VDH is not wrong. Trump doesn’t have to worry about the core base regardless but for the undecided types who still could “potentially vote Trump” there’s absolutely no reason to get in the way of the Biden/Dem meltdown.
Just shut your mouth about certain things and let the spotlight fully shine where it belongs. MSM is always going to be aiming at Trump so no need to hand em the bullets.
Sometimes less is indeed more.

Geez, the 2020 election was stolen for the millionth time!, the evidence was there you just had the wrong lawyers presenting the case. Georgia alone was the most obvious.

No one steps on their own dick as much as Trump.
Every time the Dems are experiencing controversy he says some dumb shite to get attention.

Hansen is accurate as usual.
However, there's a third scenario that could prevent him from taking office again. I don't blame him for not saying it because it's unspeakable, but our government is not afraid to activate the see eye A assets in certain situations, as they've proven many times including that one time in 1963.
I think if that happened again, the subsequent civil unrest would completely destroy this nation and be cataclysmic. We don't need that, but it's not at all beyond a possibility.

The problem is Trump thinks he’s first.
If he’s not the center of attention then he starts talking, and we see the results.
In the first debate with Biden, old Joe almost hung himself several times only to have Trump interrupt and save him. Trump can be magnificent, but he doesn’t know when to shut up.
Halley has no chance. Leave her alone. Joe is getting killed on border issues, his health issues and inflation. Now is not the time to gin up a new issue.

Ok? Voted for The Donald in 2016 and will vote for him in 2024. My point still stands and cannot be refuted. He is his own worst enemy. Dude loves stepping on some landmines. He loves throwing haymakers, but sometimes he smokes a baby square in the face.

Correct. He has to be the center of attention, be it good or bad.

It's odd that people are already building excuses for someone that is so far ahead in the polls

Please do indulge me and explain why he wasn't the reason he lost the 2020 election? Be specific and give me all the details.

It is so strange that people cant admit that the guy has flaws. I am openly stating that I am going to vote for him, but any criticism levied his way is sacrilege. Its as if its the reverse of Obama just on the republican side.
