Donald Trump is finally recognizing he’s at risk of losing the election unless he makes some changes.

As Democrats convened this week in Chicago, the former president’s campaign advisers reached out to people who are allies of both Trump and Brian Kemp, the popular governor of Georgia he was publicly attacking just weeks ago, to smooth things over between the two Republicans.

Trump’s advisers, meanwhile, have been privately strategizing about how to broaden his appeal with voters and shore up support among top allies. They convened a stakeholders call last week with a small group of influential Trump supporters and unofficial advisers to provide an update on the election.

      He’d flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia before going to prison. As much as I think he’d look good in an orange jumpsuit, absconding would be a much bigger blow to his supporters.

    I saw a sign a week or so ago that said “Trump: Unifying the Country”. Just the most laughably pitiful thing I’ve ever seen - I’m sure even Trumpers were doing a WTF? at that one.

    Does he? Or do his people just want him to? Because it seems like it’s the latter to me and that he couldn’t give less of a shit.

    Privately, Trump has suggested he understands that he could lose in November if he does not dramatically change his approach to the race…

    This sounds like the person “with knowledge of [Trump’s] thinking” is trying to reassure themselves.

      Every friendly interview Trump has is just him “Yeah, uh huh, right, yup”-ing is way through whatever the “”“interviewer”“” is saying, then spewing whatever stream of consciousness he has going in the background. It’s why he never answers questions - he doesn’t listen to them, and if actually pressed, he gets pissed because he has to actually try to think.

      Someone probably tried to tell him “we should change tactics” and he went “Uh huh, uh huh… WHERE’S HUNTER”

    His first rally back he spent his time lying about everything. He only told one truth. That was about how RFK talked badly about him and he didn’t like it. He spread more crime lies, immigration lies, and random ass lies. Then he lied about how he’s getting JFK files released and lied about how RFK ran a good campaign and people like him.

    He’s gone to 100% lying shitbag ult.

    Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement, in particular, appeared to give Trump’s campaign a new jolt of energy and they welcomed him on stage at a rally in Arizona with pyrotechnics and “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters.

    I hope Dave Grohl sues the fuck out of him
