One month ago, former President Donald Trump seemed poised to retake the White House from an ailing President Joe Biden. Now that he’s falling behind Vice President Kamala Harris, people close to Trump’s campaign are complaining to Vanity Fair that the GOP nominee is only making matters worse. “It’s like he’s choosing to lose,” one of them vented.

    If I was less acceptably sane, I might think there was some sort of coordinated effort by the real Powers That Be to ensure that he does not become the next president, potentially starting with the assassination attempt, then moving to plan B by pushing Biden out so Harris takes over, and now funneling loads of positive media attention towards Harris and negative attention towards Trump when he is essentially behaving the same as he always has.

    Of course, like I said, I’m too sane to believe that…right?

      Apart from the assassination attempt, the rest might be more simply explained by the existence of an opposing campaign attempting to defeat him.
