    This level of mental gymnastics should only be attempted by seasoned professionals.

      Okay, I did some stretches and I feel warmed up.

      My biggest complaint is that the answer to the question “So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting crooked Joe Biden?” is “no”.

      He wasn’t forced to fight Joe Biden. Instead of attacking Joe he could’ve focused on extolling his own virtues.

      I feel like reacting this way indicates that he doesn’t see himself as a candidate worthy of winning the election on his own merit.

          Yeah, but if the campaign was based on the belief that “Trump is the best candidate regardless of who he’s running against” there would never be a need to pivot based on the opponent changing.

          Which to me indicates Trump was viewing his 2024 campaign as a grudge match between himself and Biden as opposed to viewing it as a campaign to be elected president of the United States of America.

          Like, where’s the strength of conviction? The guy is flailing and it’s embarrassing.

            His campaign is a desperate attempt to get back that sweet sweet presidential immunity, plus all the perks he’ll get selling out the country for pennies on the dollar.

              That’s exactly what it feels like to me as well. Just an attempt to grab power to use for himself.

          This just came to me - you now need to run for president.

          400m lap before any presidential debate, speech or campaign announcements. If you do it in more than the country average you can’t respond and first back can start.
