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.
Even without the nomination, it might be personal political suicide for any individuals who press too hard about trying to get rid of him. Especially if they do it via outmaneuvering him in a way that gives him no choice. He’d bitch about it even if he really didn’t want to continue running because a) why wouldn’t he throw someone under the bus after they were done helping him get what he wanted and b) more donations if he continues to play it like he’s a victim.
