   Considering the legal consequences of this year's election for Donald Trump, you’d think he’d be laser-focused on winning. But oddly enough, the opposite seems to be true. Fewer rallies, more time on the golf course, and even launching new business ventures just months before Election Day. Is this a strategic move, or is Trump self-sabotaging his own campaign? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-theories-trying-win-2024

     ...Or maybe all the fun was taken out of it when he realized that Biden was no longer in the picture. He mainly ran, I think, because he wanted revenge against Biden for beating him the last time. He is so petty.

     "No matter the reason, even if Trump just brings his C game as he currently appears to be doing, the right-wing media, streamers and influencers, billionaires funding pro-Trump super PACs, and bad faith operatives backed by Russia are all working overtime to prevent a Harris victory. So even with a lazy and dispirited Trump, we have to work as though Kamala Harris remains the underdog."

     @georgetakei It’s because he’s confident the election can be stolen again. And worryingly, he could be right.
