Trump is going for the pity vote

Aides say Trump has grown to recognize the extreme political peril he's created for himself less than 100 days until the election. When he speaks with friends, his grievances are long and his complaints are ample but his willingness or ability to alter course seems minimal, according to people who have spoken to him.

Trump has voiced versions of "nobody likes me" for the past several months, those people said, describing an in-the-dumps president brought low by a pandemic he feels he has little ability to control.

All those macho gun-toting white supremacists would hate to hand some dude a "pity vote". They'd prolly just stay home....which helps the down-ticket democrats!

I'd love to see this election wipe out republicans from every state house in the country.

Plenty of people kiss his ample tush, but nobody really likes him.

What’s there to like?

They would be showing the American People how much of a whiny pathetic loser he really is in spite of his macho act.

The knuckle draggers would immediately smell blood and turn on him, just because they like targeting whining losers... Makes em' feel Murikan.
