Donald Trump Jr. privately thinks Trump will lose in November

Donald Trump Jr. believes that his father, President Donald Trump, is on course to lose the presidential election in November, according to a profile published by The New York Times Magazine.

A spokesman for Trump Jr. strenuously denied the suggestion.

The Times magazine cited a Republican activist said to be in regular contact with the president's eldest son, though it did not name them.

The activist described Trump Jr. as "the only person who thinks they're going to lose. He's like, 'We're losing, dude, and we're going to get really hurt when we lose.'"

According to the report, Trump Jr. believes that if his father loses against Democratic candidate Joe Biden, it will result in federal prosecutions of the president, his family and political allies.

I'm linking to the Business Insider recap, rather than the original NYTimes article, because paywall.

2. Unfortunately he is no better at predicting than anyone else

My wife loves to point out that I was sure Bob Dole would defeat Clinton.

I have been stunned by elections several times.

So I like to focus on huge demographic tides which will break our way pretty soon even if not exactly now.

Unless that asteroid due the day before the election gets us.

4. Well, this year, I wouldn't be surprised by the asteroid.

Only if in that big rock, there's any sentience at all, it will avoid us like the... well, plague. It should sheer off and head for Mars, where the people aren't so crazy.

5. To which country are all the Trumps going to flee after the election?

Does Russia have an extradition treaty with the U.S.?

6. Since 2016, Chump has no NEW supporters

... and yet bucket-loads have deserted him in the last 4 years. Many more are keeping quiet now, will probably not vote or else secretly vote for Biden.

How can Chump possibly win? He can't - and they all know it. But they'll keep on lying and cheating anyway, because it's good for business -- fraud business.
