Is Trump trying to get himself bounced? (self.EnoughTrumpSpam)

pseud_o_nym が 投稿

I've always thought Trump was only in this for ego, to prove he could get elected. I couldn't conceive of him actually wanting the job of president, with all it entails. Now, with the crazy things he's been saying and doing, I am starting to wonder if this is an exit maneuver.

Maybe he saw the energy at the Democratic convention and realized he was doomed. So he decides to make his candidacy too hot to handle. After all, if the RNC kicks him out, he can always blame them. Then he never has to lose the actual election.

I swear this is starting to seem more realistic with each passing day.

Everyone saying they don't understand what Trump is doing, that Trump is crazy or trying to blow the election, while I understand the idea, I just don't think it's true. Rather, what I think Trump and his aides are doing is purposefully using Alt-right talking points to drum up support from the more racist elements of the base. Pretty much everything Trump has said about the Khans was posted a day or hours earlier by alt-right white supremacist websites, to the point where I was actually surprised no official campaign representative tried to connect Khan to the Muslim Brotherhood or said he wanted to institute Sharia law in the US. I think Trump is taking a gamble, hoping that he'll be able to drum up enough disaffected white voters that he'll be able to pull off a win in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, which might be enough to push him through 270.

Also, I don't know how you get flair around here, but I want mine to be (((Globalist))). It's my latest favorite alt-right synonym for Jew so far.

You might be onto something about using racialism, unfortunately.

He probably got into this to further his brand, but I think it's starting to sink in for him that this entire thing is going to permanently damage it. If he loses he's going to be known at worst as a racist Nazi and at best as a fool who was easily-manipulated by right wing extremists into being their mascot.

But he has no idea how to deal with this other than to throw a temper tantrum because that's how he's lived his entire life. He was a mildly popular media figure before, and everyone sort of laughed him off as ridiculous but inoffensive, and his devoted followers / yes men are only fueling the fire by pumping up his ego from inside their echo chambers. So this is completely new territory for him and he's not adapting well.

I think it's all real. And it's not that hard to believe when you consider all of the ridiculous self-centered assholes we deal with in our lives on a daily basis. They just don't usually make it to the Presidential primary.
