https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/trump-3-0-is-a-changed-man-hes-now-a-loserTrump 3.0 is a changed man hes now a loser
Conservatives who were pleased that Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 often expressed hope that high office would change him. But that didnt happen. They optimistically suggested hed grow into the Oval Office, smooth his rough edges, shed portions of his narcissism, vulgarity, and brutality, and insult and betray fewer people while learning to control his tantrums.
But all those glaring failings continued through his four years in power and beyond. They have been clear during his two years of falsehood and whining about his 2020 defeat at the hands of Joe Biden, previously an also-ran loser in two pitiful bids for the White House.
But just because Trump retains all the excruciating qualities he ever had doesnt mean hes unchanged. In one important respect, he is very different now. He is a loser. And he knows it. Every fiber of his bulky being betrays what he cant admit that hes fast losing the support he once enjoyed and the confidence it fed within him.

From what I understand, last night even HANNITY cut away from the trump speech after awhile. Thats hard to believe but what's been reported. the majority know that last weeks elections showed the ultra maga people LOST. And it wasnt because of massive Dem turnout, it was because the Independents turned against them. And THEy will be who defeats trump.
Trump should be much easier to beat in '24 if he is the nominee. But I just don't see him winning. DeSantis isn't scared of him & others aren't staying quiet like before. And THEN what kind of trump do we see?
