If I was a Trump advisor...

And this is purely strategic thinking, like a war game.

He'd be better off to drop out of the race, hand pick a P and VP candidate, maybe Noem and Vivek, whoever...

Go 100% in support to hand over the MAGAt's to them...

Continue his legal defense fund for the grift...

His hand picked folks can punish the right people and pardon him of Federal crimes IF they were to win.

At THIS point... IMHO...

An alternate nominee WITH the support of Trump... will carry more voters than Trump alone.




Anyone think Trump would do the smart thing? (lol)

If it doesn’t benefit him, he won’t think it’s the right thing. And the right thing to him is never admitting he lost and is a loser

And I think dropping out WOULD help him.

I think the DoJ would be more likely to make favorable plea deals if he was out of the scene.

He has done plenty of weird shit that doesn’t benefit himself. Why in the world would he start now?

He’s a narcissist. Only HE thinks he’s right.

Maybe Hannity?

Telling him it's over.

Hannity can be Hitler's Albert Speer.

best strategic move, rather than the thing he most wants to hear. You wouldn't last a week.

The guy is a fucking narcissist. His advisors tell him what he wants to hear, or they aren't his advisors much longer.

Two things:

1) tfg never, ever admits defeat
2) his die-hard magats will stay home if he is not on the ticket

GOP is afraid of all the fans who ditch the election if he is not the nominee which will hurt senate and house races as well as state

If he is not the center of the universe and not in control, he gets even nastier.
