Factually, that’s what he did during his time in office as well. I’m not sure what they thought had changed.

    Trump is being told by his donors that the voting isn’t important because they’ll litigate the shit out of the election if they lose.

    What’s important to understand is that Trump isn’t the one in charge. He’s a useful idiot.

    Trump’s motivation isn’t Project 2025, or abortion bans, or anything at all for that matter. He has no principles. He agrees with the last person who spoke with him. That’s how his brain works. What Trump cares about is having the power to pardon himself and make all of his criminal charges go away.

    So a bunch of fundies see an opportunity. THEY have an agenda. THEY have a plan. THEY tell Trump, WE WILL get you into power by hook or by crook. We’ll pay for your campaign because we know you’re broke. We’ll get our people in place everywhere we can. From a vote perspective, you’re going to lose this election…WE are your only chance to avoid prison and (potentially worse) no longer being useful to Putin and falling out a high window.

    Trump is golfing not because he’s given up. But because a) he’s miserable and has no interest in being the president, but he has no choice if he wants to avoid prison. and b) He honestly believes he doesn’t need the votes because his “people” (who he’s stupid and egotistical enough to think that HE controls rather than the other way around) have it wrapped up for him.
