  1. He’s too old, yall. Biden knew when to hang it up and he ohkie dohkied Trump with the switcheroo. Harris and Walz are zipping across the country, while Donald the tired old racist triggered debate loser is not even trying to keep up. He can’t, it’s just not in him.

    It’s a beautiful thing.

  2. He’s really banking on his minions to steal it, which is scary since his minions include the entire Republican Party at every level and the supreme court

  3. He’s too old and too fat. By the end of his career, Sintra HATED “My Way”. Give me a supercut of rallies before, during and after his term of rally snippets and tell me that he’s still enthusiastic about saying the same nonsense.

    He’s a rodeo clown. He’s just there to sing and dance so he can keep himself out of court and it’s not really playing this time. I wouldn’t have energy for that either.

  4. His scaled-back rallies signal that even the ringmaster knows when the crowd’s getting tired, so fewer stops with the same old rubbish.

  5. Less chance for some campaign ending gaffe, but it’s hard to imagine how extreme that would have to be.

  6. Well, felon Trump is almost 80. It has to be tiring for such an elderly man. It is also demotivating with so many people in the audience regularly walking out on him.

  7. The rally racket isn’t bringing in as much money as it used to, so he’s shifted his attention to crypto, sneakers, silver coins and SuperPAC transfers.

    It is wild that his campaign held five events here yesterday. They must be panicking but more money spent here is less money spent in PA.

  9. I heard an interesting take on this from the Economist.

    If you look at the grassroots there is also not much activity from Trump’s campaign, there is far fewer lawn signs, not much door to door to talk to voters.

    Basically the aim is to get to after the voting, find how to get a lawsuit into a federal court and escalate it up to his SCOTUS and get them on side that there has been fraud or other things and get the claim that the election was fraudulent validated in SCOTUS.

    This explains why the campaign is basically a shell and the endgame is the legal route after votes have been cast.

  10. Not just slightly fewer — many fewer. Compared to 2016, less than a quarter in August and September and compared to 2020, during the pandemic, he’s done 1/3 the number of rallys in September.

    2016 Trump was doing a few rallies per day towards the end. He hopped from airport to airport and was able to do his stump speech with no Hannibal Lecter tangents.

    The decline is noticeable and concerning.

  12. And WHEN he loses, it’s because the election was not honest, or rigged. Oh wait, it’s the fault of the Jews.

    It’s never going to be his fault. However, he just does not have the time, energy or the momentum that Harris does.

  13. He’s insane and literally believes he’s already won or that it’s impossible to lose.

    He also has no money comparatively, and the money he does take in goes toward the true reason he’s running for office…his legal defense

    Republicans are also already in progress trying to rig the election for him as a continuation of the big lie from 2020…but only in swing states of course. There’s certainly no fraud or issues in Iowa or Texas or Florida, right? Oh wait, unless those red states start flipping blue on election night, then there’s massive fraud to investigate, obviously /s. He will make a play to SCOTUS

    Also when he does go on the road currently, he gets shot at by his own violent supports who are armed with military rifles he let them have and amped up on his deranged rhetoric. He has to be sealed into a plexiglass box to speak

    Who benefits from everything I just wrote? Even if it works, it doesn’t benefit Trump or GOP long term. The answer is clear: Putin and Russia absolutely love this instability

    So why campaign if you’re Trump? It’s already in the bag, or you’re gonna cheat. And there’s crazy ppl with guns ‘your side’. Stay safe friends

  14. If your life was threatened multiple times, I think you definitely would alter your behavior. Add in age, fatigue, and other factors as well

  15. The man’s cooked.

    This is what happens when you abandon what little morality you have to worship a fool.

  16. Because the more he speaks, the more people listen… and for him, to a sane, rational person, that’s bad.

    Keep talking Donvict, you’re your own worst enemy.

    MMW… He either thinks he’s got it so far in the bag he doesn’t need to hold rallies, or has plans to “win” that make it so he doesn’t have to.

    The other night I saw Ringo Starr play, guy is in his mid-80s. Now that guy had energy – was literally doing those exaggerated jumping jacks, and at the end of the show.

    But see, Ringo is a real star. Trump is a fake.

    He’s done talking. He thinks he’s gonna be able to steal it. He doesn’t want to go to jail. He’ll successfully overturn the election and/or flee to be with one of his authoritarian buddies. I say “and” because he’s a mastermind criminal. Don’t kid yourself that he’s some confused old man. I’d count on this being an act. This dude is a criminally minded malignant narcissist with psychopathic and/or sociopathic tendencies OR on the street, possibly the biggest jerk ever live. We’ve counted him out hundreds of times, so much so that Jason from Nightmare on Elm Street would blush.

  20. Seems to me he’s running a “minimum viable”campaign, just enough activity to seem credible while banking on post-election shenanigans.

    He has to win this election to stay out of legal jeopardy. After that, he doesn’t care.

  21. The guy is almost pushing 80 and by all accounts he should be in a nursing home as opposed to running for president. 

  22. And his plan is just to claim he won, appeal forever, and announce his 2028 bid soon after to run out the clock on all his court cases

  23. I think rallies cost money. That grifter is holding fewer rallies to pocket more of his cult’s money.

  24. Not as important to rally a base when you’ve compromised the courts and the electors. His campaign is just for show at this point

    Low energy Donnie. He knows he’s going to lose again. This time to DEI Kamala. Not Sleepy J.

  26. Why rally when you have the Federalist Society and the Supreme Court backing your candidacy?

    The plan is to take it. Whatever.

    Get out the vote for the House and the Senate. this could be the US’s cliff edge coming right up.
