The Quinnipiac poll, which is usually one of the better ones, gives Trump his worst numbers ever with even Pete Buttigieg beating him 49% to 40%. "Pete Buttigieg!!??" I'm thinking I could beat Pete Buttigieg…me, who'd have to live down 37 years of working on Groo the Wanderer comic books which any opponent could use against me.
Actually, I think Buttigieg would be a decent Chief Exec but I find it hard to imagine America lining up for him except in an "Anyone but Trump" sense.
So I'm thinking Trump's trapped in a vicious circle of his own making. Whenever he feels his stature as President/God slipping away from him, he gets nastier and more insulting and more disconnected from reality…but the reason his numbers are slipping is because people are seeing him as nastier and more insulting and more disconnected from reality. The skill at which he's most deficient is changing his act. In Trumpworld when you're losing, you double-down on everything…which is the reason he no longer has those casinos. It's the mistake every losing gambler makes.
