    But confusingly, Trump has continued to send Vance out to campaign events all week, while the Republican presidential nominee has remained largely out of the public eye. Given Vance’s low appeal, it’s unclear how this strategy helps the campaign.

    Trump is going to blame Vance for the failure of his campaign, calling it now. He’ll have the usual shit about dems as well, but he’s going to scapegoat vance and throw him under the bus just like he’s done with literally everyone else before him.

      But Trumps only reason for president is to dismiss the federal charges against him. Intentionally losing the race doesn’t help that goal.

        But Trumps only reason for president is to dismiss the federal charges against him.

        That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Trump wants another stab at the Prez because he wants to settle scores. This wouldn’t just be an attempt at a self-pardon. He fully intended to unleash his DOJ and law enforcement on the political opposition.
