Donald Trump knows he's losing.

The president has privately come to that grim realization in recent days, multiple people close to him told POLITICO, amid a mountain of bad polling and warnings from some of his staunchest allies that he's on course to be a one-term president.

Trump has endured what aides describe as the worst stretch of his presidency, marred by widespread criticism over his response to the coronavirus pandemic and nationwide racial unrest. His rally in Oklahoma last weekend, his first since March, turned out to be an embarrassment when he failed to fill the arena.

What should have been an easy interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday horrified advisers when Trump offered a rambling, non-responsive answer to a simple question about his goals for a second term. In the same appearance, the normally self-assured president offered a tacit acknowledgment that he might lose when he said that Joe Biden is “gonna be your president because some people don't love me, maybe."

1. Joe Biden is going to be the president because the people HATE you

shit-for-brains.

[Karadeniz]

2. They'll cheat, suppress, deregister...all their dirty tricks.

[donco]

3. I think that he is looking forward

his fate…ONE long term followed weekdays of gulf supported by sundays preaching to his brain-dead followers on the /twitterTV/radio.

4. The saddest part of all of this is that he will have learned nothing.

He said that he was sailing toward re-election until Covid and it's not fair. He will blame a freakin' virus rather than do any soul searching or growing. He is as disaster as a human being and he will die not knowing that. SAD!

[Laffy Kat]

5. The question is: have WE learned anything?

For god's sake, we cannot let this happen again.

[Marie Marie]

6. Oh I sure hope so.

Then I watch Republicans like Tom Cotton rising in the ranks of the GOP. America has a short attention span.

[Laffy Kat]

9. Yep. I am so pessimistic and cynical now.

[Laelth]

7. You're right.

He just told us that he is a perfect person. He will learn nothing. He can not grow, but I can’t feel sorry for him, either.

-Laelth

[lunatica]

8. The important thing is have we learned

something. We have some deep soul searching to do about why he was able to become president and gut this country. Our systems need some serious attention and overhauling.

He can go fuck himself.

[captain queeg]

10. Well it's sure been a rough stretch for the American people

I only hope he suffers in every possible way. And no, we don’t love you, certainly. Hate you is the word you are looking for.

11. I am seeing a number of trump ads in Texas

They are weak ads

Link to tweet

[denem]

23. trump ads in Texas?

The Lone Star State is in play !

[vercetti2021]

24. It'll flip but not only because of Trump

Because of the fumbled covid response by Abbott and his cronies. And the continuing demographic trends

[denem]

25. but trump Can Not Afford to lose those EC votes

right?

[vercetti2021]

26. Joe wouldn't need Wisconsin, Michigan, or Florida

If Texas goes to Joe. It's all but over for Donny J

[denem]

27. Thats right. 270 on the dot.

[vercetti2021]

28. Yep

But I think will win all 4 plus Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona

[duforsure]

30. I agree!

People are really pissed at trump and Abbott for what they've done , and what they've refused to do causing many more to die for trumps personal political gains, while Texans are dying from their failed policies. They both should be forced to resign.

[Gothmog]

33. There are also demographic trends in play

The demographic trends sow that Texas is becoming more urban and less rural. According to these trends, Texas will be blue in 2022 or 2024. trump and Abbott are accelerating the process

[vercetti2021]

34. Yep

2020 is in play because of them. 2024 itll be purple. 2030 solid blue

[Gothmog]

32. They are weak ads about Biden/China and Biden/dementia

I have seen these two ads a number of times here in Houston

[budkin]

12. Barr is already setting up the dominos

To challenge the election results and hand victory to Trump. We MUST remain vigilant.

[JoeOtterbein]

13. +1 nt

[smirkymonkey]

14. I don't trust the bastard.

He's up to something.

[orleans]

15. i think that prick should kill himself to spare himself the

embarrassment and humiliation he'll be going through

on second thought--maybe it would be better he suffer through embarrassment & humiliation

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. Nov.4 thru Jan.20 tRump will lay waste to this country.

[littlemissmartypants]

16. Losing isn't good enough.

I won't be able to deeply breathe until he's incarcerated or dead.

[greyl]

17. Parts of his splintered psyche would rather die than be reelected.

He could try to blame it on China as he goes.

[SlogginThroughIt]

18. On election eve 2016 he said...

On election eve 2016 he said he needed a miracle to win. That was the exact moment I knew it was fixed.

Fuck Trump. He is going to try and steal it again. We need to vote in unquestionable numbers.

[Progressive Jones]

19. This term should have ended long ago. He's lucky he's even alive at this point. nt

[rusty quoin]

20. My big worry is that he can still hit the big bomb button.

And there is nothing I’ve experienced that says he would not do that. The guy is absolutely certifiable.

[Jspur]

22. Tyrants never admit defeat or

go down easily. I don't believe for a second Trump believes he's going to lose. This man is delusional and I'm sure he believes he can comeback and win this election. He's not going to go down without fight. Nobody should believe for a second this race is over. It's far from over right now. We all have to have a vigilant approach until election day and assume this is going to be close instead of being a blow out.

[smirkymonkey]

29. I think he's bluffing.

He's never going to admit defeat. The fact that he even said that Joe might win scares me because it make me think he is up to something. There is only one way that this can end well. And I can't say what it is here without getting banned forever.

[uponit7771]

31. He's going to try to destroy everything like Hitler did bear the end
