Brian Karem has a good article on Trump in "Playboy":

The president is scared out of his pancake makeup he’s going to lose the election

When I first began meeting with Trump officials for background chats, we met at diners or restaurants far outside of the district where they needn’t fear being seen with me. Now we walk up and down the sidewalk within blocks of the White House. The coronavirus isn’t the only reason, and the Starbucks coffee isn’t that great. The president is losing his power—even over his own people.
If Barack Obama had been accused of turning a blind eye to Russia as that country paid bounty hunters to kill American soldiers, the Wilhelm screams across the Potomac would be undeniable and unstoppable. Some of the White House staff now fully understands the depths of Trump’s dishonesty, and they are screaming.
The president is in free fall. It is beginning to look like his re-election will fail. There is talk he may not run. There is concern from inside his own camp that he is delusional. This president is the king of chaos, but the chaos is now threatening to swallow him and anyone who is even peripherally attached to him.

Today we have Donald Trump—and even members of his staff are now facing the fact that for the good of the country, he must go.

“Brian,” it said. “I emailed you. The Vice President emailed you. My sons, Don Jr. and Eric, both emailed you. My campaign manager, Brad, emailed you. Lara emailed you. Newt Gingrich emailed you. Sarah Huckabee Sanders emailed you. Trump Finance emailed you. And now I’m emailing you. Again. Each day, my team has given me a list of Patriots who have stepped up to help us reach our critical End-of-Quarter Goal, and each day, I’ve noticed YOUR NAME is STILL MISSING.”
