Trump's myth-making mistake: He's running against an opponent who doesn't exist

Down in the polls, Donald Trump is betting that voters will decide only that Joe Biden will look worse.

To me, just how Trump is doing that is more than concerning: Trump is choosing an unsubstantiated, scattershot campaign based on myths and false associations that present dangers that just are not borne out.

If Trump actually believes in Trumpism, anti-immigrant policies, preservation of racist symbolism, his tariff-laden approach to foreign trade and security issues, his bull-in-a-china-shop approach to foreign affairs and support of only the wealthy, he should stick to those. Obviously, he should knock off his braggadocio about leadership during the coronavirus, since we are losing that fight Bigly.

Still, calling out Biden as a demon who will invite widespread riots and social rot seems unnecessarily over the top. They just disagree about approaching divisiveness and direction as president.

So Captain Dipshit's campaign strategy is to tell everyone that there will be civil unrest if Biden is elected by showing how right now, while he is "in charge", that the country is experiencing civil unrest? ?!?!?!?


Trumplicans - It is so fucking stupid - it just might work !!!
