Off his rocker: Trump campaigns in a world of his own.

Republicans are trapped by Trump’s insane ideas about how to win this election

---

... consider this moment from a rally the president held in Tampa on Thursday, at which he revealed that he’s being urged not to waste his remaining campaign time talking about Hunter Biden and the media ...

It’s crazy. It’s crazy. You know, some people said — I get a call from all the experts, right? Guys that ran for president six, seven, eight times. Never got past the first round, but they’re calling me up, “Sir, you shouldn’t be speaking about Hunter. You shouldn’t be saying bad things about Biden because nobody cares.”

I disagree. Maybe that’s why I’m here and they’re not. But they say, “Talk about your economic success. Talk about 33.1 percent, the greatest in history.” Now, look, if I do, I mean, how many times can I say it?


That was followed by a tribute to all the Fox News programs Trump enjoys, then an extended riff on Miles Taylor, the former administration official who recently revealed that he is “Anonymous,” the author of an insider tell-all on the administration. This is what he thinks will win him more votes.

Trump is certain that anyone who questions his flawless political instincts must be an idiot. But is there a sane Republican anywhere who actually believes that focusing on Hunter Biden is what will turn late-deciding independents toward Trump or motivate otherwise-indifferent Republicans to get to the polls?
