Trump may or may not be wanting to lose the upcoming election, but right now, after three weeks of exposure (as a racist, narcissist, opportunist, conspiracy theorist, etc.) he is at his weakest and he knows it as does his crowds.
He has taken to saying the phrase "If nothing comes of this" (his campaign). The phrase reveals his nightly conversations with children and advisors when he says those words. He sounds resigned, even accepting.
His crowd are beginning to weary of the same dozen points between spells of braggadocio and prompted responses, which are beginning to sound a bit tired. (Imagine driving for an hour, standing in line for two, then waiting for another, only to hear the same ole sh*t repeatedoveer and ove foor two hours. Wouldn't most people begin to feel like they'd been had?)
Since he is waning at just this moment, and since 85% of his appeal with his supporters is based on undiluted admiration (how else could they stand such blatant bragging?), getting words like Trump-Fatigue and Trump-Weariness will reinforce their suspicions that Trump is even more hollow than they are. It will "frame their feelings," like any good meme. And when their undiluted love for him begins to go, watch out!

(19,356 posts)I think I remember hearing that before the presidential convention is the time to try and define the opposing candidate. I mean that's what a campaign tries to do.
Besides, the meme may help promote a cascading effect, and t opportunity might only be available now. Tomorrow he might change his mind and become more presidential and turn the falling polls around. We will have lost an opportunity.
