haha: Trump is ‘chagrined' and realizes his campaign is in trouble, Steve Forbes says

Total creep Forbes, like slimemaster Gingrich admits Trump is in deep shit.


Donald Trump has an opportunity to get his campaign back on track when he outlines his economic plan on Monday, following a bruising week, former GOP presidential candidate Steve Forbes said Monday.

<snip>

"If you saw him on Friday making that endorsement announcement, that was a chagrined man who finally realized his campaign's in trouble. If he doesn't change it, it's over," Forbes told CNBC's "Squawk Box."

<snip>

(details, Trump doesn't need any stinkin' details)


A Trump policy adviser told CNBC's John Harwood the speech would be a "vision proposal" and that details would come later.

On Monday, Trump economic adviser Dan Dimicco said the speech will focus on four main areas — taxation, regulatory reform, trade and energy. He said it will include new details.

"I think you're going to find out that it's a little bit more than just a straight visionary speech, but certainly it will be wrapped up in an overall vision of economic growth, and economic growth that's more than twice what we've been experiencing since 2009," Dimicco told "Squawk Box."

via the Media to make it a Horse Race. When you see CNBC on Point,ah,the Comcast Mega Media Group looked at their Ad Bookings and said,we got to do something. Every segment of their programming this AM has the name or face of Trump in it. Had to change to Bloomberg,thought we were watching a Trump infomercial.

I saw someone who couldn't care less about the endorsement, but was told he had to say it so he READ the endorsement script handed to him with no enthusiasm or energy.

A chicken in every pot, a car in every garage, lower taxes for Trump and his overrich buddies, fewer regulations so we can get large corporations to wipe more towns off the map with slipshod practices (West, Texas is the template), and absolutely no details on how any of this will work or be implemented. America will be so successful, you'll get sick of success!

Trump's really getting schlonged in the polls, isn't he? Actually offering policy proposals! Sad.

The guy probably thinks that is a compliment.

Okay Steve Forbes, Trump cannot get his campaign "back on track", because it never was on track. "If he doesn't change it, it's over" - Most people think it already is over and no one believes he is going to change it. Is Forbes just talking to fill space?
