Donald Trump Jr. privately thinks Trump will lose in November
A spokesman for Trump Jr. strenuously denied the suggestion.
The Times magazine cited a Republican activist said to be in regular contact with the president's eldest son, though it did not name them.
The activist described Trump Jr. as "the only person who thinks they're going to lose. He's like, 'We're losing, dude, and we're going to get really hurt when we lose.'"
According to the report, Trump Jr. believes that if his father loses against Democratic candidate Joe Biden, it will result in federal prosecutions of the president, his family and political allies.

I have been stunned by elections several times.
So I like to focus on huge demographic tides which will break our way pretty soon even if not exactly now.
Unless that asteroid due the day before the election gets us.

How can Chump possibly win? He can't - and they all know it. But they'll keep on lying and cheating anyway, because it's good for business -- fraud business.
