Trump has given up. He is now targeting solely his base.

1. Spending his time getting all his supporters to the polls. I think (hope) all the early voters we

see ae voting for Biden! I think Biden voters outnumber the T voters that remain supporters. There are a lot who voted for him but have been disappointed and now support Joe.

2. I can't see Trump "giving up" in any situation. More like...

...he's still laboring under the delusion that this is just like 2016, and that his base will be enough to win.

3. Has he ever not just targetted his base ?

4. It seems like Trump is a sincere white supremacist's. He isn't capable of not saying racist shit nt

5. He's made some lame attempts to reach out to minority groups of late nt

6. A headline like that is the M$M's way of keeping the race tight

It's a head fake.

Don't let up. Every Biden vote matters. Not one should be taken for granted.

If we all pull our weight, we'll save the republic.

8. There is another possible motive here

There were rumours this morning that Trump raised the suggestion that he would resign in return for immunity for him and his family.

Just rumours. However, at the moment the facts are that Trump and the GOP appear to be heading for a loss. GOP senators are beginning to denounce or step away from Trump, to improve their own chances of being re-elected.

Since Trump is regarded as being the poison in the party, giving him a pardon would serve no purpose, except to remind the public that the party is complicit. They would do better to lose while renouncing him, than to go down with him still as their figurehead.

If pardoning serves no purpose, he has to raise the stakes. At this point he knows his personal army of followers can’t save him and keep him in office. But they could create chaos, civil unrest and commit terrorist attacks. As long as he keeps them on side.

I’m not saying the rumours of his asking about a pardon were true, and the rest is just a theory. But going to a possible bargaining table and reminding everyone that if everything is done his way 'no one will get hurt', is pretty much Trumps MO.
