Sure, he may LOOK pathetic and incompetent, and his campaign may APPEAR to be coming apart at the seams as he collapses into the low 40s in battleground states, but what you have to understand is that Trump has 149 days left to PIVOT.

You see, Trump has the secret ability to become presidential at the drop of a hat. The beltway punditry knows this, and has been patiently waiting for him to make the pivot since 2015. He just hasn’t chosen to do it yet. But don’t worry, with just a few months left until America goes to the polls, the pivot is coming.

Never mind the fact that he’s been impeached, and is massively failing on coronavirus, the economy, and police reform. Never mind the fact that he just gassed his own people for a photo op. The pivot is coming!

There’s not long to go now, so expect that pivot any minute now. Suddenly, the disgusting piece of shit that a majority of America heartily despises will magically disappear and be replaced by a calm, compassionate, empathetic human being who emanates warmth and understanding with a twinkle in his eye.

Pivot-Trump will burst forth like a beautiful butterfly, captivating the hearts and minds of America, and within moments the 80% who think the country is spiraling out of control will heave a sigh of relief and say, “Finally! THERE’S the Donald Trump that I knew was lurking beneath that scabrous exterior all along! Let me rush to the polls and vote for him!”

Yes folks, THE PIVOT is coming!

Any...

minute.....

now.........
