Although it&#8217;s likely a more significant part than he and his handlers are letting on. He hasn&#8217;t been seen in public in two days during the period of time when COVID-19 symptoms generally become more severe (7-10 days after first symptoms). And in his last appearance he seemed to be gasping for air as he stood on a White House balcony for a propaganda video.<\/p>\n<p>However, even more troubling to a malignant narcissist like Trump, his reelection campaign is crumbling into dust. He is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/election\/2020\/presidential-polls\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">trailing Joe Biden by double digits<\/a><\/strong> in most recent polls. And this isn&#8217;t a trend that Trump can dismiss as phony, Democratic polling or <em>&#8220;FAKE NEWS&#8221;<\/em> because his favorite pollster, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/elections\/election_2020\/white_house_watch_oct07\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Rasmussen is showing the same dismal results<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;President Trump\u2019s debate performance followed by his coronavirus diagnosis appear to be digging an even deeper hole for him this week. Democrat Joe Biden now has a 12-point lead over the president in Rasmussen Reports\u2019 weekly White House Watch survey. The latest national telephone and online survey finds Biden leading President Trump 52% to 40% among Likely U.S. Voters.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the past three weeks Trump went from a one point advantage to one point behind to eight points back, and now a whopping twelve point deficit. His approval rating, according to Rasmussen, has declined eight points (52% to 44%) since September 25. In those intervening days Trump nominated a Supreme Court justice, debated Biden, and contracted the coronavirus. Apparently, none of those things advanced his standing with voters. Additionally, Trump&#8217;s approval among his Republican base now stands at a sorry 76%. That&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43726\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">twenty points lower than the number he frequently boasts about<\/a><\/strong> on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Trump likes to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=40503\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">post the Rasmussen approval survey<\/a><\/strong> whenever they put him above the 50% mark, even though he generally falls back below that within a few days. But it&#8217;s a safe bet that he won&#8217;t be posting these results. He may even resort to attacking Rasmussen for having defected to the Deep State. That&#8217;s been his reaction when the Drudge Report has been critical of him, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?tag=trump-attacks-fox-news\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">even Fox News<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to Trump&#8217;s polling woes are his abysmal fundraising efforts. While Biden is setting new records each month and expanding his targets, Trump is lagging in both receipts and cash on hand. He has had to pull advertising in key states that he needs to win in November. According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/10\/07\/joe-biden-trump-territory-426802\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">an analysis by Politico<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Joe Biden is set to spend $6.2 million on ads [in Texas] &#8230; Perhaps even more astounding: Trump doesn\u2019t have the money to counter the cash-flush Biden on TV. Over the past two weeks, Biden had the airwaves to himself in Iowa, Ohio, Texas and New Hampshire, while Trump went dark.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s not a recipe for any kind of campaign renewal for Trump. And with less than four weeks until election day, there&#8217;s little time for him to mount a recovery. There&#8217;s even less time when considering the fact that early voting has begun in many states and millions of people have already voted. Which leaves only one avenue available for the floundering Trump campaign: Straight up batshit crazy ranting and incoherent babbling. And in that race Trump already has a huge head start.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In case anyone is wondering why Donald Trump has posted 100 insanely rage-infested tweets since 9:00 PM Tuesday night, it might have something to with how desperate and scared he is.
