Those include <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47167\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">aiding and abetting Russian disinformation<\/a><\/strong>, whining petulantly that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47175\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">everyone is against him<\/a><\/strong>, and insisting that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47157\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Democrats must, by law, become Republicans<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Among the warning signs that Trump is facing are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1318634063738019840\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">defecting Republican leaders<\/a><\/strong>, television <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=47137\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ratings defeats to Biden<\/a><\/strong>, and dwindling donations. On the latter, the most recent financial reports from Trump and Biden show a decided advantage for Biden during the most critical phase of the campaign:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joe Biden &quot;started October with $177 million in the bank. That&#39;s a nearly 3-to-1 edge over Trump\u2019s $63 million, putting Trump at a deficit without parallel in the modern era of campaign financing, especially for a sitting president.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Trump is TOAST!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OeP85worWJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/OeP85worWJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1318917706913959936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 21, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>However, Trump supporters should not be worried because Trump made this promise to them last week:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I keep reading Fake News stories that my campaign is running low on money. Not true, &amp; if it were so, I would put up money myself. The fact is that we have much more money than we had 4 years ago, where we spent much less money than Crooked Hillary, and still easily won, 306-223!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1315871589129498625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The only problem with that promise (other than most of it being flagrantly untruthful) is that Trump isn&#8217;t showing any indication that he intends to keep it. Trump still isn&#8217;t contributing to his floundering campaign. And if he doesn&#8217;t do so now, then when? What message does that send to any donors he has left? He expects them to keep shelling out for the lost cause that he won&#8217;t support himself. That makes them the suckers paying to fluff his ego.<\/p>\n<p>Trump still thinks he&#8217;s running the 2016 campaign when he was a reality TV game show host without a political record. He thinks that he can coast to victory by exploiting hundreds of millions of dollars in free airtime from news networks covering his every word. But those networks are not airing his his cult rallies and press conferences any more. Not even Fox News is doing it regularly. So Trump needs to rely more heavily on paid media that he can&#8217;t afford to pay for.<\/p>\n<p>By all appearances, Trump has already given up any hopes of being reelected. He isn&#8217;t reaching out to new constituencies. He is embargoing his TV appearances to Fox News or other similarly friendly venues. And his arguments for a second term consist mainly of conspiratorial nonsense and unbridled hostility. For instance, he\u2019s issuing ludicrous demands to throw Biden in jail for imaginary crimes. He\u2019s making wild, baseless claims about communist Democrats plotting the destruction of America. And he\u2019s continuing to downplay the tragic consequences of the coronavirus that he allowed to spread uncontrollably across the country.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the behavior of anyone who is seriously seeking the votes of the American people. It is more like the ravings a mental patient with acute narcissism and malignant paranoia. And it is unlikely to persuade any citizens to cast their votes for such a deranged candidate.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump is also killing any opportunity he thinks he has for a career after he leaves the White House. Who would hire someone so unstable and bent on self-destruction? At this rate, Trump would be lucky to get a five minute weekly commentary on the low-rated, ultra-rightist, One America News Network (OANN). And even then, most people would just watch it for the laughs.<\/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>As the 2020 Presidential election season winds down to its final days, the red flags for Donald Trump are waving wildly in the hurricane force winds that are pummeling his increasingly desperate campaign.
