I'm tellin' ya, he wants out, somehow. One year has been enough, especially this one.
"Pride goes before a fall." The virus is kicking hell out of his bragging rights. He'll go quietly.
Not this asshole. He'll go kicking and screaming.
Candy, I think you might want to rethink that hypothesis. Consider it is Trump operatives that are trying to get Kanye West on the ballot in a lot of states. The idea is that in competitive states he just needs to peel away 2-3% of the Democratic vote to win. West isn't doing anything himself other than saying he is running nor does he even have a campaign staff.
But there are a handful of Trump-orbiting GOP operatives pushing West's helter-skelter, supposedly independent campaign for president. According to CNN, one such operative with ties to the Trump campaign, Lane Ruhland, has filed paperwork to get West on the ballot in Wisconsin. Source
Then you have his appointment of a political flunky as postmaster general. His first order of business was to tell postal employees that they no longer had to deliver the mail on time. The idea here is to make sure a substantial portion of mail-in ballots are not received on time to be counted. This was the first postmaster general that wasn't chosen from the ranks of post office employees and was a political appointee.
Devin Nunes (republican house member) and Ron Johnson (republican senator) are receiving packages of Russian propaganda from Ukraine to run a disinformation campaign in the Senate against Biden. Source
If Trump loses he is going to declare the election fraudulent because of mail-in ballots or some other BS, and urge states that are under the control of Republicans to issue their own electors regardless of the results of the election in their states.
Why go to all this trouble to cheat if you aren't in it to win it?
He knows the only way he is staying out of jail and keeping his empire is if he stays in office. He loses it all if he doesn't. New York state is closing in on him and now the Scottish government is investigating him for money laundering. Not to mention the existing Federal Crimes he committed which he will pardon himself out of.
Actually, I can have pity for Kanye. He is cursed with an illness nobody would want. To set him up for public ridicule is unconscionable.
Don't know what Trump's excuse might be. Appears he is circling the crazy drain as well.

When Dr. Fauci first talked about "flattening the curve," Trump thought he was referring to breast reduction surgery.

Can't wait.

Mark is mistaken.
These postmaster generals were not chosen from the pool of postal employees:
1971: Winton M. Blount
1986: Albert Vincent Casey
1986: Preston R. Tisch
1988: Anthony M. Frank
1992: Marvin Travis Runyon

Ok, then, the first one in 28 years.

I'm sure he's the first one who was appointed without having any qualifications whatsoever.
I'm sure he's the first one to be appointed as a quid pro quo for having made a massive campaign donation to the President.
I'm sure he's the first one to strangle his own Post Office's funding and order it to become less efficient in delivering mail.
I'm sure he's the first one to try to STOP the mail from being delivered.
