The late shows are showing Trump a month ago saying "biden is the most...." and Biden is the worst...." And Biden's a commy and THE MOST socialist. Yesterday the late shows are showing how now it's Kamala is....the exact same things he said about Biden. And to be honest, it's the exact same things he said about Obama. And the exact same thing Republicans said about Bill Clinton. And even Trump admits anyone who didn't like Bill was just jealous.
Man have things changed.
Less than a month ago, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was riding high: He was ahead in the polls, led a unified party at the Republican National Convention and had a disciplined message to defeat President Biden.
Vice President Harris’ entry to the race as the
new Democratic nominee has erased his polling advantage, upended his messaging and forced a campaign built for battling Biden to recalibrate.
For most of 2024, Trump and his campaign were a well-oiled machine built almost exclusively around pummeling Biden as “weak, failed, and dishonest.” According to polling, that messaging was working.
Before dropping out of the presidential race and after his disastrous debate performance in June, Biden was losing to Trump in every major battleground state, often outside the margin of error.
But in the weeks since Biden dropped out, the campaign has been dogged by bad news cycles — sometimes of his own creation — that have overshadowed the messaging against his new opponent.
When Trump appeared at a National Association of Black Journalists conference last month, he
falsely claimed Harris “turned Black” to gain political advantage. At a massive rally in Atlanta last week, held in the same arena where Harris appeared days before, Trump’s personal attacks on Georgia’s popular Republican Gov. Brian Kemp dominated more than criticism of Democrats.
Trump’s posts on social media and speeches at these events have also become more meandering, disjointed and rooted in grievance compared to earlier in the cycle, when Biden’s age and poor performance often overshadowed polling that found many voters thought Trump was too old to run again, too.
His attacks on Harris’ race, recent obsession with rally crowd size and other off-the-cuff remarks hearken back to his first run in 2016. But this time he is not an unknown quantity capitalizing on anger and anti-establishment sentiment to surge past an unpopular opponent.
Since the beginning of July, Trump has held a total of eight rallies. In 2016, he had 22 in the same time frame. Same mistake Hillary made.
Trump said he was focused on other types of campaigning beyond large-scale rallies, and that he did not need to campaign as much, calling it a “stupid question” to ask why he hasn’t been on the trail as much.
“Because I'm leading by a lot,” he said. “And because I'm letting their convention go through, and I am campaigning a lot. I'm doing tremendous amounts of taping here, we have commercials that are at a level I don't think that anybody's ever done before.
