Can Trump act like he gives a crap for the election?

Concerned about "brutal" internal polling, Trump's top aides plot new theme

Trump is at a low point in his presidency and re-election campaign.

President Trump's top political advisers, in a private meeting last week, said their boss needs to add more hopeful, optimistic and unifying messages to balance his harsh law-and-order rhetoric.

Why it matters: They're deeply concerned about "brutal" internal polling for the president in the aftermath of his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and George Floyd's killing.

Behind the scenes: During a meeting of top political advisers at campaign headquarters on Thursday afternoon, the president's 2016 campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, raised a question that many close to the campaign have been asking themselves recently: "What's our message?"


Trump will have to walk a tightrope here, trying to convince the electorate that he possesses empathy, without angering his base, which appears to believe that empathy is for commie fags and not authoritarian strongmen.

It's tough to imagine he has the capacity to turn on a dime like this, but we'll find out -- if the polls motivate him enough.

I agree. He needs to bring balance. This election should be a cakewalk for him. He won last time against the most Establishment candidate in history, he now has 4 years of keeping his promises to run on and a guy who isn't even out campaigning and he will receive the same support from the same people that many have silenced (MSM<, Hollywood, global politicians).

Keep talking about communist China, protecting U.S jobs from abusing global socialists (especially manufacturing) and illegal immigration (always promote, coming to America "the right way", "legally" etc when he talks about the issue), tell everyone how proud he is that African-American home ownership is at record highs and the great job numbers all minorities enjoyed before the Wuhan Virus.

He doesn't need some strong law and order position, he just needs to say he supports good, honest police and that all citizens must be treated equal as the constitution demands. Suggest that if citizens rights are broken those bad cops must be swiftly removed so that good cops aren't tarnished.

None of these positions are soft, but they aren't "cops are never wrong" either. That attitude, is from the GWB/Romney (before he became a BLM supporter) school of Conservatism, and it's a loser in 2020, even as they and MSM try and rewrite history for them as it's convenient.

Uninformed sources told this reporter....

I know. Fake news.

The question posed by this thread remains.

I can't see the President pivoting here, and changing his position on the issue at all. I don't think that it would benefit him in the least.

The majority of Americans are opposed to Rioting, and are anxious to avoid it. If the Floyd protesters were to announce rioting scheduled for their subdivisions or small towns, they would be very concerned.

Rioting didn't help the libs in 1968, and it sure the hell isn't likely to help them in 2020. And back in 1968, Liberal Extremist Vice President Humphrey was opposed to senseless destruction. Further, rioting in 1968 was confined to the American Ghetto where most Americans rarely went. Today, mainstream areas, like the President's own street in New York have been attacked, thugs have taken over the streets his kids play in.

Do you really think the only issue at hand is rioting? Really?

There are definitely other issues, like Corona Panic Recovery. President is doing a tremendous job with that as well and I see good things ahead there too, as America moves forward.

But Law and/or Order is huge, and Trump had staked out the best position he can on it.

So you don't see any other issues surrounding the reasons/excuses behind the protests/violence, a bigger picture, a national history?

It's just about the violence?

My guess is that someone on his staff will be writing stuff for him. Then maybe he'll make some kind of statement on camera, clearly reading from a prompter with that weird, stunted reading cadence of his.

This is foreign territory for him.

 

[rightwinger]

Do you think it will matter? How many undecideds are still out there? I'd estimate perhaps...out of the 130-140 million who bother to vote) that perhaps there are a million undecideds who are truly "swayable" to one side or the other.

If I'm the blob, I'm doubling down on the sick and twisted stances he's made the cornerstone of his administration.

I think by now, Trump is who he is.

People will not believe any change is legitimate. In the next five months, the economy may settle or there may be some other event to sway the voters but I don’t think a change in Trumps personality will do it

 

[Billiejeens]

I still maintain that Trump never really expected (or wanted?) to win the 2016 election.

Look at some of the things he said and did during the campaign. It would have derailed almost any other candidate.

That is literally the whole point of his election.

 

[Billiejeens]

Trump is actually very busy doing his job. That makes him a sitting duck for his enemy that wants to destroy him, the media. Trump's performance speaks for itself.

ya, you sit around and watch fox news and tweet all day kinda makes you a sitting duck especialy when your message is one of hate.

And yet, he is beloved outside of the Democratic Media Bubble and those that adhere to it.

 

[Billiejeens]

It is a mystery how the likes of Reagan and Trump romp to popularity despite logic and reason. There is something in the American psyche that such men mine to their advantage (and our loss).

The mystery may actually be how people like you are so out of step with reality.

They can set up stunts to make him appear more empathetic, kissing babies, picking up a puppy, consoling a widow...

But it will come off as phony.......just like his Bible stunt

I think a majority right now thinks that Officer Chauvin went a big overboard with his containment of George Floyd.

However, I don't think that the rioting and looting and burning s winning anyone over to the Floyd side. And people are feaful.

Most Americans like police with iron testicles who don't take any shit. That's why most sheriffs and police chiefs across the Fruited Plain aren't Woody Allen types, but instead tough men ready to kick ass first. They don't think that the Rioters' demans to Emasculate the nation's police is a tremendous idea at all.

President Trump is utterly opposed to the Rioting and is willing to send in the military to stop it. I think that's the right stand to take- most Americans wouldn't want to see it in their neighborhoods. And the libs mayors are playing right into it. By refusing the President's help, and also failing to send in their own people to beat down and send the rioters to the penitentiary or the Chain Gang, they are helping Donald Trump immensely as looters are being immediately released to go out and loot again.

70% of the country thinks that "order needs restored" though not all 70% would agree on how.
Those people are less likely to vote Democrat in a few months.

Reagan had a natural charm and wit. As an actor, he could present what he wanted to present.

Trump is also an actor. He plays the role of TRUMP
At heart, he is an insecure, petty man child

But it will come off as phony.......just like his Bible stunt

What he did with the Bible was not a stunt. With Obama it would have been a stunt because he is nothing but a suit with lies. Trump was sending a message to those with faith and those who are closer to faith then mayhem. Anyone that has had any religious background or religion in the would have seen it. We know Trump is outragious. That is him. He has done nothing to hurt those who are religious, unlike Obama. He has not hurt the extremes of our society either.

There are Not a lot more than that. This is because many find Trump polarizing but also find Biden to be incapable of being President. Bidens VP pick will matter. So it’s the undecideds in around seven swing states and those may be decided by 20k votes or fewer.
