This is exactly why so many people voted against him.
He’s a narcissistic sociopath. He loved all the attention he could get, including the negative attention. He loves being in the spotlight. Many people were drawn to him because of his personality. Unfortunately for you guys, many more people couldn’t stand him.
I witnessed him turning many apolitical people into Democrat voters. Everyone had a strong opinion of him, whether for him or against him. Based on the huge spike in votes on both sides during the 2018 midterm election, I knew we were going to see record voter turnout in this election.
In my opinion, there were two things that cost Trump the win. His personality and his handling of covid. If he simply acts like a decent human being, maybe even somewhat presidential, he easily wins his re-election. He turned the White House into a non-stop reality show that people were exhausted by.
Next, his handling of Covid was easily the biggest mishandling during his presidency. It was a world-wide pandemic. It should have been nearly impossible to blame that on him. All he had to do was reassure people that we’re going to be ok and direct people to listen to the medical experts.
“My fellow Americans. My health officials inform me that the coronavirus is spreading faster than expected and it is time for us to take extra precautions to keep ourselves safe from this global pandemic. Don’t be alarmed - we have some of the best minds working on this. Please take simple precautions and listen to the CDC’s advice. Here is Dr. Fauci to answer your questions.”
How hard would that have been? Instead, he lied about how deadly the virus is and he turned his loyal followers against our medical experts, effectively politicizing the entire thing. He botched it.
Outside of those two things, he wins his re-election easily.
