McALLEN, Texas |...He's looking caged, a man with soul so dead and a candidate who may have flamed out too soon. Republican Donald J. Trump is on the ropes. The fire seems gone. Less and less rallies in his campaign, the next one a questionable one in friendly, Red Montana.
Is he quiet quitting?
It would seem so.
Trump held a rare news conference yesterday at his Mar-a-Lago resort and again threw out his tired moaning and groaning. His words said he was wanting to fight, but his look was that of a very old 78+-year-old man.
The pundits were cruel and, well, dead-on.
Watching the press conference, conservative political strategist Mary Anna Mancuso declared, "Trump is quiet quitting his own campaign."
Hours before Trump’s Thursday presser, she wrote: "Trump is panicking."
And during the news conference, she noted Trump was "spiraling."
And later, she concluded, "Trump is not ok..."
Interesting, eh? This new assessment comes after some rather obvious wheat-stalk lashings of the bellicose Fake Republican Trump by his beloved FOX News, the Red Outlet that is, little-by-little, distancing itself from the convicted felon.
Perhaps Trump has caught-on.
He's been losing poll votes steadily to the Democrat Harris/Walz ticket.
Never the one to see himself as a loser, Trump may be almost there, however. There's been fewer rah-rah peeps from his sons and daughter in recent days, and, well, that September 18th sentencing in New York on his Hush Money Trial conviction has to be weighing on him.
Will he quit ahead of the November 5th election?
Trump hates to lose...and maybe knowing he is losing has cracked his fragile ego.
Go before the blow, that sort of response...
