Donald Trump is finally recognizing he’s at risk of losing the election unless he makes some changes.

As Democrats convened this week in Chicago, the former president’s campaign advisers reached out to people who are allies of both Trump and Brian Kemp, the popular governor of Georgia he was publicly attacking just weeks ago, to smooth things over between the two Republicans.

Trump’s advisers, meanwhile, have been privately strategizing about how to broaden his appeal with voters and shore up support among top allies. They convened a stakeholders call last week with a small group of influential Trump supporters and unofficial advisers to provide an update on the election.

I do like how he says he’s going to create a new presidential commission on assassination attempts because RFK likes him now.

Also because he wants to be the center of attention for everything, and this committee would apply to him specifically.

It probably makes me a bad person, but he didn’t die and I could give a fuck about the attempt or the commission.

Well it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference.

Kennedy Jr.’s endorsement, in particular, appeared to give Trump’s campaign a new jolt of energy and they welcomed him on stage at a rally in Arizona with pyrotechnics and “My Hero” by the Foo Fighters.

I hope Dave Grohl sues the fuck out of him

Does he? Or do his people just want him to? Because it seems like it’s the latter to me and that he couldn’t give less of a shit.

Being incapable of doing a thing doesn’t mean you don’t care. Lots of drug addicts wish they could be sober. He’s an addict.

Probably, but it’s hard to feel empathy for someone who demonstrates none.

Privately, Trump has suggested he understands that he could lose in November if he does not dramatically change his approach to the race…

This sounds like the person “with knowledge of [Trump’s] thinking” is trying to reassure themselves.

Every friendly interview Trump has is just him “Yeah, uh huh, right, yup”-ing is way through whatever the “”“interviewer”“” is saying, then spewing whatever stream of consciousness he has going in the background. It’s why he never answers questions - he doesn’t listen to them, and if actually pressed, he gets pissed because he has to actually try to think.

Someone probably tried to tell him “we should change tactics” and he went “Uh huh, uh huh… WHERE’S HUNTER”
