One month ago, former President Donald Trump seemed poised to retake the White House from an ailing President Joe Biden. Now that he’s falling behind Vice President Kamala Harris, people close to Trump’s campaign are complaining to Vanity Fair that the GOP nominee is only making matters worse. “It’s like he’s choosing to lose,” one of them vented.

    He’s planning on stealing the election anyway through his acolytes in congress and various state governments, so he sees no point in spending campaign funds that he can use on himself later.

      The only way that would be possible would be if he was close and was able to swing a few key counties with fake electors. If he fumbles the bid bad enough that it’s a landslide, there’s no way he’ll be able to get enough fake electors in place to do any damage.

      He’s not the president so he can’t even rely on people storming the capitol, cause Biden would just send in the troops the second there was a threat.

      Also, with Harris as the VP, she’ll have no problem certifying herself.
