Trump is old, but he appears energetic. He’s boisterous and aggressive, both traits appeal to his base. They don’t care if he gaffs or gets countries wrong.
Edit: based on people’s reactions, somehow you seem to think I’m endorsing him or like him. I do not.
To be clear, I’m trying to honestly assess why he might have a chance at winning. Our republic is fucked if he wins.
Have you seen his latest rallies? He has nowhere near the energy he did in 2016. He rambles about the dumbest shit, loses the plot, can’t tell countries and world leaders apart, just an overall mess. His previous attacks were pretty stupid but focused and determined. Now all he does is whine about how unfair the judges in his cases are. It’s low energy. Sad. Yeah, a lot of his base won’t care, but Maga Republicans have been getting absolutely bitch slapped at the voting booth.
Pretending like he doesn’t have a chance is what got him in power the first time. I don’t typically love polling, but you should look at the numbers.
If Trump wins again, our republic is done.
Yeah when people try and pretend like Trump can’t speak to a crowd or isn’t charismatic I feel like I’m being gaslighted, it’s like they really don’t want admit he can be good at it for some reason. Being dumb af or evil is a separate thing than charisma, and if anything they’re infamously associated traits. He’s totally phoning it in a lot of the times now sure, but he can still turn it on when needed.
Trump and Biden are both historically disliked party leaders, so pretending people have unanimous respect for every aspect of one or the other is really strange to me. I remember in 2016 people trying to convince themselves Hillary was cool and could give some “fierce” comebacks to Trump if only given the chance, and I was just fuck stop doing this to yourselves this is sad. If Hillary wins it will not be because she’s a good speaker… I still lose it at her robot voice being like, “I first came to awareness of you, through the Cardi B WAP!”

I legit cannot tell if you mean now or in the past.
Yeah he’s definitely always done this, but now it’s even worse and extremely low energy.
The endless torrent of lawsuits is wearing him down, or at least I hope.
Both? Trump has never actually understood what he says if it wasn’t about himself.
