So, basically, he's just in it for himself. Who could have seen that coming?

Certainly not the MAGA idiots who still think he's a patriot giving up a good life as a billionaire to "save" the country and people he loves...

"I'm here whether we win this or not,"

Maybe.

I doubt there will be enough democrats to convict him in the senate and the GOP doesn't have a spine to do what is actually good for the nation.

His health may conveniently deteriorate once he becomes Lame Donald Duck.

Unless Vance becomes Pres, and even if he does, DJT may have to move to his coming Trump Gaza Hotel, Casino, and Pedo Palace to avoid prison.

He's telling everyone that he's in this for the Great Grifts.... and he doesn't care what any voters think about that.

This was the last time needed his Base in an Election, so they aren't important, and he doesn't care what almost 70 percent of voters think.

He IS doing his best to pay off Vlad to cheat for him via the internets, and for ICE and the DOJ to rig the election on the ground with intimidation.

The question is, for how long?

The change of tone may be to lower his own expectations, so he doesn't stroke out after the midterms.

Although we may see him disappear for a long sabbatical which his staff will swear is only campaign fatigue.

Daddy Vlad is threatening to release the Helsinki 2018 tape where Trump is giving "Bubba" aka Vlad Putin a BJ..
