I’m sure trump feels like if anyone can pull off a miracle, it’s him - but I just can’t see a situation where he is able to increase his popularity after everything that’s happened. There are fewer trump voters today than there were in 2016, and he lost that popular election, too. I almost wonder if he’s doing this to stick it to Republicans, who he probably feels didn’t do enough to support him. Even his own daughter knows this is a bad move. It’s not going to end well. He’s delusional.

A lot of truth here. He doesn't even have a campiagn staff yet. His base is shrinking rapidly. Not to be too crass, but Covid killed off tens of thousands of votes for him as it was mostly his people who felt they didn't need a vacine or that taking basic medical precautions (masks, 6 feet) was somehow an insult to the very fabric of their soul. and we'll see how long he stays in now that the GOP isn't paying his legal bills as long as he is a canidate. I'm almost glad he's running. Don't get me wrong, I'm a little scared he'll somehow win, but to see his face when he looses again, well, that will almost make it worth it all.
