KEY REASONS TRUMP’S RE-ELECTION EFFORTS HAVE FAILED

Understanding how President Trump has personally sabotaged his own reelection

 

OK, it’s time to look at all the corrupt schemes that Donald Trump has tried and failed to help his re-election efforts. 

Let’s take a look at just a short list of Trump’s actions to date, and how they failed.  It is important to look at his schemes that have back-fired and have done him even worse harm.

Trump’s vaccine scheme implodes: The White House has now agreed under political pressure, to the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines for vaccine trials.  This is after trying to block them for weeks. The FDA timetable requires for two months to pass, after participants in vaccine trials take their final dose, all but scuttling any authorization before the election.

Trump had repeatedly tried to rush the process to boost his reelection. This has made it all politically more damaging.  It forced many stakeholders, such as the biotech industry and administration scientists, to loudly demand an uncorrupted process.  This reverse is spotlighting Trump’s own corruption.

Trump blows up Econ-Stimulus: Trump angrily terminated talks over a new stimulus package on, only to abruptly reverse and tweet out demands that Congress approve aid to the airline industry and direct cash payments to individuals.

Signing a big stimulus would have delivered a political boost, and Trump knows this.  But he corruptly insisted on putting his signature on a previous round of checks.  Now Trump has placed himself on the hook for killing desperately needed aid just as the economy goes further into the tank.  This has reminded the voters of his tendency to try to make complex, consequential policy by the way of his erratic, ineffective, self-contradictory rage of tweeting.

Trump wrecks all public goodwill for himself: When Trump tested positive for the coronavirus, he might have seized the moment to admit error; to actually show some humility and humanity toward its victims.  Instead, Trump launched a display of megalo-maniacal propaganda that cast his supposed personal triumph over the virus as a function of his alleged strength.  This is an insult to the dead Americans and the bereaved.

His cultish theatrics for supporters outside the hospital with his useless “joy ride” needlessly put others at risk. And that was the basis of the story about the hospital joy ride.  Now, Trump is still resisting further protective protocols in the White House, even as the coronavirus spreads among his top advisers. All this just reminds Americans of his repeated, reckless handling of the virus for the past many months..

The nomination of Amy Coney Barrett: is now implicated in the coronavirus nomination event. When Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died, observers proclaimed Trump had an opening to change the subject from coronavirus. But when Trump introduced his replacement nominee at last weekend’s largely mask-free White House event, it infected a number of people with the virus, including two GOP senators.  And Judge Barrett brought her 7 children to the event that exposed them directly to the Coronavirus.

This is the direct result of Trump’s depraved requirement that all Republicans treat the virus either as no biggie or as largely being over, due to his “spectacular leadership”.  They were to show this by shunning social distancing and putting their own lives at risk.  We all know how well that worked for both him and his supporters.

Trump’s attack on Vote-By-Mail:  Efforts to corrupt vote-by-mail have seriously backfired. Trump and Attorney General William Barr have spent months telling all kinds of lies about vote-by-mail fraud, to lay the groundwork for Trump to declare victory just after Election Day, while seeking to delegitimize millions of uncounted mail ballots.

But the telegraphing of such corrupt designs has helped increase an enormous amount of early voting and early mail-balloting, in which Democrats have a large registration advantage, as Republicans have warned would happen. Experts say this will help avert the massive mail-voting overload around Election Day that could have produced the delays Trump had hoped to exploit.

Trump’s “law and order” idea has died. Trump’s top law enforcement and national security officials used their positions to lend official credence to manufactured impressions of a full-scale, organized, violent leftist terror threat, in keeping with Trump’s campaign narratives.

But the Department of Homeland Security whistleblower helped disrupt this effort by revealing that higher-ups in the Trump administration had pressed for the manipulation of intelligence to bolster Trump’s story line. And polls have since shown Biden favored on crime and safety.  This is because the voters grasped the idea that Trump is actively working on increasing violent civil conflict.

“Nail Hunter Biden” flops. Trump and his propagandists spent months teasing negative accusations about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.  They did this while openly banking on a phony GOP Senate investigation to manufacture illusions of Biden corruption.

But that probe’s final report was a total bust.  And all the hype only drew more attention to the profound corruption of demanding such blatant manipulation of the congressional investigative process.

This brings us to … impeachment.  Let’s not forget that Trump’s zeal to manufacture such Biden corruption led him to try to strong-arm a foreign ally under extreme duress into announcing investigations that would validate those narratives, for which he was impeached.

That’s a reminder that Trump has been working to place the levers of government at all levels in the hands of his reelection campaign for upward of two years.  In retrospect, the Ukraine scandal set the template for all the corruption that would follow, as shown above.  

Yes, all the items above are the miserable Trump failures in trying to get away with it all, and to put it over all American voters.

We’ll see if any of this worked on November 3^rd .
