He’s lost the juice, and it’s showing.

Ah, Donald Trump.

I think a lot of people envisioned he was going to struggle with the adjustment of no longer campaigning against Joe Biden more than he said he would. I mean, it would be an adjustment for any politician, going from having Joe Biden at this point in his career as your opponent to Kamala Harris, who swept in and brought all the momentum with her. It’s been weeks and well, none of that has changed and in fact, it’s only getting worse.

The more time goes on, the more obvious it’s become that Donald Trump not only doesn’t know how to campaign against her, he’s struggling to hide the frustration.

Brett Samuels with The Hill writes:

“Former President Trump on Thursday dismissed calls from allies for him to refocus on policy, saying he was “entitled to personal attacks” against Vice President Harris as polls show her erasing his polling lead.

Trump held a press conference at his Bedminster, N.J., property, where he delivered remarks for close to an hour before taking questions from reporters. He was asked by multiple journalists about criticism from some Republicans that he needs to be more disciplined and lay off the personal attacks on his opponent.
