re: #129 Welcome to The Imbleachment (dangerman)
It’s a subconscious admission that Trump, on some level, recognizes he’s failing and that even his diehard supporters aren’t going to be enough to save his ass. He’s giving up and probably trying to think up his next grift.
And he’s given up before. When he sees there’s no way he can win (or try to spin something as a “win” in his mind) he walks away, usually leaving some poor schmuck holding the bag.
