Is Trump TRYING to lose the election?

Speaker 1: I want to raise a question and  have us think about it a little bit. Is   Donald Trump trying to lose the election? In a few  minutes, we're going to talk about the supposedly   restarting of Trump's campaign. It's crazy to  be in a situation in almost September where you   have to restart a presidential campaign. But put  that aside for a moment. Is it possible that Trump   just doesn't want to do this, but for ego and  narcissism reasons, he can't just say, hey, you   know what, I'm dropping out or whatever. So he's  kind of just trying to lose. The independent has   an interesting article. Trump aides desperately  trying to stop him golfing and focus on the   election, as critics say he's, quote, lost his  critics, says he's lost his mojo. This article,   as I'm sure you can imagine, outlines how Donald  Trump seems to be phoning it in. He's running a   low energy campaign. It's undisciplined. He's  the few rallies he's holding often end up   being in places where he's going to win easily,  like Montana. It just doesn't make any sense.   We should at least consider that Donald Trump is  miserable and sees the threat that Kamala Harris   poses to him, and he's kind of given up, and he's  going to mostly play golf and promote, you know,   Melania's latest book or whatever stupid thing  and is actually kind of hoping that he loses,   but he'll say he won. And that's a critical part  of considering whether this is a strategy. Almost   every single political and election expert we  spoken to says Trump's going to claim he won,   even if he loses, and the fact that he still  claims he won the popular vote in 2016,   which he didn't, and the fact that he still  claims he won in 2020 even though he didn't,   and the fact that he's already saying the only way  Democrats can win in November is if they lose. All   of that does suggest he's going to claim victory,  even if he loses. So maybe the face saving way   to be able to spend his remaining years  playing golf at Bedminster in Mar-A-Lago,   rather than mired in political muck at  the white House, is to stay in this thing,   but not really campaign, and just let Kamala  Harris defeat him. That's the premise that I raise   to you here. But I also want to talk about the  news. It's a again, it's a crazy headline. I also   want to talk about the news that Trump is going to  start campaigning again. Let's discuss that next.
