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.
