Trump looks like something he’s never been before, something that undercuts everything that has made him mesmerizing: he looks like he’s trying. Worse, he looks like he’s trying and it’s not working
Donald Trump speaks during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Aug. 8 in Palm Beach, Fla. Polls currently show a close race between Trump and Democratic presidential candidate, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
Then, he was the election loser in denial who could commandeer a marauding army at will. Most recently, he was the increasingly inevitable vengeance candidate with a just-add-water autocracy kit in his back pocket.and his opponents or detractors would do, as if both sides were autonomous actors on equal footing. It was about how everyone else would cope with Mr. Trump, as though they were livestock cowering on an open plain and he was a weather system blowing through.
But Mr. Trump’s unravelling is about something more profound than his historically weak opponent being replaced by one who’s proved more adept than anyone predicted. It’s not so muchhas happened as how it’s unmoored him and exposed weaknesses in his political persona that were hidden before. The Donald Trump experience has always been about extreme, unapologetic, undiluted Trumpiness. It’s why his fans worship him as their truth-teller and freedom fighter, and why his haters loathe him as he refused to bow to their mewling loser energy. It’s why nobody could look away.
Mr. Trump seems to know this on some flailing level, though he doesn’t seem aware of how thoroughly he’s exposing his soft, pale undercarriage every time he publicly yearns to still run against Mr. Biden. The first 15 minutes of his speech at the Republican National Convention was magnetic as he recounted, in lurid detail, his brush with an assassin’s bullet days earlier. But the hour of lethargic verbal meandering that followed came courtesy of the calmer, more measured Trump his advisers had spent the week promising.
