Sources on convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign tell the Bulwark the Orange God Emperor knew his Sunday morning rally speech in Lititz, Pennsylvania – in which he said he wouldn’t mind if reporters got shot in another assassination attempt on him, called Iowa pollster Ann Selzer an “enemy,” and overall sounded like he thought he’s going to lose was a disaster and that his aides gently counseled him to try not to act like that again at the other two rallies that day.
“He knew after he got off stage,” said a minion. “There wasn’t a come-to-Jesus talk with Trump. We don’t have those, really. It was just making adjustments on the fly, kind of typical,” said another, despite describing it as kind of all-hands with his top team gathering around him after co-chair Susie Wiles kept trying to make eye contact with Donald while he was rambling endlessly on stage.
“This was as much about pushing back on the media as it was placating the boss. He was infuriated,” said one of the minions, detailing how “Sunday morning sucked” after the triple dickpunch of Vice President Kamala Harris’s Saturday Night Live appearance (which apparently meant creator Lorne Michaels had broken a promise not to have either candidate), the Selzer Iowa poll finding Harris up 47 to 44 in a not-swing state, and the New York Times swing state polls finding leads for Harris sufficient for an Electoral College victory. What’s funny about this sourcing is that none of them even bothered mentioning the Trump +10 Emerson poll that, publicly at least, was supposed to cancel it out, which should tell you how much they actually believed that shit, lol.
