The acting president claims he does not drink. That does not mean he is not addicted. And not necessarily to Adderall.
Top surrogates for the Trump campaign have been told to keep their Novembers clear for potential campaign events. And Trump campaign advisers said not to rule out the possibility Trump continues his rallies even as election officials continue to count ballots after the Nov. 3 election, according to a campaign surrogate and two Trump advisers.
He is not just incompetent, dishonest, heartless, corrupt, cruel, and weak. He is also insecure and needy.
With the possibility that there might not be a clear winner on election night in key swing states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina, the campaign has discussed putting Trump and his family on the road to give a morale boost to supporters and let the president fire off about the election to crowds.
“Don’t miscount the fact that Trump will continue to do rallies while they’re still counting votes,” said one adviser to the Trump campaign.
Nothing definitive, Trump aides say, and the campaign itself did not respond to Politico’s request for comment.
But if results are not definitive on Nov. 3, he might clutch his adulation security blanket all the tighter. He could incite followers (infected or not) in Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Nevada to throw themselves bodily against the doors of local elections offices to stop the vote count.
Republicans have done it before.
