Chuck Darwin<p>Donald Trump is in full meltdown mode. <br>Could he destroy his own campaign? </p><p>Whatever Trump does to manage his stress, I imagine he’s doing a lot of it right now. <br>The convicted felon has had a terrible three weeks. <br>Ever since Joe Biden dropped out of the race, things have been going rapidly downhill for Trump. <br>His campaign had been built around bashing Biden, whose frailty and questionable mental acuity made him an easy target. </p><p>With the far more energetic and coherent <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kamala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kamala</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harris</span></a> as his opponent, Trump clearly doesn’t know what to do. </p><p>His campaign now seems to consist of nothing but <a href="https://c.im/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a>, the revival of old <a href="https://c.im/tags/grudges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grudges</span></a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/conspiracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conspiracy</span></a> theories and <a href="https://c.im/tags/insults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>insults</span></a>.</p><p>This strategy isn’t exactly working out for him. <br>A New York Times/Siena College <a href="https://c.im/tags/poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poll</span></a> published on Saturday found Harris four points ahead in the crucial battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. </p><p>This is a big deal: when Biden was the nominee, Trump was either always slightly ahead in those states or the two men were neck and neck. <br>It’s not just the polls that have shifted, <a href="https://c.im/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>media</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/coverage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coverage</span></a> has, too. <br>A month ago, every headline seemed to be questioning Biden’s mental competence; <br>now, headlines are focused on <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/unhinged" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unhinged</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rambling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rambling</span></a>.</p><p>While Harris’s campaign has huge momentum and exudes competence, <br>Trump is embroiled in chaos. <br>One of the latest debacles? <br>He was <a href="https://c.im/tags/hacked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hacked</span></a>. <br>In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the hack was “by the Iranian Government” and added: <br>“Never a nice thing to do!” <br>No – but it provides a good opportunity to remind everyone that Trump’s Twitter (now X) account was compromised in 2020 by Victor Gevers who successfully guessed the password was “<a href="https://c.im/tags/maga2020" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maga2020</span></a>!” <br>This was after the ethical hacker hacked Trump’s Twitter in 2016 by guessing the password was “<a href="https://c.im/tags/yourefired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yourefired</span></a>”, the catchphrase from The Apprentice. <br>⭐️The man who wants voters to think he can manage national security can’t even manage his own passwords⭐️</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/aug/13/donald-trump-full-meltdown-mode-could-he-destroy-his-own-campaign?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/commentisfree/</span><span class="invisible">article/2024/aug/13/donald-trump-full-meltdown-mode-could-he-destroy-his-own-campaign?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</span></a></p>
