How bad is it for tRump/Pence 2020? Put yourself in his shoes: why he's pulling out all the stops.

Trump sees Joe Biden as his biggest threat. The polls seem to confirm that fear, with RealClearPolitics.com showing Biden leading Trump by nearly 12 points. As CNN’s Harry Enten noted Friday on Twitter, Biden’s current standing over Trump in the polls is “unusual.”

“I’m not sure folks appreciate how unusual Biden holding a 10+ pt lead on Trump is at this point,” Enten said. “No incumbent since at least WWII was down by anything close to that at this point.”

Emboldened by congressional inaction and fearful of Joe Biden’s candidacy, Donald Trump is committing more crimes to win another presidential election.

“No incumbent since at least WWII was down by anything close to that at this point.” tRump's unpopularity is telling of his desperation.

It’s going to be exponentially more corrupt and sleazy now that he has power.

She doesn't want tRump impeached as much as she wants to see him serve time behind bars.

They wanted to keep this under wraps until Biden was nominated

But now that it is out they will still use it to hide their crimes

Look over there look over there

He wasn’t ready to win, and they all had to scramble to catch up. Now, after two and a half years, and cycling through a ton of aides, advisers and cabinet members, he’s learning how to best exploit his position for his own corrupt and felonious ends. He’s tweeting a lot more, lying at a faster rate. As Karma nips at his heels, he’s running faster and faster!
