Trump, stirring up more chaos in final stretch, may be exhausting the voters he needs

KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. — In the final throes of an increasingly daunting reelection campaign, President Trump is revving up his rally schedule and whipping his supporters into a frenzy with the type of nonstop outrage that helped make him the most polarizing political figure of his time.

He suggested the governor of Michigan, already the target of an alleged kidnapping plot, should be jailed. He expressed indifference to the shooting of a former Arizona congresswoman. He blasted the nation’s top infectious disease expert as “a disaster.” He baselessly called former Vice President Joe Biden a “criminal,” and urged his attorney general to investigate him.

To Trump, turning the volume up to 11 is an instinct, and a near guarantee he will be the center of attention. But to the rest of the country, particularly voters he needs to close a 10-percentage-point polling gap, there is growing evidence of exhaustion that may cost him crucial votes.

“The childish personality lost its humor when — I don’t know — just about a year or two and it like became real and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” said Josh Peterson, a 24-year-old surfboard builder from Kitty Hawk, N.C., who didn’t vote in the last election but now plans to vote for Biden in a swing state that could determine the presidency.

1. It's a vote for Hope vs. a vote for Dope.

Anyone that decides to vote for another 4 years of madness is beyond redemption.

2. He's a very sick man.

And every day he gets sicker.

3. He might be infecting them too.

And that 24-year-old (obviously white) surfboard builder has a weird sense of humor if he thought T's personality was ever funny.

5. Nobody really wants to vote for a loser.

And Trump is acting like the world's biggest whining loser. It's repellent.

6. Probably why he got sent off to the military academy as a kid. His parents were exhausted.

7. He's a Roid

addict, steroids and Adderall what a combo. He's demented and delusional.
