Nothing is ever Donald's fault, that's why he can't learn from mistakes, because in his mind, he makes none. Someone else is to blame for Donald's bad judgement and retardation, looks like he might axe the Brain trust. Donald is in full panic mode, he's flailing and thrashing about in desperation, the pathological habitual behavior continues, in Donald's groundhog day life where predictable reactions and behaviors just repeat. Donald often impulsively blurts out his thinking (to the extent he can think) and intentions in public and more often in private, which is probably why we know what's in that tiny damaged brain. If Donald fires Parscale, he will fuck himself and his online campaign, Brad is Donald's digital brain and I'm sure he knows some things, illegal things and illegal plans too, look for Brad's book.

After a botched response to two national crises, Trump’s polls are cratering, and “no one is telling him what he wants to hear,” says a source, igniting a new round of grumbling about Kushner.

“HE’S GOING TO BROOM KUSHNER AND PARSCALE”: “MALIGNANTLY CRAZY” ABOUT BAD POLL NUMBERS, TRUMP IS THINKING OF REPLACING HIS SON-IN-LAW
After a botched response to two national crises, Trump’s polls are cratering, and “no one is telling him what he wants to hear,” says a source, igniting a new round of grumbling about Kushner.
In
Donald Trump’s West Wing, being a member of the Trump family has historically been the ultimate job security. But that truism is being stress-tested after a run of polls consistently show Trump losing to
Joe Biden at this stage of the race—a
CNN poll this morning has him down 14 points. According to a source close to the White House, Trump has mulled taking oversight of the campaign away from his son-in-law
Jared Kushner. “Trump is malignantly crazy about the bad poll numbers,” a former West Wing official said. “He’s going to broom Kushner and
[Brad] Parscale—the numbers are not getting better,” a Republican close to the campaign said.
Long before the reelection campaign went sideways, Trump frequently blew up at Kushner. For instance, former West Wing officials recall how Trump hated when Kushner received too much positive press (In January, Trump was
rankled when Kushner’s portrait graced the cover of
Time). “Any time Jared is in the papers, Trump complains, ‘We have to get Jared back to New York!’” said a Republican who heard Trump make the comment. In the end, the source cautioned that Trump won’t push Kushner out. “This is typical with him and Jared,” the source said.
(The White House did not respond to requests for comment. Kushner declined to comment.)
The polling has gotten worse because Trump still hasn’t figured out how to handle the politics of the protest movement sparked by the police killing of George Floyd. Axios
reported the campaign is debating whether Trump should talk about national unity. Trump took some solace in last week’s
unemployment report, which was less horrendous than many economists expected. “He was in a good mood, he thinks the jobs numbers will turn things around,” said a Republican that spoke with Trump.
Last week, Trump’s former defense secretary
James Mattis released a blistering
statement criticizing Trump’s use of military force to clear peaceful protesters from Lafayette Square so Trump could stage a
photo op outside of a church. Mattis had agonized for months about whether to speak out, a person close to him told me. Mattis told people that Trump is a “proto-neofascist” but Mattis worried it would politicize the military if he denounced Trump. “Mattis’s thinking was, you can’t involve the military in politics, plus Trump could go haywire,” said the source. But Lafayette Square changed his thinking.

Over the weekend, Trump called around to New York friends and outside advisers in hopes they would validate Trump’s belief that the polls are wrong. “He’s asking people to agree with him that the polls are biased. But no one is telling him what he wants to hear,” said a Republican briefed on the calls. Republicans know how bad things are, but the party still believes sticking with Trump is the best bet for holding the Senate. Last week,
Mitch McConnell told Republican senators that they couldn’t abandon Trump, according to a source. McConnell reminded Republicans that former New Hampshire senator
Kelly Ayotte lost her 2016 reelection bid after
breaking with Trump over the
Access Hollywood video.
(Through a spokesperson, McConnell denied making the comment.)
