The Trump train is running out of steam

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Does Donald Trump seem … different lately? If you’ve been wondering why the former president has been acting especially bizarre since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid, you aren’t alone.

Trump’s recent campaign events, the few he’s held, have veered further into the incoherent, even for a guy who routinely forgets the name of his own doctor.

Trump has also held far fewer rallies this August than he did at the same point in 2016 or 2020, and his laid-back schedule has some MAGA insiders worried that their candidate is blowing it for the GOP just as Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign prepares for an all-out sprint to November.

Harris’ surging poll numbers have clearly thrown the 78-year-old Trump off his game. Voters seem to be noticing his light campaign schedule—and they’re punishing the entire Republican Party for it in the polls. If that trend holds, the GOP’s summer vacation will end up costing them dearly in November.

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets slammed with bombshell bad news as a dozen lawyers from Republican administrations formally endorse Kamala Harris — and brutally trash MAGA.

This is utterly humiliating...

"We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter shared with Fox News Digital.

The letter was timed for release today, just a day after Harris delivered her historic nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. The lawyers served in the Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations.

The lawyers "urge all patriotic Republicans, former Republicans, conservative and center-right citizens, and independent voters to place love of country above party and ideology and join us in supporting Kamala Harris."

"Donald Trump’s own Vice President and multiple members of his Administration and White House Staff at the most senior levels – as well as former Republican nominees for President and Vice President – have already declined to endorse his reelection," they wrote.

They also zeroed in on "the profound risks presented by his [Trump's] potential return to public office. Indeed, Trump’s own Attorney General and National Security Adviser have said unequivocally that Donald Trump is unfit for office, dangerous, and detached from reality."

"Trump’s attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after losing the election proved beyond any reasonable doubt his willingness to place his personal interests above the law and values of our constitutional democracy," they added.

"We cannot go along with other former Republican officials who have condemned Trump with these devastating judgments but are still not willing to vote for Harris," they wrote. "We believe this election presents a binary choice, and Trump is utterly disqualified."

According to them, Trump "was guilty of grave wrongdoing to our Constitution, democracy, and rule of law, and who remains unfit, dangerous, and detached from reality."

We are witnessing Donald Trump's campaign collapse before our very eyes. Keep up the pressure and continue to loudly voice your support for Harris, we're going to win this thing!

7. Lawyers from Reagan, Bush administrations endorse Harris in 2024 race

While Donald Trump picked up support from RFK Jr., Kamala Harris received endorsements from lawyers who worked in the Reagan and Bush administrations.

Around the same time as Kennedy’s news, however, some lawyers who lack famous names made a notable endorsement of their own. Fox News reported:

A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her race against GOP nominee former President Donald Trump.

“We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country,” the lawyers wrote in a letter that the signatories shared first with Fox News Digital.

The signatories added that “we urge all patriotic Republicans, former Republicans, conservative and center-right citizens, and independent voters to place love of country above party and ideology and join us in supporting Kamala Harris.”.....

The endorsement from Friday came on the heels of Harris also picking up a variety of other Republican endorsements and Democrats including some GOP speakers at the party’s convention in Chicago.

Indeed, Friday’s bookend endorsements were emblematic of the broader message the Harris campaign wants to convey to the electorate: Trump picked up support from a fringe anti-vaccine activist, while the Democratic nominee received support from lawyers from Republican administrations who want to put country over party.

For Democrats pushing the “normal vs. weird” message, the developments were entirely on-message.

grand old time writing lyrics about the bad end of the Trump train: blown cylinders, leaky tender, a train that lost track because the ties that bound pulled apart.
