Occam’s Razor.
The simplest answer is usually correct.
That would be that he is unable/unwilling to stop, unable to decide to stop for his and his campaigns good and the good of many loyal supporters who are cringing. This goes to judgement, temperament, decision-making skill and ability. It does not lend confidence that lessons were learned about horrendous choices made in personnel in the first term that served his administration and our Country poorly. Yes he was limited in who could be confirmed and was surely being dictated to from deep state on that regard. The biggest question these remarks raises is have lessons been sufficiently learned that there is a sound and thoughtful plan to learn and move forward if given a second administration? I voted for President Trump twice and support him now but I have zero desire to see a flailing administration be sabotaged again by weasels or worse that he cannot depend on. It would be a wasted exercise and a tragedy for our Country. Am I sure there is someone besides President Trump who COULD put together a winning coalition of voters against the “give us free sh*t” army of dem voters and a much heavier-hitter dem ticket than Biden/Harris? No.
It’s almost as if Trump wants DeSantis, because everytime he speaks out against him, it just winds up helping DeSantis.
