He had a commission. The blue states would not cooperate. Remember?
Trump failed to mobilize the legions of his supporters to take meaningful action supporting election integrity. His advisers sucked. But Trump was ultimately responsible for for not getting better ones. And he needed direct action and not go through the deep state R party.
Now Trump MUST form a new party, but he probably still has crappy advisers telling him not to do this.
Trump’s biggest issue, as revealed in the COVID fiasco, is that he didn’t have strategic thinkers. Look, India had a proper strategic COVID response — give everyone a free COVID prevention kit at $2.65 each. If Trump has done that, the shut down would have been very short. The whole China Plan would have unraveled. On March 20 he said about HCQ “I feel good about it.” His gut feeling was better than a thousand “advisers.”
