And really, who can blame them? There are certain norms and standards and protocols that people just associate with the bearing of the office. Even that drooling half-a-moron Joe Biden has the good sense to just disappear sometimes. It is quite literally the only thing he's good at.
I remember I used to pray that Trump would just stay off Twitter when things were going okay. But sure as hell, there he was tweeting about Joe Scarborough's ditzy wife bleeding from her chin at Mar-A-Lago from plastic surgery.
Time and again I heard even the most die-hard Trump supporters say they wished he would stay the hell off Twitter or turn his Twitter account over to a staffer who was halfway literate. But just like those ridiculous COVID press conferences, he could never not be the center of attention, even when it was a train wreck.
I just feel if Trump had said they stole the election, but took it gracefully and indeed acted “presidential” he would loom as a powerful figure in contrast to the Biden disaster.
Sometimes you need to be confident that you’ve established your street creds, and let your supporters speak up for you, which they would do.
