Former President Donald Trump has been surprisingly quiet in recent days, lessening his normal barrage of personal attacks towards President Joe Biden just as Democrats are frantically huddling to plan a path forward for the party.
Since the debate with the presidents last Thursday, chaos has engulfed the White House as staffers, reporters and lawmakers down the road on Capitol Hill are wondering if Biden is capable of running for reelection.
Trump has made the rounds posting polls that prove positive for the former president and claimed a recent Supreme Court ruling as a victory but has less so gone on the attack against Biden's age.
The former president is known for his fierce criticism of his opponents, and just when Biden appears to be his weakest, Trump seems to be laying off and letting the Democrats handle the situation.
'I'm gonna show up and, you know, I'm gonna campaign, whether it's him (Biden) or somebody else,' he said this week.

You are brilliant as usual as shown by our posts of this saying mere moments apart here.
Good idea for Trump to let the Dems knock themselves out
A few hours after the debate, I wrote:

1) ... As far as I’m concerned, the intent was the exposure of Biden’s limitations.
2) ... Trump was effectively a prop, and we were simply observers.
The debate didn’t concern us directly.
Idiot writer just answered his own question.....LOL!
EXACTLY!!
You are brilliant as well. :)
Nah. I doubt it. His campaign team told him to do this. So he's being disciplined.
He’s still commenting on Truth Social. Let’s not fool ourselves, Trumps will always be Trump.
Trump is a smart guy don’t give the media ONE WORD out of his mouth to report on and taking the attention off of senile Joe!!!
I wasn’t clear. I meant during the debate itself. He didn’t charge down Biden’s throat at his goofy answers and/or lack thereof.
Never interrupt your enemy when he is destroying himself.
^^This^^
DJT is a better politician this time around. Hmmm.
They want Trump to say something - anything - they can demonize so they can change the subject.
Absolutely.
Stage 5 TDS.
We can only hope!
I think President Trump was truly surprised at how bad Biden was—and actually felt sorry for the guy.
That was President Trump’s body language during much of the debate.
Nobody wants to humiliate a senile geezer.
Trump is smart enough to realize that he shouldn't interject himself into this drama.

Very, very interesting reading...
I'm hoping he picks someone interesting, relatively young but stable, who brings eloquence to the table and can express the goals of the new administration in a way that people enjoy listening to. Trump fights an uphill battle in that respect, his verbal mannerisms often get in his own way, so a sidekick who knows how to give a more coherent speech would be a good contrast.
Not another old white guy, please(*). And of course someone who would make a good president in 2028.
Ramaswamy is good in those respects. Frankly, so is Gabbard, IMO. With the right choice, he can mop the decks with the Dem nominees come election time.
(*) I get to say that. I'm an old (72) white guy, after all.
