Is Donald OK? Former president unusually quiet as Joe Biden clouded with controversies as Democrats panic

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.

Its role reversal from 2020.

Assuming Joe stays in the race, perhaps the best strategy for Trump is to stay in the basement just like Joe did last time around.

He’s smart enough to know that the whole thing is unstable. At this point he should limit his ad buys because he does not know where this is going.

The big rallies are good—they just need to focus on issues and not personalities, the positives of a Trump presidency more than the negatives of the opposition.

The negatives can be saved for vicious attack ads by surrogates (like whoever the VP pick is).

I’ve read the Art of War, and have a copy. I don’t recall that as a rule.

It’s not very big, I’ll look later..............

You’re sounding like a whackjob theorist. Trump is Trump and he is his own man.

The gag order on Trump from his evil criminal trial has actually helped him. He has learned a little bit of mouthing-off self-control, which is advantageous in winning over undecided voters.

Yeah. It’d be a hoot if he said something critical of Joe and the left started screaming “elder abuse.”

I always believed it was Sun Tzu in “The Art Of War”, but I didn’t hear him say it so maybe not. :-)

What you said, also being careful not to get himself into the middle of their mess by commenting on any of it. Maybe he’s learning. Praying....
