I made a post on this August 14th….
I’m NOT the only one thinking this….
Republican nominee Several former aides who have known Trump for years said he always preferred to keep a lighter schedule in August, when his family visited Bedminster and he usually golfed almost every day.
But aides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said….
…
“Donald Trump immediately melted down and hasn’t recovered since,” Harris-Walz spokeswoman Sarafina Chitika said. “Voters are watching an unhinged and unserious man rant on Truth Social, rave on Fox News and hold bizarre rallies where he rambles for hours about his own problems and throws out strange and dangerous ideas.”
Trump’s campaign logged mentions of his name during the Democratic convention, hoping to depict the Democratic Party as less focused on policy and more on being obsessed with him. Across hundreds of name-drops, DNC convention speakers described Trump as a narcissist, a criminal, a charlatan, a race-baiter and more in searing speeches suggesting he remains the unifying target of the Democratic Party.
Most of his allies offered little defense of his character. There was no rapid response operation to respond to Democratic criticism that he inspired a riot at the U.S. Capitol, paid hush money to an adult film actress or was found liable for sexual abuse. Instead, surrogates and aides attacked Harris and Walz for not addressing Republican policy priorities and made a website portraying Harris’s policy record in a negative light….
Note….

I don’t believe Trump has” given up.”
What I think has happened is that Trump is having trouble adjusting to running against Kamala Harris rather than Joe Biden.
There have been numerous articles on news sites about this and even Trumps staff have conceded that.
That to……
But the guy does seem to have lost his enthusiasm for the race….
He’s scheduled for more campaigning going forward but he’s gonna hear and see Harris poll numbers climbing and a unfriendly press…
They don’t need just him anymore….
THAT is a downer for his ego
Trump hasn’t given up. But he can’t change.
Giving up
Can’t change
6 of one half dozen of the other.

A receipt for DEFEAT

How Trump Keeps Undermining His Own Strategy
“Donald Trump’s campaign, under pressure from Vice President Harris’ rise in the polls, is facing a persistent challenge from within: Trump himself, and his tendency to undermine his own strategy,” Axios reports.
“The ‘Trump will be Trump’ dynamic has been evident throughout 2024. But as the campaign heads into a nine-week sprint to Nov. 5, his off-script whims appear to be increasingly throwing mud on his advisers’ game plans.”
