Donald IS Worried…..

I don’t care if the pundits and pollsters keep hedging their bets and posting that Trump has a slight lead…..

They’re worried that like in 2016 and 2020 Trump actually did better than the polls…..

But?

Trump, the sitting president LOST four years ago ….

He knows that….

Away from the media spotlight?

Donald J. Trump IS SCARED,…

He SHOULD BE….

He has a LOT riding on getting his old job back…

Failing to do so is gonna cost him power, prestige, money and maybe even jail time…

Donald Trump’s team is projecting confidence in the days before what looks to be a coin-flip election, but Trump is anxious, asking more questions about his status and demanding more work from his aides, a campaign official close to him tells Axios.

Why it matters: Trump’s restlessness has helped shape his recent strategy, from flashy rallies and media stunts — which he enjoys — to headline-making allegations of voter fraud, his pet obsession.

Zoom in: Trump was boosted Thursday by an internal memo from Tony Fabrizio, the chief pollster for all three of Trump’s presidential campaigns, that said Trump is in a better position to win this election than he was at this time in 2020.

• But beneath the surface, Trump’s anxiety is evident in his late-night and early morning calls to aides in which he peppers them with questions on how things are going — and whether they think he’ll win.

His restlessness is shared by others in his party. Some conservatives are sounding alarms about what they see as disappointing turnout among men in early voting.

• That’s important in a gender-divided election such as this one, in which polls suggest most male voters will support Trump and most women voters are likely to back Kamala Harris.

“Early vote has been disproportionately female. If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple,” Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk posted on X….

• Trump already has said that if he loses the election he’ll blameRepublican National Committee chair Michael Whatley, who put together the “election integrity” unit with Lara Trump, the ex-president’s daughter-in-law.
• The campaign’s political director, James Blair, also has been increasingly visible on TV, podcasts and digital media.
• During his appearances Blair has been reciting positive poll numbers and defending a political operation that some Republicans have criticized for being too slow to build out a field program.
