Agree with your view but unfortunately it's not 'all he has'.
The real danger lies not with Trump as such but in the support he receives, from the Murdoch media empire, the unholy alliance with Musk, his obeisance to Putin, and the cult like status he has with a section of the electorate. He has successfully reduced political discourse to the lowest possible level and created a culture of non-accounability and total disregard for facts.
That said I believe Harris will beat him.
You've summed it up better than I have! I do think the electorate are starting to see through him, but it will be close. I don't think Harris is by any means a good candidate, but is a better alternative.

It's bewildering that anyone could think Trump has the credentials to get back in power.
I think he was first elected on a wave of patriotism. Despite shouting MAGA, the voting public have now seen through him. SOME have seen through him but I always think that 50% of the electorate are completely barmy and always vote for nutters ,guns and xenophobia.

It's not so much about the Undecideds, but who will motivate people who can't be bothered voting to go to the polling station? That is what will swing it for either party.

He's just trolling you now. And he's going to win.
This, he's not as stupid as he makes himself seem. He just knows stupid people like to hear stupid things.
I'd say he is stupid. Stupid, selfish and dangerous.
This is a man that inherited a casino, and lost it.
A man that despite receiving millions of dollars from his family managed to go within an inch of bankrupcy.
A man that (10 years ago) said there should be some form of punishment for women that have abortions.
A man that seriously suggested we should be injecting bleach to beat covid.
He's stupid all right, as are those that are taken in and vote for him. The fact he has found a receptive audience doesn't make him clever.

Curious now to know what percentage of the American population now genuinely believe that immigrants are eating people’s pets in Ohio.

“The frog is almost five hundred million years old. Could you really say with much certainty that America, with all its strength and prosperity, with its fighting man that is second to none, and with its standard of living that is highest in the world, will last as long as...the frog? ”
It's a load of countries held together in what was a forced union, but for how much longer? Not as long as the frog.

As you said, he has a receptive audience.
Twitter is quite a thing today. It is simply that no matter what Trump does, he can cause riots, be convicted of fraud, sexually assault women, or, in the case of last night, talk complete moronic shite, there are millions of very strange Americans who will back him to the hilt.
However, what gets overlooked is there are those who will vote for him not because they are enchanted by his cult, but simply don't like the way America is heading under the Democrats.
It's a much more conservative country and there will be many who vote for him just because he's standing up for what they believe is the American way of life.
It's a sad state.

That’s a big deal for Harris. Swift is one of the most influential people in America right now.
