Isn't He Supposed To Be, I Dunno, Campaigning?

In the last hour, Trump has made 49 social media posts - mostly about his cases. But he’s totally not worried and everything is fine.

He announced early, he dominated the polls, he refused to attend the first GOP debate OR sign a pledge to support whoever the GOP candidate is, and he keeps claiming his indictments are "election interference!" But 2023 is not an election year and every other GOP candidate is on TeeVee somewhere or spending weeks in Iowa and Trump....

...is posting 49 posts to social media about his criminal cases?  Is that interfering with his ability to fund-raise and attend rallies and give speeches, or just explain what his policies will be in Trump 2.0?

He seems to pretty much think he's a shoo-in and he doesn't need to lower himself to being sullied by his opponents by even being seen in public with them.  Which is fine with me, but what's this "election interference" he keeps talking about, when he brags that every indictment raises his poll numbers?

Many people strongly say this 1920 Debs button can serve as a template for 2024 Trump buttons, believe me pic.twitter.com/tsgpBHURSb

Yeah, I'll believe that line about poll numbers when I see these pins going around.  And that $7 million he says (!) he's raised from the Georgia mugshot?  He'll need that just on pre-trial practice in Georgia and D.C.  Especially if he pushes Lauro to take the trial date to the D.C. appellate court.

Or is the media doing it for him?

Do the "Biden is too old" people understand that right-wingers will use their prejudice playbook on *any* Democrat that runs? There is no straight white young cis Christian man out there who is immune from being smeared by people who traffic in smears. https://t.co/7SsWwkGNnP

I heard about this poll on MSNBC, where they chewed it over after noting that the follow up question (apparently in this poll) is: "So would you vote for Trump because of Biden's age?", and the overwhelming answer (in paraphrase) was: "Oh, hell, no!"

Gotta keep those horses running somehow.

And gotta keep overlooking the fact, despite announcing his candidacy in mid-November of 2022, Trump is not....campaigning. (or that much younger than Biden)
