it's been covered recently that the reason he keeps doing outside rallies this time around is because he still has outstanding bills for venues all over battleground states from the previous election; it might also be relevant that it's easier to lie about crowd sizes outdoors as opposed to indoor venues with stated capacities.
in summary, he's even more of a clown than ever.
He still owes El Paso, Texas roughly half a million.^[1] It's no wonder venues are hesitant to have him back. Though Trump's been stiffing workers and employees his whole life so the bigger wonder is that they trusted him to begin with.
Is there a reason this hasn't caught up to him? Isn't this theft of service, or fraud of some point with a clear, and intentional pattern? Why the fuck does this dude of all people seem to have the cheat code to do whatever the fuck he pleases? When is it enough?
While Trump has acknowledged the race is closer than before Biden dropped out, his aides believe that Harris remains relatively unknown and that efforts to highlight her past statements and the positions she took in previous races will turn off swing voters after her honeymoon period ends.
Harris "relatively unknown?" Really? And it's been exactly one month since Biden stepped down. In the modern 24 hour news cycle, that's an eternity of a "honeymoon period."
Especially when you consider low information voters (which I expect have similar knowledge to high information voters from other countries).
Her honeymoon period will end as soon as she sits down and does a few serious and unscripted interviews about policy, which she has managed to avoid so far. At the moment it's pure vibes, but at some point you need to get into the business of explaining what you would do and being challenged on it. That will generate lots of attack angles and media stories, both good and bad.
I don't think you can say the vice president is "unknown." Everyone has a general sense of her stances on things. It would be hard for her not to be a better unscripted speaker than Trump.
