Donald Trump, once certain of his path to a second term, now faces a
stark and unsettling truth: the race he believed was his to win is
slipping through his fingers--or may already be lost. For Trump, crowd
sizes have always been the ultimate barometer of success. Yet now, he
finds himself watching Kamala Harris--poised to become the first Asian American, Black American, and potentially the first female
president--surge ahead, drawing the kinds of crowds he dismisses as
fabricated or artificially generated.
To Trump, the presidency is more than just a seat of power; it is his
ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card, a talisman he clings to in the
face of looming legal jeopardy. But as Harris ascends in the polls,
that talisman appears to be slipping away. Widely perceived as running
to escape the consequences of multiple indictments and recent felony convictions, Trump now seems to confront the unsettling reality that
the race he once considered his by right is no longer within his
grasp.
This unraveling is not merely a political setback; it exposes deeper
mental and cognitive fractures, exacerbated by the relentless
pressures of his legal battles. The figure who once projected
unyielding power now appears increasingly adrift, both mentally and politically.
