Trump Has No Strategy at All

November 12, 2020 · 8:02 pm ET · Leave a Comment

New York Times: “There is no grand strategy at play, according to interviews with a half-dozen advisers and people close to the president. Mr. Trump is simply trying to survive from one news cycle to the next, seeing how far he can push his case against his defeat and ensure the continued support of his Republican base.”

“By dominating the story of his exit from the White House, he hopes to keep his millions of supporters energized and engaged for whatever comes next.”

“The president has insisted to aides that he really defeated Joe Biden on Nov. 3, but it is unclear whether he actually believes it.”
