When Richard Nixon was in deep trouble, his staff and Security Advisor took unprecedented steps to make sure he didn’t start a war to divert attention from his troubles. As paranoid as Nixon was, I doubt if he would have hit the nuclear button. He did continue to go after his enemies list until his minions had been eliminated from power.

Donald Trump is even more paranoid and must win a second term to feed his inflated ego and hold off all the federal, state, and civil investigations. His enemies list is anyone or any group that does not kiss his derriere publicly and constantly. He goes after anyone who he thinks is any kind of a threat with lies and unproven stories.

With his poll numbers dropping and the battle ground states he had won before turning away from him, what will he do to try to turn his campaign around? It has to be big to hold the Republicans in the Senate, House and supporters who are starting to weaken in support. The Ukraine says neither Joe Biden nor his son Hunter did anything wrong so that hope has faded. The economy will still be in recession with double digit unemployment. The poorly handled Covid 19 contagion will have killed close to 170,000 citizens. Several investigations into his financial dealings will become public in late summer and early fall. His generals are criticizing him publicly.

What will Trump do to turn it around?
