Does this sound like a serious presidential candidate?
Trump is living in a complete and total delusion.
He lost the second election even tough it was most likely stolen. He did not win the popular vote, although that is irrelevant. Even if he had won the EC, it would have been extremely close.
His endorsement is toxic unless one is running in a very safe state/district.
Sure most people he "endorsed" won, but almost all of those were going to win without him. The ones that mattered all lost.
The media is churning out polls with Trump up by up to 80 points, even in Florida.
A Trump connected poll has him up 10 over Biden, but DeSantis down 5 to Biden. Not possible, but Trump got the poll he paid for.
All that said, his base eats this stuff up and thinks it means he looks "tough" when everyone else sees it as the deranged rantings of someone losing a grip on reality.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
