If you lose your reelection bid, you should go quietly into the sunset, find a new hobby, and enjoy the rest of your life. Trump doesn't do anything quietly but, he needs to find a life outside politics because he is a failure as president, failure as a businessman, failure as a human being.
It goes like this. “When Trump was president, Kroger was open 24/7 but now it closes at 10:00. When Trump was president, my favorite bar was still open but now it closed due to covid. When Trump was president, he said all sorts of crazy things but nothing bad happened to ME, so I’ll risk it again and maybe he’ll get the price of eggs back down.” He’s got like a double incumbency advantage because he was President and we all lived through it but he also represents a return to happier days.
Setting the abortion issue aside, Trump wouldn't have such a woman problem if he showed the least bit of respect.
Donald Trump legally became the president as a result of events in 2016, and he was legally inaugurated. But he wasn’t elected by the American people.
Donald Trump didn’t win either presidential election; he lost the popular vote in both. He was selected for the presidency by the antiquated undemocratic Electoral College. We are stuck with a very undemocratic system of government, with illusions of democracy.
Fun fact: Trump did not even reach 47% of the popular vote in either of his two previous runs for President.

Voting for Governor is different than Senator too, and people who bother to vote can understand the difference. A Governor is an executive and can be a great administrator, decision maker, etc without centering on ideology. A Senator is one of 100 legislators and you know they will generally vote with their party - not independent and not able to enact good ideas/ reject bad ideas by themselves.
There are some indications that minority males have moved towards Trump, but what gets left out is that it's a very small cohort to begin with and they aren't regular voters.
Those people idolized Trump before the election, and still do. For people to whom his sales pitch is not aimed, he has always seemed gaudy, arriviste, self-aggrandizing and crooked.
