It is clear now what Trump intends to do while seeking re-election as president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>He is going to denigrate, degrade, disparage his Democratic Party foe, Joseph Biden. Donald Trump will not offer a clear vision for the future. He won&#8217;t tell us what he intends to do during a second term. Trump likely won&#8217;t even boast about what he allegedly accomplished during the term he is serving.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen the TV ads that Donald Trump has approved. They speak to Biden&#8217;s mental acuity. They say the former vice president &#8220;is slipping.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I am not going to defend Joe Biden&#8217;s mental snap, other than to say that I believe he has plenty left in the tank to compete head to head against the Liar in Chief.<\/p>\n<p>I have no intention of offering this critique of Trump to prompt him to develop a winning strategy. I do not believe he is capable of crafting a theme on which to run for re-election. He instead is wired to pummel straw men. He continually lambasted Hillary Clinton in 2016 over the email matter, suggesting nefarious motives for her use of a personal server while she was secretary of state.<\/p>\n<p>Trump likely will copy that page from his winning playbook strategy in 2020. Joe Biden&#8217;s team must be aware of it &#8212; and I have no doubt it is &#8212; must be prepared to answer every single innuendo that Trump intends to hurl against the proverbial wall.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s political career by all rights should come to a screeching halt once they count all the voters&#8217; ballots cast on or before Nov. 3.<\/p>\n<p>How might Biden respond? I hope he intends to tell us how he would react to crises and pledge to improve on the feckless, reckless and pointless response to the COVID-19 crisis we&#8217;ve seen from the Trump administration. I also hope he intends to speak passionately to the issue of <em>civil rights<\/em>, which is a topic that is foreign to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump is likely to bring the nastiness to a full boil quickly and will sustain it during the length of what looks to me to be the most vile presidential campaign in memory.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=MAGA%20%23JoeBiden%20%23POTUS%20%23civilrights&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign theme has taken form.
