lol, I feel like my brain is going to explode if I try to wrap my head around the logic Trump is using to get to this conclusion.

This level of mental gymnastics should only be attempted by seasoned professionals.
Okay, I did some stretches and I feel warmed up.
My biggest complaint is that the answer to the question "So, we are forced to spend time and money on fighting crooked Joe Biden?" is "no".
He wasn't forced to fight Joe Biden. Instead of attacking Joe he could've focused on extolling his own virtues.
I feel like reacting this way indicates that he doesn't see himself as a candidate worthy of winning the election on his own merit.
Or their campaign finances are so tight fighting legal battles they can't afford to pivot.
Yeah, but if the campaign was based on the belief that "Trump is the best candidate regardless of who he's running against" there would never be a need to pivot based on the opponent changing.
Which to me indicates Trump was viewing his 2024 campaign as a grudge match between himself and Biden as opposed to viewing it as a campaign to be elected president of the United States of America.
Like, where's the strength of conviction? The guy is flailing and it's embarrassing.
His campaign is a desperate attempt to get back that sweet sweet presidential immunity, plus all the perks he'll get selling out the country for pennies on the dollar.

He spent so much effort attacking Joe Biden. Mostly because his entire campaign is centered around attacking Joe Biden, and not any real policies. Now that’s all in vain.
He’s mostly thinking about himself.

Why doesn’t Trump just drop out since he was only in the race to challenge Biden? Then the Democrats will have to rebuild their election strategy. Seems like a pretty obvious course of action unless you are complete narcissist who is fine taking down their party with them.
Because there is nothing else, only trump.
Exactly. In fact, in the next four years, if he is still alive, I bet you that POS is still going to try to run. And they will still let him.

You can tell they're pissed he dropped out because the more obvious framing is that thier anti-Biden campaigning worked, and they were successful.
For them to act like they got ripped off instead tells you everything you need to know.
I agree, I believe that they are mad that their campaign worked too well, they didn't want him to drop out as he was a viable candidate to win against as he was slipping hardcore poll wise and was shooting himself in the foot, he wouldn't have won. Now they need to re-evaluate their strategy to fight against Harris, which is going to be difficult considering that she is basically a counter opposite of what Biden was and has the exact opposite tactics he did, including background and has a solid history. I personally don't care much about her but, I can see where the threat is.

It also takes away the focus from his little ear booboo. Everyone will be focused on the Dems for the next few weeks unless something more interesting happens.

Who exactly forced them to spend time and money fighting Crooked Joe Biden? Take it up with them.
Exactly!
If he felt "forced" to fight Joe in order to win the election it indicates that he doesn't see himself as a candidate worthy of winning on his own merit.
He's always the victim.
Obviously the Biden crime family /s

No caps? Coherent sentences? The fat orange cheeto didn't even see this text before it was published....
The difference between being FOR something and being AGAINST something.
Die mad motherfucker.
Exactly! Mf, campaign for yourself, not against an opponent. The entitlement of this guy is unbelievable. He thinks that he's automatically good enough to be president after seriously fucking up last time and just needs to trash the other candidates.
This just highlights how well thought out the timing of Biden's statement was.
I don't know when he made his decision, but it was probably weeks ago. He pretended he was still going to be running so that the GOP spent their entire convention attacking him. Once the convention was over, he waited until just after the Sunday politics talk shows were done, and then made his announcement.
Now they get weeks to build up excitement for the Democratic convention while the Republican news cycle is over.
(P.S. as further evidence this wasn't just a spur of the moment decision, look at all the prominent democrats now coming out in support of Harris. I don't think that just happens. I think that only happens after some back-room negotiations. I think these negotiations were done, their support for Harris was locked in, and then they went quiet until the time of the announcement. The democratic party is famous for having its fights out in the open. But, other than Manchin, I can't think of any Democrats (or sorta-kinda-democrats in his case) who even whispered about challenging her.)
If this was actually planed like you say, then God damn they played this game really well.
He still got it 😏
Lol Trump and the GOP always said he was too old and shouldn't run, so he drops out and now they're mad about it. The GOP is both infuriating and hilarious at the same time.
"BIDEN TOO OLD!! SLEEPY JOE! HUNTER'S LAPTOP! OLD! BIDEN OLD!"
Joe Biden: The American people have spoken, and I have elected to bow to their wishes and exit the presidential race.
"NOT LIKE THAT! BIDEN OLD! BIDEN COST MONEY! BIDEN OLD! PUT HIM BACK IN, ONLY OLDS NOW!"
Do you have any idea how much money it takes to retrain LLMs to astroturf the Internet?
Look, I have my issues with Trump but if you think Harris is going to be able to lead after her record with....
nah I'm just fuckin with you, I'm not a political bot
Oh man, he should really stick it to Kamela and the dems by switching to a different candidate on the GOP side! Just sayin'
Lol, that's amazing. What a precious little snowflake he is.
Do over! Do over! Mommy they cheated! Mommmmmmy!
Dumb fucking sheep magas don't even see this as petulant baby diaper shitting... If you really had a StRoNg MaN presidential candidate then he'd have said "Obama, Kamala, Hillary, Biden, who cares? I'll beat anyone you throw at me!"
But that's not who Trump is so we get: "Wahhhhh Wahhhhh Wahhhhh Wahhhhh!" And his followers go "yeah! Wahhh! It's really bad! Wahhh wahhh! We're tough! Wahhh get my gun I need to feel like a man!"

It's almost as if he didn't want the best person to win and lead the country.
You know what i see? Someone coming up with excuses for when he loses.
Kick his racist, sexist ass with a black female president

How come Trump was allowed to spend four years proving that he wasn’t capable of being President on the taxpayers’ dime then?
Trump is being forced to run for president? Is he unable to make decisions on his own or is he being forced by companies that line his pockets?
He's being forced by the fact that it's the only way he sees to stay out of jail basically lol. All those "Democrat Witch Hunts" are really getting to him.
