The people to whom he's pandering see it as a positive.
ETA: he's gambling. It's a calculated risk, and he knows if he doesn't get ~~appointed by the EC~~ elected again, he may very well have real consequences of charged criminal activity. Intuitive intelligence is a gift, and as much as it may pain some of us to admit it, he intuitively knows how to play his base.
Trump couldn't calculate 2+2, or 1+1.
He's not some mad genius pandering to the crowds. This is just who he is. a nacriscistic asshole who sees nothing wrong with raping children.
and if he were really that calculating, he'd realize that his election is going to be won and lost by the voters that choose not to turn out to vote. On the Harris side, you've got the anti-genocide crowd (and a few others,) on the trump side, you got the... uh... well there's a lot of things to be anti-trump about...
he intuitively knows how to play his base
All con-men know how to play their marks - it's a skill they hone for years. He has done it with women all his life. Probably works fabulously on all those MAGA men's minds.
Juries now have twice now awarded Carroll huge sums
Can we please pay someone to copy edit major publications? No? Fine.
I know. This is one of my major pet peeves, that even major publications seem to skip copy editing. I'll forgive it in an independent journalist's substack, but not much more.
He also claimed a photo of them together was AI.
I look forward to the orange turd getting flushed.
So it's a deflection strategy, think about misogyny (which his base doesn't care much about) instead of important things that will be debated.
You know, he's not stupid he just plays it that way (or if he is, hes staff isn't), there is always a reason.
Oh, he's definitely stupid, doesn't mean he can't occasionally be clever.
