Is Donald Trump running out of gas? The former president rolled into Michigan today, but it seems like his energy is almost on empty. Ron Filipkowski captured the moment perfectly in a tweet: “Low Energy Trump arrives in Michigan today. Waves to nobody. No Melania. Sad!”

Isiah Sanders questioned if Trump has the energy to keep going, implying that he’s so worn out, he might not even make it to November.
He’s tired. I don’t know how the hell he’s going to even make it to November.

Trump didn’t just face an empty crowd. He also looked tired, and the whole event felt more awkward than inspiring. One commenter, Peter, joked, “He even forgot to wave at the non-existent crowd! 😂” This isn’t the image of someone ready to lead a nation.

Trump’s legal problems are also on people’s minds. Jeremy Groves expressed frustration, saying, “Can we hurry up and lock his felon ass up? I’m tired of paying for his security detail to fly around the country whining and crying.”

Even some Republicans are starting to question Trump’s ability to win. GT suggested a different candidate, asking, “Is it too late? Can we replace him with someone else like Nikki Haley?” When people from your own party are looking for alternatives, it’s clear that support is weakening.

Today’s visit to Michigan isn’t helping Trump’s campaign at all. The lack of energy and the ongoing criticism are clear signs that his campaign is in trouble. Trump’s usual confidence and bravado seem to be fading, and even his supporters are noticing the change. This event was supposed to give his campaign a boost, but it’s doing the opposite.
As one commenter pointed out, it might be time for Trump to step back and focus on his health before things get even worse. The path ahead looks difficult for Trump, and many are questioning whether he has the energy and strength to continue his campaign successfully.
