Donald Trump has been throwing massive hissy fits on Twitter over his plunging poll numbers against Democratic nominee Joe Biden. Still, on Monday, Vanity Fair‘s Gabriel Sherman gave us some new insight into just how badly the president is taking his descent in popularity.
Trump is also considering removing his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Brad Parscale from his campaign while the president is going “malignantly crazy” over Biden beating him in the polls.
“According to a source close to the White House, Trump has mulled taking oversight of the campaign away from his son-in-law Jared Kushner,” Sherman reports. “‘Trump is malignantly crazy about the bad poll numbers,’ a former West Wing official said. ‘He’s going to broom Kushner and [Brad] Parscale — the numbers are not getting better,’ a Republican close to the campaign said.”
“Long before the reelection campaign went sideways, Trump frequently blew up at Kushner,” Sherman continued. “For instance, former West Wing officials recall how Trump hated when Kushner received too much positive press (In January, Trump was rankled when Kushner’s portrait graced the cover of Time). ‘Any time Jared is in the papers, Trump complains, “We have to get Jared back to New York!”‘ said a Republican who heard Trump make the comment. In the end, the source cautioned that Trump won’t push Kushner out. ‘This is typical with him and Jared,’ the source said.”

More and more prominent Republicans are turning on Trump as the economy finds itself in freefall, and the president completely mishandled his response to the racial unrest over George Floyd’s murder by police officers. Instead, Trump has made the situation worse. Some Republicans are now voting for Biden, and that has to be driving the president crazy.
For Trump to lose to Biden while former President Barack Obama has vowed to campaign hard for his former Vice President, the former reality show star would take it as a double-loss. Trump would then lose to the object of his obsessive jealousy: Barack Obama.
Trump dogged Obama for years in an attempt to delegitimize our country’s first black President. And now he could very well lose to Obama’s close friend, Joe Biden.
