4:35Now PlayingThere’s no doubt that Donald Trump is his own worst enemy, but he’ll never admit to that. This is why he believes that the solution to his pathetic performance in the polls is to give people more of him. His campaign is planning to push him out in front of the public on a near-daily basis as we head into the home stretch of the campaign, and that’s probably going to be the worst thing in the world for him. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump's biggest liability in his presidential campaign is Donald Trump himself. It's his mouth, it's his personality. It's quite literally everything about the guy that American voters do not like. And to be honest, they've never liked it. He has never had an approval rating of over 50%. A majority of the country has voted against him in every election that he has run in. They simply do not like him as a person. And as we enter this final stretch into the, uh, election, Donald Trump thinks he has come up with a brilliant solution to people not liking him and not wanting to see him. And that solution is to become more visible and do more things publicly, giving people more of a chance to either get sick and tired of him or realize what a gross and repulsive human being he really is. And I wish I were making that up, but no, according to a recent report by CNN, the Trump campaign confirmed that in these last few months before the election, it's a mad dash to the sprint, uh, uh, finish line, excuse me.
And, uh, they've got near daily things on Trump's calendar, whether it's gonna be interviews that are gonna air or rallies. He's gonna do speeches. There's gonna be nothing but nonstop Trump for the next two months. That to me, is probably the dumbest thing you could do. Um, 'cause again, I gotta stress this. People don't like him. You know, the last week alone where we saw his multiple public meltdowns on truth social, we saw the insane interview that he did with Dr. Phil. People get to see these things and they say, wow, this guy's insane. I'm not going to vote for him. I don't like what he did at Arlington National Cemetery. He got attacked by both the left and right for that one. And of course, military veterans we're not happy with it. And that is a scandal that, by the way, is clearly not going away.
So every time Trump comes out of his little Heidi hole, he makes things worse. He'll go to a rally and he will get off topic. Or if he stays on topic, it's 'cause he's reading off a teleprompter and he acts like he doesn't even want to be there. And the crowd looks bored and everybody's tired. Or he'll get on truth social and push new conspiracy theories that Kamala Harris is somehow inflating her social media numbers. He'll post out, you know, Q Anon memes, he'll suggest that. Uh, uh, sexual favors are why people like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are in the positions they're in today. All things that,
By the way, turn off voters. I have been saying this for years now. I predicted it when Nikki Haley dropped out of the campaign all the way back in March. And I was right about it then, and I'm right about it now. The more people see Donald Trump, the less they like him, the more he goes out there in public and opens his mouth, the more people turn away from him. His rallies are stale, they're boring, and the only way he can keep people's attention is to launch these vitriolic personal attacks that in turn, turn away more voters. So he is trapped. Donald Trump is genuinely trapped right now because all the strategists are saying talk policy. He can't talk policy. His policies, which he only has, like three or two of them, have been trashed by every economist on this, on this, uh, planet. They're terrible. So, I mean, if he wants to go out there and do more things, God bless it. Go for it, man. But trust me, Trump campaign managers, this is not going to have the impact that you think it will.
