ALSO READ: Harris has figured out Trump’s greatest liability
But Biden's decision to step down had the effect of "rattling" Trump into a potentially fatal campaign error, Chait argues: He stopped heeding the good advice his advisers are desperate for him to accept.
"But Trump doesn’t want to heed this advice," Chait writes. "He has been consumed by a mix of envy at Harris’s popularity and grievance at his own displacement."
An ill-prepared Trump last week was unable to explain at a press conference a Walz policy that turned Minnestota in a refuge state for trans teens, which could have proved catastrophic for the Harris-Walz ticket if attacked correctly, Chait argues.
Then over the weekend, on the heels of repeated reports that massive crowds gather at Harris rallies, the former president took to Truth Social to launch a conspiracy theory of "full lunacy," writes Chait."Trump began claiming wildly that Harris’s large crowds have actually been an elaborate hoax concocted through artificial intelligence," writes Chait. "It confirms once again that he is both completely demented."Losing campaigns often identify their failures and make a course correction," he writes. "Trump’s campaign is instead spiraling into a mental breakdown."
