Trump already has a primary opponent
This week I called Trump facing a primary challenger a 100:1 shot. Boy was I off. It was already a closed contract. On April 15, 2019 Bill Weld officially announced he would be running for president, challenging incumbent Donald Trump. How was I not tracking on that and cheering on Mr. Weld?
Weld (former Governor of Massachusetts) is on MSNBC right now and his case for primarying Trump is rock solid.

Jill Biden Admits – Campaign Already on the Ropes, Gasping for Air
Jesus. Jill Biden is a fucking national treasure, but hang it up already. Democrats have tried and failed to scold voters into trudging to the voting booth because "centrism" and it hasn't FUCKING WORKED!!! What do you not get about that?
“You may like another candidate better, but you have to look at who is going to win,” she said, citing Mr. Biden’s consistent lead in early surveys.You don't go to that line until you know that your candidate doesn't have the juice. From the same article, here is a tidy review of that strategy:

Let’s be clear – Trump never called himself the second coming of God
Trump only quoted a crazy internet person & Newsmax TV personality Wayne Allyn Root who said "the Jewish people in Israel love him like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God." If this proves anything it is that it is impossible for anyone to be too toxic for Trump if they pay him a compliment.
