He doesn’t want to win. He wants it to be close enough so that he can claim election fraud again and wants his followers to attempt and be successful in an insurrection.
Ah see, but by not winning he can’t pardon himself. So he needs to win to avoid federal prosecution. If he loses, anything additional the DOJ has been sitting on because he’s a candidate will definitely be brought out.
I’m not sure he’s capable of comprehending that he might lose. He never accepted that he lost in 2020, or at least he never publicly admitted it. He did finally formally concede on Jan 7th, but only because his staff practically forced him to. Then he immediately backtracked and kept whining about election fraud.

He wants to win. His fragile little ego needs it. He’s just too dumb to change strategy.
His backup plan is to overthrow the government.
His criminal liability also needs it to keep him out of jail.
Problem is, he has supporters in the right places to do it.
His team has been trying to get him to talk about policy and the economy but he just can’t turn away from his usual bs.
I heard a grab from one of his speeches where he was kinda mocking the teleprompt.
It’s just a skosh different when you don’t control the military or the verious Alphabets.
The republicans are hoping for electoral college holdouts though, they’ve convinced enough officials of the stolen election lie https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-swing-state-officials-election-deniers-1235069692/

Assuming that his coup through the electorate/SCOTUS doesn’t work.
Oh he’ll just tie everything up legally and try again in 4 years

I think the turmoil of an uprising is just as beneficial for him
I don’t think he would even know how even if he wanted to.
I’ve got some terrible news for his followers then.
