'No one to blame but himself': Rick Wilson says Trump turned campaign into a 'clown show'
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump is rapidly losing all the momentum he built up in the campaign before President Joe Biden exited the race, former GOP strategist turned Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson told Salon's Chauncey DeVega in a broad-ranging interview published on Thursday. "Donald Trump laid a trap to try to beat Joe Biden, and that trap was to tell every American that the old man couldn't hack it, and now Trump is the old man who can't hack it in the race," said Wilson. Trump "has no one but himself to blame for his political fortunes right now and how he has lost the momentum so fast," said Wilson. The former president's whole bid to make himself a "glorious martyr" didn't work, said Wilson, because the American people already have made up their minds about him and he cannot change those perceptions.
