Trump is still fighting the last war, offering an angry message that sounds more like his dystopian campaign in 2016, when he was a challenger, than the hopeful, stay-the-course message an incumbent usually relies on to win reelection.

Win or lose in November, President Trump already has a legacy of domestic deregulation and global disruption. But his botched response to a deadly pandemic and a deep recession overshadow the rest.

Here’s his problem: Trump is fighting the last war. He’s been waging a dystopian crusade like his 2016 campaign, when he was an outsider challenging the party in power. Worried Republican strategists argue that Trump should use the convention to change course and focus on measures designed to help the economy recover, including more help for the millions out of work, before voters fill out their absentee ballots.“Trump needs to paint a happier picture,” John Feehery, a former strategist for Republican congressional leaders, told me. “He needs to offer some optimism. You can’t go all-in on dystopia, especially when you’ve been president for the last four years.

Karl Rove, who ran George W. Bush’s presidential campaigns, noted that the last three presidents who won reelection “used their acceptance speeches to convince voters that they had something new to offer.... [Trump’s] weakness so far is he hasn’t laid out an agenda for a second term.”

The editors should reject any article that includes the words 'trump' and 'pivot' out of hand. They are mutually exclusive w/r/t this president. In the meantime, I will reject clicking on any such headline out of hand.

Never listen to the opinions of how to win from the opposing team

Liberal grown terrorists👉🏼

Probably? DoBetter

He needs to really just leave us alone

What is wrong with you There. Is. No. Pivot. Ever. He is who he is — corrupt, criminal, mobbed-up, compromised, evil. Evil doesn't 'pivot.' Please get a proper understanding of the situation. It has been four years. You've had ample time.

And who is going to even read the ? Lousy try. Your city is dying. Write about that.

Let me fix that for you: 'He won't.'

There is no pivot. At all. Ever.

Why would Trump take advice from a writer who wants him to lose?

The GOP has conceded all power to Trump.

You never get tired of this, do you

The LA times will be exposing those who sent covid 19 positive cases to nursing homes where the weakest of the nation were. Killed more than Pearl harbor and 9 11. A crime against humanity.

So now we’re guessing about what people might say? It is staggering what passes as news these days!

Trump, pivot, because he's asked to do so? That's a laugh!

He wouldn't know how to pivot, even if it walked up to him and smacked him square in the face. Fortunately for this country there's new leadership ready to the lead after Nov 3rd!!! And also: Hey A-hole! Wear a mask!!!!

He will tell 10,000 lies all about democrats and seniors and the poor

Pivot? He can't even walk.

Sure after 74 years, he's going to pivot More people show up for him going to the restroom than Biden has at every speech combined. Me thinks Biden needs to pivot.....

Who will believe the pivot

🦠🤮

Trump doesn't need to do ANYTHING the L.A. Times tells him to do. In fact how are you guys operating with the rolling blackouts?

Closest word to “pivot” Trump knows is “divot.”

Probably? Good God you people who wore these headlines are freaking annoying as hell. HE WON’T. He’s shown us who he is OVER AND OVER.

Trump has Nov 3rd all rapped up.

Pivot from what, they said nothing of they would do for the country. All that was said was a hatred for the President. No substance what’s so ever, just hate. Vote Red in November. 🇺🇸

PIVOT REALLY? WTF are you smoking? The psychopath is unable to change his psychopathic behavior BECAUSE he is a psychopath! If you really think he can change, I have some “VERY TREMENDOUS FABULOUS” stock to sell you!

Odd article in that he is what he is. Sounds like you want him to change to get re-elected and is that really what America needs? BidenHarris2020

The 1 thing Trump needs to do is not listen at all to Karl Rove

JFC . Democracy needs you LAT. Do better! “Pivot” ? WTAF ?

Probably🤣🤣🤣🤣

Will demonstrates drown out Trump's Republican Nomination Acceptance Speech? PLUS: Trump2020 potential acceptance speech notes. Required reading for TrumpSupporters MAGA MAGA2020 KAG KAG2020 PutinsGOP

Seriously, his brand is hate and divisiveness. And he is all about his brand and his supporters love the hate.

Good move,he is a rational leader

Secince

Your title should read “Trump should resign during the convention” there is not pivot for Trump. He can not escape everything he has ruined. He will look good in that orange jump suit next year

Or . . he could try his old faithful habits . . plagiarizing someone - but himself? And his national media cheers.

Perhaps he should do what Joe Biden did in his acceptance speech . . close on this note: 'There’s Never Been Anything We’ve Been Able to Accomplish When We’ve Done it Together' - actual quote.

oh yes, Trump needs advice from the pijama boys at the LA Times.

That small mind is incapable of accepting that he's been horribly wrong. No pivot happening.

LAtimes is desperately failing and almost out of business. LAtimes needs to pivot. It probably won’t.

Half the speakers are from the TrumpCrimeFamily so it's going to be the same thing over and over. 😴

He NEVER does.

Excuse you? You are not a trump supporter so don’t you dare assume what he “needs” to do. He answers to us, the American people! Not some bunk propaganda farm

“Pivot” it? Why would he? He is willing to openly say what the rest of the Repugs have believed and fought for, for years, and Americans are just dumb enough to buy it. GOPTraitors GOP=Racists

We didn't elect Trump to please the Chinese own LA TIMES..

Pivot as in “I Resign” is what the majority of us want to hear!!

Geezus. Whoever wrote this should be fired.

Just bang home that Biden is anti police=win. According to Biden the Police are the enemy and need to be defunded:

He’ll get more vile and vulgar.

Pivot?

He probably won't? He simply can not; it is not within his DNA.

It’s been 4 years.

As stupid as the Brazilian president. Screwed up!

Media says “pivot!” like it’s 2017.

The Los Angeles Times is a LEFTIST organization. Trump is getting re-elected and THEY KNOW IT!!! GFY LATimes

He won't because he can't. He is what he has always been. Why even speculate - or is this what passes for 'news' now? Hammer him on his lies; on how mail in voting was not an issue for him in 2016 etc etc etc - 'pivot'? sheesh

What do you care what an American says? Stick to 'advising' the socialists.

He simply doesn’t have that in him and will double more

He doesn’t take suggestions from media losers

JournalismIsDead

He simply doesn’t have that in him and will double more.

Maybe he'll pivot. Maybe I'll take a nap later and wake up as a monkey.

Double Down Donald

Won't or can't. TrumpIsNotWell
