he won't do it because he's an idiot, but he has a lot of positive messaging at his disposal:

Foreign affairs: no new wars and destroyed ISIS. Avoided a war with Iran with only a single bomb.

Economy: praise the citizens instead of taking personal credit. Point out how good things were until Covid and follow it up with how quickly Americans rebounded. Take credit for not standing in the way because he trusts people to do the right thing.

Covid: he needs to rail on Cuomo and Deblasio specifically, but also hammer on Whitmer for her orwellian tactics and hypocrisies. Praise the hospital systems and state and local officials that kept numbers down and say he always trusted them to do the right thing.

Riots: here's his big winner. He needs to be on constant attack over the cities that allowed the riots to get out of control and tie it to Biden wanting more of the same by defunding the police. The message needs to be: you drive through these neighborhoods where businesses are still boarded up and the democrats want more of that. Tie Biden to AOC as much as possible because she's an easy target.

Energy: point out the fact that for the first time in 100 years we are energy independent thanks to him lifting regulations.


He has a great opportunity to win, but I doubt he can stay on message.

I'm sure you'll see this but it'll be lost in the volume of negative campaigning. He won with negative campaigning the first time and has been subject to 4 years of the media and Democrats negatively campaigning against him. There's no way he doesn't think that dominating the negative campaigning activity is the way to win.

Trump started his presidency with more americans wanting someone else to be president and its only gotten worse. Candidates he endorses lose. His party got beat like a drum in 2017 elections, 2018 elections, 2019 elections. Right now america craves stability. Trump cannot provide that.

How does changing regimes provide stability?

Is this one of those "people who would sacrifice liberty for security will lose both and deserve neither" type of things?
Nope. Its more of a "in times of uncertainty, people want a leader who isnt going to taunt a nuclear power on twitter with insulting nicknames" type of thing.

Because you'll have 4 years of the media writing about how wonderful the President is and ignoring any adverse news that might impact the direction of the ongoing cultural evolution, there will be the appearance of more stability. If it all goes according to history, the attention will focus domestically and international risks will be left to fester so that they will become issues for the next President.
