A new internal memo by Tony Fabrizio, chief pollster for all three of Donald Trump’s presidential campaigns, tells the former president he’s in a radically better position than he was right before the 2020 election.

Why it matters: The memo reflects the exuberance that Trump staffers and allies exude in interviews and behind-the-scenes conversations. The optimistic framing could make it even more difficult for Trump followers to accept a loss as legitimate.

The memo, addressed to “TEAM TRUMP,” has the subject line: “PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ON THE VERGE.”

    Hey conservatives: Trump is doing so well that you don’t have to vote! You can stay home! He’ll win easily without your one vote!

    I’m sure he’s being told that, but if the polls are to be believed, he IS in a radically better position than he was this time in 2020.

    Which is absolutely horrifying.

      Seriously… This time it more than likely isn’t bullshit. I honestly feel like it’s a guarantee he wins at this point…

    Wouldn’t they tell him the same thing if his chances were bad though? He doesn’t seem to be the type of guy who would take bad news well.

      It’s even worse than that I believe. They’ve all probably been instructed to never show any doubt regarding the election outcome in any hard correspondence to prevent rebuttal evidence in court.

      They’re not even yes-men. They are simply obedient little bitches.

    I like how the betting market odds have changed. Kamala +170 must have been too tasty to pass up, I know it was for me.

    What I don’t get is Trump was like -200, but Republican president, Democrat popular vote was +240… in what world is Trump going to win the popular vote???
