Actually, he can.  Why?  Trump and his followers are charged up and Biden has the intensity level of Calm Radio.

Trump's Base is as fervent as ever. But for it to succeed, it must convince people not in that Base to go along. What many saw as charming roguishness is a cover for doing bad things to people. He is entertaining in a way -- but so were such types as Nero and Idi Amin. At some point the harm is not worth the entertainment, as when the Leader casts Christians to the lions or political opponents to the crocodiles. Trump may not be that bad, but he is taking America in a bad direction. "One and done" and never again. 

It is not up to our politicians to entertain us.  It is far better that we have the means, as solid income, to go to the movie theater, the horse track, the concert hall, or the club... whatever. (Whoops! With SARS-2 viruses out and about, maybe we have to rely upon books, recorded music and video, and hobbies for the duration). Politics works best when it is dull because there is then no drama of those in power doing unto others before others get a chance to do unto them.

Donald Trump is a huge blunder by the electorate, someone who slipped through the system. I see him much like Peter Ustinov hamming it up as Nero in the cinematic Quo Vadis, which holds up well almost seventy years later... and that I see germane to current events in America. 

Of course in a culture that has devolved to tribal divisions even in sources of news, with the accusation that opposing sides simply choose what fits the narrative that best fits their core beliefs, some people will be find the results of the 2020 election a horrible shock.
