Election experts say that the meeting reflects an intensifying push to persuade Trump to take unprecedented actions to affect the vote in November.

For me this is the first time somebody actually wrote out that other people are pulling Trump's strings.

And they already know that a simple executive order won't be enough this time.

I still maintain that him dying or becoming too frail might end this whole thing because he's the face, even the hero, for his voters, and because there will be a lot of infighting once he's gone. But it might not.

But otoh, "unprecedented actions to affect the vote" has been happening since Trump1.0 and, well, almost since independence day (the term "gerrymandering" is over 200 years old).
