Donald Trump has adopted a sluggish and lethargic approach to his 2024 presidential campaign, limiting his appearances to "spot" events, TV interviews, and tele-rallies while focusing on manipulating the nomination process and persuading potential donors.

Trump's opponents have largely chosen not to challenge him, running on modified Trumpian platforms or conceding the contest without putting up a fight. While lethargy can be a successful survival strategy, it is not foolproof, and Trump risks tempting the fickle election fates by treating the campaign like a cakewalk.
