Donald Trump's sudden disinterest in making appearances before friendly crowds or interviewers has made his closest advisers worried about his re-election prospects, reports MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire.
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Lemire noted that Trump has been blanket canceling public appearances at an alarming rate, which is curious since there is so little time before voters head to the polls.
During a discussion with branding expert Donnie Deutsch, Lemire stated, "Let's talk about where things stand right now, up front, the race is close. It is basically a tie, but there does seem to be some slight shifts in momentum. A few weeks ago, Democrats, you heard it, I heard it, we reported it, were nervous about Harris –– she's not doing enough, she's not out there, she's not campaigning. It's all changed: the media blitz, now she's barnstorming across the country. Now, Trump is the one who has really pulled back, canceling interviews left and right. And there seems to be a new sense of unease coming from the inner circle."

"It is interesting, exactly as you said," Deutsch agreed. "You feel the campaigns –– it's within the 48-yard lines obviously –– but you feel it going like this. "
"In the last few days, as Trump disappeared, or at best sways to music, you've got to ask the question: is there something wrong with him?" he continued. "I mean he really seems to have kind of just literally backed off. He canceled NBC, he didn't do '60 Minutes.' He's probably cancelling a town hall. He seems to be trying to run out the clock and that is dangerous news."
