Trump's 2nd debate bounce that had seen Trump rally on Betfair's betting market from a low of 6.2 just prior to the debate to a post debate high of 4.8 has already apparently evaporated with Trump support literally crashing to a new low of 6.4 (current 6.2) as punters pile into placing bets on Hillary Clinton to win who now stands at a Betfair market price of just 1.21, her highest standing ever, which translates into just a £21 potential profit on every £100 bet, against Trump where every £100 converts into a potential £520 profit!

Whilst the opinion polls have also finally started to shift after being stuck at Hillary on 45% and Trump on 41%, with the latest averages Putting Hillary on 45% whilst Trump has drifted to 39%, a 6% gap.

So what's going wrong with the Trump campaign ? We'll it's basically that he continues to preach just to the converted, that and the string of leaks from his tax return £1 billion loss to the lewd grab women's p****y's tape. This whilst in my recent video analysis I gave several suggestions of what Trump could do to reverse his losing streak going into the second debate and where I warned of his achilles heel of his tax returns and the Trump organisation that lacked financial transparency which if revealed could blow his chances of winning the election as illustrated by the subsequent NYT story. Whilst step 2 was to stop attacking women and minorities none of which he is so far implementing!

My forecast of several weeks ago concluded that Trump at that time stood a chance of winning to become the next US President, which I said I would revisit closer to election day given the inability of Trump to control his math, and given that which has subsequently coming to pass I will definitely be doing so, though it does not take a rocket scientist to see the direction of trend in favour of Hillary, so by the time I come around to my forecast update before the end of October by then it may be obvious to all, even Trump that he has lost.

And for the reality of what a now diminishing Trump Presidency would actually look like see -
