Donald Trump Has No Idea What Has Hit Him, and It’s a Joy to Watch

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

He’s had yet another horrible week. The old tricks aren’t working. Kamala Harris does not fear him. And it’s showing in the numbers.

 

August 16, 2024

 

It continues. Six days ago, The New York Times ran a story under the headline “Inside the Worst Three Weeks of Donald Trump’s 2024 Campaign.” Usually, when the country’s most important newspaper runs a story like that, the candidate pays a little attention and the ship begins to right itself. But in this case, it’s just gotten worse. The ship is capsizing, and the captain is losing his marbles.

 

Right after that story ran, Trump came out with his wild accusation that Kamala Harris’s crowd of thousands at a Detroit airplane hangar was fake. The next night, he did that weird, to borrow an au courant word, interview with Elon Musk, where he made more WTF comments than I can recount, capped by his vow to move to Venezuela (a country ruled by a corrupt autocrat who just cheated massively in this month’s election) if he loses. On Wednesday, he gave a rambling speech at a North Carolina rally.

...

You know how they say in sports that an opponent has gotten inside the other team’s head? Well, Harris and Tim Walz have certainly gotten inside Trump’s head. Walz’s “weird” comment, which Trump has also responded to in a, well, sort of weird way, was just the start. Harris has also smartly refused to take the GOP campaign’s bait, like when Trump attacked her race and J.D. Vance tried to make her childlessness an issue. Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz campaign trolls Trump in its press releases with snarky language I don’t recall Joe Biden’s or Hillary Clinton’s campaigns using. It sends the message, which must drive him nuts, that they don’t fear him at all.

Inside the Worst Three Weeks of Donald Trump’s 2024 Campaign

 

 

People around the former and would-be president see a candidate knocked off his bearings, disoriented by his new contest with Kamala Harris and unsure of how to take her on.

 

Aug. 10, 2024

...

The fund-raiser came amid a stretch of flailing and self-harm that began after President Biden’s July 21 withdrawal from the race and endorsement of Ms. Harris to succeed him. Close Trump allies have described this as the rockiest period of Mr. Trump’s campaign — and easily the worst since a late 2022 spree in which he mused about terminating parts of the Constitution and dined at Mar-a-Lago with a white supremacist and an outspoken antisemite.

 

 

Since then, Mr. Trump has picked fights with allies publicly and privately, including a broadside against Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia at an Atlanta rally — the kind of meanspirited public attack on a popular Republican that his own allies believe helped sink two Senate races in Georgia in January 2021 and could harm Mr. Trump in the state, a vital battleground in November.

 

...

As Ms. Harris — long ridiculed and underestimated — has transformed the contest, campaigning energetically and drawing roughly even with Mr. Trump in many polls, Mr. Trump has responded with one unforced error after another while struggling to land on an effective and consistent argument against her.

You seem very worried.

 

As Trump sinks more in the polls, you will have to change your username again, and then proclaim "the polls don't matter".

 

After Trump loses in November, you'll probably change your username again, and become a Democrat.

Possibly banned. Hopefully permanent and not temporary. Hasn't logged in since Thursday. Expecting new member version of him will appear soon though if it's permanent. Maybe it will turn up as "nokdolfsooz".

Problem is he isn't capable of having a normal conversation with anyone. Everything is always a smug attack using sound bites. Never any substance. Often factually incorrect and misguided information. Simply trying to troll and trigger other people for no reason. Acts like judge and jury on everything. Yes, very easy to spot. No humor, nothing light hearted, or positive to say. Also, very thrifty. Nobody else has such appalling interpersonal skills.

Lots of inaccurate comments. One would think Trump has not won a poll in months.
