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

How come nobody is constantly and publicly calling out Trump for being a felon and insurrectionist and getting to be on the ballot? Start referring to him as his inmate number in Georgia P01135809. People need to start literally playing public data of him committing crimes.
What kind of weirdo buys a shit ton of cereal and puts it on a table outside? wtf. They just need to let the man retire, this is elder abuse.
He just looks like an old tired scrambling shitbag now
It only took twelve damn years for a Democrat to figure out the playbook that hasn’t changed from the first day.
Well, better late than never I suppose.
Trump claimed Harris is responsible for a law in California that says it’s OK to steal from a grocery store, that she doesn’t like Jewish people, that more than 100 percent of recent U.S. jobs have gone to migrants, that Harris is a “Communist” and said the country under her leadership would devolve into a commie dystopia in which “everyone gets health care” …
Now we just need Joseph R. Biden to declare election week a holiday and establish Saturday and Sunday as permanent Election Days.
We can call it the ‘Scranton Scramble’®
I am thinking food, alcohol and sports.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://newrepublic.com/article/184951/donald-trump-flailing-harris) reduced by 86%. (I’m a bot)

> The pièce de résistance: At the Jewish event, he praised Miriam Adelson, the huge Trump donor and widow of Sheldon Adelson, mentioning that he'd given her a Presidential Medal of Freedom, which he noted was the civilian equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor but was "Actually much better" because people who receive the latter medal are "Either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets, or they're dead.".
> 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.
> Donald Trump is not and can't accept that fact.

I just hope Kamala doesn’t start claiming that she can cheat at golf better than the orange dope…
Somehow Joe Biden went down that rabbit hole and it confirmed to me that he was done
She must bring E Jean Carrol as an audience member, refer to her case in the debate and harp heavily on:
Convicted criminal facing jail
His cronies all in jail
Old age
Stupidity
Project 2025 taking woman’s rights back to ancient times etc
I think it would be best if we all start laughing at them at all times. Like the ending to the Star Trek episode “Day of the Dove”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dove
After a while Trump’s “thing” becomes less of an “enigma” and more “old, tiring, and boring”. You can only do the same thing for so long before it starts getting tiring to Americans.
If you enjoy reading headlines like this, consider donating a little extra time and/or money to help continue making Trump a little more miserable every day.
When he shits his pants, is that orange and hot too? We need a Youtube channel just for TRUMP SCHADENFREUDE.
djt is MENTALLY UNSTABLE
“Trump is bound to find his footing and quit flailing as desperately as he has been.”
No, he isn’t. He’s old, losing it, won’t take advice from anyone except himself and he’s running his campaign into the ground. Yay!
Late July interview:
“Joe Biden’s campaign only attracts flies”
August 14th press conference
Fly sits on DonOLDs face
This feels like the part in the story of Stephen Kings It where the losers club finally gets the upper hand on Pennywise/IT and is ganging up on him. He went away for a few years and came back. This time, we are ready to not just scare him off but send him packing.
One thing I love is Trump saying International leaders will not be intimidated by Harris if she wins. But trump is terrified of her.
“great kid! don’t get cocky!”
The left is finally punching back after 8 years of bullshit from Trump. It’s a bittersweet feeling. I wish they would have stood up to the pedophile years ago.
The only way Trump knows how to run a campaign is no longer working – and now he is panicking. I expect we’ll see a lot more public displays of lashing out and bizzare behavior.
Trump is furious that he can’t avenge his loss to Biden in 2020. He’ll go to his grave knowing he never got to get back at him.
This is his worst three weeks *so far*
Trump is boring. He’s like season 5 of TV show.
He’s gotten old. His schtick has gotten old. And the whole thing just comes off as weird now.
I absolutely love how they’re trying to repackage him as a sensible adult, capable of running the country which is the exact opposite of his true personality and not what his base expects from him. It’s Sideshow Bob and the rakes and I’m here for it.
In a woman, the Dems have finally found their balls again. This is the most hopeful I’ve felt since Obama.
It continues. Six days ago, *The New York Times* [ran a story](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/10/us/politics/trump-campaign-election.html) 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.
Then, on Thursday, we had a little taste of some [peak Trump crazy](https://newrepublic.com/post/184939/donald-trump-derails-press-conference-campaign-strategy). He claimed Harris is responsible for [a law in California](https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-160551360299) that says [it’s OK to steal](https://x.com/atrupar/status/1824188075989155864) from a grocery store as long as your take is under $950. (This is not what the [law says](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-08-12/what-is-california-proposition-47-how-proposition-36-could-change-crime-sentencing-drugs-theft).) He made strange comments about Cheerios. He lectured Jews (at a later event) about how if the Democrats win, Jewish people “don’t have a chance” in America, [saying of Harris](https://www.katv.com/news/beyond-the-podium/jewish-voices-for-trump-coalition-formed-to-combat-antisemitism-2024-presidential-election-politics)—whose husband is Jewish—that “she doesn’t like Jewish people. You know it, I know it, and everybody knows it, and nobody wants to say it.” And we can’t forget the assertion that more than 100 percent of recent U.S. jobs have gone to migrants.
Meanwhile, what else is Harris doing? Starting to unveil an economic package that, so far anyway, looks pretty great. It’s aimed straight at middle-class voters and focused on housing and grocery prices. You can’t get more kitchen table than that. And the bit about [going after corporate price gougers](https://newrepublic.com/article/184937/harris-price-gouging-corporations) is great. It sends a nice populist signal that she’s willing to make some enemies.
We’re coming up on a month now of Harris being the candidate. That isn’t much time, granted, and of course the race is still in margin-of-error territory and at some point, Trump is bound to find his footing and quit flailing as desperately as he has been.
But all that said, the Harris campaign has been as shrewd as any presidential campaign I’ve ever seen. Her stump speech is excellent. The choice of Walz was great—their personal chemistry is so evident in that video they just released of the two of them chatting about spicy food and whatnot (the right is trying to gin up outrage over Walz saying he eats “white-guy tacos”). The focus on family economics recognizes a potential Harris weak spot and establishes the campaign as not being out of touch. They just haven’t done one thing wrong yet.
We’re on the 10th season of his schtick and the audience is getting tired.
Little tic tac, big tic tac
Harris needs to pull the plug on his campaign on sept 10 n not let his zero none sense take the stage. She needs to show the world what he truly is weird. Vote Nov 5 n let freedom live. Fuck project 2025 n the republicans
Start calling him “Old News!” He will hate that.
The longer it goes, the more desperate he gets, and the crazier he talks, which only hurts him more, making him even more desperate. He’s in a death spiral, and has no idea how to get out of it.
It’s a beautiful thing.
I just watched a montage recently showing Trump attacking Hillary, then Biden, and now Harris. He was using the exact same words for the exact same accusations every single time for all three, no variations.
He has become the proverbial broken record and Americans are tired of it, hence the appeal of Harris. Someone who genuinely smiles and laughs, who has a sense of humor that doesn’t involve mocking disabled people, and who actually talks policy is a breath of fresh air.
You can only be a hate hustler for so long.
And while I am thinking about it:
” So long, Trump ! ”
You still have to VOTE to make that dream come true.
Balrog J. Dump. He shall not pass.
>…and at some point, Trump is bound to find his footing and quit flailing as desperately as he has been.
I seriously doubt it.
Election Tuesday should be a holiday, 100%.
Your only job on that day is to go vote. Go get blasted the night before if you want. Get some nice rest. Plan a day at the beach, but late morning, after you vote
Just get out and vote.
People are tired of hearing his whiny shit for the last 9 years. It’s the same garbage from his brain dead mouth. Add on top of that he’s even more incoherent today than he was back then. Also maybe he should’ve told some of his supporters to have gotten vaccinated and they wouldn’t have died in the hundreds of thousands.
> Trump’s like a predatory animal in a literal sense. Since he has no conscience, he’s all instinct, and his instinct is to find his prey’s weakness and go after it over and over.
This is so apt. It’s a perfect description of Trump. And just like a predator when it ages, he’s been rendered toothless and slow and when he doesn’t have easy prey, he starves. His death (political and literal) seems nearer everyday.
We need to be ready – their propagandists are feverishly making things up and they will pounce on anything that gains traction.
For once, we need to be in array. If we vote on massive numbers they won’t be able to cheat.
I truly think one of the biggest accomplishments of VP Harris’s campaign is that it’s motivating, energizing, and bringing so much joy to people who aren’t even super big fans of her – such as myself.
I was always going to vote for her (or whomever would be on the blue ticket) over Fascism, but this joy strategy is a winner.
His whiny tone when he said “she called me weird” actually made me laugh out loud.
