As Trump fumes, Republicans wince at ‘public nervous breakdown’

Donald Trump spent Monday morning labeling the turmoil in the global financial markets the “Kamala Crash,” giving Republicans hope that he might turn his focus to an economic message.

It didn’t last. By midday, the former president was already back to re-litigating his controversial appearance in Chicago last week, where he questioned Kamala Harris’ Black identity and suggested a major network journalist should be fired — “I didn’t know who she was, she was nasty,” he told a livestreamer.

Republicans on Monday reeled from Trump’s undisciplined approach to the opening stages of his new general election matchup with Harris — following a weekend that saw him praise Russian leader Vladimir Putin while smearing Harris as “low IQ,” and “dumb” and attacking a popular swing-state GOP governor whose turnout operation he may need in November.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” said Matthew Bartlett, a GOP strategist and former Trump administration appointee. “This is a guy who cut through the Republican primary like a knife through butter. This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race. And now this is a guy who cannot come to grips with a competitive presidential race that would require discipline and effective messaging. And we’re seeing a candidate and a campaign absolutely melt down.”

You left out the lying coward, rapist, racist, bigot, convicted felon, pedophile, old, illiterate, senile parts - but I sense you’re not a fan?

Hey, now that you mention it, he is kind of a weird one!

That old loser should withdraw from the race.

Yeah… no he didn’t. They just knew they couldn’t get enough Democrats energized to vote. And that was totally due to Biden and nothing to do with what Trump did.

That might be what really happened, but what does Trump think happened?

Obviously Trump thinks it’s all about Trump. But Matthew Bartlett isn’t Donald Trump.

dream_weasel ,

Have you ever seen both of them together at the same time? 🤔

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, but his name isn’t John Barron, so it can’t be Trump.

(How fucking weird is it that he named his son after the fake name he used to give to the press to promote himself?)

Ugh. I’d forgotten all about his alter egos. My brain just cannot remember all the stupid shit he’s done.

“Among battleground voters, we win if we have the discipline to contrast on policy and we lose if voters decide on likability. Really, really simple,” he added.

what “policy”? take from the poor and give to the rich? whatever GOP. keep thinking you’re getting non-1% votes because of anything OTHER than hating people who are different

No… their policy is blame immigrants and convince their constituents that the whip that hits them and the boot that stomps them hurts immigrants and people of colour more than them. Meanwhile they pass bills that deregulate the capitalist class and punishes the workers.

Not to worry. I heard from El Duderino that not everyone is into the whole brevity thing 😉

Please. R wants him as their dictator, that’s why he swept the primary, and Biden pummeled himself out of the race, Trump just had to make it through a couple hours without becoming completely unhinged, and he lied on average once per speaking minute during that time.

tigeruppercut ,

Surely it was way more than one lie per minute

octopus_ink ,

Actually you are right, I misremembered! :)

By the most up-to-date count, Trump lied 50 times during the debate. That’s 16 more lies than his felony convictions. That’s 48 more lies than his impeachments, and popular vote losses. If the 90 minute debate was actually divided equally into 45 minutes of speaking time for each candidate, Trump lied more than once per minute.

I hear or read the things he’s said, and it absolutely blows my mind that anyone can’t understand how absolutely stupid/demented he is.

The guy is a moron.

breadsmasher ,
@breadsmasher@lemmy.world avatar

His supporters view him as smart. Because compared to them, he is. That should terrify everyone

Weird.

I can handle about 10 seconds of him speaking and I start to feel my brains leaking out of my ears.

How the fuck anyone can listen to him is beyond me.

You remember that episode of the Boondocks where Huey watches junk TV and becomes so exhausted and apathetic that he can no longer think for himself by the end of the episode? That’s why I refuse to even attempt to listen to Trump. Honestly I think that’s how people get suckered in by Trump; he wears down the mind so much that it becomes too much trouble to think.

BillDaCatt ,

Trump has always rambled incoherently. That isn’t new. His base loves him because he represents selfishness and racism. That is who they are. They don’t seem to care that he is a coward and a nutjob. Rich people love him because he will do just about anything for anyone who will publicly shine his shoes.

He’s a nitwit and he always has been.
