Republicans worry Trump is having a ‘public nervous breakdown’

‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/05/republicans-cringe-trump-harris-attacks-00172724.

Theoretically, what would happen if this close to the election, the stress causes a blood vessel to burst and Trump just strokes out?

I mean, besides the post-jedi levels of celebration, would Vance just be inserted into the ticket if it’s too far along to have a new primary?

His cult would still vote for him if he’s got a pulse.

I think almost dying really rattled him. He seems very unthrilled about being out in public now.

If he wins, his legal troubles go away. If he loses they come back with a vengeance.

Looks like this weird old man is starting to get nervous and lash out.

Please continue.

Finding out the Supreme Court isn’t going give him unlimited power might’ve blown a gasket.

On top of what you said if Harris wins a prosecutor who Trump constantly insults will be president, and Biden, who Trump also insults and put his son in prison, will have 3 months to do whatever the fuck he wants. Lol

lolcatnip ,

All true except Biden had nothing to do with his son being prosecuted. At most, Biden will allow him to go to prison by leaving office without pardoning him (which I believe he will do, because it’s the not-corrupt thing to do.)

Cry baby snowflake felon is little cry baby snowflake felon - big shocker here

IllNess ,

Remember when Amber Rose said she would back Trump because he was a “real man”?

Lol

It’s almost always just power plays imo. On both sides.

I think a big problem we have is that our populace is so large. We have a lot of culture and lifestyles to embrace, so politicians in order to appeal to the broad audience wash out most of who they actually are and end up with these surface level generalists who still have personalities below that we won’t see.

Hard to be a singular representative for a large populace and stay popular.

both sides

ignores the rest of the comment

His Olympic-level mental gymnastics abilities are starting to fail at keeping him convinced that what is happening to him isn’t someone else’s fault.

How come when this guy has a public nervous break down it’s big news, but when the rest of us have one it’s “suck it up and get therapy?”

I want people to get worried about the country when I have a nervous breakdown.

MagicShel ,

How is your nuclear engineering? You could potentially make folks quite nervous, indeed.

peopleproblems ,

I have no certifications, but I do understand more than I need to about PWR and BWR plants. I mean, I couldn’t run a plant myself, I don’t know what all the buttons do, and I don’t know the various smaller parts and components.

I mean if you gave me time and low enriched nuclear fuel, a machinist, an electronics technician, and some money to buy other components and generators I could probably get one built. Would it be safe? Unlikely, but it would work.

But that’s also sort of the same lines as, yes technically I’ve worked on a flight control computer for commercial air craft, or heart pumps. I’ve definitely been capable of working on missile control systems but I decided I didn’t like the idea of building weapons.

So I mean, in all, how worried I make other people is entirely dependent on what makes people worry.

Being commander in chief seems to make a lot of people worry without a lot of effort

Had Trump not regularly insulted people who seek out therapy there might be a bit more sympathy for the situation he finds himself in.

DarkDecay ,

Could just be his old man dementia finally surfacing. He’s fucking old, the oldest presidential candidate for sure. He’s done, he should just drop out, it’s pathetic.

dumples ,

He’s way to old to be running for president. He should drop out

IllNess ,

Would have been interest if Nikki Haley was the Republican candidate.

That means a person of color woman would be president of the US with almost a 100% certainty. Also the for first Indian American.

GTac ,

How would you be able to tell?

gnutrino ,

Pretty sure he lost his marbles years ago, if he even had any to start with…

brucethemoose ,

To be fair, there’s a lot of bad blood between Kinzinger and Trump.

cynthorpe ,

Is there anyone he does not have bad blood with

brucethemoose ,

I mean, there’s not an open feud with most Republican senators. Kinzinger essentially retired because he was anti Trump, like most anti Trump Republican congresspeople.

“Donald Trump is losing his marbles”

Yeah, that’s been obvious for a while.

I wonder if the republicans want to do a copycat switcheroo of the Dems replacing Biden and replace Trump with someone younger and more quietly fascist. But oh well, this is the monster they created. They’re stuck with him.

Pretty sure they can’t at this point, some Ohio deadline, which they need to win.

At least 20 years too late on that "worry."
