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.

It’s rich that he is claiming she has a low IQ when he got gentlemen Cs while at Penn. One of his professors called him his worst student ever.

He said “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”

god i hope so, the only thing we need after dems call him weird, is republicans calling him weird.

In less than two months Trump will be able to sell his shares in Trump Media/Truth Social. The value of those shares are artificially inflated. Put yourself in his shoes. Sell while the price is still high and stab everyone in the back or wait until the election which he risks losing and possibly see the stock crash hard. If he loses, his political career is certainly over and the GOP will know his brand of politics can’t win national elections. They’llbe lookingto sweep him under the rug. If he cashes in early all that money could buy a lot of lawyers to drag out the trials he faces and that’s been his strategy so far.

That’s just his personality when he doesn’t get what he wants. He always has gone off the rails. He’s a rich, entitled brat that never had to grow up because he has always been able to just get rid of anyone who didn’t do everything he wanted.

Republicans only have themselves to blame for throwing their weight behind a narcississt crook rapist who is losing his marbles and his entourage of more crooks and enablers. Imagine how much they might have accomplished if their candidate was competent and surrounded by competent people.

Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”

How about this: instead of a debate they both take an IQ test created and administered by a neutral party. Recordings of them taking the test will be released to the public once they are both finished.

Burn_The_Right ,

For a conservative, only a conservative qualifies as “neutral”. Everyone else is “the extreme left”.

Treczoks ,

For some Republicans, even some other Republicans are “the extreme left”.

Trump would boast that he managed to colour inside the lines “and they were very small lines!”.

SparrowRanjitScaur ,

Test administrator’s response: “Sir there was no coloring portion on this test.”

systemglitch ,

I wonder how one would find an actual neutral party with one of the most polarizeing people in history involved.

As long as they were provided with the same test, the same answer key was used, and we are able to watch each of them take the test, it really shouldn’t matter. Even if the test was “name Trump’s children” Kamala would score higher.

Doesn’t matter, it’s not like he’d ever agree to publicly displaying his actual level of intelligence.

UrPartnerInCrime ,

Nah fuck it have the test fully made by the opposing party and “Kamabla” would still whoop him

That… Might actually be a better option. They could throw whatever nonsense at Kamala and she’ll still do well, and he’ll get basic questions relevant to government and fail abysmally.

Question 1: “Who legally won the 2020 US presidential election?”

Even better: after both parties submit their questions, they are told the candidates will have to answer both tests.

blackstampede ,

Just have them read an essay on camera and then write a short summary.

JovialMicrobial ,

I want them to take a test on basic US history, and/or the intelligence test from idiocracy.
I’m actually pretty curious about how trump would do with matching the shaped blocks to the corresponding holes.

How about a one question test: have you ever tried to overthrow the government of the United States?

Hasn’t this already been happening for the past 8 years?

No, Trump is just preparing his insanity defense for when he loses.

workerONE ,

He never had any marbles to lose. He doesn’t read and has a short attention span. He’s only interested in enriching himself and gaining power, he doesn’t care about anyone else, he doesn’t care about this country. He doesn’t care about people’s beliefs, they are just a tool he uses as a means to an end.

NewNewAccount ,

Headlines like this have existed for the entire time Trump has been in the political spotlight.

Do not trust conservatives will see this and agree. Do not get complacent. Vote. Encourage friends and family to vote.

nova_ad_vitum , (edited )

At this point the people who are already Trump supporters will not be swayed. He was always nuts, he was always weird, he always spewed out nonsensical word-salad. The fight is for independents who are still on the fence, and everyone on both sides considers them gullible idiots, and campaign strategy will reflect that.

eestileib ,

Everyone correctly considers them gullible idiots when it comes to politics.

All those people will have other areas of individual expertise as well.

Also the supporters who aren’t diehards. Most races are won largely by just how motivated likely voters are to show up.

Largely why Hillary lost.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

They’re not wrong, it’s just that being in a breakdown/meltdown state is normal for him.

Landless2029 ,

My concern with Harris running is all the positivity will get people complacent due to the polls.

Polls don’t mean shit. Get out and vote. Tell everyone to go vote.

JimSamtanko ,

So, based on this- he’s been having a nervous breakdown for the past four years following four year of…. [Checks notes] a four year nervous breakdown.
