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.

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

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.

cynthorpe ,

I mean Trump

Mental instability should be automatic disqualification from federal service

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

kent_eh ,

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

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.

eestileib ,

Yeah but Haley would have a serious problem getting the Republican nomination, because she isn’t white or a guy.

GTac ,

How would you be able to tell?

Nougat ,

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

Donald Trump is losing his marbles

We all know that. For years.

kandoh ,

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

Milk_Sheikh ,

He was SHOOK at the RNC days after the attempt - it would have been the funniest thing for someone to pop a balloon right as he walked out

Tja ,

Ha! Missed me.

eestileib ,

Well that’s one thing I can sympathize with him about.

Hell yeah public meltdown LET’S GO!

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.

Hikermick ,

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.

gnutrino ,

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