"I can't be losing in the polls because there are 5,000 boats and thousands of trucks..."





Daniel Dale
@ddale8

Trump asked why the polls show him trailing: “I don’t know, I don’t understand it, I don’t believe them. I don’t believe the polls. Because we’ve never had this much support. They have a boat thing, they have 5,000 boats. They have thousands of trucks all over the country.”

Narrator: But what about the way more populated cities where most of the votes come from?

Trump: dead silence......

How come we're reliably blue with all those Trump supporters out there?

I tell them, they vote for Republican candidates out in Spokanistan, where nobody lives. And we vote for Democratic candidates in Pierce, King, and Snohomish counties, where everyone lives.

Has the commander in chief forgotten the lost vessels from the Battle of Lake Travis?

The flag symbolizes, “I’m an idiot for trump, please look at me!”.

His overuse of hyperbolic generalizations is wearing very thin now. He has burned that out and its not having the same impact on as many people.

He doesn't seem to understand that at all, though, which is good. He lives in the "best" and "never had so much", etc. It might be his Norman Vincent Peale "religion" where positive thinking becomes a both an excuse to step on people anytime and a delusional cocoon of endless denial.

It really can't match well with the dualism of reality itself, no matter how far it has got him. I would say that their are gophers of truth boring through his dense reality tunnel at this point and we are seeing the cozy nest of his narcissism unravel in real time.

However, that can be a real threat to his ego's existence and it may infuriate him more and more. The steroids may also be fuel for it and we do see the toxic gasses rising from his demise.
