Today, someone must have handed Trump a hammer and a nail.

[LuckyCharms]

And he used them to put the final nail in his coffin.

The Harris campaign was given a boatload of riches today during Trump's event with the NABJ.

His performance was probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on television.

I cannot wait for the weeks of fallout from this.

What a fucking stupid bastard. He's a dumb fuck that just can't help himself, or control himself.

Holy shit.

[onenote]

1. He helped himself with his supporters. Which was his goal.

He didn't accept that invitation in an effort to garner Black support. He did it to show his racist base that he can stand up to Blacks.

[LuckyCharms]

2. Not enough for him.

He's fucked.

[TwilightZone]

4. We've heard that daily for eight years.

And it's never been true, with the arguable exception of the 2020 election. Every cut is supposedly fatal, and yet he's still alive politically. We're going to have to fight like hell to end him in November.

This was performative theater, and we're not the target audience.

[LuckyCharms]

5. We didn't have Kamala running directly against him for 8 years.

Watch what she does with this.

[darkstar]

12. This

[NJCher]

29. yep

The performance hall has changed.

[Sugarcoated]

91. It's going to take more than just the base to win

[Cha]

103. Well there ya GO!

Thank You!

[Cha]

102. Yeah, I really don't like to see how TSF

helped himself. They're Already in his Fucking Cult. "..stand up to Blacks".. GMAB.

He had to have FUBARed with Any potential voters.

[VMA131Marine]

3. Trump's racist base ...

is not nearly enough to win the election even if they all turn out to vote.

[Codifer]

14. The votes of tsf's base

does not matter. trump knows he has already lost.They are needed to be brown shirts. I think that our democratic government will be prepared for them...... and everything else putin has planned.

[griffi94]

24. Brown shirts and pigeons to pluck

He’s gonna double up on the grift and stunts like this help.
His racist base is already putting a money bomb together for him.

[calimary]

61. So why should he even care about that?

Wasn’t he all about bragging that he didn’t need anybody’s money because he already had plenty of his own?

Hey, I don’t have a problem seeing his fans throwing their money away.

[central scrutinizer]

88. The more for him, the less for down ticket races

It’s not like he’s going to share

[calimary]

94. You're absolutely right! He has NO plans to share a single nickel.

None whatsoever!

[Codifer]

95. What if

we could convince these cretins that Red Shirts would be way cooler.

Just like Star Trek.

[central scrutinizer]

97. I see what you did there

[tavernier]

105. He already killed a fairly large number of them with Covid

And several hundred are behind bars thanks to his call to arms to put him back in office on January 6.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Helped himself with his supprters?

How? They already were all in. He went today to try to sway a few black and swing voters, he pushed them away with a stick of dynamite.

[krkaufman]

75. Glass is half full

Trump and his campaign should probably be glad he stopped at saying Kamala wasn’t really black. I’m actually a little surprised to hear that he didn’t proclaim that he was more credibly black than Kamala.

[Squidly]

85. He came darn close

Saying he has done more for the black community than any other president, even more than Lincoln.

Listening to that interview live I couldn't believe what was coming out of his pie hole.

[GigiLeigh]

86. He has Laura Loomer for that

From xitter

Donald Trump lifted the ban on blacks and Jews coming to country clubs in Palm Beach, Florida. He also has a Fulton County mug shot, his own sneaker line, and 3 baby mamas. Trump is blacker than @KamalaHarris will ever be!"

[MorbidButterflyTat]

81. Agree.

He's got all the MAGAts he's getting. He did this so he can boast about "I've done more for the black community than anyone since Lincoln," and "Where's my African American?" "Look at me on the stage with black people."

His motives are obvious, and his methods are idiotic moronic bullshit that anyone with a brain cell can see right through.

[obamanut2012]

8. But they are already voting for him -- educated, suburban women who lean con do not like him

They want an excuse to not vote for him. They are already looking at Harris, and this? This is a very, very bad look. Many of these women, and I worked with many of them in the South, are not de facto racist because of how they vote. They have black colleagues they really like, have black friends, etc. This si bad.

[krkaufman]

76. But much like his urban rallies in 2016

… those white women are also looking for cover to rationalize their vote for him.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

84. I think it's safe to say

their "cover" is blown.

[jalan48]

16. This was intentional on his part. He wasn't flustered or upset.

[wryter2000]

19. He doesn't need help with them

He just made himself look like the moron he is.

[moose65]

25. Yeah, but he already HAS their votes!

To anyone else (young voters, women, people of color), this will only make them want to vote against him, and get their friends and family to do the same.

If any Democrat said 1/100000000th of what Trump has said, they'd be lucky to get a job licking toilets.

[yellowcanine]

42. Not sure about that. Anyway he didn't add a single voter who sees this. Which is a problem for him.

If you have to double down to get the racist vote you are losing.

[bearsfootball516]

53. Those people were already voting for him.

But there is a small amount of black voters may consider voting for him, and he can't risk losing them if he wants to win the election. And today's performance puts those voters in jeopardy.

[Renew Deal]

56. He doesn't have enough supporters for this to be a net positive

[uponit7771]

57. Disagree, he did it for attention in M$M cause his name is not out there any longer. He needs attention

[krkaufman]

78. Debate debate

Yeah, I figure this is another reason he’s waffling on the debate, just to have something for the media to talk about that isn’t more Kamala coverage.

[Diraven]

100. That's exactly how Fox News is spinning it

Basically that Trump is unafraid to answer tough questions while Harris is hiding and afraid because she hasn't done a QA event like this yet. Yeah, it's a real stretch.

[jumptheshadow]

58. Agreed

He hasn't been successful in standing up to the Vice President -- she's thwarted him at every turn -- so he had to find substitutes.

[oasis]

6. Trump was disgusting throughout the interview.

[CoopersDad]

9. Agreed to 60 minutes, bailed out at 34 minutes. Full video here:

[LuckyCharms]

10. Thank you for this. n/t

[yonder]

22. This would-be emperor truly has no clothes but most of the press is still blind.

Its hard to believe he agreed to appear at this event - what a weirdo.

And thanks for posting too.

[Metaphorical]

64. The problem is that Trump has also become lazy

He's relied upon the media showing him in the best possible light, but all of a sudden he's not the bright shiny anymore, and even the news media is getting tired of propping up his butt (and they're taking a lot of heat for it in terms of dropping ratings). That can go on for only so long .

[Squidly]

89. Take a look at what Rachel Maddow is reporting

And it makes total sense why hes being lazy.
He thinks he has this in the bag and SCOTUS is on his side....

[Susan Calvin]

41. Thank you.

I couldn't hack much of it, but I'm glad to have seen the opening, and maybe I can tolerate some more in small doses at a time. My gosh, what a whiny jerk.

[True Dough]

54. OMG! 34 minutes is too much to bear!

60 minutes would be inhumane torture. Isn't there some sort of Geneva Convention protection against that?

[krkaufman]

79. Looking forward to MSM highlighting his lack of stamina and age

nt

[lastlib]

11. They forced Biden out of the campaign for a better performance than this.....

If the GOPee was a normal political party (not a cult), they would be calling the nice gentlemen in white coats with one of those long-sleeved jackets.

That tangerine twaddler is absolutely demented.

[BComplex]

15. And if we didn't have republican media 24/7/365, the media would have been reporting on the differences.

But we do have republican media.

[rubbersole]

17. What do you have against tangerine twat-sponges?

[whathehell]

50. Um, if you are

insulting a man, how 'bout using something more appropriate, like a Male Gender slur?.

[rubbersole]

60. Making a joke about comment #11...

[ffr]

13. Would you say his performance was weird?

[EarnestPutz]

18. Why yes, that's exactly the word that I'd use. Weird. Really weird.

[BattleRow]

51. Weirdly

Peculiar.

That's a term used in times gone by for folks who were "touched" and "not quite right".

Usually it was a close relative,hidden away, that was spoken of ,"in hushed tones",as ...peculiar.

[tavernier]

106. First cousin to Bizarre

And of course with a large scoop of Creepy

[BattleRow]

109. When the decaying family

tree has very few branches...

[bagimin]

20. Worse than weird

Worse than weird
Far worse than weird
and I'm white.

[EarnestPutz]

21. Trump broke two of the main Republican rules for campaigning. Always appear only before your own.....

.....crowds and never take questions.

[ouija]

23. Don-old is done

[Dem2theMax]

39. Oooh! I love that! Don-old!

[IzzaNuDay]

87. Dotard Don-old!

Yeah, we need to make it stick!

[housecat]

26. rolling snowball

It was easy to predict tfg would bail out of a debate with Kamala. If Kamala's snowball keeps rolling fast, he will likely find an excuse to drop out of the campaign rather than lose to her in a landslide.

[NJCher]

33. now that would be interesting

If Vance survives (iffy), then it would be a Vance/Harris race.

But too late to do this, as I understand it. Regardless, it's entertaining to think about.

Also, he might come up with some health excuse that precludes him from running and get out of it that way. Maybe Dr. Ronny Jackson/Johnson can say he had a heart attack.

[BattleRow]

46. Trying to lowball

a snowball..

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Does Donald identify as white or orange 🍊?

[NJCher]

35. I was totally aware he was white!

He's been going around orange for forever. You mean he's telling everyone he's white now?

[orthoclad]

28. Sometimes I get the feeling that he

is just a puppet, grotesquely dancing for the masses, while the puppet-masters are building our doom behind the curtain.

It's encouraging that he is slipping in the polls, but polls don't mean much in grasping The Power. Half of our 21st century presidents LOST the popular vote. The puppet masters have learned how to game the EC. And now there is news about how local and state election boards have been seized by liars and cheats. Many thousands of votes have been challenged by just a few bad actors.

The Right is not counting on votes. They are counting on the vote-counters. We need to clean that up BEFORE the election.

[misanthrope]

37. Bingo. I see his arrogance as a nod

to his confidence in their malevolent machinations.

[orthoclad]

45. We were all busy saying "look what he said now"

while his staff was busy writing Project 2025.

He hypnotizes his fans and horrifies the sane, but the REAL damage is all the election subversion ushering in a plan for totalitarianism.

[DownriverDem]

30. As someone in the audience yelled

"Sir, have you no shame?"

[pwb]

31. He was doing his lying accordion hands

through it all.

[LuckyCharms]

32. He actually had me doing it, mocking him.

And I'm the only one here.

[ouija]

34. Oh Don-old, cat got your tongue?

[misanthrope]

36. Or maybe that is the behavior of someone who believes

that it doesn't matter what they do on the trail because they have a plan in place to monkey wrench the election through legal and electoral hijinks. I see it as a tell about his confidence in his party's skulduggery.

[yardwork]

38. I keep hoping....

[NotASurfer]

40. It's more like a vampire movie

You think the stake through the heart did the trick, and cremating the remains was good insurance, but then one of the vampire's loyal minions uses a magic vampire ring, human blood, the original carburetor from a '59 Roadmaster, and I dunno the juice of a Vidalia onion, and the vampire is back rage-tweeting at 3 in the morning. I hate that damn movie.

[BattleRow]

43. Hammer and nails?

I'd say it was more like a nail gun!

[Skittles]

44. why do you assume there will be weeks of fallout?

he says stupid fucking every fucking day

[LuckyCharms]

47. Because he fed Kamala Harris some perfectly cooked campaign food.

[Skittles]

48. ahh, fallout driven by VP Harris

I just cannot see the PRESS attacking him like they did for Biden's debate performance.....

[LuckyCharms]

49. I agree, the press will drop it soon. Kamala probably won't.

[Gaytano70]

52. He wanted back in the headlines. Period.

And the sick F got his wish

[LymphocyteLover]

55. Yes, and all totally predictable. We just can't let up on the message that TRUMP IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT

[wiggs]

59. He has said he doesn't need votes! This is more evidence of that. In his mind, his may

not be self-destructing but just entertaining himself and his cult followers. He loves to insult, bully, cheat, lie, get over on someone.

He has a different plan that doesn't involve voters who are black, women, lgbtq, cat owners, single, latino, union workers, seniors on social security and medicare...except to the extent that he will ask his cult to be fearful of them.

[no_hypocrisy]

62. If Trump weren't risking convictions and jail unless he wins in November,

I'd say he was self-sabotaging his prospects.

[mwb970]

63. trump will drop out at some point.

He will claim that the election is already too "rigged" for him to participate in. Surely he now knows that will lose big time. He can't handle that.

[onenote]

67. People have been predicting he would quit since 2015

They’ve been wrong over and over. He won’t quit the race. You can bet the ranch on it.

[Dock_Yard]

69. No, he can't drop himself out!

He has no choice but to keep running, where he will LOSE the popular and electoral vote counts.
But then, we know his plan is to gin up "The Big Lie, The Sequel" ... say he won, sue several "close" states, and LOSE every case.
And then, he will try to do "Jan 6th, The Sequel" all over again, with HARRIS officiating the electoral ballot counting!

He has to continue this charade in order to keep evading his pending indictments from proceeding in their respective jurisdictions.

[Justice matters.]

98. Except for this time, the National Guard will be deployed in advance.

All around the Capitol grounds and the White House.

The convicted felon's J6, The Sequel will attract as many of his crackpot loons as his criminal trial did in New York: 1.

[Skittles]

93. he lost big last time

although I do agree, losing to a woman / POC would be especially painful to his pathetic ego

[BWdem4life]

65. Don't call him weird.

Or stupid.

[LaMouffette]

66. Y'know what I think explains Trump's behavior today, and every time that he interacts with Black people or women

of any race who ask him challenging questions?

His inferiority complex. He feels DEEPLY inferior to what he believes to be his peers, other white wealthy businessmen, probably as a result of being raised by his dick of a businessman father.

But in his twisted and damaged psyche, he tells himself that at LEAST he is superior to Black people, other people of color, and all women.

He thinks he is so superior to these groups of people that he feels safe treating them obnoxiously.

He would never dare say these things to one of his peers. Her would never dare speak this rudely to say, Putin. He only does this to people he perceives as inferior to himself.

What a sick, damaged creepo.

[soldierant]

68. The truth is, although we know he's not trying to appeal to us,

we really have no idea to whom he is trying to appeal, other than his obvious crazy base.

I this were actualy losing behavior to him, we would have won in 2016 (I mean the eElectoral college - sinse we did win the popular vote.

He may not be trying to get anyone in particular to vote for him. He may be trying for people to look for an excuse not to vote. Such as closet misogynists, as in 2016.

[GarColga]

70. If Trump is stupid enough

to appear before an association of Black journalists, he's dumb enough to actually debate Kamala Harris. Can't wait!!

[Bolo Boffin]

71. Honest to God, I think he did the "she turned black" line on purpose.

His rally at Harrisburg is projecting an old story from Business Insider with the headline: California's Kamala Harris Becomes First Indian-American Senator

He did it on purpose. This is his campaign's first actual calculated and coordinated attack on Harris, that she's exploiting her race or rejecting it as convenient.

And this is of course not meant to bring in black voters or any other minority. It's meant to enflame his white voters.

[keithbvadu2]

72. A hammer and his fingernail.

[C Moon]

73. If I didn't know any better, I'd think the gop is trying to get him to drop out.

Maybe not. He does have a bigger following than any other right wing nut head.

[Dawgman49]

74. All the time he needed

This was to show his base that he can go after these uppity black women….details to follow on faux

[nycbos]

77. Do you want to tempt the wrath from high atop the thing.

[KatyaR]

80. Kamala needs a campaign ad based on the old adage,

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them."

Every day he shows us more of who us REALLY, REALLY is.

[maptap22]

82. I disagree that he did this on purpose.

The interview was supposed to be an hour and his people pulled him at 34 minutes so they knew he was bombing. I think he can’t help himself. Being a racist asshole is who he is - believe it. It’s not him playing some master class of gaming the media.

[Turbineguy]

83. Trump is a fuck-up

and he'll only get worse.

The dolts who enable him should ask themselves.... "is this asshole worth going to jail for?"

[Dem4life1970]

90. If he was just playing to his base...

...his base is not enough to win.

[johnnyfins]

92. He and his henchmen know this

They are using the same playbook from 2020. Only this time, there are more henchmen. Im sure they are also invading the shit out of Kamala's privacy, digging into every tiny thing in her past. He is one DESPERATE mother fucker.

[colorado_ufo]

96. Well, to his credit . . .

his right ear looked very good. What healing power!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

99. And yet nearly half the country wants him to be

our president. I never thought I'd see the day when my pessimism about the human race would be so thoroughly justified.

I cannot imagine how anyone can even listen to him talk without wanting to scream, "STFU!"

[generalbetrayus]

101. How long before Orange Julius Caesar asks for Kamala's

long-form birth certificate?

[Brainfodder]

104. Evil frothy excrement for brains on display

His defense is his nasty question dodge routine that has that ridiculously inappropriate generic rehearsed slimy characteristics, his walking dick move persona stays intact no matter what and still sticking to his less hidden yuge bald spot and his multiple inch lifts since his height lie could embarrass him, since he aint even 6' tall, apparently.

Hopefully at the next public forum he is asked to please step on this scale and can we see your college grades and shoes please?

My contempt grows for this shitshow.

[Ray Bruns]

107. "His performance was probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on television"

J. D. Vance,”Here, hold my beer.”

[BattleRow]

108. I'm waiting for Orange to become

a new black...

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

110. He made JD Vance look smart.

Query: If something happened where TFG couldn't serve andJD had to step into the president's shoes, would the G7 let someone his age sit at the adults' table?

[BrightKnight]

111. Throw softballs at the nasty old man. It's past his nap time.

[cstanleytech]

112. I wouldn't be so sure as remember the same was said by others when the audio tapes about grabbing women.

So, I'm not going to relax until Harris is sworn in and Trump's behind bars.

[JustAnotherGen]

113. I actually hope

We get back to a Harris Truth - a Trump Lie - A Harris Truth.

We cannot let 45 Control the Discussion.
