OMG. Trump is committing suicide.

Trump goes low as Harris gains ground

In a succession of crude social media posts, Trump called Harris “low IQ,” “dumb” and lacking “mental capacity.”

Trump’s campaign is showing no signs of pulling back. In a statement, Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesperson, echoed the former president’s insults, saying, “It’s be a disaster to have a dumb and low IQ individual like Kamala Harris as President of the United States. She has shown he ineptness by allowing crime to run rampant, failing as Border Czar, and being the most liberal candidate ever to run for President. The stakes are too great to let a dummy play pretend President.”

If anyone thinks this is going to play well with women, girls, girl dads, or everyone who are not misogynists, they have another thing coming. Trumpworld has completely lost control of their candidate..

administer it, guaranteed it will make him look small.

Some of them were under the impression he was a 'great businessman" because thats the image they'd seen on TV for years. Some thought "it takes a businessman to run the govt!!" Some thought he'd "change" once he got into office (like most presidents do). Some thought he'd make "great trade deals"
The people I know of who have dumped him thought one or more of those things. They didnt vote for him because he was an asshole. I've known these people most of my life so I believe what they tell me.
I just hope that EVERYONE knows some trump voters who have left him. Because if its seen by many those votes add up. And in the battleground states EVERY SINGLE VOTE counts whether its a vote FOR Harris or a trump vote NOT cast

and tax cuts for the rich. Very bigly he campaigned on those things. His supposed "business acumen" was just cover for the anti immigrant/muslim/BLM fear-mongering. The economy ALWAYS does better under Democrats. They know this. It's a fucking mask. Just like Jeezuz Beard piety is a mask for all kings of bigotry.

Cutting programs that go to marginalized people has been racist code since at least Nixon. They left trump, not because he was a racist fuck, but because they saw that he was no longer effective in carrying out the Atwater, Gingrich, Reagan agenda. They might dump trump, but they'll still vote for Blackburn, Abbott, Desantis, Greene, Boebert...

The whole of the GOP campaigns on trumpism, which is racist at its core, "plausible" deniability notwithstanding.

If the million ignorant, abhorrent, and unethical things he's done and said haven't turned people off, I don't think a continuation of that behavior is going to make them suddenly have an epiphany. We always insist that his latest outrage just has to be the final, fatal one, for voters, but that's seemingly never the case. His supporters don't care, and the rest of us turned on him long ago.

He knows turnout is the key, as do we, and we just have to motivate our side to outvote theirs. I think we fixate way too much on Trump here, but the campaign understands that we need a balance between attacking Trump and motivating the left and left-leaning independents. People need reasons to vote for us and not just against Trump. Clearly, there are plenty, but we need to ensure that we get them across.

He also has no clue how to run against Kamala, so he's going with the tried-and-true. A lot of what he's saying is just repeating stuff he was saying four years ago when she was picked as the VP candidate.

Example from 2020:

Of the authors Herrnstein passed away before the book was published leaving Charles Murray an opening to his own racist conclusions. Murray is still a much sought after speaker in RW circles.


After reviewers had more time to review the book's research and conclusions, more significant criticisms began to appear.[12] Nicholas Lemann, writing in Slate, said that later reviews showed the book was "full of mistakes ranging from sloppy reasoning to mis-citations of sources to outright mathematical errors."[12] Lemann said that "Unsurprisingly, all the mistakes are in the direction of supporting the authors' thesis."[12]

According to a 1996 response by former American Psychological Association president Donald Campbell, only ten of those who signed were actual experts in intelligence measurement.[20] The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that 20 of the signers were recipients of funding from the white-supremacist organization the Pioneer Fund, including Gottfredson herself.[19]
In subsequent years, both the substance and the interpretation of this letter have received widespread criticism from the scientific community.

Criticism by Stephen Jay Gould
edit
Stephen Jay Gould wrote that the "entire argument" of the authors of The Bell Curve rests on four unsupported, and mostly false, assumptions about intelligence:[13][28]
Intelligence must be reducible to a single number.
Intelligence must be capable of rank ordering people in a linear order.
Intelligence must be primarily genetically based.
Intelligence must be essentially immutable.
In a 1995 interview with Frank Miele of Skeptic, Murray denied making each of these four assumptions.[29]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve

Charles Murray
Murray identifies as a libertarian.[65] He has also been described as conservative,[66][67][68][69] far-right,[70][71][72][73] and as a white nationalist.[74]

he is a master at projection. Does it get more than both of those at once calling her "low IQ," "dumb," and lacking mental capacity? Could he describe himself any more clearly? He has always done this, it is predictable. She allows crime to run rampant? Like, the crimes he commits? And the perfect topper, the one that should be used in a Kamala ad, is "The stakes are too great to let a dummy play pretend President." EXACTLY!!! I hope he says that out loud so it can be used in an ad.

Attacking a political opponent is so easy. Find an unpopular policy they advocate and attack it or find an unpopular donor they have and attack or lean into the border issue. I can say this because they aren’t looking on DU for advice from me, but damn, there’s a playbook on this! Not sure why they aren’t using it. Calling your opponent dumb is just silly.

They are really, really, REALLY out of their pea-brains if they think attacks against Kamala Harris's intelligence are going to go better for them than their attacks on her heritage. I am tired of slamming my head against the wall in frustration, so instead...

What do you expect from a guy who was a spokesperson for the UFC. Trump always finds the most bombastic spokesperson he can. It is a shtick that is growing old. If you watch him he always seems on the verge of having his head blow up like the guy in Scanners. Trump only picks the best.

The stakes are too great to let a dummy play pretend President.

The only problem is whose mouth it came out of. I have a perfectly serviceable tuxedo cat who's smarter than Donald Trump is and would do a much better job as president.

Fortunately, I don't have to let my cat go to Washington because we've got a perfectly serviceable and extremely intelligent childless cat lady on the ballot who will make a WONDERFUL president.

As a childless cat person, I approve this message.

He continues to alienate any supporters other than the hateful, rage addled deplorables. I’ve backed off paying too much attention to politics since Joe endorsed Kamala. I was pretty worried up to that points but now I’m confident this election will be a historic blow out and maybe we can start washing off the years of trumpism.

Another election loss, bankruptcy and facing prison time might make death wishful thinking. Hanging in his cell like Epstein would not be an easy task he would need assistance hefting that bulk to the rafters. In addition his Secret Service detail will protect his sorry mortal coils with extra villigence from deranged 20 year olds and murderous negligent jailers. He could just eat himself to death or die of self loathing. However he does manage to expire expect it to be weird.

Trump is projecting again.

Trump is one too talk.

Trump likes to boast how well he did in college.

Michael Cohen, his lawyer at the time, is on record saying he sent letters warning Fordham University not to publish Trump's college transcripts.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fordham-university-confirms-cohen-warned-it-not-to-disclose-trumps-grades

There is no public record that he made any dean's list, etc.

There are reports that Trump required visual aids to understand complex concepts in the White House

To continue calling Harris the "border czar" when you've been told over and over again that she was assigned to work in the originating nations to help them make conditions better so their citizens don't flee. She did not manage the border.

I understand they use Goebbels tactics and consider that clever but continuous lying isn't smart, only dishonorable.

Reagan used to do the same thing--tell a lie, get called on it, but when he hit rewind, he simply repeated it again. And at least Reagan would make the effort to pretend he had listened, rather than screeching like a two year old that he won't 'cuz he don't wanna like the Tangerine Twitler does.

This refusal to correct their blatant lies but instead double down on them has been GOP SOP ever since 1980.

They will keep digging until the reach China. In a way, seemingly easy to manipulate or predict.

These people will go one and on and one while I am trying to take care of the issue and get off phone... lol a real challenge for me. I did get Harris history so here on out I can say 7 yrs district att in SF, AG in biggest state, Senator from biggest state, VP... what do you mean she has no accomplishments???

118. He's going all Clayton Williams now
Sun Aug 4, 2024, 02:12 PM
Aug 2024

When Clayton Williams ran for governor in 1990, he made an offhand remark so famous it should appear on his tombstone—though, of course, he’d never allow it. It was a rainy day in March, and the press had gathered at his ranch outside Midland to watch some cattle roping. When one of his hands mentioned to him that the reporters were getting restless, good ol’ boy Williams tried to make light of the situation by comparing bad weather to rape: “If it’s inevitable,” he said, “just relax and enjoy it.” After that comment appeared in print and went on to make national news, Williams’ twenty-point lead over Ann Rich­ards plummeted, and she went on to beat him by a hair.
