In reply to the discussion: Trump's 'outright psychopathy' on display in his new email meltdowns [View all]Buns_of_Fire

https://www.salon.com/2024/05/02/campaign-emails-more-panicked-during-his-manhattan-trial/
...in what is almost a parody of the nice, sane, and normal politics that President Biden is modeling for his voters and other supporters, he recently announced a contest where one of his donors could win an ice cream date with him and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
Bidens respectable communications style is both a strength and a weakness: his campaign emails are often so calm that they risk not communicating the extreme dangerousness of Dictator Trump and what will happen if he and his MAGA movement take power in 2025. President Biden sometimes raises his metaphorical voice in his campaign emails, but he needs to be screaming much louder and much more frequently. Ice cream dates will likely be no match against an opposition that is offering a political version of a steel cage death match and the terror dome.
To that point, what story is Donald Trump telling his voters, donors, and other supporters?
His fundraising and other campaign emails are a relentless onslaught designed to create fear and terror about a doomed and ruined America that is being destroyed from within by vermin i.e. the Democrats, liberals, non-white people, Muslims, George Soros, the Deep State, woke, Black Lives Matter, President Obama and Hillary Clinton, those who are not White Christians, the evil news media that are in league with nebulous forces to turn the country into a Stalinist-Maoist-Communist hellhole equipped with gulags and prisons where the MAGA people, "real Americans (meaning White people), and their Dear Leader Trump will be imprisoned.

You may be right, he might be crazy, but he just might be the lunatic the nation is looking for.

You are probably right, Trump is viewed through rose colored glasses by many Americans.

They see him as a strong, devout, smart and very wealthy man who will defend the poor downtrodden whites of the nation.

If Trump jumped out of his chair and physically attacked the judge his poll numbers would increase.

if he's telling his lawyers what to say in court, he's telling his tweeter what to write.
