Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trump—but we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.

Donald Trump is in free-fall. Read this description from Sunday’s Washington Post of how the GOP nominee spent last week: “[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.”

If you didn’t know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, Trump has called Kennedy the “dumbest member” of the Kennedy family and a “radical left lunatic.” Kennedy has calledTrump a “terrible human being” and “probably a sociopath.”

    I’ve been saying this for years. Trump is a LOSER, both literally and figuratively. His businesses hemorrhage money, he has lost in two presidential elections so far and in the one he won, he lost the popular vote, which is practically unheard of for a Republican nominee. He wears lifts in his shoes to fix his weird posture that he got from a life of physical inactivity, he sprays himself in orange to look like some bizarre version of tan to cover up his hideous pasty skin. His hair has always been bizarre. He is a born loser, who only “succeeded” because he was literally born rich and has skated on his daddy’s money ever since.

    Call him what he is: a sad, ugly, weird little loser who people only tolerate in hopes they might pick up a few hundred dollar bills after he’s done wiping his ass with them.

      In the modern era the gop usually loses the popular vote. GW won it in 04 bc of the war and that’s the only one since his daddy ended his term.

      Before that I think the popular vote pretty much always lined up w the electoral college for both parties.

      and every reasonable, somewhat aware person has known these things since the 80s or 90s. Prior to 2016, the idea of Trump being president would’ve made anyone who has read a newspaper or magazine laugh their ass off.
