[“]His childish nickname for her is ‘laughing Kamala’ because she feels joy, and joy is something he has never experienced and doesn’t understand. Faced with the reality that he is now running against a vibrant, intelligent, experienced woman who is fully two decades younger than he is, Donald spent Sunday and Monday flailing, trying to find an angle of attack that would stick.”

“Donald also hates women (especially strong women) and minorities, so you can see why current Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris terrifies him to the point of incoherence. He says she’s ‘crazy.’”

“They’re so desperate and so afraid that they’re floating the idea of suing to force Biden to stay on the ballot,” Ms. Trump continued — an idea that is doomed to fail. “We, on the other hand, are more energized than we have ever been, and I believe that we are going to make history this year when we elect our first woman president and saving democracy. Because of the right’s desperation and total lack of decency, we’re going to have to go through hell to get there — slogging through the muck of their racism and misogyny — but we will get there, and I believe the country will change for the better in the process.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_L._Trump:

Mary Lea Trump (born May 3, 1965)[2] is an American psychologist and writer. A niece of former US president Donald Trump, she has been critical of him as well as the rest of the Trump family. Her 2020 book about him and the family, Too Much and Never Enough, sold nearly one million copies on the day of its release. A second book, The Reckoning, followed in 2021.

In September 2020, Mary Trump sued her uncle Donald, aunt Maryanne, and the estate of her late uncle Robert, claiming that they defrauded her of tens of millions of dollars from her interests in her grandfather Fred Trump’s real-estate portfolio. In November 2022, the lawsuit was dismissed. In September 2021, Donald Trump sued Mary for at least $100 million for providing The New York Times with financial documents which it used as a source for a 2018 exposé about his wealth and the family’s finances.

      How much is Trump’s Racism the real thing?!

      I mean, he definitelly plays that tune to entice a certain type of person to support him, but I’ve always had the idea that he was an equal opportunity asshole, or if you will a “race” of one, a person for whom there no “us” just “me”

      I think he’s terrified of losing to somebody who is not from the same social circle as he is and might very well not got easy on him (like Biden did), quite independently of gender or race.

        Yeah, the casino thing is questionable. I don’t know though, maybe Wilbur Ross will bail him out again and get appointed to secretary of commerce again… A position I’m sure he got on merit and not the fact he’s a coal baron that bailed out Dementia Don the first time he did it.

      It’s a lot harder to notice the additional incoherence due to aging on people who constantly say things uncorrelated with objective truth (what’s - and I kid you not - scientifically called “bullshitting”) - when they’re young they’ll say whatever independently of truthfulness because they’re trying to manipulate others, whilst when they’re older they’ll say whatever independently of truthfulness because they’re mentally lost - the output is similar but the reason is different, so it’s harder to tell from the outside how much is their bullshit the product of an aged mind.

          If you didn’t realize that when you heard him talk

          That’s the thing. He was miles ahead in the debate, even though I highly disagree with the argument.

            Biden lost that debate wholesale. But that was by degrees compared to how Trump looks next to a wiser, calmer, and YOUNGER candidate.

    I am so hyped about this guys like there’s no better person than poc woman to crush trump

    It’s like the fate and destiny stuff I can feel the wheels of history converging on this moment.

    And again we barely avoided nuclear extinction in the most human style of weird accidents and random occurrences as if the simulation was merely testing the edge case scenario. Poland, France, USA now go go go.

    There’s still afd left and in Italy that bitch also orban but if Kamala is chosen then that will accelerate things. First fucking woman and poc too left as fuck that will be such a blow to altright worldwide. She also was a frikin prosecutor.

    I have this uneasy feeling that there may be some attempt by desperate rats. if they all feel like trump and there is million of em then some are inevitable to try something. This is my biggest worry

      Unless she produces the amounts of frustration with progressive paths similar to those of Barack Obama.

      Who is without doubt very intelligent and real, only too real. From his campaign and such everybody expected some wonders to happen, while his time turned out to be as realpolitiking, safe playing and professional as it gets. Invading yet another country would do less harm.

    I’ve read her book “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man” and I have to say, the insight it gave into how Donald Trump came to be was astounding for such a short book. It’s 250 pages, but well worth the read.

      I assume you mean D.J.T is grasping at straws? Which he absolutely is! “Laughing Kamala” isn’t the solid burn he thinks it is LOL Suing to force Biden to stay in the race? Haha LOL good one! Oh, they’re serious? I don’t think forcing someone to stay in a race against their will is a viable legal option?? And I bet Trump is regretting his VP choice now! His whole platform seems to be “Chicks right, they should shut up and get back in the kitchen! Fricken crazy cat women running the place! NO they can’t choose what to do with their own body! Get pregnant or you’re worthless! Shouldn’t be able to vote if you don’t churn out babies!” Awesome VP to run in a race against a woman LOL Loved his speech about how he drank a diet mountain dew yesterday and today… Riveting stuff! LOL Is it telling that I can remember the soda he referenced but I can’t remember his name? I’m sure it’ll come to me…

      Ummm what? Kamala was the top prosecutor of the largest state in the US for like 7 years, on top of actually knowing her shit unlike Trump, and being 2 decades younger than him, she would absolutely tear Trump apart in a debate. Trump knows this obviously, which is why he’s started avoiding debates and will probably run away from debating until election day.

      Then there’s the fact that J.D. Vance has been probably the Republicans’ worst VP pick in recent history. Nobody likes him, he’s uncharismatic and has pretty much no relevant skills. He’s already seeing some of the lowest approval ratings of any VP candidate by Republicans. He wouldn’t survive a debate against someone like Josh Shapiro or Andy Beshear. The good thing here is that Harris can pick out of a lot of people who could humiliate Vance for her VP pick, who also bring with them key swing states.

      Trump’s campaign is on high alert because they know they have no real defense against a Harris campaign. They’re scrambling to find some sort of misleading rhetoric that will stick and run with it as quickly as possible, but right now their entire position is basically just “DEI hire, she’s a woman, her parents are foreigners, she was a prosecutor so surely she hates black people almost as much as we do” and they know that isn’t going to work for long. The only real thing they really have against her is her pro-Israel position, but it’s pretty easy to point out that Republicans are obsessed with Israel too so it’s not exactly foolproof.

      Of course Trump is having meltdowns. He’s a womanizing, racist and anti-immigrant felon running off of anti-queer rhetoric, who hasn’t achieved anything as a politician and is now the oldest nominated presidential candidate in American history; up against a young (relative to him) prosecutor who’s a mixed-race woman with immigrant parents, who can actually point to major positive things she’s done for this country despite having some flawed beliefs being “tough on crime” in her past. Plus she’s actually willing to do what Biden (and other politicians) weren’t willing to do and actually attack the worst parts of the Republican agenda, including Project 2025. His entire platform is based around his persona and being snappier and more energetic than his opponent, but that’s thrown out the window now. He’s terrified because what was before an easy election has suddenly and unexpectedly become an uphill battle, and he was thrown in completely unprepared with a shitty VP.

      I can’t say for sure that Harris will win. But I can say for sure that Trump’s mental state is absolutely devolving into despair and anger currently.
