[“]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.”

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.

      Imagine actually believing that. LMAO.

      That there’s a decent person with Trump blood in their veins? I know, it’s a hard swallow, but it does seem to be true.

      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.
