    “He’s been watching that seven-second clip of how close he was to getting shot right in the head—over and over and over again,” said a Republican close to the campaign. “He may actually legit have PTSD.” A campaign official confirmed that it continues to affect Trump.

    >“He may actually legit have PTSD.”

    I don’t wish emotional trauma on anyone. With that said, it seems a bit of cosmic justice that he has a little taste of the hurt and misery he’s caused.

    I haven’t forgot about all those kids separated from their parents, some never to see their loved ones again…

    Edit: What haven’t y’all forgotten that caused a great amount of emotional and/or physical harm by this weird idiot that doesn’t even know which end of the Bible to taste from?

    Are they just now meeting Donald Trump? It’s funny to watch them squirm when they have been along on this ride since 2016 and have supported his fuckery the entire way. Morons.

    Don Old is too low energy. Many people are saying he’s in deeper than JD at a sofa sale. They come to him, tears in their eyes, and say “sir, you’re self destructing sir! Stop wasting all our money—it’s billions down the drain!” 

     Sad! 🤣

    I love how they say that like it’s a bad thing. For the racists and fascists sure, but a Trump loss is a win for reality and normality

    He’s not out on the campaign trail because he no longer trusts the secret service to protect him, and he’s traumatized by almost being head shot by the very weapon his party endorses, so he can’t even cry about it.

    He has no talking points on his new political opponent, and he’s not clever enough to come up with any himself. He shot himself in the foot with his weird couch fucking VP pick, who according to an ABC article is [more unpopular than Sara Palin](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jd-vance-is-more-unpopular-than-sarah-palin/ar-AA1oRZ8e)

    Trump knows he’s fucked, and has no idea how to unfuck himself.

    Is it that or are they finally seeing the Trump sh*t show most of us have seen for years. That he could lead his way out of a paper bag let alone govern a country

    He is counting on the Trump = Profit$ Media to destroy Harris for him. They are already pulling out all the stops to try and turn Walz into a liability.

    He is the Media’s preferred candidate just like in 2016, and just like in 2016, the Media will stop at nothing to undermine his opponents.

  9. He’s choosing to put less effort into winning the election legitimately because they’re already conspiring to have election deniers on election boards and in Secretaries of State offices refuse to certify votes, which will trigger the desired alternate vote. This moron is not complicated. Begin investigating, arresting and replacing the election deniers now.

    The man acts irrationally for his whole life and then when he starts losing big time, his allies expect him to suddenly act rationally?

    It’s called backing the wrong horse. Your goose is cooked MAGA world.

    Someone linked out to an article about something like “narcissistic collapse” where narcissists finally see the spotlight taken away and they’re so overcome with jealousy that they basically shut down. I think we’re in that stage. Combined a bit with fear (he’s an utter coward) from the little booboo he got from a piece of glass. Eventually these will pass and it’ll be too late so they’ll pivot 100% into election theft / fraud to try to steal the election with the help of the USSC.

  12. Hear me out. Or he’s actual showing everyone who he really is. Am incompetent old man who has spent his entitled life as the narcissist he’s always been. Incapable of leading a company never mind a country. Surrounding himself with terrible people and doesn’t know a policy decision from the truth. So maybe that’s why he’s having issues.

  13. NONSENSE! He is choosing to BE HIMSELF! The fact that he is truly despicible as a person is on full display for all to see. The fact that Harris and Walz are good people wanting to improve the lives of all American citizens just makes the difference blatantly obvious.

    He isn’t trying to lose. He is just a scared, tired, hareful man who is finally drowning in the consequences of his own actions.

    He can’t feed the rage and hate of his followers. He can’t present a strongman image. His own followers will start to turn on him. He is turned away everyone except his die hard followers. His handpicked VP is somehow more disliked than Trump.

    It is going to be such an epic blue wave. Everyone go vote. It’s time run up the score. So SCOTUS can’t give our country away. And don’t worry Trump has already said he will flee the country.

  15. I’ve been saying this for a while now. He doesn’t want to be president, he just wants to attention it gives him. He likes running because everyone is listening to him, but deep down he really hates being president. All work and no play and no money.

    >At a rally in Georgia days later, Trump spent 10 minutes ranting about Brian Kemp, the state’s popular Republican governor, for being insufficiently loyal during his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. “Little Brian, little Brian Kemp. Bad guy,” he taunted.

    Brian Kemp has a chance to do the funniest thing…

    *it’s making voting locations triple.*

  17. He never actually wanted to be president in the first place. He just loves the constant attention.

    Trump was a fluke that the GOP mistook for a messiah. Together they screwed women out of their reproductive autonomy and this election they will suffer for their myopic aggression. We’re not going back!

    What pisses me off is the last 8 years worth of US political drama could have been completely avoided if the Democrats had nominated anybody other than Hilary Clinton in 2016. This election cycle is proving that Donald Trump is not a serious politician who only happened to fail his way into the Presidency.

    Downvote me all you want, but y’all know it’s true.
