  1. Just be honest with him. He’s allergic to truth and he sucks. Ridicule is honest feedback.

  2. Nah, that isn’t it. People have been making fun of him for decades. The emperor knows he’s naked. It’s convincing his base that there’s something wrong. And apparently it has to be done very subtly with a simple term like “weird”.

    It’s amazing that a rapist, fraud, traitor and felon is essentially untouchable.

    But being mocked for just being weird as fuck, has pierced the armor.

    Its so wierd that argueing he is a fascist (as he is) doesnt do anything but calling him wierd does.

  5. “When asked for comment, Trump shouted ‘I’M NOT WEIRD!’, and then he shit his pants again.”

    It works because he’s a cult of personality and such a very, very fragile one. His policies are a joke in the rare event he actually has any that he doesn’t u-turn on from one rally to the next. He’s absolutely nothing but bluster and the reason mocking him works is because every single insult you could throw at a human being is true for him in some way or the other.

    Let’s see Orange Chicken with a side of sour grapes or bitter greens on every menu!

  8. And it only took them slightly less than a decade to figure out that a thin-skinned clown is a thin-skinned clown.

    Trump is incapable of letting any perceived insult slide. He ALWAYS has to answer back. He is truly convinced that he is a basically flawless human being but he is just basic. Perhaps flawlessly basic.

    You don’t even have to make shit up to bully him just tell him the truth of his weirdness and his head spirals

  11. let’s get these weak strong men out of politics .. Incel power pretty powerful… sense of delusion especially when they have money like the Muskrat

    I knew that in 2016, but Democrats refused to leave the “High Road” and capitalize on it.

    When Clinton called him a puppet during the debate, he went insane. We saw the real Trump for a moment, but Hillary Never poked him again and neither did Democrats. We could be living in a much better world if they had not been so cowardly.

  13. Always mock and ridicule authoritarians. This isn’t rocket science, it’s about time people woke up about it.

  14. Some of us have known that from the beginning, but Establishment Democrats wrung their hands whimpering about the high road and refused to do it.

  15. I noticed he recently stopped wearing his cheeto face, but now he looks a lot like Leatherface.

    He looks like unfolded dough left out on the counter for a week, starting to bubble, ferment, and change colors.

    Not really, do people have the memory of a goldfish or something? Hillary and Obama ridiculed him to no end, Hillary was even ahead in the polls. But the popular vote doesn’t win elections in the US.

    It could be because his supporters are much more disillusioned with the same tired old tropes and that Kamala is more popular than Hillary, but people could also be blindsiding themselves if they decide she’s just such a sure win they won’t vote as protest because of her because of the silence regarding the Palestinian slaughter.

    Trump does seem to be losing ground, but it could very well be something only seen from our bubble, because the Fox News bubble has a completely different take on reality and at the end of the day his potential voters watch Fox News. Just go visit their website.

    Polls show Clinton over Trump by double digits: [https://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-polls/index.html](https://edition.cnn.com/2016/10/23/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-presidential-polls/index.html)

    I’ve been saying this for many years- but everyone told me that wouldn’t work. I said the place of strength for conservatives is confidence and if we collectively point and laugh it’d fall apart. But nah so whatever

  19. Finally? Just look at every single god damn dictator in the history. From putin to hitler to stalin to kim jong – trump is no different.

  20. This was already known. Obama roasted him at the correspondents dinner that in turn led Trump to go on a series of race fueled ignorant attacks. We just didn’t know it would sweep the Tea Party folks off their feet.

    I think people also forget… He barely won against Clinton who had to deal with being the boogeyman of the 90’s, while facing foreign state sponsored misinformation campaigns, bitter Bernie bros, and an FBI chief who dropped a misguided news release just a couple weeks prior to voting day.

    Even then, everyone, including Trump, was surprised he won and I suspect if you held a second vote the next day, a bunch of people who stayed home or tossed their vote in protest would have voted Clinton if they thought Trump had even the slightest chance of winning. People know now.

    The real magic is they found something where:

    1. Trump hadn’t fouled the well by making a false accusation first
    1. Is true and soft enough to be acceptable for Democrats to throw at him

    Seriously, “weird” is about as nerfed as you can get as an accusation, but it’s landing like kryponite because it’s new and true.

    This has been known for a while now…

    The older Democrats play by the old rules, which Republicans stopped playing for decades now. Younger Democrats are taking over and have read the new rules…
