Donald Trump has been throwing a prolonged tantrum, as he struggles to accept that he is no longer running against President Joe Biden.

The former president and convicted felon has become increasingly distressed at the state of his campaign, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday.

As Vice President Kamala Harris has relaunched the Democratic Party’s campaign, Trump saw his fundraising edge dissipate under the shadow of her $310 million influx in July. At the same time, his campaign has struggled to find its footing in the new matchup, leaving some close to the campaign wondering how it was possible they were so ill prepared, according to the *Post. *

After flying so high at the Republican National Convention in July, it seems that Trump has had a hard time adjusting to the fact that his fight is not over.

“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend, according to the Post.

He knows the only way he’s staying out of prison is to get elected.

He’s wrong about that. The Justice* system has revealed itself to be so corrupt that he’s risen above the law.

I’m totally fine if he fucks off to North Korea for the rest of his life. Better yet, takes all his supporters with him. That way he can play pretend dictator with his romantic partner Kim for eternity and beyond

Is there a single McDonalds in NK? Going cold turkey on daily cheeseburgers might just kill him.

The Supreme Court might very well see to him never seeing prison.
