Donald Trump spent Monday morning labeling the turmoil in the global financial markets the “Kamala Crash,” giving Republicans hope that he might turn his focus to an economic message.
It didn’t last. By midday, the former president was already back to re-litigating his controversial appearance in Chicago last week, where he questioned Kamala Harris’ Black identity and suggested a major network journalist should be fired — “I didn’t know who she was, she was nasty,” he told a livestreamer.
Republicans on Monday reeled from Trump’s undisciplined approach to the opening stages of his new general election matchup with Harris — following a weekend that saw him praise Russian leader Vladimir Putin while smearing Harris as “low IQ,” and “dumb” and attacking a popular swing-state GOP governor whose turnout operation he may need in November.
“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” said Matthew Bartlett, a GOP strategist and former Trump administration appointee. “This is a guy who cut through the Republican primary like a knife through butter. This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race. And now this is a guy who cannot come to grips with a competitive presidential race that would require discipline and effective messaging. And we’re seeing a candidate and a campaign absolutely melt down.”
This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race.
Yeah… no he didn’t. They just knew they couldn’t get enough Democrats energized to vote. And that was totally due to Biden and nothing to do with what Trump did.
I truly believe for anyone watching the debate that golf conversation was the end of both of their political careers.
The golf debate was the wtf are we even doing moment for me. It turned out to be a very powerful moment that allowed a new democratic candidate to rise above two old men blathering about their golf game.
I admit I didn’t watch it and I only scanned the coverage because I really didn’t think it was going to change people’s minds enough for Biden to drop out, although I clearly was wrong.
So what was the golf conversation?
Oh yeah well im bigly better at gulf than you
What? What? Fat chance, jack
etc.
Obviously Trump thinks it’s all about Trump. But Matthew Bartlett isn’t Donald Trump.
Lol. Eat shit and die, traitor filth. Harris 2024.
You left out the lying coward, rapist, racist, bigot, convicted felon, pedophile, old, illiterate, senile parts - but I sense you’re not a fan?
“This is a guy who cut through the Republican primary like a knife through butter. This is a guy who pummeled a semi-conscious president in a debate and literally out of a race.
Please. R wants him as their dictator, that’s why he swept the primary, and Biden pummeled himself out of the race, Trump just had to make it through a couple hours without becoming completely unhinged, and he lied on average once per speaking minute during that time.
Actually you are right, I misremembered! :)
By the most up-to-date count, Trump lied 50 times during the debate. That’s 16 more lies than his felony convictions. That’s 48 more lies than his impeachments, and popular vote losses. If the 90 minute debate was actually divided equally into 45 minutes of speaking time for each candidate, Trump lied more than once per minute.

“Among battleground voters, we win if we have the discipline to contrast on policy and we lose if voters decide on likability. Really, really simple,” he added.
what “policy”? take from the poor and give to the rich? whatever GOP. keep thinking you’re getting non-1% votes because of anything OTHER than hating people who are different
No… their policy is blame immigrants and convince their constituents that the whip that hits them and the boot that stomps them hurts immigrants and people of colour more than them. Meanwhile they pass bills that deregulate the capitalist class and punishes the workers.
Edit: I am actually just elaborating your description which is more succinct
I hear or read the things he’s said, and it absolutely blows my mind that anyone can’t understand how absolutely stupid/demented he is.
The guy is a moron.
His supporters view him as smart. Because compared to them, he is. That should terrify everyone
I can handle about 10 seconds of him speaking and I start to feel my brains leaking out of my ears.
How the fuck anyone can listen to him is beyond me.
You remember that episode of the Boondocks where Huey watches junk TV and becomes so exhausted and apathetic that he can no longer think for himself by the end of the episode? That’s why I refuse to even attempt to listen to Trump. Honestly I think that’s how people get suckered in by Trump; he wears down the mind so much that it becomes too much trouble to think.
