Trump Loses It on Truth Social During Kamala Harris Acceptance Speech

Donald Trump launched Truth Social successful 2022 to person a megaphone that lets him talk straight with his cult of deluded followers aft getting kicked disconnected each the large platforms for his attempted coup against the U.S. government. And Trump’s societal media level is looking much and much bizarre by the time arsenic helium comes wholly unhinged with the realization that Kamala Harris could triumph the predetermination this November.

Harris formally accepted her party’s information for president astatine the Democratic National Convention successful Chicago connected Thursday, starring Trump to live-tweet during her speech. It’s a fascinating peek into conscionable however weird things are getting for Trump, who’s intelligibly frustrated that Harris has energized a wide swath of the American nationalist successful an predetermination wherever vigor volition thrust the turnout needed to win.

“There volition beryllium nary aboriginal nether Comrade Kamala Harris, due to the fact that she volition instrumentality america into a Nuclear World War III! She volition ne'er beryllium respected by the Tyrants of the World!” Trump exclaimed in a station that was emblematic of the evening.

There’s evidently a batch going connected successful that post, from the absurdity of saying Harris volition origin World War III to suggesting a mainstream Democrat is simply a Communist. But that past enactment whitethorn beryllium the astir unintentionally hilarious. Trump seems to judge that U.S. presidents request to beryllium “respected by the tyrants of the world,” thing that’s not truly a qualification for the job. In fact, if a tyrant respects you, you’re astir apt doing immoderate tyrannical shit, which makes consciousness fixed the 45th president’s emotion affairs with dictators similar North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

Trump dozens of posts Thursday night, each 1 much confusing than the past it seems. For example, Trump appears to deliberation Hezbollah was someway progressive successful the panic attacks that killed astir 1,200 radical successful Israel connected October 7, 2023.

“She caused the Attack of October 7th. Iran was BROKE – Didn’t person wealth for Hezbollah!” Trump wrote, seemingly precise confused astir everything.

There were besides plentifulness of all-caps missives, including lies utilized to region himself from the Heritage Foundation’s infamous Project 2025 to make a far-right authorities bureaucracy that would portion Americans of their rights.

“LYING AGAIN ABOUT PROJECT 2025, WHICH SHE KNOWS, AND SO DO ALL DEMOCRATS, THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH!” Trump wrote.

Trump besides seems obsessed with Joe Biden’s lad Hunter, who has been successful ineligible occupation implicit taxation and weapon issues and has go a lightning rod of contention for radical who ticker Fox News successful caller years.

“WHERE’S HUNTER?” Trump wrote, seeming to hide that he’s nary longer moving against Biden oregon his son. Trump is moving against Harris now, a information helium intelligibly hates.

The absorbing happening to retrieve astir Trump’s posts connected societal media is that helium truly does recognize the satellite arsenic revolving astir himself completely. As a narcissist, Trump has lone ever thought astir himself and however the remainder of humanity tin service him. And that shows up successful however he’ll constitute non-sequiturs connected Truth Social portion conscionable taking it for granted that everyone is watching the nonstop aforesaid happening that helium is connected television. It’d beryllium comic if it wasn’t a precise existent anticipation that helium could again go the astir almighty idiosyncratic successful the world.

And it wasn’t conscionable societal media wherever Trump shared his torrent of hatred and bile connected Thursday night. Trump called into Fox News, wherever helium had a painfully awkward speech with hosts Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier. Trump rambled astir immigrants and got antiaircraft astir the surge Harris is experiencing. Eventually, MacCallum and Baier tried to get him disconnected the enactment but struggled.

This mightiness beryllium the funniest happening I've ever seen.

Trump past called into Newsmax, wherever helium continued the unusual and undignified whining astir migration and the jobs report. Trump adjacent claimed that the latest revisions to the government’s jobs report—something that happens each month—was the effect of immoderate nefarious process alternatively than a mean portion of the strategy to marque definite the jobs numbers are arsenic close arsenic possible.

By Friday morning, Trump was backmost to his much regularly scheduled programming connected societal media, which is to accidental helium was conscionable lying a lot. The champion 1 of the time truthful far? Trump, the antheral liable for appointing the Supreme Court justices who overturned 50 years of termination entree for millions of women by abolishing the precedent of Roe v. Wade, says that he’s a champion of reproductive health.

“My Administration volition beryllium large for women and their reproductive rights,” Trump wrote.

Sure, Don. You’re a existent large guy.

Harris is doing a small amended successful the polls each day, but it’s nary warrant that she’s going to win. The vice president’s borderline connected Trump accrued to 3.6 points successful FiveThirtyEight’s national polling average connected Friday, the highest it’s been since Harris entered the contention a period ago. But evidently the U.S. doesn’t determine elections based connected who gets the astir votes nationally. We’ve got an Electoral College strategy wherever she has to triumph a clump of precise circumstantial states to propulsion it off.

Thankfully, Harris is besides pulling up successful the battleground polls. She’s up 3.9 points in Wisconsin, 3.4 points in Michigan, and 1.8 points in Pennsylvania, according to FiveThirtyEight’s astir caller polling averages. If she tin triumph those 3 states, it’s fundamentally successful the container for her.

Nobody knows for definite who’s going to triumph successful November. But Harris’ chances are looking precise bully and Trump knows it. The erstwhile president is astir apt going to support getting weirder arsenic helium comes to recognize there’s conscionable nary mode helium tin bushed her. And Truth Social is going to beryllium the spot to ticker the fireworks. We conscionable request to transverse our fingers that helium doesn’t effort different coup. Historically speaking, guys similar Trump who effort to overthrow the authorities don’t conscionable neglect 1 clip and springiness up. They effort again and again until they succeed, they’re thrown successful prison, oregon worse.

With Trump much than apt acceptable up to lose, a reboot of January 6 whitethorn beryllium his lone changeable astatine retaking power. Let’s anticipation it doesn’t travel to that.
