The loser is panicking. No plan, no vision, just the same old guy insulting people.
fallaffel
So he's scared to debate someone he believes is "mentally impaired". Makes sense...
Honestly, who cares what this guy says anymore? It shouldn't be world news. Hopefully it won't be in another few weeks.
bass4funk
He does, he did, he laid them all out about the economy, the border, and about lowering inflation, he's given 55 interviews and Harris..
37 days, Election
3.75 yrs, Harris 1st trip to border
3.75 yrs, had never talked to border management
0-Primary Votes (direct)
0-Nominee Opposition
0-Policies to lower prices
0-Press conferences
1-ABC Debate, Muir+Davis+Harris vs Trump
4-Scripted soft TV Interviews
1- Oprah show
So 5 interviews
So of course he will hammer this woman, who wouldn't and he would be a fool not to.
dagon
After his terrible debate babble Trump's projection psychosis is in full effect .
Witness the 'stable genius '.
Trump is a case study in the effects to extreme privilege to produce absolute morons.
wallace
Trump is the MAGA loon unfit for office.
bass4funk
Thank Muir and Davis for that, although I have to admit, he did well for taking on 3 morons.
Then that would make Harris a prime exhibit case. Harris is beyond unfit for office, she is unfit to sell oranges.
Underworld
bass4funk
So why couldn’t he hammer her during the debate? Oh, because she is smarter than him and she could effectively trigger him.
funkymofo
‘Dumb as a rock’ Kamala expertly exposed him in the last debate- embarrassing. It’s pathetic, he’s so easily triggered, obviously unfit to lead, Expect more ad hominem attacks from him (if he can string a sentence together, that is).
Some dude
His attacks get more and more absurd as the election gets closer and closer. His pollsters and/or advisors must be telling him things he doesn't like.
Any odds that he openly uses the N-word in a speech before election day?
The Ripper!
Trump is right again.
stormcrow
Trump's a convicted felon! He's going to question her mental fitness.
John
Pot, meet kettle. Kettle, this is pot.
His niece was right. When she walked into his space and initiated a hand shake, she made him a total beta and inflicted a narcissistic injury he will never recover from.
bass4funk
??? Rhetorical question?
Peter Neil
same old attack rhetoric.
your vote is your voice. nothing said here changes minds.
the best slogan i can come up with for this and future elections might be: “shut up and just vote.”
bass4funk
Like the Russia, Russia collusion delusion
Veeeery true
Yes, eeexsctly!!
John
Every projection is a confession by the insurrectionist in Chief.
Some dude
The entire MAGA movement has created its own alternative universe, where they clearly feel more comfortable. There's a consensus that Harris basically tore Trump a new one in the debate; he now just spends his time throwing insults at her non-stop, won't debate her again, and yet the MAGA people are absolutely insistent that he's the smart one and that she would destroy the USA with her socialist-Marist-communist-Maoist-(add "ist" of your choice) policies.
The psychology textbooks of the future are going to have to set aside an entire, very long, chapter just for the 2024 election and the time leading up to it.
Bob Fosse
He looks ill. If he hasn’t had a stroke yet there is one coming.
Cards fan
The only delusion is by Trump syocphants who repeatedly deny the fact that members of Trump's campaign were indeed in contact with member's of Russian Intelligence.
Cards fan
lol This hardcore projection. Does anyone look at Trump and see a hard working man? Does anyone listen to him and think, "this is what a smart man sounds like"?
plasticmonkey
Uh-huh. Right.
*Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down—you know, I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that—because look, childcare is childcare, it’s—couldn’t, you know, it’s something, you have to have it, in this country you have to have it.*
--Donald Trump, when asked about his plans for childcare
Talk about something missing . . .
owzer
He’s right.
konjo4u
He is getting beat by a girl.
Blacklabel
Keep it simple: she is just dumb and unqualified and can’t speak clearly.
John
The doddering old man has nothing.
He’s out of money. Out of gas. His act is old and boring. So now he’s down to projection and racism.
How very MAGA…
Ah_so
It's funny watching Trump lose his mind as the election slips away from him.
But I know that when her kisses it ain't be the end of the show - we have all the other criminal trials to come.
Cards fan
As a former prosecutor, US senator and current VP, she's far, far smarter than Trump.
Were it not for being born into wealth, Trump would just be another bum hawking fake rolexes in Battery Park.
Again, compared to whom? lol She's far, far more articulate than Trump. He still doesn't understand how tariffs work, poor guy.
Desert Tortoise
I'm willing to bet Jupiter couldn't cook his own dinner, make a bed or do something as routine as empty the vacuum cleaner. Bet he never cleaned house in his life. He has always had people doing this for him. Can anyone imagine Jupiter playing fetch with a dog or grilling steaks? Or cleaning the grill and the dishes afterwards? How about Jupiter changing the oil on his car? I bet he doesn't even know how to check the oil. I'd love to see him try to recover a car from a skid.
All the things most working Americans know and do daily he has absolutely no experience with. He knows nothing of our lives. He doesn't even take care of his own kids but sends them off to boarding school. None of the difficulties of child care for him. Four days after Baron was born he was shacking with a porn star instead of being there for his wife and infant son. What people see in him is beyond me. Why the two Bs fawn over him is disgusting.
Blacklabel
Without mentioning Trump, please explain/give examples of Kamala being smart, qualified and speaking clearly or even honestly.
maybe list some personal achievements as well.
I’m sure you would agree being “smarter than Trump” means nothing, right?
Blacklabel
The left: Trump is the stupidest, most dishonest, most evil person ever, literally Hitler.
the left also: we love Kamala! She is smarter than Trump, more honest than Trump and less evil than Trump.
is than an impressive thing? Maybe compare her to an actual measurable standard?
Cards fan
I already did. She's a licensed attorney in the state of California. She's the former Attorney General of California. Dumb people don't licensed to practice law in California. They also don't become the Attorney General either.
lmao no. I don't. What an absurd, clueless thing to say. There are only two candidates for the presidency with actual shots at becoming president. One of them is Donald J Trump, the other is Kamala Harris. Of course being smarter than the other viable candidate means something. Not even you can dispute she's far, far smarter than poor Donald. Someone needs to teach him who pays for tariffs, he still hasn't grasped the concept yet. Poor fella.
The Ripper!
I look at the 4 years of the Trump administration, and then I look at ever-rising gas and consumer goods prices prices now, high mortgage interest rates, and watch Russia dancing into Ukraine, and Iran-backed Hamas murdering Israeli civilians and I say,
"Trump must have been pretty smart to not let any of that happen under his watch."
plasticmonkey
What makes Trump such a superhero that MAGA cultists will bend over backwards (or forwards) to defend every single idiotic word that comes out of his pie hole?
TokyoLiving
Again, Trump being so Trump..
lincolnman
So Trump thinks the "mentally impaired" should be prosecuted...
Well, that's one way to guarantee zero attendees at his rallies...
Also one way to get rid of Eric as he's been trying for years...
Cards fan
Yes. Trump was pretty smart to mishandle Covid which led crashing the economy and gas prices. It was also pretty smart of him to keep sucking up to fascist losers. You make a great point. Weird how the poor fella still doesn't know who pays for tariffs.
Norm
It was reported. The articles and information was and is there for all to see on a daily basis.
According to Fox News, as of August, 2023 it was over one hundred people charged with weapons violations:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/charged-jan-6-riot-prison-time-doj.amp
So doing the high-level math involved (take your time), it was at least 100 weapons inside the Capitol Building being carried by goons running amok.
And that doesn’t include the Oath Keepers’ massive stash. Or the other stashes in vehicles parked nearby.
bass4funk
Mueller couldn’t prove it, but you can? How?
WoodyLee
"" DESPARADO, why don't come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one""
So tell me Mr. Trump, how could you prosecute the prosecutor and especially a Woman Prosecutor Sir !?
Tough, but it can be done I guess !!
Blacklabel
dumb people don’t become President of the United States either, right?
ouch. That hurts.
The Ripper!
Too funny!
Blaming Covid for gas prices---in 2024!!!!
lol
Cards fan
Only if they dupe a lot of gullible idiots into voting for him.
ouch. That hurts.
Trump cultists have nothing. They can't even deny he's a stupid man who doesn't even understand tariffs.
Norm
Geez… Well now that the riot and weapons issues are settled, let’s go to the next deflection. This is like playing whack-a-mole. Have a look:
https://www.npr.org/2018/12/09/643444815/all-the-criminal-charges-to-emerge-so-far-from-robert-muellers-investigation
And this was before Bill Barr shut down the investigation and before Trump pardoned his pardners in crime.
owzer
In the 2016 election, Trump joked about prosecuting Hillary. But he did nothing to her when he was in office.
Yet who has been prosecuting Trump? Harris / Democrats.
Tell me again who is using the machine for their own ends?
Trump wouldn’t prosecute Harris. He’ll continue to call her stupid but that’s it.
lincolnman
What? It would take up this whole thread...
Trump must have thought she was very "smart, qualified, and honest" since he contributed NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE to her campaigns....
*Former President Donald Trump donated not once but twice to re-elect Kamala Harris as the attorney general of California. California records show that Trump contributed $5,000 in September 2011 toward Harris' 2014 reelection campaign, and followed up with another $1,000 in February 2013. His daughter Ivanka Trump also donated to the campaign, contributing $2,000 in 2014.*
https://www.npr.org/2024/07/22/g-s1-12696/kamala-harris-donation-trump-election
Or were these contributions examples of Trump's stupidity, incompetence, and dishonesty?
NOMINATION
If you think Trump is mean, did you read what you wrote? That is some major anger.
Cards fan
Sometimes the truth hurts. The average Trump supporter knows even less about the economy and world around them than he does. Cry about it.
lincolnman
The 'Stable Genius" again courting average working Americans...
"Speaking at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump, who has used a proposal to end taxes on tips as a key talking point to bolster his pro-worker bona fides on the campaign trail, confessed that he would be better off if he didn’t make his thoughts on overtime publicly known.
“I shouldn’t say this,” he said, but continued on anyway.
“I know a lot about overtime. I hated to give overtime, I hated it. I’d get other–I shouldn’t say this–but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay,”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-scab-harris-campaign-fumes-000159914.html
Well Done Donald! You just lost all those hard working folks out there that work overtime to both help their employers and make more money for their families.
It does explain one thing - I guess that $2 million Rudy says you are stiffing him out of must have been for overtime...
The Moron is self-imploding in real time...
owzer
It’s amazing that someone could get so much so backward!
Trump got the vaccine into production, which, depending on your point of you either provided life-saving support, was a poison, or neither.
Biden and Harris put us in lockdowns which destroyed the economy. They also attempted vaccine mandates that were nothing short of draconian. Fortunately, they were stopped by lawsuits.
The only mishandling that happened was Biden and Harris.
Jimizo
You wonder how someone like that could beat a rival in a debate.
Can you imagine the quality of the rival?
John
Especially when it’s a self-own because the narcissistic sociopath this one supports is a complete moron.
Blacklabel
No, your guy claimed an elected office title as proof someone is not dumb.
changed his story when I brought up the highest elected office in the world.
so there are no dumb lawyers or prosecutors? She did fail the bar at least once.
Cards fan
Not just an elected title. Also they fact they're licensed attorney in one of the most difficult states to get licensed in.
I didn't change my story.
Generally no. And a "dumb" lawyer is smarter than the average person. Certainly smaratter than a convicted felon.
Lot's of people do. Most in fact. Pass rate is 34%.
Peter Neil
bill barr, attorney general under trump: "he is a consummate narcissist, and he constantly engages in reckless conduct. he will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country's interest. there's no question about it."
john bolton, national security advisor under trump: "the essence of donald trump - the only thing her cares about is donald trump."
Cassidy Hutchenson, white house aid under donald trump: "he is a weak and feeble man who has no sense of character and integrity and has no sense of leadership."
Mick Mulvaney, chief of staff for doanld trump" "he was my boss. i was working in the state department at the time, and the only objection i could make was to quit. he failed at being the president when we needed him to be that."
mark esper, secretary of defense under donald trump: "given the events of january 6th, given as he has undermined the election results, he incited people to come to d.c., stirred them up that morning, and failed to call them off."
John
She’s so mentally impaired that he’s too scared to debate her again. Lol.
Blacklabel
then why did you say being elected Attorney General is one of the proof she isn’t dumb? if you now say it’s not proof and neither is the highest elected office in the world?
justasking
Try to defend this guy and you’ll just look, well, deranged.
The Ripper!
"the essence of donald trump - the only thing her cares about is donald trump."
I want that when the end result is no Russia invading Ukraine, no Hezbollah murdering babies, children and families, lower gas and consumer goods prices, fewer illegal and dangerous immigrants crossing our borders...
Make America Great Again!!
Cards fan
Reread what I wrote again.
Not just an elected title. She also passed the bar exam in CA, one of the toughest bar exams in the country.
I'd say that's a pretty good indication she's not an idiot.
We could also look at how she walked Trump like a dog at the debate. He fell for everything. She's iether really smart, or he's very stupid.
lincolnman
Future case study on how to lose an election by insulting the voters you're courting...
As a privileged white guy who said the first Black President wasn't legitimate, tell Black Americans you think your opponent who has a Black father and went to a historically Black College "ain't Black"...
Tell union members you think its smart to "fire them all when they strike"....
Tell Jewish Americans they're "dumb" and "are to blame" if they vote for your opponent...
Now insult hard-working Americans by saying you'd fire all of them instead of paying overtime...
And the best for last - tell women you'll "protect them" when you boast about grabbing their genitals and owe $83 million to a woman a court concluded you sexually assaulted...
Just title it "A Case Study in the Art of Losing"...
Bob Fosse
Because he couldn’t, not because he didn’t want to.

Dumb people don't licensed to practice law in California. They also don't become the Attorney General either.

Well, let me see:
a deranged, traitorous, insulting, instigating, dividing, cheating, bone-spurs draft dodging, egomaniac con man praising his own smartness - that's what real smart people do, right - or maybe NOT?
The one, who was not on the dean's top list.
The one, who got his school records sealed (by paying for it).
The one, who has a degree from Pen - most definitely paid for by his father.
The one, who graduated from Wharton without honors.
And so on! He should keep his mouth shut trying to attack a former district attorney and now VP!
wtfjapan
Rhetorical question?
no she actually triggered him, "remember theyre eating the dogs statement" straight after she questioned his boring rallies LOL
Blacklabel
Maybe I should? Donald Trump is one of the most successful men of our lifetimes. Haters gonna hate.
Blacklabel
so being Vice President would also not be proof that Kamala isn’t dumb. Elected AG isn’t, appointed VP isn’t, passing the bar exam but not the first time isn’t.
so none left- what’s the proof she is t dumb?
Peter Neil
BlacklabelToday 10:47 am JST
one of the funniest things i’ve read on jt.
lincolnman
So once again, explain why your guy contributed not once, but twice to her campaign when she was running for AG?
As you continually remind us, Trump never makes mistakes and is a "genius"....so he must have thought she was qualified and competent to send her money to help get elected - once in 2011 - then once more in 2013...
The 2013 contribution shows he must have thought she was doing a superb job - as he sent money again...he even told Ivanka to contribute...
https://www.npr.org/2024/07/22/g-s1-12696/kamala-harris-donation-trump-election
Explain that...
Norm
I don’t hate Trump. I feel sorry for his miserable life and multiple failures at marriage, and his other personal problems like anger management issues.
But as far as business acumen:
• six bankruptcies
• a charity shut down for fraud
• a so-called “university” shut down for fraud
And other things. Just pitiable. Some would say sad.
Cards fan
lmao How does someone not passing the bar the first time make someone dumb? Rightists are so desperate.
What's the proof she is? You claimed it, now prove it.
We all know she's far, far smarter than Trump.
She walked him like a dog. He took the bait everytime she threw it.
owzer
No rebuttals. Just downvotes. Haters gonna hate.
ok1517
Oh Blacklabel,
I assume you own a computer and that you understand facts.
If not, here's some hints:
"The six bankruptcies were the result of over-leveraged hotel and casino businesses in Atlantic City and New York: Trump Taj Mahal (1991), Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino (1992), Plaza Hotel (1992), Trump Castle Hotel and Casino (1992) ), Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts (2004), and Trump Entertainment Resorts (2009)."
Add to this his airline which he gave up since he couldn't even pay the monthly interest!
And there's more. Can't call that "he most successful men of our lifetimes", can you?
Ken
Trumpism- denying real life events and losing the ability to tell the difference between reality and fantasy. It is so strong of a mental illness that it can bypass lie detectors with the belief of false statements
funkymofo
Didn’t watch the last debate huh? She made your guy look like a fool.
plasticmonkey
Too bad Trump can’t pull spokesperson “John Barron” out of the closet to call up the media and testify what a genius and success his boss is.
And MAGA world is questioning Harris’ part-time job at McDonald’s?
Strangerland
With his cognitive decline that’s not definitive proof.
But she is a lawyer. You don’t become one without being intelligent. There’s your proof.
Strangerland
The more he ramps up the rhetoric, the better. Less and less people will vote for him as long as he keeps showing his true craziness.
John
6 bankruptcies
2 (soon to be 3) failed marriages.
Lost the popular vote twice, soon to be thrice.
Cratered an economy that was at full employment.
Impeached twice.
Found liable for sexual assault (AKA “rape”).
Found liable for fraud to the tune of 480 million.
Convicted on 34 felony counts.
3 outstanding indictments.
About to lose again.
Yeah, a smashing “success”…
Strangerland
Not really. He’s just been the beneficiary of the affirmative action of extreme wealth.
Any normal person who goes bankrupt once basically is over.
Plenty of in depth reporting showing him to actually be a poor business man. They hide that in the far right MSM though because the smowflakes can’t handle that truth.

People choose a candidate based on different criteria. One way to choose is if a candidate is bought for and paid by the Oligarchy. The US is democratic among the capitalists. It is indeed a plutocracy and the election is a competition among the candidates put forth by Garchs but very little to do with the bourgeoisie.
Trump is different in that he will make his own decision instead of doing what he's required and obligated to do such as previous Presidents and Nikki Haley, Victoria Nuland, Kamala Harris and so on.
plasticmonkey
In May 1984, "John Barron" lied to then-Forbes reporter Jonathan Greenberg about Trump's wealth and assets to get Trump on the Forbes 400 list. "Barron" stated to Greenberg that "most of the assets [of Donald's father Fred Trump] have been consolidated to Mr. [Donald] Trump."

I don’t know about you, but if “John Barron” ever ran for President, I wouldn’t vote for him!

ever notice how the maga crowd are always whining about everything? there’s nothing they don’t whine about and can’t accept when they lose an election. it’s them, it’s him, it’s her…
the economy is in shambles, the country is falling apart, migrants are taking the black jobs and eating the pets of america, billions of illegals are voting, it’s the end of the world…

How does one bankrupt a casino?
People come and stay at your hotel and play games that are rigged against them.
And they drink which further impedes their judgement.
it’s like losing money on a Dairy Queen in Texas: possible in principle but you never see it in real life.
There’s only 2 ways to bankrupt a casino: over saturation of the market and loading up on high interest debt.
Donald very stable genius did both.
Ken
The only one who had hater energy was Trump. He and his mob scared off all other Repubs running for election. Wasn't smart enough to have a backup plan for if he is the one viewed as the old geezer running for election, which is his current title now by the way

Aside from Trump's obvious cognitive issues, his supporters who find this type of talk from a presidential candidate as acceptable is more reflective of who they are as people.

Donald Trump is the most successful CON man in our lifetime. He certainly has you fooled completely.
Other than that there's nothing successful about him.
