The Democratic National Convention in Chicago is on the edge of convening, and Donald Trump’s mental breakdown is lighting up the sky.
Trump is offended by Kamala Harris’ cover on Time magazine, and denounced it by claiming he is better looking than her in his X interview with Elon Musk. Then, he brought it up again at a rally in North Carolina:
Now they are putting her on the covers of Time magazine with an artist’s sketch. They don’t use a picture. They don’t use a picture, they use an artist sketch. I want to use that artist. I want to find that artist, I like him very much.
What is most amazing about the rant is that the context for it was a speech for the American presidency, which commands the world’s most powerful nuclear arsenal. Incredible doesn’t begin to describe it.
The polling remains terrible for Trump, and the internal numbers are still crumbling. He maintains an edge on handling the economy and immigration, but everything else has melted down. Harris is viewed as smarter, more stable, prepared and competent than Trump, who appears lost, befuddled and confused.
The great challenge for Harris is to close the gaps on immigration and the economy this week. Donald Trump is running out of room to maneuver. His attacks aren’t just not working, but are in fact so stupid and idiotic that they are increasing the spin of his campaign, and tightening the descending spiral.
The plain truth is that Kamala Harris hasn’t had a Trump glove connect with her during her first month in the race. Her performance has been masterful, and she enters the convention week in as strong a position as she could conceivably have been in. Now, it is time to begin the hard work of finishing off the fascist MAGA movement. The hour has arrived at long last.
Trump deserves every bit of the mockery, humiliation, laughter and derision coming his way. He is entitled to no consideration or respect. Trump is a punching bag, and should be viewed as one this week. Trumpism should be torn to shreds from the podium. The lies, division, insanity and corruption must be called out, described and exposed.
The hour of MAGA’s Waterloo has arrived. The beginning of the end is finally here.
Seventy-nine days to go.
This past week’s commentaries
If you’re looking to catch up on this past week’s The Warning commentaries, here are just a few:
It is hard to believe that Trump holds any kind of lead regarding the economy. Are we as a people so forgetful that we cannot remember the history of the past forty years? Every single time a republican holds the executive branch the economy goes to hell in a hand basket and the democrats have to come in and pick up the pieces. Look at the economy under Clinton, Obama, and Biden…in each case they inherited a bogus economy and it recovered under their administration….Trump has economic acumen…he bankrupted a casino, his father gave him over 600 million dollars and he squandered it! Wake up America!
It's funny ... we are taught to be polite and respectful. To think that we are in the midst of such derision of a former president would have been unthinkable just eight years ago. There are several presidents that I disagreed with and did not like. However, I never would have been as disrespectful as I have been with Rump. I call him The Orange Turd or Cheeto. What is funny, though, is that he has encouraged this. He has set an example of being completely despicable and gross. The way he has taunted opponents, the disrespect he's given former presidents and our servicemen, the bragging about only he can make things better, and the list goes on and on and on. I will continue to disrespect his a$$ until he has crawled back into his gold encrusted hole or he is sitting in prison. I have never hated anyone as much as I have hated him. This is a pretty strong statement for me as I've always tried to be kind to people. I just can't with him. Go Kamala and Tim ... I think there are only 79 days to go.
