Trump appears to be "THIS CLOSE" to blowing a freaking GASKET over Harris / Walz.

I don't even want to paraphrase what he's putting out in his Twitter rip-off echo chamber. You've probably seen it. WAY past the Abe Simpson "old man yells at cloud" thing. Conspiracy theory stuff. The kind of thing that emerges from a brain that is, as Jim Morrison put it, "squirming like a toad."

He lost the command of the news cycle and people stopped talking about his teensy weensy ear scratch when Harris announced her candidacy, and now that Walz has been announced, there's no way Trump is going to be "front page news" for a while.

I wonder if he will "BLOW," say something SO crazy and vile and racist and sexist and disgusting that America...not the MAGAts, but most others...say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH."

It really is almost unbelievably unhinged. Yes, even by cheato's standards.

...it sounds like you and I are talking about the same tweet. i read it and thought "are you kidding me?" And that's after seeing mountains of crazy rants from Trump. He really is like a cornered rat right now, so we really ARE lucky that he's not actually in a position of power.

13. I read something earlier today about his inability to find a Harris "nickname"...

...so his current strategy is to misspell her name. Wow. Impressive.

He creates the illusion of having a very detailed and dastardly playbook, but it's just a few of the same, tiresome, old tricks, over and over and over again.

And...so far...his "offense" against Harris has fallen flat. He KNOWS it, he can't HANDLE it, he's lashing out in any direction he can think of and all that's coming out of it is him getting little more crazy every day.

the Choice so he could rake him through the Coals like so many others have.

Gov Walz is the Best Choice.. he's amazing.. Now the Gov Shapiro Basing can Stop. He's the Popular Gov of PA and he will be Campaigning Across the State for Harris Walz!

...he actually wrote that tweet himself.
It's barely coherent & filled with crazy.

15. Yeah, absolutely...the ghost-written stuff has a sort of semi-literate snark to it.

That one was just fear and rage and his attempt to go back to his happy place...the press coverage he got after the debate. So sad that life is what happens when we're making other plans. Also unfair, maybe even rigged.

...Trump is going to be in a REALLY bad place.

What I think I like most about the Harris candidacy so far is that she really seems to RELISH this, to be FIRED UP and INTO it.

Campaigning is NOT the strong suit of a LOT of politicians. Just ask Ron DeSantis.

Or JD Vance.
