Donald Trump is clearly flailing. He has reportedly taken to complaining about his campaign, which candidates tend to do when they are looking for someone to blame. He is, in the words of The Washington Post, “steaming” at what has happened to him. This is what he posted on Truth Social a week ago Tuesday:
“What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST President in the history of the U.S., whose Presidency was Unconstitutionally STOLEN from him by Kamabla, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Shifty Adam Schiff, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and others on the Lunatic Left, CRASHES the Democrat National Convention and tries to take back the Nomination, beginning with challenging me to another DEBATE,” the post read. “He feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. Presidency, a COUP, to the people in the World he most hates, and he wants it back, NOW!!!”
Are these the words of a stable man who is in touch with reality?
It gets worse. On the following Thursday, he held a lengthy press conference, supposedly to get the attention back on him instead of focusing so much on the “fun” and very successful rollout of the Harris-Walz ticket. By any measure, the conference was a disaster.
Trump repeated his familiar rants, complete with lies that have been repeatedly fact-checked. No, he did not cut taxes more than anyone else in history. No, he did not have a bigger crowd on Jan. 6 than Martin Luther King Jr. did for the March on Washington. No, it was not a “small” crowd that stormed the Capitol, and it was not a “peaceful” transfer of power.
