Trump Campaign Needs to be Put Out of its Misery
Aug 18^th, 2024 at 10:54am

In a rambling, bizarre campaign speech in Pennsylvania that was a self-parody of a parody of a Trump campaign rally, Trump has become the human wrecking ball of the Republican presidential bid.

From off-script rants about Biden hating Harris (or KA-MA-LA as he deliberately mispronounces it), to Harris's laugh, to claiming Harris pulled off a presidential coup, to claiming he is better looking than Harris, &etc... his speech created the atmosphere of a drunk taking over the microphone in a comedy club.

I'd bet shrinks will be intuiting that Trump's narcissism is driving him into full-speed reverse. If he can't win in a landslide, he'll take heart in going down as the presidential candidate who clocked up the biggest election defeat in US history.

And he'll use that as ammunition to incorrectly claim that the election was stolen again.

Interestingly, he's enlisted the services of Tulsi Gabbard to help him prepare for the debate with Harris.

He's desperate.

Will Gabbard replace JD Vance? Undecided

Well... why not?

A feature that this soap opera is currently missing - a high-stakes catfight! Walz wouldn't touch it... What man would step into that??!!

It would certainly spice things up, but I hope it doesn't happen as it would give Trump a better chance.

Maybe Jason Alexander might come close with 'George Costanza' running for president... minus the Village People!

Trump will NEVER get replaced by the Republicans. If anyone tried to, he’d just tell his MAGA cult members to go after whoever it was. They’re too scared of him. Why else have so many Republicans who criticised him changed their tune (including his running mate Vance)? It’s because they don’t want to lose the support of his crazy cult followers. It’s pure survival instinct, to hell with standing on their morals. They just want to get elected/re-elected and don’t care how.

Another comedy moment from the wannabe comedian was his midstream MAGA slogan change to Make America Affordable Again... or MAAA...

I'm wondering how many of his Appalachian farmer base found it funny... Not many, I'm guessing given the silence of the crowd, as many of them started filing out.

If he keeps this up, the Republicans might be up for losing the presidency, the House and the Senate...

A trifecta as the funnyman might call it.

Just so, Bobby. Have you influenced Mort yet?

How about Panther? He'll have to vote by mail, poor thing.

Lucky Mr Trump said that's okay now, eh?
