I’ve a crow in my yard in DC that has been cawing for 3 weeks. It drives me loopy, so I used to be completely happy to get out of city and again on the path.
However now comes Donald Trump to caw and caw even louder than a rattling crow.
If you happen to want extra proof that Trump is confused about methods to stand as much as Kamala Harris, simply take a look at his insane response to her dynamite conference.
On Friday morning, Trump sang on Fact Social: “My administration can be nice for girls and their reproductive rights.”
On Friday evening, Trump exclaimed, “The Republican Social gathering is shifting ahead on many fronts and I’m very proud that we’re a LEADER on IVF.”
Sure, a frontrunner in making an attempt to do away with him.
At first I assumed there have to be an Iranian hack. These posts had been too ridiculous even for Trump. His modus vivendi is projection, however the posts appeared meant to help Kamala’s line in her huge speech that in relation to girls’s reproductive rights, Trump and JD Vance are merely “out of their minds.”
In any case, Trump normally cries for the three conservative justices he placed on the Supreme Courtroom who would have overruled Roe. If he returns to the Oval, he’ll seemingly put one other non secular fanatic on the courtroom who will attempt to impose another horrible authorized restriction on the nation.
And the worst half is that Trump is not even a real believer. He was pro-choice lengthy earlier than he determined to run for president as a Republican. The amoral man who was as soon as a well-known promiscuous New York playboy broke the Supreme Courtroom just because it helped him along with his Christian proper disciples.
Kamala poked enjoyable at Trump in her speech, dismissing him as a “frivolous individual,” however the true dagger in his coronary heart was that she outperformed him within the scores. This brought on a meshuga meltdown at Fact Social, with Trump maniacally utilizing no matter nonsense he may consider.
As Kamala took the stage wanting robust and chic in a navy blue Chloé pantsuit, Trump requested, “WHERE IS HUNTER?”
He then accused Tim Walz of résumé enhancement for his function on a highschool soccer staff. “Waltz was an ASSISTANT coach, not a COACH.”
Drafting defensive coordinators isn’t a superb voting technique in Friday Evening Lights territory.
He adopted up the posts with a name to Fox Information, blasting Brett Baier and Martha McCallum for 10 minutes, till Baier abruptly interrupted him to lash out at The Greg Gutfeld Comedy Present.
“At a number of factors throughout the name, a well-known beeping sound interrupted Mr. Trump’s remarks,” wrote Michael Greenbaum and Michael Gold of the Instances. “The previous president seems to be by chance urgent buttons on his telephone’s keyboard.”
Trump acknowledged that Democrats have a “nice-looking chamber” for his or her conference.
Friday was one other day of insanity as RFK Jr. – the anti-vaxxer – dropped out and supported Trump, who as soon as proclaimed he himself is the “father of the vaccine” for Covid. In Phoenix, RFK Jr. gave a rambling speech that went from tainted meals to media collusion and censorship to Democrats being the occasion of “huge cash.” (The latter, though he selected a billionaire as vp, he acquired millions from a billionaireand helps a billionaire.)
Amongst different deceptive statements, RFK Jr. mentioned he may nonetheless someway win and find yourself within the White Home. He mentioned his former occasion had “deserted democracy” by changing Joe Biden with Harris, regardless of giving his help to a person who tried to overthrow the democracy he ran.
At a night rally with Trump in Glendale, Arizona, Kennedy mentioned with out irony that Trump would defend us from totalitarianism. The quick meals champion praised Kennedy, saying he needs to scrub up the meals provide.
Trump likes to be hugged by Kennedy – even an unconventional one. However the former president’s motto is extra like, “Ask not what your nation can do for you, ask what you are able to do for me.”
Kennedy raised the problem of his father and uncle throughout his announcement, and his different relations will need to have been humiliated.
RFK’s cousin and JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, a conference speaker, commented X: “I’ve by no means been much less shocked in my life. I have been saying it for over a yr – RFK Jr. on the market, working for Trump. Companions and I find it irresistible.’
At an occasion in Las Vegas on Friday to tout his no-tax-on-tips coverage, Trump continued his obsessive criticism of Kamala’s efficiency, whereas mispronouncing her identify and saying she talked about his identify 21 instances in her speech. (Trump’s identify really seems 16 instances, however everybody is aware of he can not help inflating the numbers.)
“She lied,” he mentioned. “However that is good as a result of lots of people lie. They’ll do something to get elected.”
Nicely, he ought to know.
“She’s a copycat,” he mentioned. “She’s a flip flop.”
Nicely, he ought to know.
Now we start what can be a really ugly banter between the Frivolous Man and the Inexperienced Lady.
High Democrats warn that Trump can nonetheless be nice if he stops unraveling.
Kamala got here throughout as robust when speaking in regards to the navy and overseas coverage in her speech. However there are nonetheless loads of exams forward – together with livid assaults from Trump, a doubtlessly troublesome interview and debate subsequent month. She wants to point out that she has what it takes after stepping away from the teleprompter. Can he handle to get via the naked minimal of political stuff with out viral gaffes?
Kamala holds the hopes of many individuals on this nation who’re praying that she is not going to be seen within the subsequent 72 days.
She will take coronary heart that she’s driving Trump loopy. He is jealous of her appears, her crowd, her star energy, and her upbeat, daring vibes. That is a superb begin.
