He can’t stand that the media is talking about Biden and Harris and not him. He is a child shouting “Look at me!”
I think he’s finally figured out that Harris is going to suck all the oxygen out of the room for a long time. He wants free airtime.
Well all he cares about is optics and being in the news (good or bad) more than anything else. Any “policy” he word salads about is just a vehicle to get attention. At the RNC he couldn’t even help himself and had to mention his crowd size and how they cared so much about him when recounting his assassination attempt (even went on about how nobody even moved when they heard the shots because they needed to know he was ok - I saw video showing otherwise).
Edit autocorrect is my nemesis
Also, he wants to be president (and was president) and has no idea how shit works. Maybe that’s not a good sign.
I guess he thought wearing a huge bandaid on his ear claiming Jesus personally chose to save him while innocent little children all over the world died in various horrible ways would still be bigger news.
Trump still can’t bring his diseased brain around to the fact that Biden is no longer his opponent.
This isn’t a campaign speech. There is no “equal time”.
Are we surprised? He still hasn’t brought it around the fact that he lost the last election
He’s too old and should withdraw.
He can’t remember, must be age related?
The letter, written by Trump’s campaign manager David Warrington, argues that Biden’s speech is not a true news event but rather a “campaign advertisement during prime time.”
They really, really don’t want Biden to have dropped from the race.
And without a hint of irony. Everyone remember how trump used his trials press conferences as campaign advertisements?
And the whole reason he announced so early was because he knew the indictments were coming and wanted to play the “election interference” angle to try and shield himself from being held accountable.
Well, that and he knew that he could grift lots and lots of money from people as long as it was for a “campaign”. Plus, if he claims that everything anyone ever does is “election interference”, then it becomes easier to justify using campaign funds for everything.
If he reads this, he’ll decide he needs to get more indictments for the free air time.
It’s only fair—if Biden gets coverage for announcing he’s dropping out of the race, Trump should get equal coverage when he announces he’s dropping out.
If he wanted to speak from the Oval Office, he should have won in 2020.
That’s purely in his strategy to pretend that the system is “rigged” against him so he can stir up another riot when he loses once again.
As always, all one needs to do is pretend that Trump is an unusually tall and bald five-year-old, and what he says and does makes perfect sense.
and what he says and does makes perfect sense.
Only if the 5 year old spent those 5 years eating lead paint. In a meth lab. While on meth.
You are being deeply and unreasonably unfair to five-year-olds. The ones I’ve met tend to be curious, happy, utterly inclusive and considerably more coherent than the orange one.
True.
I need to think of a concise way to frame that, because he’s not like any five-year-old - he’s like Donald Trump as a five-year-old.
Yes - most five-year-olds are the way you describe. But there’s that one who not only refuses to share, but yanks toys he doesn’t even want away from the other kids just so they can’t have them, who throws tantrums over pretty much anything and everything, who can’t be trusted with anything delicate or complicated because he’ll get mad and break it when he can’t figure out how to work it, who kicks the backs of airline seats and throws screaming fits in the middle of stores, who steals anything he can get his hands on and lies brazenly when he gets caught…
That’s the five-year-old Trump was, and still is.
I’m really not sure there are any shortcuts here, he is such a uniquely awful human being that any comparison will fall short. He’s not the most evil person in the world, he’s not the most racist, or the most homophobic, he isn’t the thinnest skinned and he’s not the most selfish or vindictive or vain, but he only loses out in any category by the smallest of margins. I fear that trying to find a yardstick to measure him by that encompasses all of the negatives is a vain errand, and in future he will be the yardstick we measure others of such a veanal and contemptible nature.
I thought they got rid of the fairness doctrine when it was in their favor. Now they want it back?
Trump doesn’t give half a flying shit about “equal” time. He knows that a certain percentage of his crystal-meth-loving base will hear “Dey dint give him equil time becuz its all rigged!” and will use that to justify not accepting the election results.
And if he’s serious, someone may wanna clue him in that he literally has all the time he wants – he created an entire cut-rate social media platform for that purpose. He can take all the time he wants on it. The fact that it’s the online equivalent of the homeless man in the park, standing on the bench and preaching at the pigeons is his fucking problem.
The best response would be offering an impromptu debate between the two candidates following the address…
Doesn’t work that way ya orange fuck.
The guy can’t even understand he’s not president any more. Talk about cognignitive impairment. Republicans need a younger candidate.
Get fucked orange genius.
“I demand my own bully pulpit!”
Fox and Newsmax will comply with their dear leader
