Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

    People say anti trump centrist republicans are a political dead end but it seems at least two of them were willing to make concepts of a plan with a gun.

    It’s become obvious over time that one of Trump’s primary strategies in life is assigning his failures and faults to other people. He lives in a sort of permanent fog of projection.

    I wonder who he’s trying to fool though. It’s so constant and seemingly effortless that I suspect that it’s really mostly for his own benefit - that it’s not just the story he’s telling other people, but the story he’s telling himself.

      “Strategy” implies he actually thinks about it. I think it’s just a reflex; fault belongs elsewhere, always. The man is incapable of critical thought, especially inward.

      This is called narcissism, he is just a narcissist with a hard-on for himself and unfortunate access to widespread attention

      Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, “If it doesn’t fit my narrative, it is fake news.”

      His extreme narcissism means that he he mentally incapable of seeing himself as anything other than the most perfect example of trump, and everyone else is either an extension of him (his direct family) or they’re just things to be exploited.

    Says the guy who was “just invited to give a speech” on 1/6/21, and who had no idea whether his innocent highlight of JD Vance’s Ohio Consituent’s “first hand evidence” led to numerous bomb threars over several days.

      Trump’s assassins probably heard him say “You’ll never take back your country with weakness” and thought “He’s right”.

        professional

        I don’t think that word belongs near anything referring to Trump, unless immediately followed by “grifter”.

        The facts have conservatives terrified:

        Harris is a pro woman.

        Trump is a con man.

    He claims their rhetoric is making him look like the next Hitler who should be shot before he reaches power.

    He doesn’t need anyone’s rhetoric to make it look that way. His own words and actions do it pretty well.

    And also fuck this guy. He has been constantly and blatantly calling out for, encouraging and defending political violence against his opponents. He’s only upset that he’s on the receiving end of it this time. VOTE HIM OUT.

      Yup! It’s like he’s envisioning the prelude to the Holocaust and wanting to bring it into the modern day. This is from earlier today on his dumpster fire of a site:

          Imagine the logistics of this “immediate” operation, too. By his own estimation, it’s like 20 million people. These folks are to be, first and foremost, “IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS” and once that is done they would presumably be somehow sent off whence they came or whatever. But that first part is a real sticky thing. How are you going to immediately remove 20 million people from the cities and towns they are in? Where will you be taking them? Are you envisioning some sort of camp, or something similar, where you could sort of round them all up, or concentrate them, so to speak? Perhaps several of these camps will be needed, I suppose, just logistically. But how will he propose getting them there? Our trains have been derailing and shit, we need money to fix them first, don’t we? Maybe that’s not an issue for him, who knows.

          There is an ugliness built into his lexicon that reeks of holocaustic intent and it’s been slipping out more frequently it feels like.

        TERRORISTS, CRIMINALS, AND MENTALLY INSANE, IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS

        Oh, Donny you stupid chucklefuck. In the span of a month two different supporters of yours tried to do just that with a bullet to the worst offender of all three. Maybe it’s time to shut the fuck up cuz it sounds like they’re just as sick of your shit as the rest of the world.

      Yes, but that was just magas wanting to kill brown people. These freaks are still allowed to vote for this rapist, convicted felon, who won’t accept the election results because… He’s the better candidate for tHe EcOnOmY! i.e., he’ll let corrupt, billionaire white men exploit more people…

    I’ve been thinking about why the assassination attempts have only just now started. I wonder if they become more likely when a politician or celebrity is seen as weakening in favor as opposed to when they are on the rise.

      His base is turning on him, and they’re the degenerate weirdos who think the only way to save the republican movement is to kill Trump. They learned this brilliant tactic from Trump himself, he even gave them some training exercises with Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.

      Trump has used and hurt his voter base a lot, I’m not surprised they’re coming back to get him.

    Agreed! Even though Republicans keep calling for the Execution and Assassination of Political Leaders its the DEMOCRATS who are causing Division!
