Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trump—but we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.
Donald Trump is in free-fall. Read this description from Sunday’s Washington Post of how the GOP nominee spent last week: “[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.”
If you didn’t know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, Trump has called Kennedy the “dumbest member” of the Kennedy family and a “radical left lunatic.” Kennedy has calledTrump a “terrible human being” and “probably a sociopath.”
Wait, you’re telling me that the man that constantly calls people names and ridiculed his Republican presidential opponents can’t take the heat?
They are just now learning this
I mean, we already knew the entire reason he ran in the first place was because Obama made a joke about him publicly at a political dinner.
I hear if you splash water on him he melts.
But he’s orange, not green.
Yeah, but it’s just paint.
So throw “The Dip” from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” at him.
He doesn’t have enough of a sense of humour to be a toon.
I could have told them that 10 damn years ago. Clearly these politicians were never bullied as kids.
I feel like there’s an old school, ancient parable about laughing at the monster to make it go away that I’m trying to remember
Maybe it’s hindsight being 20/20 but, it seems so obvious ridicule would hurt a narcissist
Trump has been ridiculed the whole time. The only people who treat him as a serious candidate are his supporters and the media. That was true in 2015, that’s true today.
That is not the impression I got as someone not from the US. I mostly saw scared and angry from democrats, and scared, angry or reverence from the news media. And that seems to be what he thrives on.
Ridicule came from stuff like the tv comedians and internet sources like YouTube… but these are easy enough to ignore.
Now that the ridicule is coming from the actual establishment, it cannot be ignored.
I find it very cool that the vile hatred, fearmongering and general dispicable behavior can be countered with joy, ridicule and a general cheerful demeanor.
Just the other day one of the GOP ghouls came out and actually said there is no joy… ROFL… they’re melting…
Now dial it up to 11 dems.
Yeah, while there was mockery it didn’t come from ‘official’ sources. They called him serious names and didn’t ridicule him. They made it clear he was dangerous, but they also gave him respect like a serious candidate, contender, opponent, rival.
It probably would have worked from the beginning to just laugh at him, IF it was coming from the actual political establishment. If Clinton had essentially based her entire campaign around ‘hahah…oh wait you’re serious? Let me laugh harder.’ there’s a good chance he would’ve crashed and burned before ever getting off the ground, I think.
They don’t even have to ridicule him. All they have to do is take every single thing he has ever boasted about and one-up him. That’s it. Get someone better at golf that Trump to play Mar-A-Lago and beat Trumps score. Get that person speaking at Harris’s rallies and talk shit about the course and how they got the best score ever recorded there. Never even mention Trump by name but rest assured he’ll hear about it and freak out.
I thought we figured this out way back when he was losing his mind over the “small hands” thing.
Yup. He’s an old bully and absolutely cannot stand being made fun of. Watch his face when Obama and Seth made fun of this snowflake of a man.
It would be nice if it didn’t take all this time to go on the offensive lol. Dems always let the GOP position themselves as rational no matter what.
We should be paying far more attention to picking candidates who are able to attack and defend themselves. We focus on their history and what they say about what they’re going to do which of course never actually happens not holy their own fault though. We need to pick our candidates more like picking lawyers.
“The news is saying I don’t work as hard as my opponent. You know what I’ll go do? Golf some. That will show them how hard I work.”
Every time i have a dumb idea i just have to remember there is always a bigger idiot in the world. That always makes me feel better.
but we’ve been doing that since 2016
Christ. He’s so obviously bald up top, what a fucking ridiculous combover.
“She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate—a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery—surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”

I’m gonna choose to believe that was a misattributed source. Description of the hair? Not an expert but doesn’t sound wrong. Her daughter frequently describing the hair? Uhhhh
