Donald Trump is bigly mad, and he’s not hiding it.

A day before the Democratic National Convention, with Vice President Kamala Harris swinging through one of the key battleground states where she recently turned the polling tables on him, Trump embarked on a Truth Social posting spree.

The former president posted or reposted his own content more than 25 times to his Truth Social account on Sunday, flooding his followers’ feeds with familiar rants, false claims, and A.I.-generated images of Taylor Swift fans backing his campaign.

    Until recently I thought Trump is just a manipulator and con man. A man who knows how to play gullible people to get what he wants.

    But more and more I think that he actually believes all the shit he puts out there. That he is a genuine hateful, bigotted white surpremacist (or more like trump-supremacist) that feels like he has to save the world from communism and socialism.

    And somehow that makes it worse.

      Trump is proof anyone can become a billionaire, alleged or otherwise, as long as they start with rich enough parents. He really is as dumb as you’d imagine and takes every opportunity to prove that.

        The easiest, and most common, way to become rich is to be born rich.

          I think I read a study a while ago that said something like 40% of all wealth in the US in inherited.

          Donald was born rich and lost astonishing amounts of money failing at business.

          Likely had a long list of disciplinary actions against him that daddy squashed with a nice big donation.

          Based on the rest of his life I would guess, sexual assault, cheating, plagiarism, bullying, hazing, and chronic absenteeism.

      Everything about Trump gets worse with time and exposure. And finally at least some of maga have caught on.

      Well, both things are true I would say. A lot of the racism and misogyny stems from genuine beliefs (there’s plenty of evidence of that from his time before politics).

      But he is also a pathological liar who has never had any regard for the truth, and never had any issue spouting wild lies about anything. I don’t believe for a second that he wants to save anyone from anything. He is a malignant narcissist that wants only three things: adoration, attention and power - probably in that order.

      You’re missing two key elements of trump:

      • he’s a sociopath
      • he’s demented

      All of his bizarre callous comments about war, the army, or any regular example where a human would show empathy - he has none. NONE.

      It’s clear his brain, distorted as it was to start, is breaking down even further. His bizarre ranting and word-salad bar speeches are getting even more chaotic and he’s losing some speech abilities, which is something for a guy who can not stop lying and doesn’t sleep.

      Welcome to the real world. It has always been very obvious that he isn’t just an all around terrible person but also monumentally stupid. So yes, he’s exactly as racist bigoted and misogynist as he seems.

      Projection is a Jedi mind trick done on oneself: you have to believe all the ugly stuff you say about everyone else, so you don’t have to have the ugly truth of who you really are.
