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.
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.
His extreme narcissism means that he is 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.

IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE IS THAT EVEN REMOTELY, METAPHORICALLY, GENEROUSLY TRUE!? The man cannot open his mouth without generally talking about how everyone on the left is actively, intentionally and malevolently destroying America, and that’s when he is not actively calling for his highly volatile MAGA followers to do unethical, and even illegal, things to ensure “they don’t steal this election”. His followers break into and flood the Capital Building leaving police officers in their wake, conspire to kidnap governors, break into Nancy Pelosi’s home and beat her husband to within an inch of his life when they don’t find her, not to mention all the general violence and hate of those like the Proud Boys, the Patriot Front, and other white Christian nationalists. The idea that anyone could ever possibly see you as innocent in, at minimum, your rhetoric is mistifying.
Well Trump has no imagination so that’s simple for him, not sure I’d say that about all conservatives, just the simple ones. The ones that have an imagination are possibly more dangerous but least none of them are running for president…this time.
That said can you imagine how stunted someone would have to be not to have an imagination? If so you’re probably better off mentally than half the presidential candidates.
Edit oh right 3rd party… So better off than half of the realistic presidential candidates.
His coaching from his campaign is showing through. They desperately want him to be the law and order candidate, “weathering the storm from the militant left”, but he just can’t help but attack the left and encourage further violence. He will sabotage his own campaign and image if he starts encouraging violence here.
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.
His own words and actions do it pretty well
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:
CRIMINALS…IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM AMERICAN CITIES AND TOWNS
Trump is the only U.S. president or former president to be convicted of a crime and the first major-party candidate to run for president after a felony conviction.[637] He faces numerous criminal charges and civil cases.[638][639]
Um.
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.
Where is he suggesting we deport the two white Americans who tried to kill him?
Didn’t you read it? To their “counties of origin.” Oh, excuse me: “TO THEIR COUNTIES OF ORIGIN.”
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.
