Based on what he’s been posting on social media since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor, disgraced former president Donald Trump sounds incredibly worried that he’s about to lose in November.
Trump began posting on his Truth Social site Sunday after Biden made his announcement. He sounded angry and worried.
He was back at it this morning.
Reaction to Trump’s postings was cutting and hilarious.
Convicted and disgraced former president Donald Trump probably thought his choice of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate was a brilliant move, according to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, but it’s already backfiring on him and could cost him the election.
Trump picked Vance, Maddow explained, because he thought he would be running against President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race on Sunday. Donald thought he needed to shore up support from conservatives instead of reaching out to independent and undecided voters, she added.
“He wanted him for governing, not campaigning.”
“They picked J.D. Vance because they thought they had this election in the bag, and Joe Biden did this today, and now it is an absolutely different ball game.”
“J.D. Vance and Donald Trump are going to lose in November and Donald Trump is going to regret picking J.D. Vance as his running mate.”
Vance’s extreme positions on the issues of abortion, contraception, and no-fault divorce, Maddow noted, are not popular with the vast majority of Americans.
“Any Democrat who can talk about the kinds of issues where J.D. Vance has taken the kinds of stances … those are not 50/50 issues in this country. They are not 60/40. He is taking the kind of stances that single digits of Americans support.”
Maddow concluded her remarks with this: “You do not need any type of Democrat in particular to prosecute a case against J.D. Vance. He is a real weirdo from a really, really narrow slice of the far right side of the ideological doctrine.”
“They picked him because they didn’t think he would have to be defending himself at all. Because he thought he didn’t need to compete very hard to win, he picked J.D. Vance. He picked someone who’s not going to help him at all.”
Looks like Biden may have managed to completely screw up the GOP’s election strategy. And if we’re lucky, it’ll cost them big time when the votes are counted.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk may soon be getting a visit from the U.S. Secret Service after sharing a violent video on his social media platform Saturday that shows an animated Donald Trump killing President Joe Biden in a scene from the 1999 film “The Matrix.”
In the video, Trump is cast as Neo, dodging bullets shot at him by Biden. Near the end of the video, Trump jumps into Biden’s body and causes him to explode.
The violent video has been viewed over 112 million times and shared by other Twitter users 466,000 times.
But as many on social media noted, Musk seems to have threatened a sitting president, which is not only dangerous, but also a federal crime at a time when the country is already on edge after Trump was shot and wounded last Saturday by a lone gunman.
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg exposed Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance as a fraud and huckster Friday evening during an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” and a video of his comments is going viral online.
Discussing why Silicon Valley high-tech executives are so eager to see Vance become VP, Buttigieg noted, “These are very rich men who have decided to back the Republican Party, that tends to do good things for very rich men. That’s kind of what you’re getting with J.D. [Vance], right?
Buttigieg then referenced past comments Vance made about failed former president Donald Trump in which he called the convicted felon an “opioid.”
“For somebody whose identity is that they’re connected to Appalachia, which has an opioid crisis, that really is the darkest thing you could possibly say about Donald Trump, at least in public. Behind the scenes, he was actually calling him ‘Hitler,’ right? Seriously!”
Much like former vice president Mike Pence, Buttigieg added, Vance is willing to compromise his values to achieve power.
“I watched [Pence] start out as an evangelical Christian who cared about rectitude and family values, and then get on board with a guy who was mixed up with a porn star, and make excuses for him. He got four glorious years, I guess, as vice president of the United States. And it ended on the West front of the U.S. Capitol with Trump supporters proposing that he be hanged for using the one shred of integrity he still had to stand up to an attempt to overthrow the government.”
“So I guess, maybe not as a politician but as a human being, what I’ll say is that I hope things work out a little bit better for J.D. Vance than they did for Pence,” he added.
There was a time when Republicans had brains and spines. But those days are long gone.
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of convicted felon Donald Trump, is getting pilloried on social media for comments he made about his daughter, Kai, before she spoke at the Republican National Convention this week.
According to Newsweek, Don Jr. posted a video of himself and Kai preparing for their convention appearance.
In a video posted to his official TikTok account Thursday, Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son, can be seen in a chair next to his 17-year-old daughter Kai while a cosmetic artist dabs his face with a makeup pad.
“Kai, what do you think? Getting makeup, make me look sexy like you?” he said to the camera.
“I think you look very beautiful,” his daughter replied.
He then added, “I don’t do this often, but in HD you better do it,” appearing to refer to his public appearance at the RNC, which was filmed.
Junior’s father has made similar comments about his daughter, Ivanka Trump, suggesting that he found her to be sexier than his wife when she was only 13 years old.
Twitter users expressed disgust for Don Jr’s remarks, suggesting that such a comment isn’t appropriate, even as a joke.
Maybe when Kai has children in a few years, Don Jr. can make inappropriate sexual comments about them, too. After all, it’s all the rage in the Trump family.
