On Wednesday, failed one-term and twice-impeached former president Donald Trump suggested that social media engagement numbers for the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris were being inflated, claiming that he was far outpacing her online.
In an all-caps rant he posted on his failing Truth Social site, Trump blared:
“IT’S ALWAYS FAKE WITH KAMALA. WE’RE DOMINATING HER ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO SHE MAKES UP A FAKE LIST OF HER NUMBERS VERSUS MY NUMBERS. ALL OF OUR ENGAGEMENT IS REAL AND ORGANIC, WHILE KAMALA HAS TO PAY FOR HER FAKE ENGAGEMENT. WE’RE BEATING HER ‘LIKE A DRUM’, LIKE WE WILL BEAT HER ON NOVEMBER 5TH. IT’S ALL FAKE, IT’S ALL MISINFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION. WE ARE DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA!”
Wow! That’s a hell of a lot of insecurity for one screed. And it’s also proof that the Trump campaign is floundering, with his poll numbers fading and Harris tied or ahead in several key battleground states.
Rather than try to counter Trump’s blatant lies, the Harris campaign tweeted out a two-word response that vaporized Donald’s whining:
That set off a wave of online mockery aimed squarely at the convicted GOP nominee.
