Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trumpābut we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.
Donald Trump is in free-fall. ReadĀ this descriptionĀ from SundayāsĀ Washington PostĀ of how the GOP nominee spent last week: ā[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.ā
If you didnāt 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, TrumpĀ has calledĀ Kennedy the ādumbest memberā of the Kennedy family and a āradical left lunatic.ā KennedyĀ has calledTrump a āterrible human beingā and āprobably a sociopath.ā
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, thatās 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 YouTubeā¦ 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 joyā¦ ROFLā¦ theyāre meltingā¦
Now dial it up to 11 dems.
Yeah, while there was mockery it didnāt come from āofficialā sources. They called him serious names and didnāt 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 āhahahā¦oh wait youāre serious? Let me laugh harder.ā thereās a good chance he wouldāve crashed and burned before ever getting off the ground, I think.
But having Obama bringing in the size of itās dick is somewhat of a new situation.
It hilarious and I am sure this does hurt little Donny deep into his heart.
You assume he has one to be hurt.
