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.
This is called narcissism, he is just a narcissist with a hard-on for himself and unfortunate access to widespread attention
Same people he has been fooling for years. The fanatical MAGA believers and everyone on the right who subscribes to the whole, “If it doesn’t fit my narrative, it is fake news.”
“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.
True, and I indeed should have said “reflex” instead.
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.
Or they’re something that is trying to stand in his way and interfere with him.

I heard Trump and Vance have been eating the dogs and cats in Ohio
I’m from Ohio, and confirm that I’ve witnessed this!
I’ve heard of Ohio, so I can confirm that others have witnessed this
ChatGPT says it’s true, and robots can’t lie!
Did you see it on TV?
I have the concept of prove
You think those two eat removed?

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.
It’s projection.
With conservatives It’s always fucking projection.
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.
Preach! But it’s mostly to the choir I think.
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.
Odd that you can see exactly in that tweet where his staffer stopped writing and handed the phone over to Donnie.
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.”
Oh shit didn’t realize he was from a different county
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.

Remember when all the Republicans were making jokes about the guy breaking into Pelosi’s house and attacking her husband with a hammer?
They encourage political violence because they know it generally benefits them and then act outraged when it bites one of them.
Yea this is getting dangerous. We need to put him somewhere safe. Like really safe. Maybe like concrete walls so bullets can’t get through, and barred windows to prevent would-be assassins from getting in. Have like multiple points of entry under lock and key, with armed guards all over.
Wall off the entire area too - big tall concrete walls. And barbed wire on top. No one’s getting through that! Ooh and some towers around good vantage points with spotlights and snipers.
We really can’t be too careful.
Does anyone know a place like that where Trump might belong?
Oh, I know one place like that! It sounds like One Tan Ammo. Dang it, it’s on the tip of my tongue.
Guam Dynamo? I know it had a really ritzy sounding name
There’s no where like that for rich( or pretend to be billionaire?) orange people that I can find. If he was noticably poor I bet something could be figured out without much hassle.
Such a shame there’s no institutional protection for the pretend billionaire oompa loompa class when they invite violence.
Maybe the survivors can sing him a song.
Oh. That’s a bummer. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the next assassin. /shrug.
Says the guy who was “just invited to give a speech” on 1/6/21, and who had no idea whether his innocent highlight of JD Vance’s Ohio Consituent’s “first hand evidence” led to numerous bomb threats over several days.
Trump later added. “I can use it too — far better than they can — but I don’t.”

Trump’s assassins probably heard him say “You’ll never take back your country with weakness” and thought “He’s right”.
This statement is expected from the Gaslight, Obstruct, Project political party.
Shooter 1: Republican
Shooter 2: Former MAGA
Hmmm
These democrats sure are playing long cons…
I mean, Sniper #2 supported Trump in his first run, and just got ticked off about Trump not saying that he’d support Ukraine adequately. I don’t think that that’s something that one can really attach to Biden and Harris.
The problem is youre not supposed to think about it rationally and you have now shown more critical thinking than the cultists
That’s called a taste of your own medicine Donald. This is how you make the Haitian community in Springfield feel.
Considering the Klan is recruiting there now…
Springfield already has a police dept.
It’s got to be driving him absolutely nuts that the second shooter is also a presumably christian, straight, white, man. Anything else and he could work with it. White woman? Women are too emotional and shouldn’t be trusted to make important decisions. Black man? Go-go all out on the racism. Brown skinned? Anti immigration fear mongering. Trans or gay? Groomer nonsense. Anything other than Christian and he could fearmonger about their foreign religions.
Literally the only identity he can’t exploit is christian, straight, white men and they’re the ones who keep trying to kill him.
Well unfortunately for him they’re the ones that he kept radicalizing to violence.
“It’s just horrible – so surprising to see it here. But we have to get over it. We have to move forward.”
-Trump in response to a school shooting in Iowa, the day after the shooting, back in January 2024.
Trump needs to get over being shot at, that’s the America that him and the GOP have created. If he doesn’t like it… maybe consider some sort of way to control access to guns so that unhinged individuals can’t get them… something like… I don’t know, gun control?
What Trump needs is a Good Guy With A Gun.
Has he tried hiring a security guard? Did he try Duck & Cover? An armed school teacher maybe?
Why hasn’t the billionaire properly secured himself? We all know the public option is de minimus, so why hasn’t he gone deep into the private mercenary world to hire the best?
/s if it wasn’t obvious
