‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of  insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity  at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

      There’s only a handful of people in the world trump could beat in an election…

      And he never imagined Biden would actually get out of the way, so he has no idea what to do now that it’s not Biden.

        I am absolutely convinced that Trump’s entire election strategy was to just coast to victory on “Biden old” and “I got shot”. By the time of the republican convention he was confident that he had it in the bag and didn’t need to keep trying, so when Biden dropped out it completely shattered his plan and he’s got nothing to replace it. He does not have the cognitive ability to pivot against Harris/Walz and his ego is way too big to actually listen to his campaign strategists (if he even has any that aren’t just yes men).

        * this should not be interpreted as complacency. It is definitely not a sure thing that Harris will win

          Harris isn’t a guaranteed win, but she’d have to royally fuck up to blow this election.

          trump just isn’t as popular as he used to be. The last two elections there was trump shit all over my red state. I haven’t seen a single trump bumpper sticker. Not even old ones from prior elections.

    What a fucking useless article. “Just write anything about Trump, we need the clicks”. Fucking “journalists”, absolutely complicit in the downfall of the US and the turn towards fascism.
