Whiny Trump Thinks It’s “Unfair” He Has to Run Against Kamala

Donald Trump is not happy with the state of his campaign.

Donald Trump has been throwing a prolonged tantrum, as he struggles to accept that he is no longer running against President Joe Biden.

The former president and convicted felon has become increasingly distressed at the state of his campaign, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday.

As Vice President Kamala Harris has relaunched the Democratic Party’s campaign, Trump saw his fundraising edge dissipate under the shadow of her $310 million influx in July. At the same time, his campaign has struggled to find its footing in the new matchup, leaving some close to the campaign wondering how it was possible they were so ill prepared, according to the *Post. *

After flying so high at the Republican National Convention in July, it seems that Trump has had a hard time adjusting to the fact that his fight is not over.

“It’s unfair that I beat him and now I have to beat her too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend, according to the Post.

    We can all make fun of him but I think he is setting the stage to call the election unfair and unlawful when he eventually loses, be careful.

        Not to say this isn’t true, but the 2024 count probably also includes his continued whining about the 2020 election. It’s all part of the same thing, but it’s blurrier than the other two metrics.

          Notes: The Times’s analysis counted specific references to “election interference,” “rigging,” “stealing,” “cheating” and related terms, as well as references to voter fraud, in posts on Twitter (now X) and Truth Social; at campaign events; and in interviews in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 election cycles. The analysis most likely represents an undercount of the number of times the former president has baselessly sown doubt about election fairness or integrity.

            Um…ok? That really only supports what I said - there was no distinction between which election he was talking about.

            The Times has documented more than 500 campaign events, social media posts and interviews during the 2024 cycle in which Mr. Trump falsely accused Democrats or others of trying to “rig,” “cheat,” “steal” or otherwise “influence” the next election — or of having done so in 2020.

            In terms of pure numbers, that’s gonna inflate the stats.

                I’m not arguing with anybody. Just pointing out a notable difference in the sets of data.

        He tapped an outside contractor to come up with the governance and policy plan. They basically delivered him a 900 page authoritarian how-to manual.

          That’s the decoy manual, he really plans to use a subscription based manual called Vladimir Putin.

      Cheating the vote obviously has legs, but whining that it’s unfair he has to run against someone he doesn’t want to isn’t going to hit the same. He is really losing his edge and getting slow-witted, and it really looks to me like maga is running out of gas, and I don’t think there is anyone out there who can replace Trump to pour fuel on the fire.

      He’s no longer in the position to keep the military away for his insurrection. They will be there in force and any bullshit magats think they’re going to pull is going to be snuffed out quicker than he can inhale a bigmac.

      Unless he somehow gets the whole US military to stage a coup for him, we’ll be just fine and get rid of a lot of dead weight in the process.
